Laid off from the Washington Post, along with the entire roster of Middle East correspondents and our editors. Hard to understand the logic. But I am grateful for my incredible colleagues, whose grit and dedication to the reporting and each other I will miss dearly.
@IneBackIversen Yup. They run a company together. However, this dude’s sons are doing this also as part of the government and getting official welcomes by some interesting governments.
@TiffanyFong_ Interesting fact: they maybe intelligent, but like a pack of humans can be scary too. “Dolphins are violent predators with a predilection for baby killing and rape.” Yup rape.

In 3 to 6 months AI will write about 90% of all code. In about 12 months (1 year!) AI will write 100% of all code.

Closing CFPB means rapidly accelerating the shift to app-based financial platforms with zero consumer protections — no FDIC insurance, no promises your money won’t be used to speculate on crypto like SBF, etc. Horrible idea that only empowers predators from the tech industry.

either the preemptive pardons are struck down, or we just began a new tradition in which every president, upon exiting office, preemptively pardons himself, his family, and everyone he's ever worked with. this creates a new class of american officially immune from law.
@IanCarrollShow Were executive orders signed to release the JFK, Robert Kennedy and MLK files?
Will #MAGA get to see all the executive orders signed to date? Not sure some of them were announced before or after their signing.
Increasingly rude behavior on airplanes, road rage, yelling at wait staff, etc. seems to be on the rise still alongside politicians refusing to concede, shake hands w/opponents, practice basic civility. It's a general societal decline in decency that should not be celebrated.
