@TooGooden17 Dear Hal,
As a lifelong Yankee fan allow me to say, with all due respect for your interest in facial hair, please sell the team to someone who is interested in the game of baseball.

The Silicon Valley Billionaires Who Have Designed Our World Have Planned Their Escape
Many have their survival bunkers, private jets, and New Zealand citizenships
Or in Zuck's case, Hawaii
Mark Zuckerberg's compound on Kauai covers 1,400 acres.
Underground tunnels connect the main structures. An 18-foot water tank with its own pump system. (Pictured below)
Five thousand square feet of underground space.
The doors aren't standard security.
They're metal filled with concrete, designed to resist blast waves.
Escape hatches accessible by ladder.
Self-sufficient energy systems.
Self-sufficient food production.
A 6-foot wall around everything.
Workers sign strict NDAs.
Those who mention it on social media are fired immediately.
Cost: $270 million.¹
Peter Thiel bought 477 acres in New Zealand.
Secured citizenship through an "exceptional circumstances" clause anyway.
Later called it "a backup plan in the event of a pandemic or global societal collapse."²
Reid Hoffman said it became code among Silicon Valley billionaires:
"Buying a house in New Zealand is kind of a wink, wink, say no more."³
Between 2015 and 2017, seven Silicon Valley entrepreneurs purchased underground bunkers and installed them in New Zealand. Average price: $3 million.
Luxury models with shooting ranges and theaters: $8 million.⁴
Sam Altman was more direct. In 2016, he disclosed his stockpile:
"Guns, gold, potassium iodide, antibiotics, batteries, water, gas masks from the Israeli Defense Force, and a big patch of land in Big Sur I can fly to."⁵
The potassium iodide is for radiation. The gas masks are military-grade.
The threats: lethal synthetic virus, AI attacking humans, nuclear war.
Ilya Sutskever, former OpenAI chief scientist, proposed building a bunker for OpenAI scientists before AGI release.
Quote from internal meeting: "We're definitely going to build a bunker before we release AGI."⁶
Bryan Johnson sold Braintree for $800 million.
Now spends $2 million annually on anti-aging.
In 2023, he extracted one liter of blood from his 17-year-old son and infused the plasma into his own veins.
The vampire metaphor became medical procedure.
Performed on family. At extraordinary cost.
Hoffman estimated more than half of Silicon Valley billionaires had purchased "apocalypse insurance."⁸
They built Facebook.
They built PayPal.
They built LinkedIn.
They built OpenAI.
They built the systems that shape how billions of humans communicate, work, and think.
They understand technology's trajectory better than almost anyone alive.
And metaphorically speaking, they're digging their own graves

@MikeSalvatore10 Crushing. Winning four in a row in the era of free agency would have been exquisite.
Also, on retrospect it’s painful
to know that the Yankees lost in 97 and 01 due to mistakes by Mariano Rivera.

What’s the most depressing sports moment you’ve ever experienced

@miles_commodore You are presupposing that all baseball writers are democrats.

@OliLondonTV I predict that one day the young influencer who made this video will, of her own free accord, come to regret that she did. Or, at least, I hope so.

@SlangsOnSports Happy Birthday, Sarah Langs! Baseball is the best and you are part of what makes baseball the best!

This is radical fascist language and we would recognize it as such if instead he said “there cannot be peace with the Jews because they don’t believe in Jesus”.
gato fumante@KweenInYellow
"Of course we say it's our land, the Torah says it. But [the Palestinians] don't believe in the Torah. So, that's the reason there is not peace." Saying stuff like this out loud should be disqualifying.

America is not going bankrupt, the 22% of seniors trying to survive on less than $15,000 a year & the 50% of older workers with no retirement savings are & the richest man alive will make it worse by slashing half of Social Security’s workforce so that he can become even richer.

ELON MUSK: "The reason I am putting so much effort into this is that I think it is a very dire situation. It's not optional. America is going bankrupt and that just can't happen."
