One thing to threaten the global economy because you have a strong theory about how international trade should be organized. It's another to threaten the global economy while bouncing around aimlessly like an ADD-addled toddler. There's no there there. Morons all the way down.

hopefully just the start of RFK Jr making good proposals for hilarious reasons “We should promote whole grains, because the Illuminati has a stranglehold on processed carbs” “Everyone should get 30 mins of exercise a day to stay a few steps ahead of your own shadow-daemon”

Sources: the US Office of Personnel Management's highest ranks are now controlled by former employees of Elon Musk's companies, like xAI and the Boring Company

Sources tell WIRED that the OPM's top layers of management now include individuals linked to xAI, Neuralink, the Boring Company, and Palantir.

Setting aside my own very negative views of Trump, the utter failure of the attempts to stigmatize him... it just feels like something has really been breached on that front and all sorts of mainstream folks, from Haley to Andreessen, don't care anymore https://www.nytimes.com/...

On their podcast, Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz explain why they are backing Trump, say Trump is pro-crypto, Biden's overregulation harms startups, and more

Marc Andreessen, the co-founder of one of the most prominent venture capital firms in Silicon Valley, says he's been a Democrat most of his life.

Netflix fires a leader of the trans employee resource group who was organizing a walkout, for allegedly leaking metrics related to the Dave Chappelle special

2/ The Netflix statement treats it as an established fact this employee leaked metrics. If they lied about that, that would be a HUGE story and a disastrous lawsuit. The staffers who complained but who didn't leak metrics have not been fired. This is dumb. https://twitter.com/...

One of the only sane things that has been written about the fake Substack scandal, and it's just as much about the future of media and how the newsletter economy selects for punditry over reporting. Worth a read. https://stratechery.com/...

The NYT overstated the influence of both Slate Star Codex and the Rationalist community on Silicon Valley, and falsely portrayed the tech industry as right-wing

Stereotyping the tech industry as a bunch of secretive right-wingers isn't correct, and it isn't helpful.  —  11 hr ago

1/ Substack has laid down a liberal stance on open discourse and moderation that is likely to get the site in trouble with many progresive journalists, but which is (in my view) broadly popular across the (normie) political spectrum — and very pro-writer. https://blog.substack.com/...
