This fucking guy is the absolute master of publicly supporting progressive policies when it’s not his actual authority and opposing them when he’s in a position to do something helpful. The emptiest suit of them all.

One old trick in politics is to oppose something possible while calling for something impossible. Example: Here's Gavin Newsom leading the charge for a "national billionaires tax" while he and his paid goons work to kill a state billionaire tax. This allows him to be on both sides for 2028.

SoftBank’s investor presentation is one of the greatest things ever made. I’ve been thinking about it all day. These are the real slides shown in a speech where Masayoshi Son said he wouldn’t retire for at least another decade. The goose stuff is truly demented. Bravo

My book refers to Musk’s USAID cuts as a Silicon Valley genocide. The richest man in the world took a chainsaw to the poorest people in the world. Laughing. So much money, so much death. Remember their names when billionaires preach “abundance.” 👇 In their AI dreams, we are all the future poor.

Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.” Additionally, motions 29 and 33 for acquittal and a new trial were denied from the bench.

This is a 500,000 square foot cold storage facility packed with foam insulation, with huge onsite coolant tanks. Because the plume is traveling in low lying bands, it often slips between the district's AQI sensors (which are designed to measure passive pollution, NOT critical emergencies).

This looks like pure political retribution. But keep in mind that Newsom’s former chief of staff recently pleaded guilty to a slew of federal crimes and faces decades in prison. She was also Becerra’s top political adviser. A perfectly weaponizable clusterf— that some of us feared.
