“Okay I drew two Dalmatians. Are we set?” “Brother, not even close.”

Despite some bogus grants, a lot of government is like this cartoon. I bet this "small team" would find a line item for "screwworm sterilization" and delete it, not knowing that they just devastated American farming: theatlantic.com/science/arch…

.@nikitabier what is the value of this ubiqituois monetization engagement bait BS?

A few ancient airframes: ±$100 million Reminding your troops and the entire world that “no man left behind” isn’t just a slogan, and that you can do things nobody else can even dream of: priceless.

Just an endless amount of this shit. Why @nikitabier, why?!

Things you say when you definitely spend a lot of time around your kids

Elon, Andreesen, Sacks, Ackman, Chamath, Vivek, on and on, I remember when for all these guys it was critical to elect Trump because our national debt was a crisis and existential threat to the future of America only he would tackle. Don’t hear so much about that anymore.

There’s an endless amount of this slop, much of it AI, from foreign accounts pretending to be American. Wish @nikitabier would nuke it.

I generally think billionaire businesspeople are very smart and that it’s cope when people on the left act like their success was arbitrary. But I make an exception for Bill Ackman.

THE UNBRIDLED GREATNESS OF TRAINS WILL ENDURE FOR A MILLION YEARS

FYI followers, we do "very little business with them" but they do "a tremendous amount of business with us"

If it can be programmed to make you want to have babies, it can be programmed to make you want or feel anything else its programmers desire. Seems like that’s a concern worth taking seriously.

Has anyone compared the 90-day pause “art of the deal” it was just a negotiating ploy to Kyiv was a feint? Some interesting parallels….

Just to summarize what’s happened in the last few weeks: They concocted this whole thing based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the global economy. They think manufacturing jobs will come back (they won’t). They think free trade made us poor, when it actually made us rich. They think the current account deficit is unsustainable when it’s a rounding error in our aggregate net worth and also accretive to our net worth. They think being the reserve currency is bad when it’s a sign that everyone wants to do business with us. And they think poor foreigners were taking advantage of us when we’re the richest economy in human history. And to "fix" all of these "problems" they implemented the one policy idea that almost every economist alive says is bad. And then when they implemented that idea they misunderstood the math behind the rationale and came up with numbers that were irrationally huge. So they had to backpedal. And when bond yields moved a tiny bit higher they panicked and "fixed" all of this by making the numbers slightly smaller, but they clearly hadn't done the math again because the numbers are still way bigger than any economist would ever recommend they be. Then they patted themselves on the back because of intraday moves in stocks while an economic hurricane continues to barrel towards us because they have no idea what they’re doing. Amazing stuff.

So what is China doing right now? Any insights into the playbook (not what they could do, or you would do in their situation, but reporting on their actual playbook / what they've been doing behind the scenes the last couple of weeks)?

True 1000x engineer!

How to save $8 billion and own the libs: Step 1: Claw back $8 million from a service-disabled veteran owned business Step 2: Pretend it was $8 billion We save 2 cents per American toward a tax cut that will cost $14k per American. Everyone's happy (except the disabled vets...)

you do NOT say “jury nullification”

Trump casually undoing decades of official diplomacy with allies (tariffs, threats, etc) *and* dismantling decades of intelligence work and soft powers If you're an "anti-imperialist", you gotta be celebrating ... like is this reality lol??
