DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

DoorDash Spent $1.4 Million Trying to Stop Mamdani From Becoming Mayor. Now We Know Why.

In a wage-theft settlement, DoorDash now has to pay its workers around 100 times what it spent trying to beat Zohran Mam

was talking about this recently with an ex-congressman (an old timer from the 80s and 90s) and one of the remarkable things about this cycle is that trump has given his party absolutely nothing to run on. no bill to tout, no accomplishment to hype, no nothing.

He’s not looking at a placard about lowering grocery prices. He’s not looking at a placard about end the Iran War. He’s not looking at a placard about reining in AI or ending the Canadian Trade War or expanding healthcare. He’s focused on what he thinks matters most: His grievances.

But the company would access all those recordings and data mine them for anything they could sell. No, they don’t tell people that. Yes, everyone does know it. No, there’s nothing you can do about it.

Either is possible, but if I were a betting man I’d guess the closest thing to a doomsday scenario is the fact that these companies have been virtually the only growth vectors for the U.S. economy for some time and if/when a collapse comes, we’ll have to reckon with that

Either frontier AI labs have created a doomsday scenario that we’re months away from (which they’ve been saying for years and we have little evidence of) or they’re wildly unprofitable and can no longer subsidize AI compute, which we actually have pretty good evidence of

Learning that the first “whistleblower” who started this panic only worked at Anthropic for ~six weeks and created his socials days before he made that post. A second “whistleblower” Joe Benton left Anthropic to go work for an AI safety nonprofit that Dario Amodei partnered with days later. Lol

It’s maybe a minor thing, but I hate how all these stories leave out the man’s name: Doris Miller. He’s just “black war hero”. Say his name!

One of the things that really brought a smile to my elderly mother-in-law was hearing what her visitor counts were to her quilting website. Now she's in hospice, so I'm going to try to drive some visitation numbers up quiltsbymarlene.com This is just a fraction of her 50 years of quilting.
