I sometimes think about what my parents would have fallen for in Trump’s America, and it’s comforting to think they wouldn’t be total dopes about Trump and AI, but who knows. My heart goes out to people who are dealing with this.

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million to defeat Prop 40. Their combined wealth in January 2025 was $439 BILLION. By September 2026, it had grown to $722 BILLION. They're accidentally making the case for the billionaire tax better than anyone else could.

I wanted her to outlive him, but I'm coming around to the idea that it's probably sheer torture for him to watch someone be universally celebrated, with untold tales of generocity popping up at every turn. He knows none of this awaits him. He knows even the praise he gets won't be genuine.

Like with NFTs, they were informed that if they didn't go all in in public, they wouldn't get paid. So they decided that since "cancelling" doesn't seem to ever amount to anything but they can leverage it later anyway, why not. This math ain't hard, y'all.
