Regardless of your opinions about any of it, you’ve gotta hear this interview about how Thiel and Hogan took down Gawker. Wild drama. I would watch this movie. x.com/anncoulter/sta…
FULL VIDEO: My interview with Peter Thiel.
I fucking hate that Ender’s Game’s b plot ended up being the most prophetic sci-fi of the 20th century.
JD Vance and Zohran Mamdani are two sides of the same coin. They both represent a future where trolls say extremist shit on TikTok and then politicians get popularity by pretending that shit is true.
Turns out Starlink was powered entirely by Hulkamania.
Starlink is currently in a network outage and we are actively implementing a solution. We appreciate your patience, we'll share an update once this issue is resolved.
Every time I encounter a Gawker alum, I am reminded of a great gift Hulk Hogan gave the world. The destruction of this disgusting outlet and spreading its “talent” to the wind was an unmitigated win for humanity. Thank you, Hulk Hogan. You were kind of an ass, but this was good.
If you are a technical founder, you do not need a non-technical cofounder.
One reason there are very few monopolies in developer tools might be that developers tend to identify with and side with underdogs. Once something is too ubiquitous, it becomes cool to use something else. languages, frameworks, ETL tools, databases, warehouses. What else?
“Won’t vibe coding kill the developer software industry?”
Before Canva, there were only 5M 'designers' that used Photoshop. Canva made everyone capable of designing, 44x'd the market to 220M designers. Lovable is doing the same for code and 'producing' 1 billion builders by building the product that builds all other products.
Technically speaking, Russian Supreme Court appointments are also for life.
BREAKING: Irina Podnosova, head of the Russian Supreme Court, has died suddenly in Moscow She was appointed to this position just over a year ago following the equally sudden death of the former head of the Supreme Court. She was personally nominated for the position by Putin.
How do you, as a dog, chew though a collar that you are wearing at the time?
Since day one, GrowSF has believed the challenges San Francisco faced could be overcome with the love, devotion, and passion of the people who live here. Here is @NotionHQ's story about why they chose San Francisco. growsf.org/news/2025-07-2…
Easy. You just change the constant for air density in the control software when it touches the water.
A drone or a submarine? 🫧 A student just built a drone that flies through the air and swims underwater — and it actually works. As part of his Bachelor’s project, Andrei Copaci created a 3D-printed, hybrid drone with variable pitch propellers, meaning the blades shift…
Harry Houdini killed by sucker punch. Guy who wrestled crocodiles for a living dies from common stingray jab. Dude who skydived from the stratosphere dies from hang gliding into a swimming pool. What’s up with all these anti-climactic daredevil deaths? cnn.com/2025/07/17/spo…
This is the problem with the FTC antitrust policy. There are no consumers here to protect here. Nobody in tech or industry cares about this deal. There are zero concerns about the concentration of power, access, data, IP, or anything. Why are they waisting everybody's time.

I always chuckle when overeducated academic socialjusticespeak figures out how to make a child’s argument take 100 fancy words. Here, all he’s saying is “I didn’t mean it THAt way” when he gets caught using an offensive term.
Mamdani tells @errollouis he’d discourage to use ‘Globalize the Intifada’ slogan because the distance between what some intend as a form of protest and what most Jewish New Yorkers hear as a call to violence is “a bridge that is too far.”
