Computers, famously bad at the thing they're designed specifically to do. If someone in your life parrots this talking point, ask them how they think VISA works. If that same person is into crypto, ask them why this isn't an indictment of that entire concept.

Your regular reminder that the more often you own your mistakes, the easier it gets. It is like any muscle-- work it more and it gets stronger. All people mess up, and sometimes we do so publicly. It's not the end of the world to acknowledge that we missed the mark; it's how we clean up.

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

Some half-baked thoughts on this political moment. We keep wanting to say "We're in unprecedented times," but we're not. Jim Crow wasn't even that long ago. Rule of law is a recent invention in the US. These times are extremely precedented. Take real time to learn abt the Civil Rights movement.

1/ Elon and Donald on Hannity on Fox now. Hannity opens up kinda making fun of Musk for having to pay Trump $10M in a Twitter settlement. Trump says he gave Musk a deal. He was gonna ask a lot more. Musk says he "loves" Trump, was gonna endorse him but the assassination attempt "sped it up."

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

A lot of people now see that Musk is a vile extremist. But many still struggle to accept that he is also an oblivious fool. Once you actually listen to what he has to say about the world, you realize it’s all faux-visionary nonsense layered on top of profound ignorance.
