Oh fuck off. Walk and chew gum.* *This could be posturing to not scare off GOP vote switchers before 11/3, but a) that's a dumbass strategy and b) I think Dem caucus is still way behind the country in terms of wanting to kick off the FO phase of MAGA FAFO
Adam Schiff says Democrats should put 'overriding emphasis' on costs, not impeachment nbcnews.to/4iixW82
If there's one thing that can bring us all together, it's rich assholes getting comeuppance. Don't let pundits tell you Dems need to look forward. Need MNF-style weekly perp walks and a rolling counter of $ being returned to Treasury. Hell, call it a justice dividend and give X% back as a tax refund
We set up an annual lottery and we create an entire civic responsibility focused cultural expectation. We make tracking impact over the year a national sport. Like a reverse Hunger Games.
I am for a very specific redistribution of wealth. We take $1B from each of the top 100 billionaires in the US. We give that money to 100 random citizens. My bet is that the goodness 90% of those people would do with more money than they know what to do with, would be incredible for humanity.
God it's so easy to make money if you have zero scruples (and you're a white dude). $250k. To ask a question at a town hall. Like you couldn't find some dude on the corner and give him a Jackson?
Huge follow-up reporting to my scoop: The Guardian confirmed America Next—the conservative nonprofit founded by Bobby Jindal that was offering students $ to disrupt El-Sayed events—paid a firm registered to Tommy Teepell’s dad Timmy $250k for “canvassing and influencer marketing” against El-Sayed.

If our system of justice can determine that shooting a one year-old is justified, then we do not have a system of justice, and our goal should be the eradication of the system we have and its replacement with something better.
JUST IN: The police shooting that killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley as he sat in his mother’s lap in a Walmart parking lot in Senatobia, Miss., in June “was justified,” Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s office said on Monday. Her office will not charge the white officer who shot the child.
Even if he was the right guy, hitting a person with a vehicle should be charged as assault at a minimum or attempted murder if we're actually into the whole accountability thing.
Ricardo Gonzalez, a 40-year-old U.S. citizen, was riding his e-bike in Long Beach, California, when ICE agents struck him with an unmarked vehicle and tased him twice. ICE thought he was someone else.

If I could send this to every early-days founder I've ever met, I would. Congrats to Geoff on reaching a level of success that precious few will ever reach, and having the humility and vulnerability to be honest about what that entails.
We started building our SaaS start-up, @outseta.com, 10 years ago today. 🎂 Here are my reflections. This one is for all the SaaS founders who know what it means to grind + all the people who say those who #buildinpublic only share the glossy version. ⬇️ www.outseta.com/posts/reflec...

In the USA, there are ~50 million Black people, and ~50 million immigrants. So far this year, US cops have killed 217 Black people like this. Not a typo. Two hundred and seventeen. US cops are between 10 times and 100 times more dangerous for Black people than ICE is for immigrants.
Fuck it, let him do it, then take the whole thing by eminent domain in 2029 and make it a free muni course with each tee box having a plaque describing one of his many crimes and misdemeanors. Dedicate it to getting more minorities into the sport.
President Trump wants to transform his West Palm Beach golf club into a presidential retreat modeled after Camp David. The plan calls for the federal government to be granted part of the property, with the rest maintained as a private course. https://wapo.st/4i8vAty
Clearest indication yet that Apple is cooked. They've completely lost their internal understanding of what makes their products great.
NEW: Apple’s new CEO John Ternus is moving to overhaul the company to run faster, leaner, launch products more frequently and squeeze more revenue out of existing products and services. A look at the plans — www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
I would have so much fun funding shit like this if I were a billionaire. Have empathy, drive and an idea to help someone? Here's your check.
So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...
Dems should publicly come out and say, we are not going to waste our time fighting this, we're focused on the economy. BUT. Here's the exact text of the bill that will be passed Day 1 that removes his name/stink from everything that he touched.
EXCLUSIVE @ms.now: Trump administration officials have discussed attaching the president’s name to Ford’s Theatre, the playhouse where Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in 1865 Officials are circulating a list of government sites that could carry the president’s name www.ms.now/news/trump-f...

In Obamacare 2.0 I want it to be illegal to use a non-public algorithm to make coverage decisions. Can't even imagine the horrendous hard coded rules these companies are using. Someone wrote that code, and if I'm going to die because of its output, I should have the right to audit it.
The AI industry wants you to say "the AI just did that thing on its own!" Like, United Health's AI that's denying a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate? They wanted you to think it's just the AI.

Dude has 5 kids. How many pediatrician appointments do you think he's been to. Over under at 0.5.
Trump: "At one year, you should have 5 separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. I've seen proof of where they have a vaccination thing that looks like the size of a bottle of soda and pour it into a little child's body."
This isn't the healthy "we do things more efficiently so we can lower the price" market competition. It's a game of chicken, the winner just hopes to survive on debt long enough to be the last one standing, then jack the rates. See Uber/Lyft v taxis.
OpenAI is negotiating down your Anthropic bill more than any volume discount you could dream of. When market competition works, it *really* works.
Reaching point where codebase is growing faster than I can codify its structures in long term memory.
Yes, and the best way to to maintain a complete understanding of your code is to actually look at it. You definitely don't have to look at every line of code anymore but don't throw away your diff viewer yet.
100% The cost of writing code was a load bearing pillar that provided time for feedback and "is this worth it?" questions. Hard to fight the urge to "just build what they asked for" and end up with accolades for producing Homer-mobile-ass software.
Observationally for most devs the ability to produce 10x the code means that no stakeholder need ever be consulted before an ostensibly finished product is revealed, thereby resulting in a lot of shiny bullshit that no one uses
Is there anyone polling public sentiment for holding administration officials accountable for crimes while in office? We need ammo when all of the centrist Dems start talking about bringing the country together. @gelliottmorris.com ?
