Oregon-based media guy. I’ve spent the last three decades recording audio, taking pictures, and drinking lots of coffee.

@StockTrader_Max Errrrrhhh… I care.

Why?

Because poor communication and poor marketing reflects badly on the ability of a company to operate strategically. There’s also the whole “read the room” factor.

Perhaps the mother of all deals is on stand by.

Here’s hoping they don’t f@%k it up.

@MattWalshBlog If a pregnant woman in labor can sprint from Guatemala to the U.S. border, then not only should her baby received citizenship, but she should also be evaluated and scouted by major universities and their coaching staff as a recruited athlete.

@mikealfred Serious question with regard to IREN: how does the sponsorship deal with the Golden State Warriors do anything at all to “create the conditions for the multi-week July rip we’ve seen for the last few years?” Is this an attempt to get everyone scared and offsides?

[Mister Monroe @MatthewGMonroe]

@IREN_Ltd I honestly can’t tell if this is brilliant or the dumbest financial/marketing decision I’ve ever seen.

@CBSNews Sounds like this guy could be in a heap of trouble!

@JDVance Hey!

@Cernovich @Selkis_2028 Once again, solid proof that conspiracy theories are the means by which stupid people make sense of a world they aren’t cognitively able to understand.

@AlexGodofsky One of MAGA’s key principles – true since Trump first oozed down the escalator steps – is the simple idea that “attention creates influence.” Everything Trump and team does is designed to create attention.

Miller getting ratioed by the DNC brings attention back to the Democrats.

@edzitron If I worked at a company where A.I. was being put in place to possibly take over my job (resulting in my eventually getting laid off), I would do everything in my powers to run up compute costs and demonstrate to management how efficient and beneficial humans are to the business.

@a16z If Flock is so friggin’ fantastic, why not mandate they be put inside people’s homes? This is the next logical step, if the goal is to “have the ability to solve crimes and stop crimes,” right?

I look forward to Mr. Andreessen’s announcement that his house is “Fully Flocked.”

To all who celebrate, I wish you a joyous Leopold Aschenbrenner Day.

@pineconemacro Hey, Chase, you or Zach need to reload today’s podcast. The audio stops completely at the two minute and twenty second mark. This is true on YouTube, Apple Podcast player, etc…

@PeteHegseth @DeptofWar Not to point out the obvious here, but if what was said by the Captain was false, then he didn’t release any classified information.

But if you, Secretary Kegsbreath, assert that the information was false, then you – by default – ARE putting out classified info.

@MoundLore Looks like an overhead view of Russell Battery, out at Fort Stevens.

@JamesSurowiecki The action here by the DOJ is not being done to make Trump happy.

Well, maybe just a little bit...

The action here by the DOJ is being done to frighten people – anyone and everyone – into never criticizing Trump, otherwise (expensive) legal action could follow.

@mikealfred Limit order at $.03 just placed.

@stevenstrogatz Donald has a degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. This would seem to indicate that he’d attended a math class or two. But as facts stand, there’s nothing to indicate that he actually received a passing grade in any class requiring math skills.

@paulg Watching all of Trump’s lackeys willingly go their daily humiliation rituals is one of the most depressing things ever.

Anyways… We’re now at the “2+2=5” point with this administration. It won’t be long before we reach the “Oceana has always been at war with Eastasia” portion.

@pmarca @grok I’m a bit confused…

Over the course of 9 years the SPLC paid about $3 million to informants within various hate groups, and the information gained led to guilty verdicts and court ordered penalties of more than $40 million dollar against these groups.

How is this a bad thing?

[Mister Monroe @MatthewGMonroe]

@waitbutwhy Serious question: how is this an example of someone going against their principles while still supporting the team?

The SPLC paid informants $3 million over the course of 9 years, and used the information to win verdicts/settlements of more than $40 million.

And is this bad?
