NEWS: Bob Costas supports the IOC's decision to ban trans athletes from women's sports at the Olympics. "Common sense is not transphobic...this policy is common sense." The host of 12 Olympic games told @CNNTheStoryIs that trans people should be treated with "dignity and respect," but there's a "reason why there are men's and women's sports." "There is a reason why no trans man who was once a woman and has become a man has ever competed successfully with men in the Olympics." Full interview: youtube.com/watch?v=v6kUgo…
.@CurtMills: "What you're seeing now is an 'Empire Strikes Back' moment of the Bush-wing Republican Party and they're using Trump as a figurehead... It's a MAGA drag act. These forces want to, once Trump leaves the scene,... want to knife JD Vance... and go back to business as usual circa 2015."
IBM built a cloud of suits to make sure the CEO never talked to anyone actually doing the work. @elonmusk does the opposite. "Elon's method is extreme focus on substance. Extreme focus on getting to the truth. In any organization with multiple layers, there's compounding lies. Each layer wants to look good. Each layer puts a little spin on things. If one layer lies to the next layer above it, maybe that's okay. When that happens two or three times, the lies compound. If that happens six times, the lies really compound. If that happens 12 times, the CEO has no idea what's happening. That was IBM. By the time I got there as an intern, I calculated there were 12 layers of management between me and the CEO. They even had a term for it: the great cloud. A cloud of men in gray business suits who followed the CEO around and prevented him from ever talking to anybody who was actually doing the work. When he would come to visit, it was like a visit from the king. A completely impervious bubble. That's the polar opposite of the Elon approach." — @pmarca

A few months ago I asked a strategist who helped elect Fetterman why he so often defied his party. This is what the person said: "I think part of it is the only person who truly has his ear these days is his Fox News watching Republican brother"
