It's amazing how good an investor you can be when you singlehandedly control the financial fate of hundreds of publicly traded companies. www.wsj.com/finance/stoc...

How it started / how it’s going

Nothing says “freedom” more than the US Navy, US Coast Guard and NYPD bullying a tall ship following instructions (with pro-climate & civil rights banners) and then lying about it. “Clearwater said they were never asked to take down the banners. Sail4th 250 said they did not ask them to leave.”

1000 evaluators given identical resumes & told candidate used AI. Only difference on resumes was candidate’s name: Emily vs James. Study found women using AI are evaluated as less competent than men who use AI...To evaluators, women’s AI use signaled inability, while men’s AI use signaled initiative

The famous sloop Clearwater, built by the late folk singer Pete Seeger and his friends, was removed from the Sail4th 250 Parade of Sail today. It was displaying banners that read, "Save the Clean Water Act" and "Indigenous Rights, Racial Justice, Climate Solutions.”

We had dinner with my Chinese immigrant in-laws last night, and we talked about America. My MIL said that living in America, a place that values freedom, gave her permission to become the person she wanted to be. If you’re looking for something to celebrate today, I think it’s a good place to start.

Just a reminder that patriotism isn't holding a bible and wrapping yourself in the flag while you violate the Constitution and plunder the country. Happy 4th of July, stay cool and safe!!

I can't believe this, but I have a personal example of this from my family: my great-great-great grandfather was born on a ship in New York Harbor that had just arrived from Cobh in 1848, but had not yet disembarked. Was he a native-born citizen? Nobody cared; the whole ship was allowed to live here

Elon Musk is a South African who came to the US under a fraudulently secured student visa to study at Stanford (he never enrolled). Through further fraud, he secured a green card and then was naturalized as a US citizen. His US citizenship can be revoked. He also holds a Canadian passport.

This is very funny. And in some ways, I think it may be true.

"Many of the Court’s recent decisions seem designed to convince Dems that the justices are acting arbitrarily, and that they are motivated entirely by partisanship. Those justices should not be shocked if the next time Democrats are in power, they do something about it." www.vox.com/politics/494...

"The Pope is the puppet of the Chinese authoritatian government" is a take you would make if you made billions by drinking paint.

Amazing ancient Lurs from Bronze Age Denmark. Thirty-nine of these bronze horns have been found in Danish peat bogs, likely deposited as ritual offerings some 3,000 years ago! Fun fact: Lurs are the inspiration behind the name and logo of Denmark’s Lurpak® butter! 🧈 🎺 🇩🇰 #FindsFriday #Archaeology

Here's my full interview with CNBC, covering my bear case against generative AI, OpenAI's questionable finances, AI's lack of ROI, and how all of this is a symptom of the tech industry running out of hypergrowth ideas. It's great to see the mainstream media discussing this. youtu.be/TtmPccUTDP8?...

62 years ago today, the Civil Rights Act was signed into law because people refused to back down. That same energy is needed now. As voting rights are under attack, we cannot afford to be complacent. We must keep fighting until every voice is heard and every vote counts. We are not letting up.

If there was any doubt that Gov Jared Polis’ legacy is freeing Tina Peters, the NYT reports Polis just fired the clemency board members who revealed he overruled their unanimous wishes www.nytimes.com/2026/07/01/u...

Getting bosses across industries to order employees to use AI a lot without identifying ways the tech actually helped—it’s the future, just use it, we can’t be left behind—has to be one of the most successful manipulations of all time. Other innovations got adopted when people saw uses for them.

The Justice Department is ignoring its duty to comply with oversight requests by Congress. This is EVERY OUTSTANDING REQUEST with no response or insufficient response by Todd Blanche’s Justice Department.

A president? Yes. This president? Not so much.

Justice Brown Jackson's argument for birthright citizenship is very moving. I recommend reading it in full. An excerpt with alt-text below. “The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.” — KBJ

Found a Great American State Fair live cam and it's like having a water cooler that dispenses schadenfreude. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ez0...

Actual facts: the plaintiff in this case, B.P.J., was a SIXTH-GRADE girl who wanted to try out for her middle school's cross-country and track-and-field teams. The state of West Virginia passed a law to stop her. If you can't explain that to your constituents in two sentences, you're the problem.

It's an abomination that four justices believe that the 14th amendment doesn't say what it says www.huffpost.com/entry/suprem...

Occupy Wall St. shunned participation in the political process, while the Tea Party embraced it. Tea Partiers won GOP primaries, reshaped the party, then the country. Left-wing candidates winning primaries today shows how participating in the political process gets more influence than rejecting it.

a) there are, like, single digit trans girls in sports in most states (sometimes literally one!), this entire thing is made up so that one girl who wants to play sports with her friends can't do it b) do not, under any circumstances, make policy based on angry sports parents

They want to convince their followers that we are un-American, in the wrong country. But it’s them. THEY are in the wrong country. Their goals, plans, ideology are no less than an insurrection against the Second Founding - the constitutional framework for our country created after the Civil War.

Does Clarence Thomas have basic reading comprehension? Many are asking.

There’s a special kind of irony in watching the “shall not be infringed” crowd twist themselves into knots insisting birthright citizenship shouldn’t exist. It’s amazing how flexible “absolute” rights become when they’re someone else’s.

It‘s just insane to me that a sitting president has made MORE THAN A BILLION DOLLARS peddling fucking fairy dust with no intrinsic value beyond his stature and power AS president, and it’s not treated as the biggest corruption scandal in American history.

what the fuck did yall think she meant

So I’m not a Christian but I really thought Jesus was kinda into low wage foreigners, no? Must’ve misunderstood…

The real headline from the birthright‑citizenship case isn’t the outcome. It’s that four Supreme Court justices signaled they believe a president can effectively rewrite the Constitution through executive order.

“.. He also reported earning $636 million in royalties from Celebration Coins.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Conservatives having a totally normal reaction to the Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship. This is co-founder of The Federalist Sean Davis:

The MOU was merely kicking the can down the road, and the road ahead looks rough ➡️Professional diplomats would have demanded more specifics.. But the U.S. negotiating team was led by an inexperienced vice president, the president’s son-in-law, and a real estate investor. www.ms.now/opinion/us-i...

5/ is THERE IS SIMPLY NO WAY TO MISTAKE THE MEANING OF THE AMENDMENT. It's too clear. You might as well have a random FedSoc lawyer come up with some grand new theory about how the US senate is unconstitutional and doesn't exist. I mean, IT'S FUCKING RIGHT THERE IN THE DOCUMENT! There is a senate.

7/ another tweet, if you argue that this isn't clear you should be removed from the court.

Holy racism, batman
