🇺🇸🇵🇸 Shane Gillis at the Netflix Roast of Kevin Hart calls out Chelsea Handler for being a ZIonist Epstein associate: "Chelsea is a Zionist.. speaking of dead kids, she's a big fan of abortions. Chelsea's been scrapped more times than the grill at Benihana... speaking of tossing tiny shrimp into a child's mouth, Chelsea Handler went to dinner at Jeffrey Epstein's house in 2010. You can look it up, there's articles... Prince Andrew and Woody Allen were there"

"Living in Dallas is the worst." I moved my business here 12 years ago: My kids are in a 10/10 school district. I live on 3 acres with no HOA and I'm only 30 mins from downtown Dallas and 35 mins from DFW airport. I'm within 45 minutes of a 6 different pro sports teams. Every band and touring musical travels here. Countless amazing restaurants. My property has appreciated by over $1m in a decade I'm buying more land 30 mins away in the path of growth for only $12k/acre I can fly direct to Dubai, Bozeman, basically anywhere. No state income taxes. The more you make, the more you save. Strong Christian/LDS family values. Tons of Indians (awesome people BTW). Cheap contractors. VERY pro business. Pretty freaking hot weather but ice cold A/C. :) Youth sports culture is kinda out of control. Property taxes will murder you NGL. Don't like it? Don't move here. I've lived in Houston, too and boy let me tell you...We've got it good here.

I’ve always wanted to circumnavigate DFW via bike, so today I did. Some casual observations about things I saw, did & thought: - N. Dallas is nice, Ft. Worth is nice, and everything in between was very meh - I had a bike lane about 4% of the time - Arlington and Grand Prairie have nothing but auto salvage yards, used appliances, enough Class B - F industrial to make @fortworthchris blush, and a few really nice stadiums - The suburbs are underrated - Name another city with not one, but two world class, clean, organized airports. I rode by both. - The people most likely to sideswipe me are 30-50 year old white soccer moms in minivans and dads in massive trucks (Note: you won’t get there any faster by risking my life) - Aside from the occasional accidental highway detour, and some shady neighborhoods, I felt pretty safe the whole time - I hit the wall at mile 64 but some Doritos and sour punch straws bailed me out by 73 - Maybe the nicest weather day in 5 months - 10-15 MPH Headwind for the last 50 miles wasn’t pleasant - Ft. Worth is classy. Real southern charm. Other cool things I rode by: - Texas State Fair - @HeimBBQ (get the hatch green chili Mac & cheese) - Cowboys & Rangers stadiums (so nice) - 27 auto salvage yards - Manheim auto auctions - 17 shady Ft Worth ambulance chaser billboards - 6 Flags - 7 Chipotles I know cyclists look dumb and hey, we feel dumb, too. But hop on a bike sometime and you’ll see why we do it. Thanks for reading. DFW is pretty cool.

