I find it weird that the First Lady who never met Epstein was interviewed about him but not the First Lady who dated him...

I don't know why this is so hard. Fighters winβ€”we see that over and over, because often it's *not* about their politics! Trump was perceived as a fighter!

The most effective way to reduce Trump as a foe is undermining his narrative as a tough guy... by fighting him.

OpenAI raises $110B in one of the largest private funding rounds in history | TechCrunch The new funding consists of a $50 billion investment from Amazon as well as $30 billion each from Nvidia and SoftBank, against a $730 billion valuation.

It's not a bubble.

But somehow, OpenAI has now raised around $160 BILLION in funding. To put that into context, that's about as much as all VC funding in the US in 2023, across every business.

Three weeks ago I spent a few days in one of our global dark sky sanctuaries in Rakiura Stewart Island New Zealand. Never has deep time felt so real or so close.

But every now and then one of Elon's dumbfuck satellites would interrupt the eternal rhythms of the stars. Let's not let it get worse.

Missed this chart from a couple of weeks ago. Further grist for the "πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ & πŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί are outliers, & the rest of the world doesn't really want either deglobalization or the end of international cooperation, & maybe we don't need totally new paradigms about world order just yet" mill.

I think @normative.bsky.social made this point yesterday, but once you get beyond the outrage of the brutality of the original β€œarrest” here, you also have to confront the fact that a D.A. CHOSE TO PROSECUTE THIS and a judge SENTENCED HIM TO A YEAR IN JAIL. Total system fail. WTF

They’re a fragmented company with scattered focus still recovering from their ill-advised crypto pivot and their stock is (was) off almost 80% from its peak. Yet, AI. Sure. Suuuuure.

Sure, 10x your productivity at work, but please don't carry that corporate mindset into your real life. It's ok to slow down and build meaningful relationships.

The Paranoid Style in American Oversight, Part I Senator Grassley’s account of how and why the FBI investigated Trump’s role in the false electors plot is a feat of political conspiracy.

"The piecemeal and nonchronological manner in which many of these documents have been released, and the lack of necessary context, distorts the narrative of how ARCTIC FROST began."
@michael-feinberg.bsky.social pushes back on Sen. Grassley's narrative of the FBI's probe into the fake electors plot.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Yes, by all means, yell at the Democrats. But everyone seems to find excuses why they must be the <only> people getting yelled at, & it’s exhausting. It makes everyone look deeply unserious about actually getting anything done.
