It's also incredibly dumb as something being pitched by people from a country that doesn't have a city comparable to Tokyo, Seoul, Shenzhen, Singapore, Oslo, etc., much less a so-called utopia.

So sick of it.

Nice @boingboing.net post about the Nerd Reich podcast: “…Connects threads that often get treated as separate stories.” “The takeaway is a billionaire class that promises utopia while building escape routes from the society they're breaking.” boingboing.net/2025/12/19/t...

It’s been an interesting few months since the parallel events of the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the publication of my book about Kirk and Turning Point USA. As a year-in-review here are some of my interviews and articles that might interest you: 1/x www.amazon.com/Seven-Mounta...

Just to be clear. It’s the John F Kennedy center legally. Just like it’s still the department of defense

went into this very skeptical of this lady and obviously seeing the replies to this piece, but i feel like everyone should read the whole thing. her story is complex and i feel like getting death threats for this is... insane. here's a gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/s...

Peter Thiel's cronies are freaking out about my book. Here's Garry Tan—an early Palantir employee who designed its logo—launching yet another attack. Make a tech lord cry! Pre-Order "The Nerd Reich: Silicon Valley Fascism and The War On Democracy" 👉 www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

This milieu is a better investment for Thiel than Dimes Square because---beyond the prospect of a patreon following or gallery representation---there is no career path for being a right-winger in Chinatown. In SF, there are many onramps into lucrative day jobs in defense tech.

I had an interesting exchange with the chatbot issued to students by my university about the advisability of using it—at a university. It thought this was a terrible idea.

Trump chief of staff Susie Wiles says: Trump “has an alcoholic’s personality” and is "score settling." Vance only supported Trump for "political" reasons. Elon Musk is “an avowed ketamine user.” Russell Vought is “a right-wing absolute zealot.” gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/16/u...

It was fascinating talking to @gilduran.com about the tech right, Christian nationalism, and all the convergences thereof.

Shortly before I finished edits on MORE EVERYTHING FOREVER, an economist warned me against proposing a wealth tax with a cap on maximum net worth. He told me it was too unpopular and people would say I was out of touch with reality. I seriously considered listening to him. I'm really glad I didn't.

Best book I've read in a while. Give it to someone for Christmas.

I have figured out the subject of my next book. "Bad Grape: The Scandalous Life and Notorious Times of Gamay"

Donald Trump is showing us what's possible. Anything is possible. The president can send troops into cities. The president can make $5 billion off of crypto in plain sight. The president can tear down an entire section of the White House and build an Epstein ballroom.

Never forage mushrooms! Unless you know what you’re doing… Chanterelles are poppin!

This entire article is positive about Trump Gold Cards. It contains positive quotes about it from Trump, Lutnick and a CEO. It contains no quotes from the many critics of the program. This is sandwiched between 6 posts about Erika Kirk. CBS is lost.

It’s kind of incredible how little has been published about this guy and how little conservatives seem to care. Did people just forget these people were screeching for civil war when they thought he was a liberal?

Kids, wake up. New Network State just dropped.
