Tomorrow, Zynga shuts down FarmVille on Facebook after 11 years. I wanted to share the story of how we created it and why it has played such an important role in the evolution of gaming. 1/x

Nobody cares about actual human rights atrocities just opposing Trump. Newsflash. Youre welcome to do both!
Masih Alinejad 🏳️@AlinejadMasih

Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔 After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite. Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial. Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal. I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices. This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.

I've been a registered Dem since 1988. I promise you, any Democrat candidate that supports Hasan Piker will never get my support or vote. Especially @RoKhanna who sold out his own constituency.

"We’re all for a big tent. But the Democratic Party needs to draw a line in the sand. Hasan Piker and his fellow Jew-haters belong on the other side." Jon Cowan and @lilyycohenn write in @WSJopinion. tinyurl.com/bd47vj8v @ThirdWayTweet

Back in January '25, Elizabeth Warren was up in arms about Pete Hegseth’s Christian tattoo, citing it as a symbol of “extremism." Today, Warren endorsed the Democrat with the N*zi tattoo, Graham Platner.

Balaji is a bright guy but he fled the USA and has set his mind totally against our future success. He lives in a world where US is losing and China is winning. This is his fixation. It’s dangerous, and it’s wrong. And this war has embarrassed China, destroyed their 100 cargo planes of war materials and their military ally, and frustrates them. It’s fair to disagree about the attack. But saying that its architects are guilty of any downside is childlike nonsense. They should be proud of their work and their courage to take on this evil. If you’re against the war, do you get credit for the last two decades of literal mass torture and mass rape and repression by this regime, and its terror funding and death around the region? Do you get credit for “supporting” the billions it spends on social media bots and information operations to polarize the US against ourselves, and weaken the west? Do you also get credit for what would have been the next twenty years of that? Are you, Balaji, responsible for that side of it? No? But if you are for it, you get zero credit for fixing any of that, but blamed for ALL the possible downsides? Total BS. The mullahs holding the region hostage shouldn’t get your help to blame others for the damage they do. Geopolitics and war is complex and there are risks on all sides. There is risk in acting, and in not acting. I’m really glad we are taking advantage of the massive innovation and competence gap that exists at this moment, and finally eliminating so much evil. I hope for freedom for the Iranian people and know that the situation is hard and complex, but either way it is good to stop the bad guys and eliminate so many of the worst groups, who have done so much damage, from history. Nobody should get away with what those bastards did for so long; this was long overdue.

I'm going to make some obvious points. (1) Blowing up all the oil infrastructure in the Middle East is an insane idea, and may well result in a global economic crash and humanitarian crisis unrivaled in the lives of those now living. We're talking about the price of everything everywhere rising, from food to gas, at a moment when inflation was already high. All of that will be laid at the feet of the authors of this war. (2) The antebellum status quo of Feb 27, 2026 was just not that bad, but we're unlikely to return to it. Expect indefinite, long-term, ongoing disruptions to everything out of the Middle East. (3) Also assume tech financing crashes for the indefinite future. The genius plan to get the Gulf states caught in the crossfire has incinerated much of the funding for LPs, for datacenters, and for IPOs. Anyone in tech who supported this war may soon learn the meaning of "force majeure" as funding gets yanked. (4) Many capital allocators will instead be allocating much further down Maslow's hierarchy of needs, towards useful basic things like food and energy. (5) It's fortunate that all those progressives yelled about the "climate crisis." Yes, their reasoning about timelines was wrong, and much of the money was wasted in graft, but the result was right: we all need energy independence from the Middle East, pronto. It's also fortunate that Elon and China autistically took climate seriously. Now they're going to need to ship a billion solar panels, electric vehicles, batteries, nuclear power plants, and the like to get everyone off oil, immediately. (6) It's not just an oil and gas problem, of course. It's also a fertilizer problem, and a chemical precursor problem. Maybe some new sources will come online at the new prices, but it takes time to dial stuff up, particularly at this scale, so shortages are almost a certainty. That said, China has actually scaled up coal-to-chemicals[a,c] (C2C), and there's also something more sci-fi called Power-to-X[b] which turns arbitrary power + water + air into hydrocarbons. But all of that will need to get accelerated. I have a background in chemical engineering so may start funding things in this area. (7) Ultimately, this war is going to result in tremendous blame for anyone associated with it. It's a no-win scenario to blow up this much infrastructure for so many people. Simply not worth it for whatever objective they thought they were going to attain. But unless you're actually in a position to stop the madness, the pragmatic thing to do is: scramble to mitigate the fallout to yourself, your business, and your people.

