My homeschool teen and I are working on valleyofvirtue.com, but have not yet been able to get many eyeballs on the project. A quick peek and some candid feedback would be appreciated.

The AI arms race may not ultimately be one company against another. It may be one generation of intelligence against the next.
Patents are especially exposed. They are written today, largely fixed, and often tested years later by an adversary with better tools, more evidence, and a finished target. The author must anticipate broadly; the challenger may need only one consequential weakness.
That should change how we think about “good enough.” Faster and cheaper drafting may arrive at the same time the future bar for survival is rising.
The response is not to retreat from patents. It is to build stronger ones, review them more rigorously, and invest with a clearer view of what durable protection will require.

Sometimes the reasons given on our @bstocksol Costco returns make me chuckle. My 16 year old son can’t wait to investigate further.

The best humans may still have a decisive edge over AI in many judgment-heavy domains. But the future of “human judgment” may be decided less by who is best, and more by the economics of what is good enough.

In our homeschool co-op business class of about a dozen teens, student projects brought in over $20k of gross revenue in the 2nd semester.
Very satisfying to see the kids get their nose out of the books and pound the pavement.

Why is our courageous warfighter rep @RepEliCrane silent on Iran? It would be understandable of he were a trust fund kid or of some other political pedigree… but BRO!!! Certainly he has a point of view.

🚨 Problem: When downloading @bstocksol manifests for review, it's easy to lose track of which listing they belong to.
✅ Solution: Use Claude Code to build a simple Chrome extension to pre-pend the listing ID to the downloaded CSV.
🕑 Result: Spend more time on what matters.

Tonight I was jamming on some tools to improve the speed and quality of evaluating @bstocksol manifests. I am essentially encoding my thought process into some lightweight tooling.
I’m setting up more and more AI tools internally to make listing items faster and easier. It’s addicting

@samosaur and @ShawnRyanShow and @RepEliCrane
How long until we’re shipping millions in cash weekly to the IRGC? That’s our “liberation” playbook, yeah?

I wonder if we will scrape something together for the IRGC…
It’s 2026 and we’re still sending taxpayer dollars to the Taliban.
Think about that.
We passed @RepTimBurchett’s bill out of the House last year.
Like many other good bills - it’s just collecting dust in the Senate.

I bet the IRGC can’t wait to get theirs…
For those wanting an update on U.S. taxpayer dollars going to the Taliban:
Yesterday, January 12, 2026, the U.S. government delivered $87 million in cash to the Taliban’s Political Office in Doha, Qatar.
Anyone who told you the money stopped lied, and expected you to be stupid enough to believe them.
No more excuses. Stop funding terrorists!

My 16 year old son was watching a younger sibling play Shapez, and kept telling her there was a better way to construct her factories. He wasn’t wrong. His experience helped him clearly see how early gameplay and a systems mindset prepares you for the future.
He was mildly frustrated when his advice wasn’t appreciated and embraced. I couldn’t help but smile to myself.
As a parent, I certainly don’t know everything; not even close. But I have “played the game” of life enough to avoid some of the obvious pitfalls.
