Tip for next time: it would have been better if you’d said, “you’re an idiot.” 👍

@estherk_k “men are the problem, not transwomen” - it’s so close but so far away, isn’t it

techbro iq/reading comprehension shocker from @Chamath here.

@GretaThunberg may or may not be right, but her statement is not falsified: she states no timeframe within which climate change will wipe humanity out.

It is just that, on her theory, the die is now cast.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

Wow. Nailed it. 🤡

There’s so much emotional hand wringing and alarmism over climate change when the most prudent way to view it is through the lens of national security.

Show me a war involving the West over the past 50 years and I’ll show you a fight, directly or indirectly, over natural resources, namely oil.

The most important thing we are doing right now for our national security is getting to energy independence through solar and wind. And the biggest dividend it will pay will be in terms of peace. We will have abundant, near-cost less, renewable, carbon free energy within the decade. And stop getting entangled in wars near and abroad because of it.

The climate will be saved as well but it will be as a byproduct to the economically and socially sensible thing to do. In fact, more laws have positively impacted the fight against climate change by explicitly not mentioning climate change! BIL, CHIPS Act, IRA == Infrastructure Bill, Microchips, Inflation Reduction Act.

This may upset some folks who want to martyrize climate change but they should get over it and move on.

So much "work" isn't what people who know what Discord is, and think Poetry should rhyme, think it is.

Work is the crap between what matters.

“I’ll tell you the lessons learned here when this thing is out of litigation,” Dimon said Friday on a conference call to discuss fourth-quarter earnings.

If JPM wasting more money suing a 27year old, it sounds like it hasn’t learned any lessons at all.

If Boris Johnson became PM again, given the views of many Tory MPs, this is what I'd be tempted to say if I was Keir Starmer or Ed Davey: "The PM is not fit for office. Nor is the Tory Party. We know that many honourable Tory MPs feel the same way. Now is the time for...' 1/

@isyourdogtiedup You bet. Looking forward to it

No promises about the next book! I see a James Bond-esque 60 year franchise

@isyourdogtiedup Brilliant. I need to catch you with your blog to find out how you got them from Montenegro to Mexico. Hopefully chased by Kosovan warlords the whole way.
