“Systemic racism” is the witch of the 21st century.

No one can show it to you. No one can measure it. They can only say that there are certain outcomes which prove that it must exist. And that non-believers are obviously guilty of it and must be punished.

[DHH @dhh]

We once had to contend with calls for a "diversity consultant" who was meant to come hunt for racism at 37s. Not because anyone had ever seen or heard of any, but because it could all have been hidden or internalized. Real witch doctor madness era.

@johnennis Two weeks to flatten at least made some sense initially when there was still uncertainty about hospitalization rates and R0. Obviously its political usefulness dramatically exceeded its medical one.

[Greg McBeth @gregmcbeth]

The ultimate ‘masks-off’ moment for media, public health, and the Democratic establishment.

They deserve every bit of the scorn levied at them.

[NPR @NPR]

Dozens of public health and disease experts have signed an open letter in support of the nationwide anti-racism protests.

"White supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19," they wrote.

@MikeMcDonald89 So much talent he was able to coast at lower levels. Never forced to develop a strong work ethic. And ultimately got paid anyway.

@Alexfeinberg We left SF in 2019 for the same reason. First the city, then the state.

There’s a lot to miss about CA, but no question the quality of life for the money is better elsewhere. Especially w/remote work.

@katrosenfield For the writers, social validation/status signaling.

For the political class, air cover to enact whatever policies they wish, in spite of the obvious harms.

@WillManidis Head to your local Learing Center and they’ll print one out for you

@9mmsmg My parents took my sister and I on trips as much as money and time allowed. I often complained about it at the time, but look back very fondly today.

I’m thankful that they made it a priority.

HR is where mediocre goes to subsist

[Joe Lonsdale @JTLonsdale]

We didn’t have “HR” when building Palantir, for similar reasons - I avoided Ryan’s mistake.

And when we needed some PeopleOps, we hired technical leaders.

Going into the vast majority of companies and firing most of their HR and Marketing departments would tend to create value!

[Greg McBeth @gregmcbeth]

@Rhodesiaonsol Yes, because WADA approval is required to officially recognize a world record.

Aside from that, the ship has already sailed.

[Greg McBeth @gregmcbeth]

@dankness3 I realize you’re using this as an anti-conservative gotcha. But no - they won’t.

The history of human influence has been nothing but consistent.

[Greg McBeth @gregmcbeth]

That is the sound of inevitability

[Polymarket @Polymarket]

JUST IN: The Enhanced Games are set to debut this weekend in Las Vegas, with athletes allowed to use steroids, testosterone, HGH, & other banned substances.

[Greg McBeth @gregmcbeth]

@RokoMijic It’ll be both.

The future isn’t Idiocracy, it’s Elysium.

[Greg McBeth @gregmcbeth]

@9mmsmg #3 by a solid margin

[Greg McBeth @gregmcbeth]

@beauhightowerdn Same. At 44, I’m as strong as I was at 18 and very physically active. But every week or two there’s some new twinge that reminds me I’m well into middle age.

[Greg McBeth @gregmcbeth]

@EdLatimore I hear that. All things considered I’ve lived a pretty sheltered life (great family, friends, career). And even I have a dozen or so stories that if I told someone who’s never met me, they’d find them hard to believe. I can only imagine how wild things get in some circles.

[Greg McBeth @gregmcbeth]

@wil_da_beast630 Not sure I’d call it abuse, but it’s certainly justification for divorce (or getting it elsewhere).

[Greg McBeth @gregmcbeth]

@Suhail Because he’s white, male, and talented.

That’s literally it.

[Greg McBeth @gregmcbeth]

If you believe that people should “pay their fair share” but aren’t furious about stuff like this, then your belief is driven by envy, not principle.

[Austen Allred @Austen]

The average American will work their entire lives and pay $525k in federal taxes.

So, on average, 2,667 people had to work and pay taxes for their entire lives just to fund last year’s hospice fraud in LA county.

[Greg McBeth @gregmcbeth]

I'm getting early access to Margin Machines — an AI workforce that helps you generate more output without hiring.

The best operators won't be working alone anymore.
