Because somehow the polls still show the President has an enormous amount of support. His ratings look no different than his last term around the same time but this term is vastly different.

Meritocracy, baby!

Dear Billionaires Who Supported Trump:

You really need to think about these things more seriously, even if you're motivated purely by self-interest, which you shouldn't be.

Your first priority should be the rule of law. Think of Mikhail Khodorkovsky, and the ten years he spent in jail.

I believe he was also once Elon Musk’s OC and Tesla’s GC for a minute.

Protection under the constitution is of no use if you can't find a law firm willing to represent you to assert that protection.

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

Government should NEVER be run like a corporation.

The Chiefs can still be named Super Bowl champions if Mike Pence has the courage.

Jimmy Carter Appreciation 🧵:

As we mourn Carter's death, there will be lots of discussion of his presidency and his post-presidential exploits, including his work with @habitatforhumanity.bsky.social and the @cartercenter.bsky.social.

What we do matters. #OnTyranny

Used #NotebookLM to create an AI podcast about SB1047 and the controversy around it leading to Governor @GavinNewsom’s veto, and included Senator @Scott_Wiener’s response.

For GenAI technology at its infancy, it leaves you in disbelief.

Take a listen -...

Yes, we have an EO (TY @JoeBiden), but given our Constitution’s limits on Executive Power, Congress needs to act swiftly.

Congress should ask @hlntnr and @TashaMcCauley to help write legislation ASAP. The two women, who tried to change the trajectory of AGI, were silenced and removed from the Board. AGI shouldn’t be regulated by capitalism.

As the Twitterverse reflects on #EffectiveAltruism, I am reminded of this piece by @darrenwalker of @FordFoundation from 2015 and it still resonates.

Sad that the world lost #CarmeChacón; the photo of her walking by soldiers in her third trimester is everything.

To protect an 8-year old boy in a special needs classroom, I'd be okay w/ undue burden.
