dropping multiple to 4 stars after committing to big 12 schools is nasty work 🫵🏻
Hey @grok, did Trump's first Campaign Manager send Trump Campaign internal polling data to a known Russian intelligence officer over WhatsApp and deleted the chatlog regularly? Yes or No.
Just a reminder: Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche was Donald Trump’s Personal Defense Attorney. Todd Blanche just met with Ghislaine Maxwell and gave her limited immunity. Do you get it yet?
“I really don’t understand where all the coin is comin’ from for this so-called “auto mobile” Henry Ford’s been tinkerin’ with. Who’s payin’ for these contraptions? Let alone at the scale folks are whisperin’ about? I ain’t seein’ my fellow trainers or stablehands takin’ to…
I really dont understand where all the revenue is coming from for Bolt/Lovable/v0. Who's paying for these? Let alone at the scale of revenue folks are reporting? I just dont see data from my peers on adoption (and dont see it at Sentry). Is it consumer?
@elonmusk (since I can’t complain to the CEO anymore): How and why does this shit wind up in my “For you” feed? Antisemitic neo-Nazi pseudointellectualism is not exactly high on the list of what anyone else besides X thinks would be of interest to me. If you want to run a…
What are some things Jews do well? Here, I’ll start: Lie.
I'm Row 1 facing the cameras at the MLS All Star match tonight. What should my sign say? #MLSAllStar #Messi
Hey, so I've been working on tree planting and forest restoration for years. It's been a hard journey, learning many lessons and building our capabilities. But now we're pretty good at it, and people ask me often if they can pay us to plant trees for them. Now, the answer…
If you want to start a software startup, you should still learn to program. Even if AI writes most of your code, you'll still be in the position of an engineering manager, and to be a good engineering manager you have to be a programmer yourself.
Respect to all the conservative folks who are not letting this go despite Trump wanting them to.🫡 This is not left vs right. It’s the people vs the pedophiles.
When difficulty to build becomes easier, distribution becomes king. That's why.
I'm clueless why @cluely needs $15M to build a meeting app that barely works... Unless they’re running a social media marketing company? in that case, the kids are crushing it. kudos to them! Anyway, I built Clueless - a better, open-source, privacy-first alternative. No…
🚨I just offered @RepRoKhanna’s amendment in the Rules Committee demanding a floor vote in Congress on whether Trump’s DOJ should release the Epstein files. All but one Republican voted no.
If you thought Superman was right for fighting fascists in the 1970s but now you think he’s wrong for fighting fascists in the 2020s, then Superman didn’t go woke… you went fascist.
oof
Incorrect. Talked to a senior employee at windsurf and current employees are getting no pay out and are left with shell of a company to “run”. All the cash is going to founders and preferred equity holders. It’s terrible for the industry.
Jeffrey Epstein is still very relevant. So are his files. Rosie O’Donnell? Not relevant. Release the Epstein Files.
FTA: "In the years since Jeffrey Epstein's suspicious death in federal custody, defenders of Donald Trump have repeated a singular talking point with religious zeal: If Trump were really involved, why didn't Biden release the files? It is a clean, plausible-seeming argument…
The Epstein documents were heavily redacted at the moment they were released — not before. That means the blackouts happened under Trump’s DOJ, not some later cover-up. The censorship began while his team was in charge. 🔒
There's nothing to release. Trump arrested Epstein in 2019 so his team could go in to the FBI servers and censor everything for the next President.
So why didn’t Biden release any of it? Was it because there isn’t any evidence linking anyone with the crime. Just a list of people doesn’t do much good if we have no evidence of wrongdoing.
