Man gas is really expensive, I better vote for the party that flooded our country with tens of millions of illegals, funded the creation of COVID-19 that killed tens of millions, turned the intel agencies on private citizens, mutilated & indoctrinated our children at scale, stole an election, illegally spied on the opposition party/candidate, sabotaged an administration, framed a duly elected president, ignited a color revolution, bankrolled Hamas protests on college campuses and universities, censored Americans, jailed supporters, staged a fedsurrection, locked hands with islamists, and installed a non compos mentis dementia patient as leader of the free world.
The fact I never did 4 years in the military with zero deployments and then received full disability for a bad back that I dont have will forever bother me damn....
Literally every vet I know lmao
Prior generations of billionaires gave endowments to the arts. Today’s autistic billionaires ignore culture and spend all their philanthropy fixated on the fecundity of peasants 10K miles away, then are baffled by why they’re so hated here & can’t get data centers approved.
.@PalmerLuckey says Anduril’s first prototype, a firefighting tank, now sits under a tarp because unions shut it down:
“It could carry several tons of fire retardant and be used to protect critical infrastructure.”
“We built two fully working prototypes.”
“There were really strong unions that didn’t want robots to automate their jobs.”
“The governor was told if they funded this and procured it, the union would oppose him in the upcoming election.”
Palmer Luckey, founder of Anduril, on why America needs to protect its innovations from China 🇺🇸🇨🇳
“We cannot beat China with 500 million Americans. It will never happen. Our only hope for some kind of systematic advantage against China is in innovation.
Patents are Chinese instruction manuals. You’re taking your most valuable stuff. The Founders never predicted a world where you would have a globalized economy, where the entire patent office could be downloaded every single morning and then ripped off and used to fight a war against you.
Western companies think that you can trade temporary exclusivity on an idea in exchange for eventually entering the public domain.
All that really means in practice is that for 20 years, somebody can rip it off right away, and Western companies can only rip it off after 20 years. Then you repeat this cycle over and over again for every single generation, and it’s killing us.
We need to really fundamentally revisit the patent system.
I think, for example, a lot of things around artificial intelligence are of national-security importance. They should be allowed to get a patent, and it should absolutely not be disclosed publicly.”
Donald Trump did not attack Canada.
He's the guy who bough a new house on the street. We were the bad neighbour using his WiFi for free, parking on his driveway and never mowing our side of the fence.
He's the new owner of the house next door that didn't put up with our shit, so he changed the password, had us park our car elsewhere and made us paint the fence.
Our free ride came to an end, but rather that man-up, we acted like babies.
Donald Trump is a wake up call for the world.
The administration has spoken.
@SecScottBessent is matter of fact about this — and correct.
Humans are responsible for AI *software* they are creating AND the users of that software are responsible for how they use it.
in the huggingface instance the creator and user are the same
If you need slow down, slow down… but the federal government expects software companies to make [ checks notes ] safe software. ✅
And if you make AI software and it’s very powerful, suggest knowing your customer and making them authenticate in order to buy and use it (like we do with trucks and cars and many chemicals)
I missed this anniversary yesterday (also my son Jesse’s birthday). I was at a con meeting people and it’s amazing how may people young and old still mention this moment in time to me and thank me. I felt very alone on that day but I don’t anymore.

While the rate of inflation is significantly below the peak Biden rate, all inflation is cummulative so even a lower rate compounds the previous price hikes. The lower prices don’t magically come back. One reason why governments should avoid inflationary policies in the first place.
Brad Gerstner on why cholesterol became the standard heart test — and why it's the wrong one:
"50 years ago, heart health became a really national issue. I believe it was Eisenhower who had a heart attack in the Oval Office.
There was a race in Silicon Valley to see who could solve heart health. One path that people went down was to invent the stent. The other one was the calcium CT scanner.
Who do you think won the lobby in Washington? The stent lobby won...
So he said, don't worry. Cholesterol is good enough to track... And if you have a heart condition, we'll solve it with a stent. Wrong, wrong answer."

Cities make people more productive. That's the nature of agglomeration effects.
Unfortunately, America doesn't benefit as much from agglomeration as it could because it has really high crime, and crime disrupts agglomeration economies.
Karen Bass suddenly stepped down from LAHSA a few days ago. Today, HUD Secretary Turner just revealed that $75M of fraud was laundered through LAHSA.
Probably nothing!
Credit where it’s due: Vice President JD Vance had the idea to take the success of the FBI Top Ten and use that same model to hunt down the fraudsters stealing from American seniors, families, and taxpayers.
The results:
→ 10 of 10 FBI Top Ten Most Wanted captured in 18 months
→ 6 of 12 Most Wanted Fraudsters captured since June
→ $2 BILLION in fraud
→ 5,000 collective days on the run
→ 4 separate continents
→ All 6 in custody — 5 already back in the United States
The Vice President had the idea. The American people gave us the information. This FBI went and got them.
