Exactly. Just returned from a great international legal conference in cdmx!

The GWOT has returned to our shores

Ah I see. Yeah, could be said about stockholder primacy or stakeholder governance tbf

Communism? What does that have to do with anything here?

Please meet the Universal Shareholder👇

After this debate, I continue to think the best argument for shareholder primacy is Rick Alexander’s concept of the universal shareholder (The Shareholder Commons).

And the best argument against is inequality.

Anyone who has ever fact-checked one of his pieces can tell you a story ;)

Patrons famously love the myth that financial hardship breeds artistic creativity

Starting an art career seems hard.

On the one hand, most artists I know don’t make their art for money but because of a deep passion.

But on the other, if artists can’t get paid, then they have to spend their time at a day-job (dodging depression), rather than making their art.

Reminds me of that old bumper sticker you sometime see on fiddle cases:

Real Musicians Have Day Jobs

Heartbreaking footage like this is coming out each and everyday

For the record

About to step into a debate about shareholder primacy at Haas right now which reminds me that this article is very good 👇

Couldn’t survive as a public charity but can’t survive as an independent for-profit either huh?

Almost like it’s time for a way to deprioritize Shareholder Value… :)

Bovino insisting on a silent *only* while demanding adherence to formal logic is somewhat amusing

One sec just holding my breath for private capital to invest in climate change solutions/policy the same way it’s investing in AI and Trump

Amazing that anyone ever thought OpenAI was a public charity

I’m only on two boards rn if they need some rehabilitation I’m into and will crack the whip on sammy

Tim Cook is single-handedly ruining Apple’s reputation for me… his embrace of Trump really peals away the “good company” branding Apple has been hiding behind for years

Fun to imagine what a competent Democratic Party would do with this

DOJ is arguing rn in this case that an IJ and BoA *correctly* acknowledged (in denying a CAT claim) that the El Salvadoran government has relied on torture in prison as a policy 👀👀👀

Everyone is listening to Media Matters v. X Corp… but if they stay on the line and listen to the case directly after, they’ll hear my badass wife argue with the DOJ about torture and prison conditions in El Salvador 💪❤️

Where can I learn more about this local reporting network? :)

This is impressive

My wife’s DOJ counterparty filed an indignant motion to reschedule an 8:30am PT video hearing because (and this is the actual reason he cited) *the DOJ isn’t open at 5:30am ET*

… 🤔

DOJ must be a miserable place right now

Nah

Another reason to be a PBC :)

People upset about OpenAI forming as a public charity might also be upset that to learn how foundation PRIs provided the seed capital for vaping companies

It is not my top issue, but there is immense political power in the Epstein story
