Senator Blutarsky

Of all the headlines in the news, it's surprising this one isn't getting more discussion. Weird a virus of this nature arrives when the world has a demographics and global finance problem of this magnitude. How has technology changed politics? washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jan/…

@RampCapitalLLC Parents had one as a kid. High school it was referred to as “Vangina”

I’ve never wanted something so bad in my entire life

@davepl1968 Dave out there doing the lords work. Bless you

I just bought a 12,000-mile original-mile 1970 Lincoln Mark III. It comes from the estate of this man: J. Tuttle. Mr. Tuttle was a network engineer for Bell Telephone for 42 years. He never missed a day - literally - in those years. Not once. Perfect attendance, they say. He retired as Chief of Network Maintenance for Bell. He oversaw ~3 to 5 central offices in San Antonio. He was the manager responsible for the cutover of USA from the old switchgear to the new SS7 switchgear. He custom-ordered his Lincoln in the fall of '69, and because he was an engineer, I still have his planning paperwork. Then he washed, waxed, and maintained the car for decades, where it saw the occasional Sunday drive and family road trip. He passed away a couple of years ago now, and the car went into a collection of very low milage cars, which is where I had a private detective locate it. And now I will pick up where Mr. Tuttle left off. I hope I do him proud.

@pmarca American government is one giant social insurance company bundled with a powerful military. We have a bazillion social insurance programs for people and corporations etc etc

Overheard in Silicon Valley: "UBI is for farm animals."

I have three sons. Here’s a bit of what I’ve tried to teach them... sometimes pedantically, usually by example. Sometimes imperfectly. Summarized from a longer handwritten version. Curious what you’d push back on as being outmoded or even counterproductive. With ASD, I'm not immune to blind spots, so feel free to clue me in! Take out your AirPods when someone speaks to you. ↳ Muting doesn’t count—give full attention; at least one out, both for longer conversations. No phones in locker rooms, movies, meals, or quiet public spaces. ↳ No scrolling, filming, or calls—cameras (and camera glasses) make people uneasy. Using your phone = ignoring the person you’re with. ↳ Do it sparingly, if at all, depending on the situation. Wipe down gym equipment. Rerack weights. ↳ Leave it better than you found it—put your toys away, pay it forward. Return things better than you got them. ↳ Borrowed cars come back clean and full—no “normal wear” on others’ property. Use headphones in public. No speaker audio—ever. ↳ Silence notifications; your noise shouldn’t leak into planes, trains, or waiting rooms. Stand to greet people at a table (when practical). ↳ Acknowledge arrivals—same for guests joining your table or party. Learn a proper handshake. ↳ Medium grip, full interlock—confidence without turning it into a contest. Hold doors. Walk curbside. ↳ Help anyone who needs it—small protective gestures still matter. Offer your seat to those who need it. ↳ Do it quietly—no virtue signaling, just awareness. Listen more than you speak. ↳ Ask questions, remember details—don’t fill silence just to justify being there. Your word is everything. ↳ Be precise and truthful—if you fail, give early notice and a real apology. Use “please,” “thank you,” and names. ↳ Learn names when appropriate—“uh huh” isn’t courtesy. Be direct. Vague texts waste time. ↳ Clarity beats ambiguity—details and alignment prevent most problems. Apologize cleanly: specific, sincere, no excuses. ↳ Don’t confuse explanations with excuses—people care what you’ll do next. Plan dates clearly. ↳ Offer to pay (or set expectations), and check they got home safe—no scorekeeping. Consent always. No ambiguity. ↳ No means no, stop means stop—intoxicated people can’t consent. Protect yourself. ↳ Assume fertility, know the stats—don’t gamble until trust and testing are real. Send thank-yous. ↳ Texts are fine; handwritten notes for bigger things—keep cards and stamps handy. Avoid heavy topics early. ↳ Sex, politics, religion, etc.—earn that ground first. Dress slightly better than required. Better over than under. ↳ Clean, trimmed nails—basic grooming isn’t optional. Keep your space and car in order. ↳ Start the day with one small win—discipline compounds. Carry cash. Tip well when service is good. ↳ Know norms—be generous, especially to people who show up with effort. Cough/sneeze into your elbow. ↳ Quietly and covered—basic hygiene still matters. Don’t run in public unless necessary. ↳ Walk upright with purpose—act like you belong (even if you’re figuring it out). Handle civic duties promptly. ↳ Things like Selective Service—simple responsibilities, no excuses. Take your shot in life! ↳ You miss 100% you don’t take—applies to sports, work, life, mating, and everything else. I mean, check out your mom!

@SantiagoAuFund Found the plan

For those who think the U.S. does not have a plan with regards to Iran, pls answer this one question: If the U.S. has no plan, then why did Iran spend the last 40 years preparing to counter the U.S.'s plan...?

@merlinscapital I kinda like him more now honestly

Kash Patels PORN account has been leaked to the masses

@howardlindzon @EpsilonTheory

It’s a perfect storm of deglobalization, degeneracy, debt, int rate direction , unserious people, negligence, fraud and bad leadership

@joeroganhq Agree. We lost a legend in 1997. Tony Robbins doesn't have shit on Matt Foley

Seriously, what’s the point of fighting a war where we are helping Iran and Russia export expensive barrels when our actual allies get their facilities bombed…??

@pmarca Marc putting the heat to snowflakes and I'm here for it

Introspection = neuroticism x narcissism x thumbsucking.

A default “via inflation” is not a default. For it to be a default the underlying contract would have to stipulate that the money received in the future has the same purchasing power and the money lent today. If that is not stipulated…there is no default.
