Everything about the Left is fake.

Once you understand it, everything makes sense.

>Eat the rich... from your mansion
>Save the planet... from your private jet
>Everyone is racist... while you fund the racism.
>Billionaires are evil... unless you fund our candidates.
>Words are violence... but my violence is actually speech

>Wrong pronouns are assault... but burning a courthouse in a protest is mostly peaceful

>We love immigrants... unless you send them to Martha's Vineyard then we call ICE too

>Democracy is sacred... unless we lose, then it was stolen by Russia, misinformation, or Elon

>Diversity is our strength... unless you're a Black conservative, then you're a race traitor who needs to be destroyed

>Tax the wealthy... while your foundation, your trust, and your three LLCs are structured specifically to avoid paying a dime of it

>Capitalism is oppression... posted from an iPhone, on a platform worth a trillion dollars, while wearing merch sold through the your merch store linked in your bio

It's all fake, it's all performative and should be endlessly mocked into oblivion.

Give them zero comfort.

The doctrine is always designed so the cost lands on someone else.

The cashier pays for your protest. The suburban parents pays for your sanctuary city. The trade school kid pays for your student loan forgiveness. The taxpayer pays for your foundation's tax shelter. The working mom pays for your gas stove ban. The factory town pays for your Green New Deal. The girl on the swim team pays for your pronouns. The cop's widow pays for your bail reform.

It's a massive, evil, cost-transfer operation that pretends the evil they are pushing, is moral.

...and it's just evil

@JesterJum I’ve been using Bifen I/T (sold under Talstar) from Tractor supply for 25 years, a quart lasts forever it’s 1oz:gal and it doesn’t smell. Doesn’t hurt people or pets

[Georgi Gamecock @But0why0Bitcoin]

@JesterJum I use Tal-Star (Bifenthrin). Safe for pets after it dries. Don’t need it monthly, it’s good for 3 months I believe. I go longer than that.

If I start seeing bugs, I spray. Takes 5 minutes.

Social skills folks. In this economy, being a nice guy who can smile and say nice things and make people feel smart, goes a long way. Being a pedantic little logic goblin is OUT.

My buddy, nontechnical, went all in on AI from the start. He's now Chief AI Officer at his company, and has convinced them to buy him a Blackwell GPU ($15k) to run local agent workflows.

And here I am, a decade into a career in ML, begging my CTO for more training budget.

High testosterone maxxing starter pack:

- Deep Sleep (fixed circadian rhythm)
- Wake with sunlight (fix cortisol)
- Eat nutrient-dense carbs (fuel thyroid)
- Lift heavy + sprint (high ATP)
- Get your minerals (Mg, K, Na)
- Breathe through your nose (CO₂ = O₂ efficiency

Anthropic is questioning whether AI may turn out to be altogether useless. This is the single most honest thing Anthropic has ever written.

“But achieving recursive improvement alone does not suggest an immediate change in how industrial production occurs, societies organize, or markets function. More intelligence can’t learn what a drug does over decades of use, can’t hold elections sooner than a constitution dictates, and can’t turn a stranger into an old friend in a weekend. For most people, the felt pace of this future will still be set by the bottlenecks, even if the laboratory upstream runs at the speed of compute. That collision, where recursive intelligence building itself ever faster meets the world of humans, relationships, and governance, is another part of this future we can’t predict.”

Elon Musk: "America cannot win on the human front. China has 4x our population and higher work ethic"

"It's not just that there's four times the population, but the amount of work that people put in is higher"

"A pro sports team that's been winning for a very long time tends to get complacent and entitled. That's why they stop winning, because they don't work as hard anymore"

"Frankly, America has been winning for so long that... that's my observation"

"The US birth rate's been below replacement since roughly 1971"

"We're close to more people domestically dying than being born"

"We definitely can't win on the human front"

"But if you start getting to hundreds of millions of units a year of humanoid robots, you're going to be the most competitive country by far"

"we can't win with just humans, because China has four times our population"

"but we might have a shot at the robot front"

Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor.

It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. https://t.co/OVVPJO7VQx

[Alex Albert @alexalbert__]

We just published internal data on how much of Claude's development is already being done by Claude:
- Over 80% of all code merged into our codebase is now written by Claude
- It's been months since many researchers at Anthropic hand-wrote code
- The typical Anthropic engineer ships 8x as much code as they did in 2024
- On the most open-ended engineering tasks, Claude's success rate jumped from ~26% to 76% in 6 months
- When research sessions went off-track, Claude proposed a better next step than the human took 64% of the time

We're not at recursive self-improvement yet, but it could come sooner than most expect. I highly recommend reading the full blog post.

High cortisol is the real reason your anxiety won't lift.

It also breaks sleep, kills digestion, burns adrenals, and shrinks your prefrontal cortex.

Here are 8 ways to drop cortisol and end the alarm:

1. Cold plunge 1-3 minutes, 3x/week.

just look at the timeline chad

- demis hassabis, deepmind → isomorphic labs, $2.7B
- brian, coinbase → newlimit, $3.1B
- sama, openai → retro biosciences, $1.2B
- jeff the chad from amazon → altos labs, $3B
- larry, oracle → $430M into aging research
- jensen from nvidia → backing programmable biology
- dario, anthropic → acquired coefficient bio, $400M

the most successful builders of the digital age are all being pulled toward the next biggest frontier, biology

aging is basically an engineering challenge

I spoke with a member of the technical staff at Anthropic yesterday who is about to make $17 million.

He's been there less than 2.5 years and is blown away by his equity value. His biggest worry now is tax strategy.

His CPA told him to "max out his 401(k) and consider a donor-advised fund."

While that's a great starting point, here's what makes even more sense:

He's acquiring a 48 unit apartment complex in Phoenix for $14.5 million.

We're running a cost segregation study to reclassify approximately 30% of the depreciable basis into 5, 7, and 15 year property.

Here's the math:
• $14.5M purchase price
• ~$12.3M depreciable basis (excluding land)
• ~$3.7M reclassified to short-life assets via cost seg
• 100% bonus depreciation under OBBBA = $3.7M accelerated to Year 1
Plus standard Year 1 depreciation on the remaining basis adds another ~$315K.

Total Year 1 deduction: approximately 4M.

His wife is qualifying as a real estate professional 750+ hours, more time than any other activity. The loss is no longer passive. It offsets ordinary income.

At a 37% federal bracket plus 13.3% California, that's a combined rate just over 50%.

$4M × 50% = 2M+ in tax savings. Year 1.

Layer in operating expenses, loan interest, and startup costs on the property, the total offset against his Anthropic income crosses $3 million.
Not deferred. Not spread over 27.5 years.

Meanwhile, the property cash flows. He's converted concentrated tech stock into a real asset producing monthly income. And he's done it all before he files the return on his equity windfall.

This is what real tax planning looks like for tech liquidity.

If you're an engineer, exec, or early employee sitting on a meaningful equity position and your CPA hasn't mentioned cost segregation, bonus depreciation, or REPS qualification, you're probably leaving seven figures on the table.

There are 12 venture-backed companies that raised >$3B in private markets and then listed in the US.

Only one that has a positive return today, relative to the S&P 500's performance over the same period.

Most are deeply negative (aggregate -117%).

Only two that were positive at lockup expiry, neither stayed that way.

The high cost of private capital means the companies that raise the most, and stay private longer, are almost inevitably overvalued as insiders raise the price of funding events aggressively to stay NPV positive.
