This chilling video says it all, and feels like an appropriate note to end my Twitter/X account on.

I've decided to pause my engagement on Twitter/X/whatever - for reasons that are no doubt obvious and so I won't labor them here.
I am currently reevaluating my social media strategy generally, but you can follow me at insta/dotBen_ for random shits and giggles if you like.

.@aspec00 is great founder and expert in startup operations.
If you are a founder who should be focusing on building and selling, check out Chore (fka Levy)

What’s the ONE thing holding your startup back from thriving?
❌ It’s not your product.
❌It’s not your vision.
✅ It’s the chore of running your business.

Founders: don't raise money right now. Pause your efforts, come back in 2 weeks.
Most firms give staff the time off and aren't going to run a fire drill for you.
Also negative selection bias: typically only poor quality companies and poor quality firms are in market right now.

Men of class /s
RFK actually called out Trump on junk food and said it was poison (see link). V surprised to see he is about to eat that shit AND has a coke.
These people are hypocrites.

Yep, well, that's me (to be clear - I didn't vote because I'm not a US Citizen but I donated and supported Harris).
I think the Dem's have a flawed retail offer but I don't think Trump will bring in the benefits to hard working people that they think he will.

I can't stop thinking about how all these wealthy liberal elites voted, in their mind, for "the working class" - yet then woke up to a shock that the working class people voted the other way.
It's just astounding.

Surprisingly this isn't illegal. It should be and it's highly unethical.
And imagine the outrage if Bill Gates or George Soros made the exact same offer (to Democrats).

Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, David Sacks and JD Vance (who is long time mentored by Peter Thiel) will control AI and Crypto legislation if Trump wins.
Trump has no personal view or vision on these topics, nor does it detract from his own desire to be POTUS.
Is that good or bad?

To be very clear - I am very worried for society more broadly about Trump winning, I've donated to Kamala Harris.
My question is solely as it pertains to AI and Crypto assuming the American public in their wisdom decide to return Trump to the White House.

Never used weed or any drugs ever in my life (people find that hard to believe, it's true!)
But lets just get on and legalize marijuana (and most other drugs) and remove the criminal element.
The war on drugs failed.

No one should go to jail for smoking weed.

Drugs
Abortion
Marriage
Freedom is about giving people the autonomy to do what they want within the boundaries of civil society. Educate them about those decisions, tax them on those decisions (drugs), but let them decide what they do with their bodies.

This has to be one of the most impressive technology demonstrations of recent times.
I don’t even think the ‘chop sticks’ actually grabbed the rocket (ie pinched it), from the video it looked like it positioned itself into a 2-3ft tolerance landing zone on the arms.
