@iampaulgrewal @coinbase @Meta @Microsoft @Starlink @TheJusticeDept Cool. Now now get my money back from scammers that stole from me

Scammers think crypto gives them a place to hide. It doesn't. We recently concluded a major operation with @Meta, @Microsoft, @Starlink, and @TheJusticeDept to freeze $3M+ in assets tied to scam networks in Southeast Asia. Another case solved thanks to the transparency of blockchains. coinbase.com/en-gb/blog/fig…

@janecoaston My sister and I used to watch this all the time as a kids. Finally watched it a year or two ago as an adult. I felt like my childhood was a lie.

okay obviously the answer is like "The Twilight Zone" or "Birth of A Nation" but my current vote is for "Anastasia," which is Tsarist propaganda.

@emmma_camp_ It’s hard to beat a martini or a Negroni. That urban jungle looks interesting!

The menus for my last two cocktail parties beg to differ!

@OmarKelly Could you just get rid of the draft altogether? Just make all college players free agents.

All good ideas. And the NFL needs a lottery to address their tanking problem too

@asymmetricinfo A major red tape hurdle is legacy product lock in. Paying technical debt on a product that was standard 30-40 years ago which required specialists to operate because you can’t upgrade the product or hire retrain/new engineers.

I wish I thought this was true. It *should* be true. But the barriers to better tech in government, medicine, and defense are not primarily the unit costs of producing the code. It’s mostly red tape and a lack of urgency.

@OmarKelly I’m not a super active follow. O-line has been a problem for years. Why doesn’t the organization ever prioritize this group?

As I’ve consistent told you folks. The Dolphins have talent. But they aren’t deep, and their problematic areas (O-line and secondary) can weight this team down like an anvil. They needed a hot start. A cold one will cost everyone their jobs. Let’s see how this movie plays

@OmarKelly Go

My daughter is having her first summer camp field trip today. I signed up to go as a chaperone but feel like I’ll be cramping her style. She says she wants me to go, but it seems like pity. Should I not go, or go?

@DavidAFrench I don’t always align with your movie taste, but I definitely agree with you here.

Three movies that more people need to see: 1) Kingdom of Heaven (director's cut, preferably) 2) Last of the Mohicans (awesome from start to finish) 3) Master and Commander (because of course)

@GTA6Intel Real beer is op. Real bubbles and drinking it is also really good.

Beer in GTA 6 has actual fizzing bubbles. The detail in this game is unreal, Rockstar’s on another level

@BasedMikeLee What if they don’t?

What will Trump’s haters do if his tariff play brings country after country to the negotiating table, resulting in bilateral trade agreements that make U.S. trade more free than ever?

@Geiger_Capital @scottlincicome I guess I’ll get my vanilla from Canada now

*47% TARIFFS ON MADAGASCAR

@JDVance So if we make America poorer, we can stop another Great Depression. Got it.

It is this braindead liberalism pretending to conservatism that saw the US go from the world's manufacturing superpower to one in which the PRC makes nearly twice as much as we do. And where, if the small island of Taiwan fell to an invasion, we'd be hurled into a Great Depression. This is not just about a "few union workers," this is about a globalized economic system in which the United States absorbs much of the producer surplus of the world. A system whose brittle supply chains exposed our economic vulnerability after COVID. And speaking of those auto workers this guy has such contempt for, it was the auto workers of the 1940s who allowed the United States to go from a peacetime economy to the best mass producer of aircraft the world had ever seen. By this logic, it should be illegal for the United States to control our borders, because that makes it impossible for employers to buy and sell labor at the price they choose. President Trump believes in borders. He believes in economic self-sufficiency. He believes America should be a great nation.

@janecoaston Hilter was led by the Volksgeist into Stalingrad during the winter to be tempted by the devil.

:: reads about Stalingrad :: that's my guy!

Christianity: roughly two thousand years old The Third Reich: lasted 12 years and ended with most of its main promoters dead in a ditch

@scottlincicome Gotta recommend Pataday eye drops for allergy relief.

Ready for spring.

@VivekGRamaswamy We currently have the best engineers, native and foreign.

The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over “native” Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation). A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture. Tough questions demand tough answers & if we’re really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the TRUTH: Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer). That doesn’t start in college, it starts YOUNG. A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers. A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers. (Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates). More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of “Friends.” More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less “chillin.” More extracurriculars, less “hanging out at the mall.” Most normal American parents look skeptically at “those kinds of parents.” More normal American kids view such “those kinds of kids” with scorn. If you grow up aspiring to normalcy, normalcy is what you will achieve. Now close your eyes & visualize which families you knew in the 90s (or even now) who raise their kids according to one model versus the other. Be brutally honest. “Normalcy” doesn’t cut it in a hyper-competitive global market for technical talent. And if we pretend like it does, we’ll have our asses handed to us by China. This can be our Sputnik moment. We’ve awaken from slumber before & we can do it again. Trump’s election hopefully marks the beginning of a new golden era in America, but only if our culture fully wakes up. A culture that once again prioritizes achievement over normalcy; excellence over mediocrity; nerdiness over conformity; hard work over laziness. That’s the work we have cut out for us, rather than wallowing in victimhood & just wishing (or legislating) alternative hiring practices into existence. I’m confident we can do it. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

@scottlincicome They do leave dead vermin on your door step

Flying super-strong dog who happily helps his Superperson save all of humanity? Sure, no problem. Normal cat that lifts even a single claw to help a drowning baby? Cmon, man.

Notice how there is no Supercat? That's bc it'd be too unbelievable.

@PastorBenMarsh Trump just hits different man

@PastorBenMarsh Are you sure you’re holding it the right way?

@PeteButtigieg Politicians will say anything

Remarkable confession by JD Vance this morning when he said he will “create stories” (that is, lie) to redirect the media. All this to change the subject away from abortion rights, manufacturing jobs, taxation of the rich, and the other things clearly at stake in this election.

@PastorBenMarsh I long for the time when we were being urged to buy gold…
