I can hardly wait for his supreme lapdogs to say that the 1A says "Congress" and OBVIOUSLY executive actions aren't similarly constrained. Does it say president? Does it say chief executive? Nope, carry on dear leader!

Not that this isn't worth noting. But "this is getting so much less attention!" seems reasonable to me. If you judge someone more (or even as) harshly for stealing something from Walmart as you do for assaulting an animal that cannot give consent then I absolutely think less of you.

They are _literally_ legally not VC firms anymore. They don't make most of their money from venture. They *do* make money from things like selling their investment in a company to... themselves, in a subsequent fund, during another round of funding for the company. And it gets worse.

I muted a Jeffries post yesterday because the pro-Jeffries crowd found it. Some of the kinder critiques were essentially "You don't understand how the game is played, but Jeffries does." I understand exactly how the game is played. He's working for who he considers to be his bosses, which are not us

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.
DHH tweet saying “This is why we need competition and open weights in Al. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).” when presented with his blog post using a slur about the Roma people.
