@ColinCorgi Glad you’re having fun, dog dad 😆

We’ve made childhood safer and more comfortable than ever, then made parenting feel harder by trying to manage every minute of it. Maybe the problem isn’t that kids need more from their parents. Maybe we’ve forgotten how much they can do for themselves.

[Freedomain - with Stefan Molyneux, MA @StefanMolyneux]

It has literally never been easier to raise children, and nowhere in history do people complain more about raising children.

Maybe $2B settled or cut on appeal and years from now.

Maybe $5B if Meta pays up to kill the copycat template before other states file.

Windfalls are the worst-spent money in government. Will be spent politically, fast, with no return test at all.

Bureaucracy’s favorite trick: take money from the highest-return capital allocators in the economy and blow it on buying votes.

Being 10x more involved with your kid than your parents ever were with you, while somehow feeling 100x more guilty about falling short, is the official millennial parenting experience.

@StefanMolyneux Children raise themselves for the most part, but we've never been more brainwashed into thinking otherwise.

@SAnocibar Ok, maybe I’ll reach out for La Historia if it somehow ended up in my stash and I’ve already had 5 cigars that day.

The policy shop is being retooled from content politics to industrial policy.

@JSymon86 @HedgeyeComm Overly simplified - $META is about to be an Anthropic but with an ads business that prints.

I think the IPO absolutely has a real-world implications.

[The Well-Dressed Skeptic @DressedSkeptic]

@JSymon86 @HedgeyeComm Especially if Anthropic IPOs anywhere close to 2 trillion.

@Cernovich @RandRCigars Yeah, no shit 😜

🇪🇺 Goodbye, Starlink.

Telefónica, Orange, Vodafone and Deutsche Telekom have agreed to explore a joint European satellite initiative.

The goal is to compete with Elon Musk's Starlink and reduce dependence on US infrastructure.

From satellite networks to military technology, Europe must eliminate its dependencies on the United States.

An EU Security Council, coordinated military budgets and a European NATO are steps towards Europe's future.

We are beginning to understand that we must be independent and sovereign.

This has got to be a clickbait

It’s overrated.

@adamtaggart @IslamIsRadical Adam, people who are broke and desperate have nothing to lose. Or at least that’s what they think.

The first two “new deals” got us into this massive government takeover of everything but, of course, we need a third one 🤣

[Ro Khanna @RoKhanna]

From the high schools of France to the streets of Madrid to the universities of Tirana, young people are telling their governments the same thing: in an age of massive wealth inequality, they want a future they can believe in.

In France, students and teachers are asking for safe schools, enough teachers and smaller classes.

In Spain, for affordable rent and housing.

In Albania, for good jobs and an end to corruption.

@JDVance says this is what happens when a nation lets in too many immigrants from the global south.

He is not just morally wrong, but misreading the moment.

The is what happens when nations let wealth and power accumulate in the hands of a few.

This is what happens when young people lose hope in their future.

In America, let us listen to our young.

We need an economic and political transformation.

America's Next New Deal.
