@packyM Ways with the em dashes though?? I never saw these before AI. And I love a good dash... but an em dash? That just screams ai so I don't know why a human would ever use it.

AI writing is taking over the internet. Every fundraising announcement, every X reply, every blog post. It's not just replacing human writing, it's overwhelming it. The problem isn't that AI writes poorly — it's that it writes plausibly. And plausible-but-empty is the most dangerous kind of noise. Here's why that matters: when my brain picks up on those subtle AI tells, I write off whatever you're trying to say — even if the idea itself was good.

@garykoepnick @A2thaR2thaZ @ChopstickBurger @endless_frank @grok No one talks about this. Anyone who thinks the dems had an "open border policy" just hasn't looked into the policies. Not one who elected dems advocates for this. It's not even popular amongst dem voters. Were they more lax than republicans, yes. But again they also deported more

It wasn’t 15M dipshot. Half that. And I agree our asylum laws we’d to be updated. But Biden had no choice. No different than when Trump did the same fucking thing in 2019. Every president has had to do that godamn catch and release bullshit. You do know Biden was using title 42 to limit asylum requests same as Trump was intim he was sued. The. He had to deal with the surges from the. Order being shut down for years for covid. You don’t know shit. You think Biden wanted to deal with that? You people are fucking stupid.

I’m really sick of this shit. I’m a total Trump supporter. Never voted against him. For 6 months now, markets get fucking destroyed on every attempt to rally 1%. I understand that Iran was and is a threat and we need to do what’s right for humanity by neutralizing that threat, but I’m sick of this insider shit. Some large cohort of insiders knew for 6 months what was coming and sold every single fucking rally since. This is not a market, it’s a 3rd world casino and I’m really fucking tired of it. My vote will not EVER be for a democrat. I don’t believe in open borders to criminals, I don’t believe in shoving the LGBTQ flag and transgender’ism in anyone’s faces and I don’t believe in crooked politicians that enrich themselves through fraud LLC’s and NGO’s, but I also don’t believe in is this bullshit that I’m witnessing in markets. Everything is a complete fucking fraud and maybe @TuckerCarlson has a point. The American way has lost itself. There are frauds literally everywhere on both sides of the isle and it’s destroying this country inside out.

@garykoepnick @JMehoff70612 @endless_frank Biden managed to deport far more than Trump is now, & more humanely without getting US citizens caught up in the mix. The net migration in the US was still more than now, partly the dems fault but also a result of structural changes to the system initiated during Trumps #1 term.

@JMehoff70612 @endless_frank 2-3M under that catch and release bullshit that I was never a fan of. Few million gotaways Few million TPS and other humanitarian parole programs You’re fucking delusional and stupid you gullible idiots

@MercuriusFilius @andyantiles_ I just wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss. I lost both parents within a year of each other, reasonable young. Younger than one should be orphaned that's for sure. Life and how you view it completely changes. I'm sure you've made them very proud.

I inherited (the first time) at around the same age (a bit younger), with a fairly similar situation. Fast forward years later, I inherited the second time, the much larger inheritance (e.g. the family office). How to handle it is complicated for many reasons, especially losing both parents. The biggest issue I remember was that everyone was focused on how to spend it so quickly, meanwhile I was in immense emotional pain from loss of a parent — it made me almost hate that money, because it was all people thought about, and it bothered me. It caused me to learn and look at things differently. While there are endless possibilities, I suggest he not rush, and not spend for a period of time. Too many emotions, and too many people with their own motives, can impact and cloud his judgement. I learned that outside people can have bad motives, ideas, and many are all too transparent about their focus — the more wealth, the more of a frenzy they get into with eager ideas of how to spend/invest it. In both cases, it impacted me, but I wish people would have let things settle a bit before throwing ideas at me. It was overwhelming. In each case, I had to take a break for a period of time, to just disappear and process everything. 📌 My advice would be this: - Don't make any decisions right away, there is no rush. - Take time to process the situation. Hide from everyone for a bit, a few months of no contact will help you achieve mental clarity, rather than being a distraction. - Don't spend/invest anything for a period of time, let your emotions calm, to where you are thinking more clearly. Take time. - Don't trust anyone, especially those who try to push ideas quickly. - Don't waste it. Protect it and strive to preserve/grow it. That inheritance is effectively your survival, and is what will save you and protect you for a lifetime. If lost, it doesn't magically reappear. - Remember, wealth is lost and spent faster than people imagine. - Resist spending, put thought into any spending decision, especially the first few years. - Being young, you want to party, enjoy life, and impress girls. Resist that, it's artificial, everything disappears after the moment of spending. It doesn't achieve anything lasting or real. - Financial "experts" are often careless or clueless, and might suggest things to their advantage, or simply bad ideas. Think carefully about anything suggested, especially the first few years, when people often try to be slick in what they suggest. - Assume that anyone with a suggestion, has their own self-interest in mind — and is not always in your best interest. - Especially if other people know (or estimate) the amount, be very cautious. Regardless if whether $30M/$100M/$XXB, understand that public knowledge isn't always a good thing, and can be very dangerous, it's better to be private. - The right investments are critical, and should be carefully decided, where you truly understand the investment, and have researched everything yourself. - Average people get excited by large amounts of wealth, eager to spend, eager to give advice of how to invest. Ignore most people. - Don't spend the principal. - Don't quit your job. There is no need to live off your inheritance. Continue working, especially until you have achieved more wealth. - $30M is significant, but also not enough. - If starting at $30M, your first goal should be $100M, then $1B. - Life doesn't change much over $100M (even over $1B), because you can already afford the best quality of whatever desired. Over $1B starts to be more about scale and options, than quality. However, under $100M (from <$1M to $100M), there are steps in quality of life, and it does change. Under $100M, it's easy to waste and lose it all quickly. At $30M, don't spend like you have $100M/$1B, because you don't. - Always remember: If it doesn't last your lifetime, they you have failed to manage it properly I wish him luck. It's not easy.

