@ArjunHarindran1 @BriannaWu Jews not having their own country? What can go wrong? Are there any other countries you would consider eliminating? No? I wonder why....

@Dan_Barak @BriannaWu I'd like to run that experiment. One Falastin from the river to the sea. How about we try that? Or is this the kind of thought experiment that the mafia bosses run to try and get you to buy security from them?

I’m just about to do a debate on Israel / Palestine. What do you think the strongest arguments are for America’s alliance with Israel?

Karun Pal@karunpal·
I love spending weekends alone. No plans. No people. No performance. No pressure to be “on.” Just me, in my own little cozy world. Quiet coffee in the morning. Watching the sunrise. Longs walks. Reading Tolstoy. Meditating. A little music. A little staring at the walls. Cooking something slow. Watching films. Sitting in silence, thinking about life and all. To some people, that sounds boring. To me, it feels like peace. And honestly, I never regret a weekend that brings me back to myself.

I'm not a fan, but this is 100% correct. But it's not just the press. What about his cabinet pal @DavidSacks spewing Iranian propaganda.
War Correspondent@warDaniel47

🚨BREAKING: SecDef Pete Hegseth stares right at the press and goes scorched earth, spelling out their insanity. I could watch this all day. "You, and I mean specifically YOU, the press, you cheer against Trump so hard, it's in your DNA and in your blood to cheer against Trump, because you want him not to be successful so bad, you have to cheer against the efficacy of these strikes. You have to hope maybe they weren't effective." "Maybe the way the Trump administration is representative isn't true. So let's take half truths, spun information, leaked information, and then spin it, spin it in every way we can to try to cause doubt and manipulate the mind, the public mind, over whether or not our brave pilots were successful." "How many stories have been written about how hard it is to, I don't know, fly a plane for 36 hours? Has MSNBC done that story? Has Fox? Have we done the story how hard that is?" "There are so many aspects of what our brave men and women did that because of the hatred of this press corps are undermined because people are trying to leak and spin that it wasn't successful. It's irresponsible." "You're undermining the success of incredible B-2 pilots and incredible F-35 pilots and incredible refuelers and incredible air defenders who accomplished their mission." "How about we talk about how special America is, that only we have these capabilities? I think it's too much to ask, unfortunately, for the fake news. So we're used to that." Do you firmly support Pete Hegseth on this? A. Huge Yes B. No IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍! MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏

@ailantd @sethbannon My point exactly. I can see that you don't feel this strongly or make such strong statements about any other war or conflict. Why is that?

@Dan_Barak @sethbannon "false and reasonable and just war" And you are still wondering why your propaganda is not working. -It is not false. Most likely an understimation. -It is not reasonable at all. -And it is not a just war in any way (its a genocide).

There’s no excuse for turning anger at the Israeli government into hate or violence against Jews.

@sethbannon To be clear - I'm not accusing you of jew hatred. You simply live in an environment where these numbers and words like "genocide" are simply assumed to be true and pumped continuously

@sethbannon Alright. Great example. This number is both false, and reasonable for such a (just) war when you dive deeper into it. The fact that you (a) simply believe it to be true and (b) care about it more than you care about similar or worse numbers in other wars is because "Jews".

Actually, we shouldn't have building permits at all. Building should work like driving: have reasonable rules. Break them in trivial ways, get fined. Break them in serious ways, lose your license. Hurt people recklessly and go to jail.
Small Cap Snipa@SmallCapSnipa

Jeff Bezos wants AI to approve Miami building permits in 10 seconds: “Miami should have an AI application that reads your building permit and it should give you a yes or a no in 10 seconds. Why does it take months and months and months to get a building permit? It doesn’t make any sense.”

@joeroganhq If you don't go out and have a drink with friends at least once a week on average, you're optimizing the wrong thing.

As Jews, we should encourage, not discourage, blunt expression of antisemitism. So much of our trouble would go away if people could simply openly say "I don't know, man. I just don't like the Jews, you know?"

As an Israeli, I can't join the anti-ICE protests. It feels too much like the bullied kid turning around and joining the mob the moment they decide to pick on someone else.

@paulg Here's how it unfortunately works: 1. First pick an ideology (e.g. party, religion) 2. Look at all events within the ideological lens 3. Explain the evidence with the ideology in mind one thing that could fix this at scale is education. But even ed is viewed with the same lens

Initially I was surprised at people's ability to ignore evidence leading to conclusions they don't like, even with multiple videos of the scene. But then I remembered that 34% of Americans don't believe in evolution.

@garrytan As a YC founder, this is bullshit. There are multiple ways for founders to handle this tax. As AI increases wealth disparity, tech leaders should look for new ways to share wealth with society. The risk of not doing so is much greater than this tax.

This CA “billionaire” tax is an unrealized gains tax. A unicorn startup founder becomes a paper billionaire around $5B val. At YC we avg 2 to 4 per year (!) This will kill startups and innovation in California since a founder is illiquid while instantly on the hook for $100M

NEWS: Larry Page and Peter Thiel are making moves to leave California by the end of the year to avoid a possible billionaires tax that could hit them where it hurts. With @RMac18 + @hknightsf. nytimes.com/2025/12/26/tec…

I predict that @megynkelly will endore some antisemitic viewpoint in the next few days and @benshapiro will have to come to terms with the fact that a large portion of the conservative movement are antisemitic conspiracy theorists
