Bunch of dudes afraid of dying. I can’t wait until they figure out they have to do their own laundry and will most certainly never procreate.
Wait so there are Peter Thiel-backed landlocked seasteading libertarian cities that the current Honduras govt wants to get rid of that Roger Stone has been advocating for that JOH also supports? And Stone has also been advocating for JOH 's pardon?

✅ They have something I value (oil).
✅ They can’t defend themselves.
✅ They don’t have any friends who I hold in high regard.
✅ It will redirect attention from my insecurities (Epstein and economy).
✅ It would have made my father proud of me.

The president has illegally declared war to stop fentanyl trafficking from a country that does not traffic that drug, claiming its leader is trafficking drugs himself, the day after pardoning a former leader of a country who is a convicted drug trafficker.

If you believe use of AI for work is a hidden tell for lack of intelligence, welp.
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.
I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

There has always been a type of person who becomes a journalist because they want to get next to power or success or fame. It is dumb to be reflexively cynical and suggest that that is all, or most, journalists. But they're the dangerous ones, and what's frustrating is, they're not hard to spot.

So Olivia Nuzzi is clearly a piece of shit who can never work in journalism again after this.
And, also, Ryan Lizza is clearly a piece of shit who should never work in journalism again after this either.
We're all agree on that, right?

Apparently ChatGPT has 35 million paying subscribers now. I do not think that most of them are paying $20, also why is this data “as of July”? My reporting was accrual accounting so it was the quarter it was booked. The truth about this company is going to be grim