Just got off a call with a guy who just got a $34m inheritance from his parents Not in real estate value… Not in stocks… But in cold hard cash. The kid is 23 and makes $200k/year as a software engineer Has no idea whatsoever what to do with this money What would you do with it? Here’s what I suggested (I’m not a financial advisor, and this is not financial advice) Invest $12.5m into $VOO (S&P500 ETF) Invest $12.5m into $QQQ (Nasdaq ETF) Buy a $5m primary residence in cash And with the last $5m, buy section 8 real estate properties. I connected him with the sourcing company I use, and over the next 12 months They’re going to source him 150-180 rental properties This will create enormous tax deductions that will eliminate his income tax for years And he’ll earn ~$600k-700k in annual recurring cashflow And the $5m he puts into down payments will turn into $25m of equity once the federal government pays off all the debt in 30 years Simple playbook to ensuring that $34m turns into multiple 9 figures and true generational wealth

@shawngorham This already looks 10 years old. Honestly the bathroom before and after are no different to me. I'd rip them both out.

This is OC - Laguna Beach is some of the best real estate in the world... this is the competition for units... white and grey??? A hill I will die on - better rehabs = higher rents (in So Cal) For the same rehab costs better material selections could have been made For a little more these units could have been epic My wife has built an entire business around helping investors with rehab material selections

@sweatystartup Somewhere .coms fee alone is $10/hr fyi

My executive assistant who makes $5 an hour in South Africa was really sick sometime last year. It was a nightmare for me. I had to set my own appointments, emails piled up. I had to handle all my travel on a last second business trip. Even had to order flowers for my wife and catch up on some bookkeeping. I was thinking about getting a second executive assistant for $5 an hour just to avoid this exact situation in case one of them is out of work or takes a day or weekend off. Literally can't live without her. Found her through Somewhere dot com. At $5 an hour it is worth having the redundancy.

This Anthropic and Pentagon standoff is not getting enough attention. Anthropic is prepared to walk away from a $200M contract because they’re concerned about how the Pentagon wants to use their tech for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. We are at a dangerous intersection

Former ICE agent: I am duty bound to report the legally required training program at the ICE Academy as deficient, defective, and broken. On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant. I watched ICE cut 240 hours of vital classes that teach our legal system, firearms training, the use of force, lawful arrests, proper detention, and the limits of officers' authority.

- DOGE was a flop - No Tax on Tips/Overtime was pretty much a lie - No $2000 Tariff Dividend Checks - No US Epstein arrests - Grocery Prices have not come down - Obama has more deportations, with less drama - Russia/Ukraine war not over - Drill Baby Drill a flop as drilling is down … What else am I missing ???

I live in Sweden. And I work more than half of my time in the United States. I know both systems — not from headlines, but from daily life. Sweden has a capitalist market economy. Private ownership. Competition. Global companies. We also have social reforms: healthcare, paid parental leave, paid vacation, and social security. This is not socialism. This is not communism. It’s capitalism with guardrails. The market creates wealth. Society prevents bad luck from becoming a life sentence. Our freedoms are intact. Our economy is competitive. And no — this isn’t theory. I live it.

@BillOReilly He's since admitted he saw it and sent it to a staffer to post. Care to edit your tweet?

Turns out that President Trump did not see the racist video that was displayed on Truth Social.  Whoever posted it has to be fired.  The President is trying to solve the Iran thing as well as bring price relief to Americans.  Awful postings like this hurt Mr. Trump’s governance.  Donald Trump is not racist.  His social media team has to get better fast!

Støre, Norway PM: I looked Trump in the eyes and said, 100 km from my border is the world’s largest nuclear arsenal. It is not directed against me, but against you. We monitor those submarines and share it with you. It is plain wrong, to say NATO gives nothing in return. 1/

Wow. It’s really scary watching conservatives suddenly want to 1) eliminate checks and balances 2) eliminate state rights 3) expand federal power 4) openly calling for the President to break LAWS (you can’t send federal troops into states without Governors invitation) which he is tasked to enforce 5) openly calling for the President to defy judges orders Whatever you are - you aren’t for “Law and Order”, not pro-Constitution, not pro-America.

@British_Airways The MCT is a guide on how long it might take me to connect from one flight to another. By bumping me based on MCT but still allowing passengers who havent even arrived at the airport yet (checked in online) to make it to the gate undermines BAs reasoning for bumping me.

@BenJStone We're sorry you remain unhappy, but flight connections do have minimum connection times. Comparing a flight connection to travel on a non-connecting flight would have no relevance. If you wish to submit a complaint, please use the link provided. Cody

@British_Airways prematurely cancelled our connecting flight, deciding we didnt have time to make the gate. We had 1hr 10 mins! AND the next flight was delayed anyway. We were ready to run. We 100% would have made it. Check-in was still open when they cancelled us. Denied claim.

@British_Airways If I had arrived at the airport as a passenger just taking the second flight an hour before departure, I would have still been able to check in at the desk and been allowed to try and make it the gate in time. Why is arriving from a connecting flight any different?

@BenJStone We're sorry to hear about your experience. However, 1hr and 10 minutes, is not a suitable connection. If you wish to submit a formal complaint, please use the following link: britishairways.com/content/inform… Cody