Brian Armstrong@brian_armstrong·
This is an email I sent earlier today to all employees at Coinbase: Team, Today I’ve made the difficult decision to reduce the size of Coinbase by ~14%. I want to walk you through why we're doing this now, what it means for those affected, and how this positions us for the future. Why now Two forces are converging at the same time. We need to be front footed to respond to both. First, the market. Coinbase is well-capitalized, has diversified revenue streams, and is well-positioned to weather any storm. Crypto is also on the verge of the next wave of adoption, with stablecoins, prediction markets, tokenization, and more taking off. However, our business is still volatile from quarter to quarter. While we've managed through that cyclicality many times before and come out stronger on the other side, we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth. Second, AI is changing how we work. Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated. The pace of what's possible with a small, focused team has changed dramatically, and it's accelerating every day. All of this has led us to an inflection point, not just for Coinbase, but for every company. The biggest risk now is not taking action. We are adjusting early and deliberately to rebuild Coinbase to be lean, fast, and AI-native. We need to return to the speed and focus of our startup founding, with AI at our core. What this means To get there, we are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate: rebuilding Coinbase as an intelligence, with humans around the edge aligning it. What does this mean in practice? - Fewer layers, faster decisions: We are flattening our org structure to 5 layers max below CEO/COO. Layers slow things down and create coordination tax. The future is small, high context teams that can move quickly. Leaders will own much more, with as many as 15+ direct reports. Fewer layers also means a leaner cost structure that is built to perform through all market cycles. - No pure managers: Every leader at Coinbase must also be a strong and active individual contributor. Managers should be like player-coaches, getting their hands dirty alongside their teams. - AI-native pods: We’ll be concentrating around AI-native talent who can manage fleets of agents to drive outsized impact. We’ll also be experimenting with reduced pod sizes, including “one person teams” with engineers, designers, and product managers all in one role. In short: AI is bringing a profound shift in how companies operate, and we’re reshaping Coinbase to lead in this new era. This is a new way of working, and we need to leverage AI across every facet of our jobs. To those who are affected I know there are real people behind these decisions — talented colleagues who have poured themselves into this company and our mission. To those of you who will be leaving: thank you. You’ve helped build Coinbase into what it is today, and I am sincerely grateful for everything you've done. All impacted team members will receive an email to their personal account in the next hour with more information, and an invitation to meet with an HRBP and a senior leader in your organization. Coinbase system access has been removed today. I know this feels sudden and harsh, but it is the only responsible choice given our duty to protect customer information. To those affected, we will be providing a comprehensive package to support you through this transition. US employees will receive a minimum of 16 weeks base pay (plus 2 weeks per year worked), their next equity vest, and 6 months of COBRA. Employees on a work visa will get extra transition support. Those outside of the US will receive similar support, based on local factors and subject to any consultation requirements. Coinbase prides itself on talent density. Our employees are among the most talented people in the world, and I have no doubt that your skills and experience will be highly sought after as you pursue your next chapters. How we move forward To the team that is staying, I know this is a difficult day. We’re saying goodbye to colleagues and friends you've been in the trenches with. But here’s what I want you to know as we move forward together: Over the past 13 years, we have weathered four crypto winters, gone public, and built the most trusted platform in our industry. We’ve made it this far by making hard decisions and by always staying focused on our mission. This time will be no different – nothing has changed about the long term outlook of our company or industry. And most importantly, our mission has never been more important for the world. Increasing economic freedom requires a new financial system, and we’re building it. The Coinbase that emerges from this will be more capable than ever to achieve our mission. Brian

I live near a tiny, oddly convenient airport that only had Spirit flights. With Spirit winding down today, those routes are gone. Have to always go to the larger, farther airports now. Rough day for all the workers at that airport, too.
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren

I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblu…

Houston activists shut down a gas station after a clerk forced a 13-year-old boy to use the restroom outside and recorded him. The boy needed to use the restroom so badly that he went behind the building, pooped, and used grass to wipe himself. The employee inside the store recorded it and showed other middle school kids that were stopping in the store while saying things like, "Look at his wee-wee, look at his butt" while they laughed and recorded it.

Breaking Bad star RJ Mitte reveals his accountant was stealing his tax money and it took him 10 years to pay off the IRS “I would write a check to go pay my taxes and instead of her using it to pay my taxes she would send me a fake filing and take that money” “it only took me 10 years to pay it off”

Earth 616@MarvelExrth616·
The connection between Endgame and Doomsday has been sitting in front of us for 7 years At the end of Endgame, Steve went back in time to live with Peggy. Everyone cheered. Nobody asked what that actually did to the timeline. It created a branch that was never supposed to exist. A man who was meant to return stayed. And that decision quietly started breaking the multiverse. Loki found out before anyone else. He visited Steve who was living peacefully with Peggy and their child and warned him the TVA was coming to prune his illegal timeline. So Loki moved Steve and his family to the one universe where they never existed the Fantastic Four's Earth. Steve had no idea any of this was connected to Incursions. He just wanted a quiet life. And for years he got one. Doom had been tracing the source of the multiverse collapse across every universe. Every Incursion. Every world being destroyed. All roads led back to one moment one man in 2019. Reed and Doom found Steve on Earth-828 and explained everything. The man who thought he had finally escaped his duty learned that his one act of selfishness the first truly selfish thing Steve Rogers ever did was the reason worlds were dying. He agreed to come back. Not as Captain America. That identity belongs to Sam Wilson now. Steve returns as himself the one person every hero from every universe still trusts without question. The Endgame re-release in September will reportedly show the missing footage Steve's life after he went back, and how it all connects to what Doom is doing.

Great to see some mainstream media coverage of Tesla Semi: "With a diesel Semi, to go about 500 miles here in California with diesel being $7.66 on avg, you're looking at about $520 to go that distance. But with the @Tesla Semi, one single charge will get you there for $275." DHL thinks the higher upfront cost of the Tesla Semi will be more than worth it over the lifetime of the vehicle with big fuel and maintenance savings.

Tonight is unbearably hard for us in Gaza. The bombing is everywhere around us, and we do not know what to do. We are terrified, helpless, and trying to survive one more night. Please do not forget us. Keep talking about Gaza, keep sharing, and keep us in your prayers.
