Blew up my weekend to write this “Marc Benioff come-to-your-senses challenge.”

Marc Benioff wants troops in S.F.? There’s a path back to sanity, and it’s close to home
Marc Benioff called for the National Guard in S.F. The city doesn’t need the military on its streets. It needs the Salesforce founder to follow his grandfather’s example, Peter Hartlaub...

What a crock of shit from Marc Benioff — who appears willfully ignorant of news and facts and so thirsty for approval and attention from the Trump tech bros (who in the past mocked him relentlessly) that he is soiling himself in public www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Coming soon: LEGO smuggling.
