I just personally donated $1m (mostly #ETH) to @realDonaldTrump. For too long, the crypto industry has been under attack by Elizabeth Warren, Gary Gensler and others. Despite overwhelming bipartisan Congressional efforts to put clear rules in place, the Biden White House has stood by and allowed a campaign of unchecked regulation by enforcement. This approach is diminishing US competitiveness as other major economies around the world advance clear rules to regulate digital assets. I am excited to join other leaders from our community to unite behind the only pro-crypto major party candidate in the 2024 Presidential election so the United States can continue to remain a leader in blockchain technology. #freeross

Sorry about your monopoly. Thank you @SenLummis, @GovernorGordon, the great state of Wyoming and @CaitlinLong_. Well done, @arjunsethi and the @krakenfx team. The end is the beginning is the end. We're the bankers now. Saddle up. 🤠🇺🇸🚀

You're never going to play your backlogged video games, anon. You think you will, but you won't. You've collected them all. You own every game ever made. You have the Steam Deck. It's all there. It's waiting. But you won't play them. You can, but you never will. You won't go back

Sitting at a cafe. Looked over and observed a fellow Excel user. She has the calculator app open on her iPhone. She's doing math on the calculator and typing the numbers into the spreadsheet. Trying not to stare. Another table opens up and she moves. Relief.

We are deeply saddened at the news of the passing of Magic legend Kai Budde. His achievements in the game and community go beyond what we could say in one post. Our thoughts go out to Kai's friends and family in this moment. Remembering Kai Budde: magic.wizards.com/en/news/an…

Yes. You cannot rape people at gun point even with “just the tip” or whatever you think a patriot should be able to handle. You can’t be trusted after even suggesting it. Wealth confiscation is fundamentally different from income tax. It’s not “cultural differences”. Get help.
KHANNA: “You're saying to me … with a 1% tax on wealth that people are going to leave? Come on, have some more patriotism.” RYAN: “Scott Bessent said yesterday there's ~$600 BILLION in fraud … Don't you think we might want to get a handle on that before we tax everybody more?”

Family of 4 making < $230k in SF? There are no legit qualifying families. That is absolute poverty in SF and these families live elsewhere. So, who is this for? Is there a citizenship test? Where is this “free” money coming from? Have we audited the existing handouts?
Today, I am excited to announce our Family Opportunity Agenda. We are going to be relentless in our drive to make our city more affordable for families in San Francisco. Starting this month, a family of four making less than $230,000 a year will qualify for free child care at hundreds of high quality providers across the city. And by this fall, those earning up to $310,000 a year will receive a 50% subsidy. Our plan also expands opportunities for our students. In partnership with SFUSD, we’re launching a new pilot that allows high school students to earn associate degrees or industry certifications at City College—with a guaranteed transfer to SF State University. This will help them become nurses, police officers, Pre-K teachers, auto technicians, chefs, and more. We’re committed to making San Francisco a place where families can stay, grow, and build their future. This is just the beginning. Let’s go, San Francisco.

Can we White Hat Rescue all this fraud/waste? Does getting the money require making false representations or does it simply require that nobody ask the questions in the first place? Like, is it illegal or are they just "code is law" maxxing?

A 5% theft of unrealized gains and assets taxes were already paid on is about the most retarded thing I've ever heard. I promise you this will be the final straw. Billionaires will take with them all of their spending, hobbies, philanthropy and jobs. Solve the waste/fraud issue.

Peter Thiel is leaving California if we pass a 1% tax on billionaires for 5 years to pay for healthcare for the working class facing steep Medicaid cuts. I echo what FDR said with sarcasm of economic royalists when they threatened to leave, "I will miss them very much."
Community note
The proposed ballot proposition actually imposes a minimum of 5% (not 1% per post) one time tax on billionaires, even on unrealized gains. oag.ca.gov/system/files/i…

I’ve never felt this much behind as human, still prompting other humans on my own like a goddamn caveman.
I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.

Horrific but we don't ask these questions in sanctuary cities.
1) Who brings a pit bull into a crowded place? 2) Who brings a pit bull into a crowded place, when he can't control it? This happened near Union Square, earlier today.

In the 90’s I took my gf to a @wizards_magic tournament. She walked into the room of 500 dudes, said “what’s that smell?”, did the fastest about face I’ve ever seen and walked out. Of course, it was the smell of Magic greatness, and it’s why no woman has won a Pro Tour.
