Things most Americans agree on:

Groceries cost too much.

Tariffs suck and make no sense.

Congress and Presidents shouldn’t trade stocks.

The debt is a mess.

The border should be secure, but legal immigration is good.

Endless wars are stupid, especially ones that nobody wants and have never been explained.

Americans are exhausted.

AI is like my new best friend that also might be trying to take my job, my ability to think for myself, and my humanity in the process. Yo like I love you, but WTF, but I still love you.

Diversity is actually awesome! The opposite is boring AF.

Canadians are super fucking cool.

Mexicans are chill.

Putin isn’t a good guy looking out for America’s best interest. Rocky IV and Miracle are great movies.

Good neighbors are a blessing.

Freedom of religion and coexistence without having to blow each other up is probably a good idea.

We all question, are we alone in the universe?

We all fuck up along the way.

Epstein didn’t hang himself.

The Trumps and Epstein were best friends for decades. It’s like Bert trying to tell us Ernie was just an acquaintance in the same social scene on Sesame Street back in the day.

The Cowboys suck. Go Birds!

Things we’re told to fight about:

Me.
Laptop.
Vaccines.
Transgenders in sports.
Pronouns.

That’s the joke.

The goal of education in each century:

1st century - The cultivation of virtue
5th century - The cultivation of virtue
9th century - The cultivation of virtue
14th century - The cultivation of virtue
19th century - The cultivation of virtue

21st century - College and Career Readiness 🤦‍♂️

Your CEO should be strong.

Your CTO should be wise.

Your COO should be wicked, cunning, of mysterious origins, fluent in the dark arts, blurry in pictures,

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Eric Daugherty @EricLDaugh]

🚨 WOW! Gov. Ron DeSantis just said after his upcoming vetoes, Florida will have REDUCED state spending for 4 years in a row...

...and nearly HALF of ALL state debt has been paid off since 2019 🔥

"Our budget, even though we have MILLIONS of more people than New York State, New York's budget is more than TWICE the size of Florida's budget, and people can ask, where's all that money going?"

"And in fact, I'm going to be dealing with our current, our next fiscal year budget. And once I do my vetoes, I will be able to say that we have actually at the state level in Florida reduced spending four years in a row."

"Now that's foreign to some of those blue states, but they're quite frankly, aren't very many jurisdictions that are doing it. So we're proud of that. We obviously have a very light tax at the state level, but the one thing that's been tough for people is the property tax."

And now property taxes will be largely removed.

LFG ☀️

[Andrew T. Walker @AndrewTWalker]

As a Protestant and a Baptist, I’m genuinely looking forward to the papal encyclical on AI tomorrow.

Whatever divides Rome and Geneva, and there is no shortage of things that do, social ethics is not where those fault lines run deepest. On questions of human dignity, the integrity of the person, and the moral ordering of technology, there is real and consequential common ground in defending the dignity of the human person against reductionist visions of humanity.

What also makes this especially interesting is the Roman Catholic appeal to natural law reasoning. Because its moral arguments are not grounded exclusively in revealed theology, but in principles accessible to human reason as such, the encyclical has the potential to speak well beyond Rome itself. It will be fascinating to see how those outside the Christian tradition engage its analysis of AI, human nature, and moral responsibility.

Elon Musk says weekly skip-level meetings expose the 'glazed' lieutenants every CEO trusts.

A typical Fortune 500 CEO held a meeting once a month.

Their direct reports presented prepared slides.

Their direct reports' reports never made the room.

The CEO heard the version of reality their VPs wanted them to hear.

"I have these very detailed engineering reviews weekly."

Skip-level. No agenda. No prep.

Everyone in the room. All reports flow up at once.

The format was designed to make pre-meeting choreography impossible.

Run the meeting before it runs you.

Then Musk named what choreography produces.

"Otherwise you're going to get glazed, as I say these days."

Musk named the corporate disease: **glazed**.

Polished. Predictable. Almost useless.

Musk, who ran weekly engineering reviews across Tesla, SpaceX, and xAI, knew the glaze on sight.

A direct report with 48 hours to prepare an answer would deliver the version of reality that protected their team, their roadmap, and their compensation — while the engineer two levels below them, asked the same question cold, would say what was actually happening on the floor.

"I just go around the room. Everyone provides an update."

No slides. No deck. No script.

Question and answer, traded live.

After Musk standardized the format, corporate truth started matching shop-floor truth.

Bad news arrived earlier. Course corrections happened faster.

Compensation arguments shortened.

Musk, on what the weekly cadence buys:

"It's a lot of information to keep in your head."

What in your weekly meetings is already a rehearsal nobody admits to?

Capitalism is the solution in healthcare. But, there is a reason we have anti-trust laws. There are reasons why we have the @FTC

We are at a point in time where the big vertically integrated carriers and providers are abusing their market positions. Neither agency has done shit to stop them over the past decade

There is a bill, the Break Up Big Medicine Bill from @HawleyMO and @SenWarren. I have talked to democratic senators who have said they will support it if more republican senators do. They want to match 1 dem to 1 rep. Totally dumb shit. So they say nothing.

Other than Josh, not a single republican senator I have talked to has the guts to stand up for it. Period. They won’t give a reason. They just won’t do it.

If you want less government in healthcare, it can’t happen until these conglomerates are broken up

If you want single payer or M4A , it can’t happen until these conglomerates are broken up

Quit bitching and call your senator and tell them to grow a spine and support this bill
