Fun update: I got tired of disliking every email client I’ve ever used and built my own. It’s called Exo (for exoskeleton). It’s Claude Code for my inbox. It manages my inbox for me, and it’s open source. Link to repo + some notable features in thread!

Everyone in this race is progressive and says the T needs more funding. That's true, but not enough. GLX opened after 32 years, then shut down almost immediately because the $2.3B track was built too narrow. We need to build gov capacity and show liberals can deliver.

This is misleading. This policy redefines the term "interactive" to mean "using an Anthropic front-end". If you use `claude -p` or Agent SDK to do something interactively, it now uses credits, not your subscription limits. So the "interactive use" heading saying "unchanged" subscriptions is not accurate.
Lydia Hallie ✨@lydiahallie

To add some clarity: you don't pay extra. It's the same subscription, same price per month. What's new our sub now covers two separate pools: · Interactive → sub limits, unchanged · Programmatic → new $20–$200 included(!!) credit, metered at API rates

unfortunately, as im sure you've experienced first hand, a lot of the biggest wins are when you're right and others are wrong. very little about being a startup founder is about optimizing for a high probability outcome. that's especially true when investors nearly uniformly reject companies while saying mostly positive things. obviously if they say "hey man your slides sucked" you should fix those but that's pretty rare.

@agupta Don't disagree with anything there, they are all possibilities. But if/when it's 100/100 I wouldn't advise assuming it's one of those, vs. thinking they collectively might have a point. (A lot of this depends on the reason behind the "no" obviously)

there are tons of reasons investors don't fund ideas even if you're onto something. you might just talk unconfidently or make bad slides or be ahead of the curve. also investors say yes a much higher rate once you have at least 1. which implies they are in general not objective arbiters of idea quality. none of these things make investors dumb it's just psychology.

It’s chicken and egg. If you can get users to want it, then you’ll get the investors. If you can’t get the investors, then it’s logical to assume you can’t demonstrate user demand yet, and you’re therefore asking for a massive bet from the investor. If 100/100 of them aren’t willing to take it, then it’s probably best to re-examine your idea. Do you disagree?

Big Tech shills whining about @GavinNewsom appointment of @ChopraUSA get it backwards: little tech is the force that makes California’s tech economy dynamic, envy of the world. Brin, Zuck, Page, Cook have turned their backs on California while sucking up to the White House.

@GooniesIL @ArielSterman i see so your new position is that the israeli government checked 100% of the claims and found 0 rapes occurred? while in a prison presumably on camera? and 100% of these people are making it up?

@agupta @ArielSterman In the US, do police publish filmed rape evidence for independent journalists to investigate? Is that trivial anywhere?? This claim is bizarre. It feels like it comes from dehumanizing Israelis, where we’re automatically seen as untrustworthy and facts don’t matter

Horrific.
Nicholas Kristof@NickKristof

This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: nytimes.com/2026/05/11/opi…

uh....yes? that's the literal point of this article. it's titled the silence that meets rape. plus the non-sex crimes seem to have extremely little prosecution too. it's striking for the level of testimony of sexual crimes occuring in places covered with cameras that there are zero convictions or transparent investigations. would be trivial to release camera footage of the prisons or make it available to independent journalists.

@agupta @ArielSterman Have you considered that no indictments may mean investigations didn’t support a case? Israel does indict soldiers for crimes, including during this war. Are you arguing there’s a conspiracy to ignore sex crimes specifically, while prosecuting other abuses?

@paulg not everyone on the left, but definitely the mainstream california left yes. the sane voices and action-takers on this also often come from the left eg @realBurhanAzeem

It's so weird how difficult it is for the left to understand that all you have to do to decrease housing costs is to let people build more housing.
M. Nolan Gray 🥑@mnolangray

For 45 years, Berkeley built virtually no new housing. By the mid-2010s, it was the most expensive college town in America. Shortly thereafter, YIMBYs took over and kicked off a building boom. Today, nominal rents are below 2018 rates—remarkable progress on affordability.

@GooniesIL @ArielSterman ah yes the one example that is always shown. could you find an example that was sexual violence, and how long was the perpetrator sentenced for? the example you showed above was non-sexual violence and only 7 months. he also wasn't even fired he was just demoted.

@agupta @ArielSterman Israeli police / IDF do investigate cases like this. Can they do a better job? Yes. But saying “never” is just false. This is one example, and there are dozens of others. I fear you’re too deep in your echo chamber to see that. idf.il/268464

@GooniesIL @ArielSterman we can't figure out the "if true" if the government refuses to investigate it you cant say its not true and then also be chill about a government literally never investigating transparently.

@agupta @ArielSterman Could happen, and if true, tragic. Abuse happens in jails across the US too. It should be investigated if evidence with credible sources supports it, and ppl held accountable. But portraying this as official Israeli policy training dogs to rape? Seriously? deranged

@GooniesIL @ArielSterman is your position that zero israeli prison guards have committed sexual violence? bc that is the position of the israeli government and it is refusing to investigate further.

HonestReporting@HonestReporting

1/ The @nytimes just published one of the most serious sets of allegations imaginable against Israel – claims of systematic sexual violence, including a bizarre story about carrots and trained rape dogs. We checked the sources. What we found is journalistic malpractice. 🧵

@agupta @ArielSterman the burden of proof is on the journalists who published it. If you read through it and dig in, you understand its based on Hamas linked operative and random twitter accounts. that's why its an opinion piece btw. no legal obligation to check sources
