[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

A young woman named MacKenzie Tuttle graduated from Princeton in 1992 with a degree in English. One of her professors was Toni Morrison, who later described her as one of the finest creative writing students she had ever taught.

After graduation, MacKenzie took a job at the New York investment firm D. E. Shaw. There she met a colleague named Jeff Bezos, who had an ambitious idea: selling books on the internet.

She didn’t laugh at the idea.

They married in 1993, and the following year drove across the country to the Seattle area to build what would become Amazon.

In the beginning, there was no global empire.

There was a garage.

MacKenzie handled accounting, wrote business materials, answered customer emails and phone calls, and packed orders alongside Jeff. Like many startups, everyone did whatever needed to be done.

As Amazon grew, MacKenzie stepped away from day-to-day operations to raise their four children while continuing to pursue her own passion for writing.

Her debut novel, The Testing of Luther Albright, won the American Book Award. She later published a second novel and quietly built a respected literary career.

Meanwhile, the story of Amazon became one of the most famous business stories ever told.

Jeff Bezos became one of the world’s most recognizable entrepreneurs.

MacKenzie’s role was rarely part of the public narrative.

She never seemed interested in changing that.

What many people don’t know is that she also knew financial hardship.

Her family filed for bankruptcy while she was still a student, and she has spoken about the kindness of people who helped her through difficult times—acts of generosity she never forgot.

In 2019, after her divorce, MacKenzie Scott received approximately 4% of Amazon’s shares.

Almost immediately, she made a decision that surprised the world.

She signed the Giving Pledge, promising to donate the majority of her wealth during her lifetime.

Then she did something even more unusual.

Instead of building a massive public foundation or attaching her name to buildings, she began giving away billions of dollars through large, unrestricted grants.

Universities.

Food banks.

Housing organizations.

Rural communities.

Women’s health initiatives.

Tribal colleges.

Climate organizations.

Small nonprofits that had never imagined receiving gifts of that size.

Many recipients reportedly thought the phone calls were scams.

They weren’t.

Since 2019, MacKenzie Scott has donated tens of billions of dollars to thousands of organizations, making her one of the most significant philanthropists of the modern era.

Despite giving away enormous sums, her fortune has remained substantial because of Amazon’s continued growth.

The woman who once packed Amazon’s first orders is now helping fund opportunities for millions of people she will probably never meet.

She never asked for buildings in her name.

She never demanded headlines.

Sometimes the greatest legacy isn’t the company you help build.

It’s what you choose to do with the success that follows.

We actually need a “Not interested, this is AI” button or a proper AI blocker. The algorithm needs to learn how badly most people don’t want AI slop.

This is the guy MAGA and Trump are spending all of their energy trying to make voters fear.

It isn’t working.

BREAKING: @AOC just introduced the AI Data Center Moratorium Act in the House.

The bill would ban the construction of data centers until Congress addresses the economic, environmental, and safety impacts of AI.

People struggling to pay bills are cheering on the president and his allies become richer at their expense.

All because he claims to hate the same people they do.

Culture war is powerful, and awful.

Not content to controlling our economy and our political system, the Oligarchs are now consolidating control over the media.

Trump’s ally David Ellison is poised to control both CBS and CNN.

Not acceptable. This merger must be opposed.

[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

Really Retro. Who did I sell access too? Show me one legitimate shred of evidence I sold access. But even if you believe all the BS about me, how is it your okay with this:
Don Jr. is a partner in a venture firm whose companies pulled more than $735 million in federal contracts in a single year. One, a tiny magnet startup, landed a $620 million Pentagon loan, the largest that office had ever made, months after his firm bought in. Its valuation went from $200 million to $2 billion.
Eric is a strategic investor in an Israeli drone maker going public at $1.5 billion. Drones the Pentagon buys. For the war their father runs.
And Don Jr. opened a private club in Washington. To join: $500,000.
