I think it’s fair to say venture capital is in a bit of a wandering period. Until the next “iPhone” comes along, I don’t know if there will be any huge exits. The iPhone really allowed app-based startups to reach their potential—imagine Airbnb or Uber of even Facebook being what they are without

The constitutional remedy for a president who launches a war of acquisition against an ally is impeachment, removal, disqualification, and ultimately a criminal trial. And the same is true for every member of his cabinet involved in such an illegal undertaking.

“Putin will destroy your infrastructure, but he’ll be very generous in his prices while charging you to fix it.”
This is an absolutely unhinged thing to say about a country that was invaded, bombed, and terrorized by Russia. Calling Putin “generous” while Ukraine is fighting for its survival tells you everything about where Trump’s loyalties actually lie.

An modern authoritarian regime without hereditary succession basically has to rely on incompetents to run it. Anyone competent is a threat, no matter how hard they perform to ingratiate themselves.

I see a lot of people swearing by the sobriety movement, almost to a degree that you have to wonder how much they were drinking before they quit. Like it must have really been destroying their lives. I’m grateful that I never let alcohol become something so destructive in my life.

Is it that the world is just turning to authoritarianism, or have people gotten way too drunk on “Ackchyually” contrarianism?

Hey, at least they found a use for crypto!
Crypto casinos have become a multi-billion dollar industry. One of the ways they've grown is with an unusual marketing strategy: paying millions to internet celebrities to livestream themselves gambling for hours.

All these arguments about how the stuff we have is obsolete ignore how badly other countries want what we have.
You know who doesn't think drones can replace cruise missiles? Ukraine.
You know who doesn't think carriers and next gen fighters are obsolete? China.

Not only looking for a savior in politicians, but in things like crypto and blockchain technologies
This may explain some people, but how does it explain the many voters I meet who voted for Obama and then for Trump? They are just looking for a savior, and if one didn't succeed, they'll move on to the next who promises even more.

Maybe he told Trump that FDR had four terms.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social got Trump so charmed that Trump posted two photos of the two of them with Franklin Roosevelt’s portrait behind them AND one of just Mamdani and FDR’s portrait.
