I need people to play attention to this 👇 and to what I said on Thursday

The destruction of politics is coming for the economy

Each list is one of the portfolios you mentioned in the article, and each is 100 companies long. I threw them all into a Google Sheet, and was wondering if I could send it to you just to get your take on like, if it's close to actually doing the thing lol?

Hey! So I've been thinking about this a lot since you posted it, and I've recently gotten into a lot more AI stuff as an engineer. On a whim yesterday, I fed this article to my Claude 3.5 instance as a PDF and had it generate me 3 CSV lists.

He now claims I was informed ON CHRISTMAS EVE OF ALL DAYS of this price increase. I checked every email inbox and spam folder. NEVER HAPPENED. #Verizon hashtag so this reaches their social media team

Aaaaahahahaha kill me

They must be graded on how long they leave customers on Read. I've had to say np like 7 different times

Verizon just increased my internet bill $5 for literally no reason with no warning.

Watch Trump say some shit like
“I also have a dream!” 🤡

Something I wrote in 2013:

"Each new generation figures out a new way to turn lead into gold, and to become wealthy while damaging the financial system. Some of these wizards are probably perfecting their financial alchemy right now."

No gonna lie, waking up in country without TikTok feels pretty good. I feel bad for the folks that made a living on it, but I feel like we’ll adjust and be better for it.

Google rolled out Gemini to all Google Workspace customers. It's supposedly a smart assistant.

Yet to be able to ask a question to which the answer in not:

"I can't help with that. Do you need help with anything else?"

Good example of over-promise, under-deliver.

David Lynch… 😭

My political affiliation is Mariokrat.

It’s so cold in my house that I’m sweating trying to stay warm and the sweat is making me colder 🥶

I’m so behind on my Substack inbox that I’m considering feeding the articles from last month to an AI to summarize for me lmao

This is wild.

We needed that stop so bad!! #HereWeGoSteelers

Man, Steelers defense better step it up. This is not looking good so far..

I remember someone saying there was some weird NDA-like thing too that Cybertruck buyers had to sign when buying that kind of concealed consumer sentiment. I wonder if this factored in? And I wonder if that’s true of their cars as well?

We made it to 2025!!! 🙌🏻

The holidays are a great time to establish a safe phrase with your family to avoid folks being scammed by AI voice impersonations on the phone!

Counting on yinz and PublicSource for coverage of Gainey's tax challenges of UPMC this next year! 🙏
Hoping we can get them to at least start paying their dues.

UPMC executives gave themselves raises and flew in a private jet while slashing jobs and raising fees City Paper with UPMC employees, patients, and local leadership to get a clearer sense of the disconnect between UPMC’s jetsetting executives and recently laid-off workers.

Just a reminder to those who are reflecting on the less than lovely healthcare industry, that UPMC execs did this is 2024:

This would genuinely make me consider having kids with my spouse. Right now, chances of having kids are <1% for us for a variety of reasons, and 100% of parents I know are struggling to find childcare so both parents can keep working.

Unless it's .io, then pay $60 💀
