Things you wonder while watching ASPCA ads: 1. Why are they filming those poor dogs instead of immediately warming them up? 2. Why are they asking for my $18 while they're sitting on $466 million in investments? 3. Why is the ASPCA CEO paid $1.2 million per year? 4. Do viewers realize the ASPCA is unaffiliated with local SPCAs across the country?

Flying @AmericanAir from JFK to Rome in Business class to treat my wife for our 40th anniversary. They just announced we don’t get our reserved meals but, instead, the same pasta or beef options for coach. Someone screwed up the catering order - Unbelievably incompetent

It is very jarring to see President Obama come out of retirement (violating norms!) to record incessant ads for a 10-1 gerrymander of a 55-45 state, when the state's Republican governor who left office only 3 months ago hasn't opened his mouth or deep pockets in opposition.

Really smart piece about Virginia gerrymandering in @realDailyWire by @bdomenech. Where in the world are the Republicans in this? Spoiler: There's someone with a LOT of money who could do something about it dailywire.com/news/yes-virgi…

Also, if you feel called, and we know each other a bit professionally/in real life, and you're able to come into Manhattan, I would be happy to give you the funeral details via DM. I would like to mourn with people, and I would like to have babies and children there especially.

King Solomon died yesterday at two and a half months old. We loved him really well, and we don't have any regrets. We got nine days at home with him after 61 days in the NICU. Nine will never feel like enough, but we must accept what is given to us––we were never in control. Let's take stock of all God's mercies, how He worked through people: My OB, who heard my conviction about carrying Sol to term even with his disabilities, and supported it fully, with empathy and respect; the nurses in the Lenox Hill NICU, where he spent the majority of his time, who loved him so tenderly, like he was their own; his physical therapist, who saw extreme hope for him despite his disabilities, and tried to make it so; my mom, who put her own life on hold to come live in New York with us for the whole winter, to watch Zev and keep our household running; Zev, who wanted to wear matching pajamas with his brother each night he was home (and some of the nights Sol was in the NICU), who was eager to come to the hospital with us to play in the lobby even though he wasn't often allowed in the NICU, who chose not to be afraid of hospitals or tubes but to touch and kiss and snuggle his brother whenever he was able; @nwilliams030 and @rSanti97, who camped out at the hospital during Sol's final days so we would never feel alone, who watched Zev whenever our family had to dip back down to Texas; the people who covered us in prayer all over the country. Perhaps most of all, I'm grateful for my husband: He wasn't Catholic or pro-life when we met, but life experience has brought him to these beliefs. They ground us now; his faith is steadfast. He didn't leave Sol's side during those final, hardest days. He doesn't falter. Something tragic happened to our family, but we won't become permanently sad or dark; we really believe in God's promises. We're called to hope, no matter what, and the best we can do is serve our children with everything we've got. That's what we did, and in the process we got to glimpse the goodness of the Lord over and over again.

After 61 days in the NICU, our Solomon was finally released last week to come start life at home. Thank you for all of your prayers; it was the darkest, scariest, worst two months of my life. But God showed his grace to us in so many ways, and many people banded together to allow me to spend every single day with him in the NICU. We are so grateful to the nurses who loved him like their own; to his physical therapist who is helping him overcome & adapt to his disabilities; to the doctors who performed his surgery; to our priest who baptized him in the hospital; to the friends and family who packed lunches for us, and watched our toddler, and did our laundry, who prayed with and for us and still do. I am grateful in particular for my husband and my mom, who showed me Christlike grace throughout, and for our 3-year-old, who didn't let his joy become dampened by all this fear and sorrow—an example from which we could all stand to learn. "I remain confident of this," Psalm 27 reminds us. "I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living." The Lord's goodness has been shown to us every day of these 61. People sometimes denigrate Christians as just those seeking comfort, needing a story to tell themselves. But yes! We are comforted by the Lord. He shows up for us in all kinds of ways, when we're looking—and when we're not. And He looks after the scared and grieving mother, the sick and vulnerable child, the family in need. He did for us, many times over. And many of you did, too, through prayer and acts of kindness. Thank you.

