Pretty crazy someone can be charged federally with interfering in an election and those charges get dropped because they win an election.

The solution isn’t ozempic. The solution is getting food conglomerates to stop using addictive salts and oils. Rebuild cities to prioritize bikes and walkability. Get people off their phones and video games. Restructure the economy, to have fewer sedentary jobs.

why do you, an accelerationist/expansionist, not have a plan for how we get to one billion americans?

I’ve been thinking about the concept of ambition.
I was raised in startup land to believe that the most ambitious founders raised venture capital for their startups, and if you tried to build a startup without taking venture capital then it must be a “lifestyle business” (i.e. prioritizing being cushy vs making a dent in the universe)
I am coming around to believe that some of the most important companies (in terms of ambition and upside) don’t start out looking that way out of the gates. Not only do they not start out looking like venture-scale companies, in some cases, they don’t resemble companies at all!
A small band of crazies doing weird shit and tinkering may look like a toy or science project from the outside, but while many of these projects don’t go anywhere, it is also an incredible way to produce some of the most outsized winners.
My only point in all of this is that tinkering in the lab and having fun IS NOT playing small ball. If it looks weird to the suits from day zero, it is probably a good sign! Necessary, but not sufficient.

Continue to think Waymo is not getting enough credit for what they have accomplished. Self-driving cars are just roaming the streets of San Francisco. How are they not met with more wonder and praise?

I’m entering hospice today. Will probably update every little if at all. But I wanted to say to be kind, be brave, be principled, be an idealist. Most importantly, be a decent human.
I love that we existed together, in this moment of time.

Donald Trump has no greater friend than the far left, which has managed to alienate historic numbers of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Jews from the Democratic Party with absurdities like “Defund the Police” or “From the River to the Sea” or “Latinx.”
There is more to lose than there is to gain politically from pandering to a far left that is more representative of Twitter, Twitch, and TikTok than it is of the real world. The working class is not buying the ivory-towered nonsense that the far left is selling.

until the day I die I will never understand why he was even still allowed to run after this

Maybe Latinos who don't like the word "Latinx" are not "queerphobic"...maybe they just don't like someone making up a weird new term for them and then insisting they use it.

"You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American" - Reagan, 1988

At this point, so many kids go to college that the economy is forced to create physical-world workers by "demoting" college graduates.
An economy can't run if almost everyone is a laptop jockey. Physical reality still exists
This why many younger carpenters have MA degree.

I've been around these premises long enough that you hopefully won't mistake me for woke, but the Haitian immigrant stuff is profoundly racist and you should substantially lower your esteem for anybody engaging in it.
