working on a theory of history called "the worst guy" theory basically whatever movement you create will eventually come to be controlled by its worst guy, and will likely be defined by its worst guy, so you gotta be really vigilant about figuring out where your threshold for worst guy is

The Crowd 306: Sock It To Me
Hi Crowd! While everyone else in the world is either betting on World Cup games, refreshing their Claude accounts to see if they have access to Fable 5 again yet, or spitting their coffee all over their laptops when they saw that Kamala Harris is privately reaching out Zohran Mamdani and others to think through a Palestine strategy for a potential second presidential run, I've been staring at my feet.

Stop believing VC bros who claimed they had to back Trump for the good of tech innovation. It was always bullshit. They just wanted access to power, as proven by them still supporting Trump after he has been way worse on tech policy than Biden.
