Republican Roger Marshall's mayor says the senator is not a Kansas resident. "Look, it's quite obvious he doesn't live here anymore." "He lives in Florida. He has a little hunting lodge south of Great Bend in Stafford County. And I think that's an issue for people, from what I hear."

Sociopathic.

I have now seen three different and prominent tech commentators describe the Anthropic IPO as a "Rorschach test" and then proceed to do nothing whatsoever to detail how or what that might be the case. 🤷‍♂️

On the bright side, Ace Bailey is a revelation!

I’ll be honest, I expected something less interesting than this. At a glance this is a pretty formidable business potentially. www.sec.gov/Archives/edg...

My only contribution to “the Factory” discourse is that the salt block they call meatloaf deserves the Medal of Freedom and its own Michelin star.

SUPER cool map that shows which party is getting small donor funds, broken down by county. There are tabs for the big Senate races too. votehub.com/2026/10/24/2...

It would appear that Ace Bailey has no interest in coming off the bench. 🤣 That’s a heckuva quarter.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Well well well… #rockchalk

There's a growing lower-market for $2M-$5M EBITDA. But also for left-behind startups! Likely pain here for investors, but this can help to clear the market out for new startups, provide at least some liquidity and allow for funds to fundraise and become active check-writers again. This is good news.

I suppose this isn’t all that surprising, but it really shocked me for some reason. The bag-grabbing is just…

Performative acts are not less valuable because they are performative. They are more valuable. Virtue signaling is a good thing.

I can’t imagine being this kind of loser, on purpose and in full view of others.

Pretty please! Just two more testers? I promise it's a pretty good app (if you're a dork about your house)!

I believe my favorite college football team will inexplicably continue to employ its coach for quite some time, but that today's loss was the one that spelled the end of his time there.

Sam Brownback says Ty Masterson would “do a great job as governor.” What a well-deserved endorsement. In an act of bipartisanship, I even created a graphic for everyone to share far and wide.

This is so good

This is the one weekend in 2026 when you can watch the Charlie Brown Halloween special without subscribing to a streaming service. Here's how. (Photo: Apple)

since it worked out well the last time (it did!)-- I've got some time before my next job starts. If anybody's interested in hiring me for a short-term consulting engagement to help align your teams on agentic product/engineering development, drop me a DM and we can have a conversation about it.

This morning the poor students of the "Financing The Startup" class at the OKU School of Law had to listen to my ramblings on the state of the private markets (not great) and the opportunities for new lawyers (really fantastic IMO) in this environment. Thanks @caradehnert.bsky.social for having me!

I'm just stuffing this back into everyone's feed this afternoon. Spread far and wide!

One question Marshall’s campaign declined to answer is whether the 18% interest rate was disclosed to patients up front or in an invoice.

I’m supporting a new project in perimenopause and menopause care. It’s an in-person clinic built around unhurried specialist care, and it’s seeking a medical director. If you know a clinician with deep menopause experience who’d want to help build it, I’d love an introduction.

This Sean Payton play calling has been really magnificent! What a fun new era for the Broncos offense!

It’s peak

Listen…. The “taco burger,” particularly as perfected by Taco Tico (followed by Taco Johns) is a work of culinary art. I will not be taking questions.

Damnit Kansas I’m trying to be mad at you and irrationally disappointed. What’s this all about? #rockchalk
