🚨 Announcing our plan for workers and small business:
- No Tax on Tips California. Newsom and the Democrats REFUSE to implement for state taxes; I WILL!
- Abolish $800 Small Business Tax. Why should you pay this tax just for EXISTING?
- First $100k Tax Free. 9.3% tax rate is outrageous and will be ABOLISHED. No state income tax on earnings below $100k.
Proud to announce our plan for workers and small business w/ my Lt Gov running mate @GloriaJRomero at Casa Brunch, Downey.

If you used a Claude subscription with OpenClaw, read this:
Unfortunately all other AI models out there absolutely suck with OpenClaw compared to Opus
It's just a fact and anyone denying this is delusional
So here is my new recommended OpenClaw setup:
Pay for the Opus API and use it as your orchestrator
Then use other models as the execution layer
If you do this correctly, yes your costs will go up, but not by as much as you think
I use my ChatGPT subscription as the coding execution. GPT 5.4 is excellent at coding. When The Opus orchestrator gives a coding task to the ChatGPT subagent, it always performs really well
If you are on the Pro plan, you should have enough usage to have ChatGPT be the execution layer for every task. But if youre on the $20 a month plan, youre going to need other subscriptions to handle other tasks
GLM 5.1 and Qwen are excellent. I'd get a cheap sub through them and have them handle all other tasks given to them from the orchestrator
The best setup tho if you have the hardware is Opus API for orchestrator, ChatGPT for coding, then local Gemma 4 and local Qwen handling everything else.
Right now have Gemma running on my DGX Spark and Qwen 3.5 on my Mac Studio. They handle all other execution from my Opus API orchestrator
Unfortunately all options above will cost more than the $200 a month subscription. It just is what it is. But if you optimize correctly it wont cost much more, and you'll still get frontier performance.
OpenClaw is the most powerful piece of software ever released. $200 a month ($2,400 a year) was a steal for a digital employee. Honestly anything under $50,000 a year is a no brainer if you run a serious business.
The situation isn't great but you also need to face reality: Claude Opus 4.6 is the best model for OpenClaw. If you use any other model, your productivity will suffer
Business is a battlefield and I refuse to fall behind, so despite me not being happy with the Anthropic decision the setup above is what I'm going with
Virtue signaling might get me brownie points on the internet, but it won't increase my productivity

There is a growing new trend in Japan, it’s called Butsukari Otoko, it s type of physical assault towards women in crowded places like the street or train stop. Usually it’s men that do it but a growing number of women are now joining in the trend as well. The purpose is to perform Chikan which is deliberately ramming into a woman and making it look accidental. It’s supposedly used to relieve frustration or annoyance against cellphone users. When this happens it’s getting harder to press charges because they mean to make it look accidental so it’s hard to tell who is doing it deliberately and who is doing this intentionally, either way I feel children should be off limits, accidental or not, with this new trend should this be charged regardless of intent when kids are involved?

@BlueBoxDave I’m guessing you didn’t go to school in California in the 90s

@BrianRoemmele This footage is no earlier than 1941, judging by the packard.

@DudespostingWs Japan has a long history of cultural appropriation, to make uniquely their own.

@elonmusk @grok Here’s an example where grok hallucinated a passage from a book I was trying to remember and then told me I was wrong when I gave it the corrected passage from the hard copy version. The grok version does not appear in ChatGPT or if you google it.