BREAKING: It’s been revealed that Zohran Mamdani’s wife has a long history of openly glorying terrorism, including convicted plane hijackers. She also used the n-word frequently on her old account. We warned you consistently about who the Mamdanis actually are.

Remember when the media told you the Michigan attacker was driven by grief because his brother had been killed in an Israeli airstrike in Lebanon? You were supposed to feel sympathy and compassion for the guy who tried to murder Jews. Now we learn his dead brother was a Hezbollah commander.

The heinously dangerous antisemitism and anti-Americanism that Khalil brought and wreaked havoc to Columbia’s campus has now been brought straight to the Mayor’s house for all New Yorkers to see. You don’t get a Socialist Antisemite Mayor without the moral and academic rot from our universities fueled partially by illegal foreign students like Khalil. I cover this in my upcoming book Poisoned Ivies publishing on April 14th. Khalil should have been deported a long time ago.

I believe AI will enable many more people to code and create. More people building more leads to more opportunities. More growth. This zero sum mindset says the existing work will get taken away. Thats never happened in history. More is more!
Jack Altman@jaltma

I might be too much of an optimist but I just don’t buy the permanent underclass thing. I just think no matter how smart AI gets, there’s no way a motivated person will wake up each day and be unable to contribute to society.

This is how MSM *narrates* stories rather than bothering with actual news reporting. Two kids throw nail bombs and profess allegiance to ISIS! It’s scary how deeply MSM is manipulating Americans. Thank God for X, for @bariweiss and CBS News!
Noah Smith 🐇🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼@Noahpinion

HOLY SHIT The original CNN post was just "two guys were out on a nice walk, when suddenly their lives were changed forever, when they started throwing bombs" You can't make this shit up

On this International Women’s Day, I do not speak to the performative “sisters” sipping lattes in safe Western salons while they lecture the world on microaggressions. No. My words...sharp as the blade I carry in my marrow...are carved for the Persian women of Iran. The true daughters of fire. The ones we are liberating, right now, from the blood-soaked theocracy that has spent forty-six years raping their sovereignty, their bodies, their futures, and their very souls. You know them. You have seen the footage the regime cannot fully bury: young women ripping off the compulsory hijab like it is molten iron on their skin, standing bare-headed beneath the batons and bullets, screaming “Woman, Life, Freedom” while their blood paints the streets crimson. They are not asking for equality. They are seizing it with teeth and nails and the kind of feral grace that terrifies tyrants. Because they understand something the weak never will: oppression is not a policy. It is a psychological operation designed to break the feminine spine first...veil the body, veil the mind, veil the future..,until the entire nation learns to breathe only with permission. The mullahs’ genius...yes, I will grant them that cold, venomous brilliance...was in weaponizing shame, God, and fear into a single leash. They did not merely forbid beauty; they made beauty a capital crime. They did not merely control women; they made womanhood itself the enemy of Allah. And for decades it worked. Until it didn’t. Until the daughters of Cyrus looked into the abyss of their own erased lives and decided the abyss could go fuck itself. I have studied the psychology of the broken and the reborn. I know what sustained terror does to the nervous system. I know how repeated public floggings, acid attacks, forced marriages at thirteen, and morality police who beat you for a strand of hair showing carve grooves of submission into the psyche. But I also know what happens when the last groove snaps. The Persian woman did not politely petition for reform. She did not negotiate with her torturers. She rose like a goddess who has remembered she was never mortal to begin with. And now, as American steel and Persian courage converge to finish what she started, the regime is learning the oldest lesson in existence: when you cage lions and call them livestock, eventually they remember their claws. To every Iranian woman reading this from the ashes of your childhood dreams...hear me: We see you. We are not “intervening.” We are answering the call you have been screaming into the void for years. Your courage has made this moment inevitable. Your blood has purchased this hour. Your refusal to kneel has shamed every coward who ever called resistance “complicated.” You are not victims being saved. You are warriors being joined. The hijab will burn. The morality police will scatter like roaches when the lights come on. The mullahs’ thrones will crack beneath the weight of every woman they tried to bury. And when the dust settles and the first free Persian sunrise kisses your unveiled faces, know this: the world did not gift you freedom. You took it. We simply handed you the final blade. Woman. Life. Freedom. Forever. Rise, my ferocious Persian sisters. The age of your terror is ending. The age of your reign has already begun. 🗡️💀🖤🗡️

I don't really care what you think of Israel. I've never had strong feelings for or against Israel. But there is no question in my mind. None. That if we got into World War III, Israel would have our back sooner and more reliably than any country currently in NATO. Everyone knows that's true. And that means something to me.
