live in Texas, where the seizing of assets is met with a “vibrant” response. … and I could easily live and deploy capital in Tokyo, Abu Dhabi or Singapore if America no longer wants an angel investor who backs 100+ startups a year!

I think it's rude to over-generalize, but my opinion of a lot of left-wing media is unfortunately well-summarized by these two facts: 1. The Chapo guys refused, repeatedly, to talk to me and Ezra after we were pitched for their show during the abundance tour. 2. Now, Will insists that my inviting Mamdani on my show to discuss our political disagreements (like, half the podcast is about how we don't see eye to eye on housing policy and transit costs) amounts to my total capitulation to the tenets of democratic socialism. If you think the only way to talk to somebody you disagree with is to first surrender to them, you don't have a theory of persuasion. You have a theory of insularity and insecurity. Anyway, Mamdani was really wonderful to talk to, and we still disagree about housing, rent freezes, transit costs, public sector unions, the degree to which NYC's problems are principally a function of insufficient spending, etc. It's okay to have conversations with people you think are wrong and who think you're wrong. It's fine! Not that painful. Kinda fun even.






No Other Land wins Best Documentary Feature Film at the #Oscars The film was the Highest Rated Documentary on Letterboxd in 2024.

This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety. It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge. In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.

"I believe we should follow the law," Kamala Harris says when asked by Hallie Jackson if transgender Americans should have access to gender-affirming care.

Bill Clinton in Michigan: "I understand why young Palestinian and Arab Americans in Michigan think too many people have died — I get that, but…" "Hamas makes sure that they're shielded by civilians, they'll force you to kill civilians, if you want to defend yourself."
