This is the only angle that does that miracle justice.

CNN = Owned by a right-wing billionaire. CBS = Owned by a right-wing billionaire. FOX = Owned by a right-wing billionaire. WaPo = Owned by a right-wing billionaire. WSJ = Owned by a right-wing billionaire. Ah yes, tell me more about how the mainstream media is “far left.”

Good god this is a crazy interview. Listen as Scott Pelley describes how Bari Weiss wanted journalists at CBS to cover the killing of Renee Good in Minnesota. This is why we can’t have oligarchs running our news outlets, this is absolutely devastating.

Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman shares with Bill Maher a surprising trick to help you fall back asleep when you wake up in the middle of the night. “I can’t promise, but I’m willing to wager… that within five minutes or so, you’ll be back to sleep.”

AI is about to grow dainty little building hands. And when it does, everything changes. @AnthropicAI just dropped a heavy piece on recursive self-improvement (RSI), or AI that can write better versions of *itself* This is a moment. It would be the one-way door where tech stops needing *us* to push it forward.

Megyn Kelly, who endorsed and campaigned for Trump in the 2024 election: “I didn’t expect the corruption to be quite as widespread as it has been. The self-dealing, the lining of his and his family’s pockets. It’s shocking… You look across the board at the Trump family, I’ve never seen a family get so rich off the presidency.”

An easy way to get a team engaged with AI is just to build the thing you are talking about in the meeting during the meeting using Codex or Claude Code. At worst, it fails in ways that can be constructive. At best, you built the thing and the meeting topic shifts forward a month

Warren Buffett, in his first sit-down since stepping down as Berkshire CEO, gave the cleanest indictment of legalized gambling in a decade. He called it a tax cut for the wealthy. The math proves him exactly right. Americans wagered $165 billion at legal sportsbooks in 2025. They lost $16 billion of that. FanDuel pulled $6 billion of the losses. DraftKings pulled $5.3 billion. Every state with legal mobile sports betting collected a tax on the bettor side. New York alone took in over $1.2 billion in 2025 sports betting tax revenue. Layer the lottery on top. State lotteries generate over $90 billion a year. The bottom half of income earners account for roughly 70% of total spend. The average lottery player makes $38,000. A household earning $20,000 spends three times more on tickets than one earning $30,000. The implicit tax rate, meaning whatever the state keeps after prizes, runs 30 to 50% depending on the game. No other revenue source in America has that base and that rate. The structural design is the engine. A single straight sports bet carries a hold of 4 to 5%. A four-leg parlay carries a hold above 30%. FanDuel and DraftKings spent five years rebuilding their apps to make parlays the default product. FanDuel's blended hold rate hit 11.4% in 2025, up from roughly 7% in 2022. The product got worse for the customer and the customer wagered more anyway. Now look at the substitution. Nine US states have no state income tax. Seven of those nine run state lotteries. Seven of those nine have legalized sports betting. The states most committed to never taxing wealth are the same states running the largest extraction machines on people who cannot afford to lose. Read it as policy. Here is what Buffett is actually pointing at. The state needs revenue. It can raise income tax on the top decile, or it can run a lottery plus a sports betting tax. The second option raises the money from the people who can least afford it. The first option becomes politically optional. New York's $1.2 billion in 2025 sports betting tax is $1.2 billion the state did not have to ask of someone earning $5 million. DraftKings and FanDuel sell a privatized collection mechanism for a regressive tax that the state never has to defend at the ballot box again. Voters approve legalization once. Collection runs forever. The state takes a cut. The wealthy get a quieter top bracket. The bettor's cut shrinks every quarter as the parlay menu gets pushed harder. The function of a government, Buffett said, is not to play its people for suckers. Thirty-nine state governments now do.

Saw The Allman Brothers band in NYC 50 years ago … they took an encore at 2am then played until 6am. A memory of a lifetime, obviously. Also met and spoke w Gregg some years back. My absolute favorite band.💙
