The cancellations had zero to do with a failure to endorse, and everything to do with the billionaire owner overriding the Editorial team to protect his other economic interests.

Yes, many decent people have. I doubt most of them though were publicly shaming others for the exact same behavior they were participating in like Gaetz did to Hunter Biden a little more than a year ago. It is the hypocracy (and the underage child he abused) that is causing this strong reaction.

If Bezos would be willing to sell, I am sure between her contacts and her podcast partner Scott Galloway they could raise the cash and reignite the WO’w Journalistic integrity.

Even without the opening joke, this was a great episode. I always enjoy listeing to ProfG Markets on my long drive to work every Monday morning. Thanks Scott and Ed for the great content!

This has all the makings of a national emergency. Aging population, minimal safety net, vast oveerbuilding, fewer kids to support aging parents, and limited immigration success to fill the gaps.

If you go back and watch interviews or town halls with Steve Jobs, he frequently would pause for a decent amount of time, giving the question a lot of thought before answering. I always felt it was respectful and am always impressed by anyone who says "I am not sure" or "I need to think about it"

This makes no sense. Trump opened the door to unrestricted pardons when he pardoned Manifort and Stone, both directly related to crimes benefiting him, and then his Father-in-Law and soon to be himself. No loving parent would leave their son exposed to someone as vindictive as Trump

One of the greatest comedies in the history of television. And brave enough to stop at 5 years rather then have the quality deteriorate. 2 legends right there.

Social media platforms make $11B in ad revenue from U.S. teens — Harvard Gazette Harvard study is the first to offer estimates of the number of youth users on these platforms, and how much ad revenue is attributable to them each year.

There are about 11 billion reasons Zuck and other Social Media owners and executives are against Australia's move to ban social media use for kids under 16.

Australia's world-first social media ban for children under 16 attracts mixed reaction In Sydney, reaction to the ban was mixed. Children, meanwhile, said they would try to find a way around the ban.

Australians reacted with a mixture of anger and relief to a social media ban on children under 16 that the government says is world-leading, but which tech giants like TikTok argue could push young people to ‘darker corners of the internet’ reut.rs/3Zc4FCt

My Life As a Homeless Man in America An extraordinary firsthand account.

This story knocked the wind out of me and i hope esquire paid this man.

A brilliant but very uncomforable read. The interactions with law enforcement and his experience with the dentist really drove home for me the sense of lonliness and helplessnes the unhomed must feel constantly.

This is a great idea that would seem to help Trump by 1. Sending a warning shot to China and their Taiwan ambitions 2. Repair his reputation of being Putin's lapdog and 3. Fulfil his campaign promise.

Trump Can Win Against China – in Ukraine | by Simon Johnson & Oleg Ustenko - Project Syndicate Simon Johnson & Oleg Ustenko argue that forcing Russia to withdraw would yield a clearer win for the US than tariffs on Chinese imports.

Donald Trump claims that he can end the Russia-Ukraine war in a day. Simon Johnson (@simonhrjohnson.bsky.social) and Oleg Ustenko agree, and think that enforcing a $15/barrel cap on Russian crude oil price would do it, weakening China in the process. bit.ly/3Z8a7q2

Any other CEO who wrote posts like Musk would be fired by their Board immediately. 23 million and counting just got tired of scrolling through cringe and seedy posts to read the people we are following.

Completely agree. it was advocated so forcefully and conveyed by one of the most trusted individuals in government (Powell) and at a time when we were still dealing with the impact of 9/11. It felt like a complete betrayal from our government.

You are a national treasure George. Welcome to not-toxicville!

There is a chunk of Trump voters who voted for him reluctantly and who also likely realize how toxic Twitter has become. We should welcome them and have civil discussions and even disagreements. Minds will definitely be changed if we do that.

For 30 years, I have thought that the zip code question was some type of security measure designed to foil criminals who might be using a stolen credit card.

Very informative and inciteful. I own a home health business and I went from knowing almost nothing about AI a year ago to using it for some tasks weekly and trying to figure out other ways to use it. Thanks for sharing.

I wish Biden would extend the allowable targets they could use the ATACMS’s for and done it earlier. Weaken the hand of the Russians as much as possible before Trump takes over.

It's refreshing to be on a social networking platform where I can enjoy engaging content without feeling like I need a shower afterward. Goodbye, Xwitter. Hello, @bsky.app!

Mark as President and Mark Kelly as VP would be a dream ticket. Bring the D's back to being the party of common sense solutions that help the working class.

My wife and I found two forgotten IRAs from 2011, each with $5,000 in Apple stock. Over the years, those untouched investments had grown to nearly $50,000 each—a true case of "set it and forget it."

I found you on Prof G and am now hooked.
