All 50 states would block @elonmusk from teaching a high-school physics class because he doesn’t have an arbitrary government-issued "teaching certificate." We’ve got professionals and retirees in all 50 states—engineers who built bridges, pilots who’ve flown across the world, and doctors and nurses who’ve saved lives—who would love to volunteer to teach. Yet they can’t because teachers unions have lobbied to create barriers. State governors should tear down these barriers and invite professionals and retirees into our schools to teach and inspire young Americans.

RIP Charlie Kirk: American patriot, God-fearing warrior, and unyielding voice for freedom. Your light shines eternal in the hearts you ignited.

[Dan Hogberg @danhogberg]

One Charlie Kirk was taken today. Tomorrow there will be millions of him.

This is the greatest argument I’ve heard for why electric vehicles are better than gasoline-powered cars.

This demands insane software dev + hardware infra (like Colossus supercluster). How?!

Just a reminder…
History tells us that ancient folks, sprinkled across continents with no boat exploration to communicate with each other, all somehow agreed to make their lives utterly horrid by quarrying monster-sized stone blocks—some heavy as a house which would require machines we don’t possess today—and dragging them miles over deserts and hills to stack pyramids stupidly tall. Instead of smashing them into sane sizes like every builder since forever, they all caught the same mega-block fever, independently, many centuries before compasses or steam engines and mostly within the era of soft chisels as the peak of technology.

History! We are so smart. 🙄

[Dan Hogberg @danhogberg]

They were so advanced we still aren’t sure how they did it, but not advanced enough to document it anywhere at all at any civilization across all of planet earth. Wow!

[Dan Hogberg @danhogberg]

@LeadingReport They must’ve forgot to empty the recycling bin.

[Dan Hogberg @danhogberg]

How many more people is this party trying to alienate?! Dems need a leader. Let the voters finally choose one. It’ll have been over a decade since they’ve been able to by the next election.

2016 - rigged primaries against Bernie
2020 - rigged primaries against Bernie
2024 - insiders chose their candidate
2028 - LET THE VOTERS DECIDE

[Dan Hogberg @danhogberg]

I could see this coming from individuals, but from the @TheDemocrats party handle?! Sad.

(…and doing it on a distorted image)

I need a phone that has a @grok button built in natively to all my messaging and browsing. It’s great on @X but, everywhere else I go I have to constantly go back and forth and do a lot of copying and pasting. I’d switch phones and platforms for this feature.

And some people think it only takes money… this (sadly) shows that even with all the money, all the people and all the data you can still fall (well) behind.

I want Apple to succeed, but at some point, even as the checks are currently rolling in, there should be accountability for leaving such a valuable business open for disruption (even if it doesn’t happen).

Apple used to at least have a “me too” like product and launch schedule. On something like AI, especially given their potential to be leaders in this space, it seems unconscionable to be in this place.

🙌 Go @DOGE Go! 👏

In a sign of the times, uncovering how taxpayer dollars, OUR money, is being wasted has become politicized.

There are those that are being critical of @DOGE for finding and stopping small budget items, like unused paid Teams licenses, because it’s not a big enough savings relative to the deficit.

This argument baffles me. I’m glad they are getting into the minutia to uncover even thousands of dollars of waste. It lets me know they are leaving no stone unturned. In business, I would not only CELEBRATE someone for that level of thoroughness, but would be looking for it specifically, in order to determine if an assignment was likely to have been given proper diligence.

It’s important to be critical of what our government does, including the @DOGE effort, but arguing with super obvious savings seems very disconnected.

Find every penny… or maybe now it’s every nickel.

🙌 Go @DOGE Go! 👏

[Dan Hogberg @danhogberg]

We’ve got to develop an autoimmune response to politicians that are willing to lie to us so overtly. I don’t care what side of the aisle they sit on. We should not tolerate this level of attempted manipulation even once without voting them out. This should be unacceptable and is closer to standard practice. We deserve better.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Is Donald Trump going to respond to Musk’s email and report on what he did last week?

To help, I’ve gone ahead and done it for him. A thread:

I feel like the AIs are in a similar place to when streaming services first launched. Everybody had like one paid subscription but then month by month you’d cancel one and subscribe to another as each new version (or streaming series) got released.

@RBReich I’m always astonished how people without a billion dollars have such valuable insights on how to make a billion dollars.
