Just got my Sturgill pre order

@mdnlabs @alex_dwarf You can order a pre-owned MacBook with a new battery if you're in Europe.

@alex_dwarf LMAO. This is honestly one of my main concerns

Whoever built this, you just made my entire day

@mdnlabs Back Market CMO here. Thanks, and check your DMs!

regular people being beautifully dressed and being able to get around at age 70 bc they live in walkable neighborhoods is the kind of thing the american mind simply cannot comprehend

@agreenberg @SamsungTV So good! Need one!

A Klimt sold for $236.4M today. Mine costs less than a cup of coffee on the @SamsungTV Frame TV with the #SamsungArtStore. Also easier to live with when my kids are running through the house armed with ice cream cones. To each his own.

What CNBC refers to as "lost productivity" from the absence of upgrade culture in Europe is actually their failure to understand the thriving circular economy here. Check the growth of @backmarket, for example, or the simple fact that 1 in 3 phones in France is refurbished.

@antoniogm Funny how few people in this thread get the part about it being a proxy war. American Revolution was just a French-backed “pilot program” in Enlightenment politics. Then back in France, folks were like- test worked, enough parlor talk, LFG.

An easy way to get into a fight with Americans is mention that nobody studies the American Revolution, and that the French Revolution has much more world-historical importance than some provincial affair that was really a proxy conflict between then global superpowers.

@TheChiefNerd Every now and then I just come on this website to see rich people awkwardly try to justify their heinous political positions. Chamath feels safer because he’s richer now. @PeteButtigieg

🔥 Chamath Stuns Pete Buttigieg “Can I just say, as the only immigrant right now on this podcast who immigrated here legally, I feel much safer and better under a Donald Trump presidency than I ever did under a Biden presidency.”

@GavinNewsom Unhinged.

This speech should terrify anyone who cares about our country. Declaring war on our nation’s cities and using our troops as political pawns is what dictators do. This man cares about nothing but his own ego and power.

Bullshit. Every lethal political assassination in this US in the past 25 years, until today, has been perpetrated by a conservative.

Tweet the hell out of this

@JDVance Explain please how you can love Jesus and be against empathy?

A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today. Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome." Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too. Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man. When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was. Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him. Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas. Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate. He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family. Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government. I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in. God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly. You ran a good race, my friend. We've got it from here.

@NRO I don’t think someone who is against empathy is going to heaven y’all. It’s like these people never heard of Jesus.

It's a very exciting time in tech right now. If you're a first-rate programmer, there are a huge number of other places you can go work rather than at the company building the infrastructure of the police state.

@Eric_Schmitt Jan 6 insurrection wasn’t exactly peaceful.

The Tesla attacks are getting worse. Arson. Molotov cocktails. Bouts of gunfire. This isn't new. The Left has used violence as a political tool for decades. Only one thing can stop this. In the words of Pat Buchanan: "Force, rooted in justice, and backed by moral courage." 🧵

If you watch one thing today make it this remarkable speech by an independent French senator. It captures the moment @ClaudeMalhuret
