@devops_daddy They traded Mookie Betts over a year before private equity arrived. Try again.

@danprimack they have investors and they use it as an excuse to penny pinch. any real fan of the sox see this playing out in real time. they spend significantly less than they use to and don't retain players they develop now like Betts and Devers. It's so obvious....

This is just so dumb.
Does private equity have a very small piece of the Red Sox? Yes. Does it have control? No. Same majority owner for over two decades.
Plenty of good faith critiques against PE. (and the Sox). This isn’t one of them.

Private equity is taking our homes. It's taking our hospitals. It's taking beloved local businesses and stripping them for parts. And now private equity is running the Red Sox into the ground. Our new ad ⬇️

The S&P 500 is at an all-time high while Consumer Sentiment is at an all-time low.
We've never seen a gap this wide between Wall Street and Main Street.

“It’s been an excruciating 23 hours without being on TV.”

Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan. Appearances by Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Steve Buscemi.

When a bunch of tech elite endorsed Trump in 2024, they carefully avoided his interest in cutting back on legal immigration.
When pressed, they’d say he didn’t really mean it.
Homeland Security@DHSgov
An alien who is in the U.S. temporarily and wants a Green Card must return to their home country to apply. This policy allows our immigration system to function as the law intended instead of incentivizing loopholes. The era of abusing our nation’s immigration system is over.

Unicorn inflation:
@eringriffith and I did a cover story for @FortuneMagazine in early 2015 about startups worth $1 billion or more.
$1 billion in 2015 is $1.4 billion in 2026, meaning the unicorn bar should be reset.

Can someone explain why -- from the perspective of the New Antitrust crowd -- there isn't more concern about integration of Model and Inference?
If (theoretically) labs can learn about their clients' business from usage, couldn't that pose competition risk a la Amazon Basics?
asad ramzanali@asad09
Glass-Steagall: I think you misread it. I propose separating software (models, apps) from hardware (chips, data centers), not model-inference. AI models w/ $Bns of rev. are causing $Tns in capex. They’re cross-financing; structural separation could force better risk management

Email of the day: "Yesterday a colleague and I debated how old you are before looking it up.
Then today's newsletter had a Lee jeans ad and a Ferris Bueller reference. If you'd done that a day earlier, you would have saved us some time."

Per Axios Pro's @Ryanbarwick on Estee Lauder/Puig deal breakdown:
"A big hurdle was a contract issue with Charlotte Tilbury ...She had a change of control clause in her contract with Puig that allowed her to renegotiate terms of her deal. Estée wasn't willing to pay the difference."

BEHIND THE CURTAIN: TRUMP'S UNPRECEDENTED PROFIT AND PROTECTION
🗳️ Imagine America put these questions to a public referendum:
1. Presidents and their family members, unlike other U.S. citizens, shall be granted lifetime immunity from federal audits and criminal investigations of their past tax returns.
2. Presidents and their family members can maintain active ownership of global business empires, profiting when government decisions directly benefit those specific businesses.
3. Presidents, while in office, can maintain massive personal crypto and stock portfolios that buy and sell hundreds of millions of dollars in industries directly regulated by their own administration.
How would you vote?
It's hard to imagine more than single-digit support for any of these. Yet Trump is doing all three and paving the way for future presidents to do the same. axios.com/2026/05/22/tru…

I am thrilled to announce my return to a16z as a full-time General Partner. Having made a full recovery from cancer and navigated some of life’s most taxing personal hurdles, I am returning with a sharpened sense of purpose and a deep optimism for the future, both personally and professionally.
My time away reinforced that living to one's fullest capacity requires doing what you love with the people you trust. While I’ve continued to support my boards and founders, I’ve realized my greatest impact happens when I am 'all in.' I believe he current pace of innovation in infrastructure is unmatched, and I couldn't be happier to be back in the trenches with my colleagues and close friends on the a16z Infra team.