Remember when the GOP gave Elon Musk and DOGE a standing ovation in front of the entire American people. and then only voted on one DOGE cut, never held anyone accountable, and spent the rest of the year posting about it? This performative bullshit has to stop. Thoughts..??👀

I never would have supported the legalization of marijuana had I known what would end up happening to young people and our cities. I deeply regret it. Every major city and uber in them just reeks of weeds everywhere. It is absolutely vile.

I wrote a 5,000-word essay warning that AI will replace most white-collar jobs within five years. I am the CEO of an AI company that replaces white-collar jobs. The essay is called "Something Big Is Happening." I compared it to February 2020 — the quiet moment before the pandemic arrived. My investors liked that framing. It implied inevitability. Inevitability is the best sales pitch there is because it removes the option of saying no. The essay went viral. Fifty million views. Business Insider covered it. People called it "chilling" and "a must-read." A man in the replies said it made him hug his children. My head of growth said our signups tripled that week. I told her not to post that publicly. In the essay, I said AI is no longer a tool. It's a colleague. I used the word "colleague" specifically because my company sells an AI writing tool that does exactly what a colleague would do, except it costs fourteen dollars a month and doesn't take PTO. We call the product HyperWrite. We have not yet had to explain why someone who sells a product called HyperWrite is warning the world about the dangers of writing being automated. Nobody has asked. I'm not going to bring it up. I used AI to help me write the essay. I want to be clear: I see no contradiction in this. The cigarette executive who smokes is not a hypocrite. He is a customer. When the essay went more viral than expected, I posted a follow-up. "To be very, very clear," I wrote, "I didn't write this to scare people." I used "very" twice because once would not have been enough to counterbalance the 5,000-word essay titled "Something Big Is Happening" that explicitly compared my product category to a respiratory pandemic that killed seven million people. I said it was my "duty" to warn the public. I used a parenthetical — "(those of us in the AI space)" — because I wanted to establish that some of us carry burdens the rest of you cannot understand. We have seen the future. We are building the future. We are also selling the future at a subscription price point, but that part isn't in the parenthetical. Fifteen influencers shared the essay. One called me "an AI OG." Another said the quiet part: "For the few thousand of us here on X and in the bubble, some of this sounds obvious. But there's a whole other world out there that doesn't quite understand what's coming for them." He meant this as empathy. It read like a nature documentary. The company, if you are wondering, is an LLM wrapper. We take a large language model that someone else built and put a text box in front of it. Our primary use case is email autocomplete. I described this in the essay as "a colleague capable of independent judgment." My VP of Product asked if we should update the landing page to say that. I said absolutely not. I closed the essay by telling people to prepare. I did not tell them what to prepare for, because the honest answer is "to become my customer." That felt too direct. So I said something about the world changing and left it vague enough for people to project their own anxieties onto it. The anxieties drove the engagement. The engagement drove the signups. The signups drove the Series B conversation. I didn't write this to scare people. I wrote it to convert them.

OK now explain how she was even invited to be on this commission in the first place
Dan Patrick@DanPatrick

Carrie Prejean Boller has been removed from President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission. No member of the Commission has the right to hijack a hearing for their own personal and political agenda on any issue. This is clearly, without question, what happened Monday in our hearing on antisemitism in America. This was my decision.   The Commission has done outstanding work through five hearings. Two more are scheduled. The testimony has been both illuminating and heartbreaking. Under the Biden Administration, Americans of all faiths had their religious liberty not only stolen from them but were often punished for standing up for their faith, in education, the military, the private sector, and even the ministry.   This spring, the Commission will deliver one of the most important reports in American history directly to the President.   The President respects all faiths. He believes that all Americans have a right to receive the great inheritance given to them by our founding fathers in the First Amendment.   I am grateful to President Trump for having the vision and boldness to create this Commission. Fighting for the Word of God and religious freedom is what this nation was founded upon. Leading this fight will be one of his greatest legacies.   Dan Patrick Lt. Governor of Texas Chair of the President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission

In 2015, two pigs named Henry and Horton were found wandering a road in the US state of Tennessee. At The Gentle Barn sanctuary, staff noticed Henry was keeping his brother alive by bringing him mouthfuls of hay. As Horton grew, his body (bred for rapid meat production) became too heavy for his legs to support. Henry refused to leave him, sleeping beside him until he died. Henry now spends his days comforting new rescues at the sanctuary.
