Cooper Flagg looks like a future NBA superstar. He may choose to stay in college He should stay. I tout him as the new Larry Bird, but another year at Duke would help the 18 year old. He's making a ton of money anyway now that high school and college make appearances and sell merch.

www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/u... Good move Tim. Everybody hates Musk. Let's pile on while he's still around. He's taking the heat for Trump. They're already pushing him into the background. Podcasters like Rogan and Fox News are happy to have him because he's good for ratings.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

When it comes to protest how about the media blacking out coverage of Trump for a day. No pix. No mention of his name. Given his attempts to control press access there's good reason for doing this. Thoughts?

The resistance needs a leader that can stand up to Trumpism and begin a campaign for the next election now. We can have rallies and make the kind of noise to let Trumpists know they can't steam roll us without any push back. #pushback

Even @wsj.com thinks he's nuts. Can't believe he'll be confirmed.

While I sympathize with the outrage over our so-called health system, I can't get behind calling Luigi Mangione a hero. If he wanted to draw attention to the problem he could have shot and injured him without causing Thompson's death. Then we would have Thompson around to answer for his crimes.

What am I missing here. I don't want an echo chamber. Algorithms don't do well with me. How do I meet the people I dont know I need to meet.

Either way, it's sad.

Or you can read one long form about what you really care about.

Did you know that no matter how hard you curate your stream, you're gonna be reading lots about stuff you do t care anything about. Me, too.
