I have an idea for you. Get a bunch of Dem donors to buy or lease or take over a small hospital. Plenty are close to going out of business. Have it charge ONLY MEDICARE RATES. For everything. Be completely transparent with every penny you spend so everyone can see what it truly costs to run a small hospital. See if you can make it work. See what services you can offer. Do not ask for any government subsidies. It has to operate at least to break even. There are some hospitals that already do this. It wouldn’t be unique. If it works out, you can buy another one. Then another one. Till you have a network. I’ll help where I can. And for those asking the inevitable, I have tried. As I posted earlier, they all ghosted me after learning how transparent I wanted to be.

Me waiting for Fable 5 to reincarnate.

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees. The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance. Access to all other Claude models is not affected. We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

And CA, WA and other states which allow vote-by-witness attestation MUST: 1) Release the total count of votes cast by witness attestation. They can and should do that today. Legislators like you should demand it. 2) The natural rate of vote by attestation SHOULD be about 0.1%-0.4%. Is it in that range? Great! That eliminates one plausible hypothesis of voter fraud, and no personally identifiable information has to be shared to do so. What say you, @RoKhanna, will you call for publication of this data?

Me trying to figure out how votes get counted in LA

One more I forgot until just reminded: 3. Khosla Ventures wanted to invest in our Series C. Vinod took me, Michelle, and Lee out to dinner after he’d given us a term sheet. Near the end, Michelle and Lee got up to use the restroom. Vinod leaned over and said: “I’m impressed with you, not so much with them, what if you fire them and I’ll give you all their stock?” I think the charitable read was it was a test of my character. But I was so offended that we never spoke again. Literally blocked his number.

You haven't answered my question. It was a simple yes/no question. If you start a company that grows really fast and your stock becomes valuable as a result, is that hoarding wealth?

Hey @seattletimes and reporters for Seattle Times that I follow/follow me. I know of a REALLY strange situation going on at a Seattle area public school. Can someone DM me ASAP and I'll share receipts and explain what is happening - and see if this is something you want to cover? I think it's interesting a/ because it's impacting a bunch of kids, b/ they are not sharing appropriately with parents, students, or kids, and c/ this is setting up to be a waste of money with a principle that will be paid for a year and unable to work. @educationlab too.

Why don’t Asians commit crimes? By any metric, East Asians – at home or as immigrants – commit crime at rates far below other ethnicities. Even when they’re poor.

Markdown vs HTML. Every time we go from a semantically dense to a semantically sparse format, we lose. Even more today where less tokens from the same content is way better. I can understand we need a better markdown. I can't understand we should replace it with HTML.

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30 smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000 will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

I don't think anyone should attend Web Summit

"Marc, why do you care about SPLC's crimes & other activists/companies/gov't agencies who may have done the same/complicit?" I sat in so many meetings for a DECADE where these groups determined who got cancelled/debanked/censored. Wholly un-American. People need to go to jail.

If the SPLC (!) was funding the hate groups they claimed to be fighting, what does this suggest re the rest of the censorship/debanking complex of the last decade?
