@RepThomasMassie @sunnyright Thomas cash it in. Coming from a fan. We need less career politicians. Thanks for your service

@sunnyright Nothing left but a wonderful family, 30 patents, 2 engineering degrees from MIT, a farm with a peach orchard, a herd of Wagyu cattle, a dozen inventions in my head, a clucks capacitor roaming my fields, and investors lined up to back whatever I invent next.

Your reminder that Massie has been living off politics for upwards of 16 years, so it was either this or a podcast because he's got nothing else left
Thomas Massie for Congress@MassieforKY
I filed with FEC for the 2028 House race. This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office. I haven’t made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run.

Jony Ive: Using touchscreens for basic car controls is a 'dumb design' that endangers lives.
"People are dying because of dumb design."
"Multi-touch shouldn't be in a car. It requires by definition that you're looking at a display."
When the man who popularized the touchscreen admits putting an iPad in your dashboard is a deadly mistake, automakers must listen.
I grew up in cars with analog switches, and I miss them. You could operate the radio or the climate control by pure muscle memory while keeping your eyes on the road.
Now, the data backs up that everyday frustration. A University of Washington study proves touchscreens cause lane drifting. Starting in 2026, Euro NCAP will actually strip 5-star safety ratings from cars that refuse to use physical buttons for basic controls.
We sacrificed safe, intuitive hardware for flat screens. It is time to bring the buttons back.

🚨 LOL, Marco Rubio just went full MIAMI mode in Sweden
"There's nothing wrong with this weather. Miami is 95 degrees with mosquitoes and humidity this time of year! But your sunrises are way too early. It's like 3:45 and the sun is up, what's wrong with these people?! It's not your fault."
"Are you from Sweden? You have a great country. This is a great country. This is a beautiful place. Wow. Thank you. I wish we were here longer."
"They keep apologizing to me for the weather."

@disagreebutter AZ got this massive project already two giant fabs going up outside PHX

Instead of building data centers, why doesn't Utah build the things that build data centers? Taiwan makes like 75% of all the world's computer chips, and 95% of its semiconductors.
Let's subsidize the factories that that build the things data centers need the most. Politicians can pay their donors to build it (just like before), we can position ourselves at the forefront of industry that will drive the future, we can make that "defeat China in the AI arms race" talking point real, unscrupulous politicians can buy the land around it to fleece future investors (just like before), we can strengthen our nation by reducing foreign dependence on computer chips, and citizens can put their community's water to a better use than storing the ones and zeroes that track with porn ad has the most clicks.

@Manhattva His goal is to become chief executive in the government of CA so he is running to “steward” everyone else’s money as much as possible
English

As a billionaire yourself,
You are making the argument that the government is a better steward of your money than you are.
That they are more capable of doing the charitable, giving that you self refused to do, and instead spend on campaign ads.
You’re a jackass.
Tom Steyer@TomSteyer
This is bullshit. I promise you. Tax billionaires. Invest in schools.

@maseweb @MKartalaei You need to live in 21 century, Mason. A 5th grader will laugh at your post.

@Write4Republic You ever been to China bro? The real economy is ability to provide goods and services. Chinese are extremely effective at producing these
English

@mjolley22 So hideous. Loveland Aquarium should be charged a tax until they take down this monstrosity
English

@RippleXrpie It’s hilarious that Chinese “leaders” can only speak in pre-planned bureaucratic platitudes. Do they think that’s impressive?

@r0ck3t23 Farmer is a real job. Dog psychologist is not. Now you see the problem
English

Jeff Bezos asked a room to imagine going back a hundred years.
When almost everyone was a farmer.
And telling those farmers that in 2018 there’d be a job called “massage therapist.”
Bezos: “They would not have believed you.”
Then a friend took it further.
Bezos: “Forget massage therapist, there are dog psychiatrists.”
He looked it up.
Bezos: “Sure enough, you can easily hire a psychiatrist for your dog.”
The room laughed.
The point under the laughter wasn’t funny at all.
Every time a major technology shift hits, we do the exact same thing.
We count the jobs it will destroy.
We never count the ones it will create.
Because we can’t.
They don’t have names yet.
The fear is always specific.
AI will replace accountants. AI will replace radiologists. AI will replace drivers.
The fear has job titles and timelines and projections.
The opportunity has none of those things.
Because you can’t name what doesn’t exist yet.
A farmer in 1920 could understand losing his job to a tractor.
He could not understand gaining a career as a social media strategist.
Not because he lacked intelligence.
Because the entire chain of inventions between his world and that job hadn’t been built yet.
Radio. Television. The internet. Smartphones. Social platforms. Creator economies.
Every single link in that chain had to exist before “social media strategist” could even be a sentence.
That’s where we are with AI right now.
Everyone is staring at the tractor.
Nobody can see the thing seven inventions away that doesn’t have a name yet.
The fear is loud because it fits inside language we already have.
The opportunity is silent because it doesn’t.
Every technological revolution in history created more jobs than it destroyed.
Every single one.
Not because anyone planned it.
Because human needs expand faster than machines can fill them.
We didn’t need massage therapists when we were breaking our backs on farms.
We needed them after machines freed our backs and stress replaced labor.
The demand didn’t disappear.
It migrated somewhere no one was looking.
That is exactly what’s happening right now.
The jobs AI creates won’t make sense to us yet.
They’ll sound as absurd as “dog psychiatrist” would’ve sounded to a farmer in 1920.
Until someone is running a $200 hourly practice with a six-month waitlist.
The entire conversation right now is about what we’re about to lose.
Nobody is talking about what we’re about to gain.
Because the gains don’t have vocabulary yet.
A hundred years from now, someone will stand on a stage and describe the jobs we couldn’t imagine today.
And the audience will laugh.
The same way we just did.

🚨 MASSIVE DEVELOPMENT: President Trump reveals Chinese President Xi plans to buy OIL from Texas, Louisiana and Alaska now that the Strait of Hormuz has huge problems
"We're gonna start sending Chinese ships to TEXAS. And to Louisiana. And to Alaska!"
LFG! ENERGY REALIGNMENT! 🇺🇸
"I think that we're gonna make a deal...everything energy. That's the one thing they REALLY need: energy...and we have UNLIMITED energy." 🔥

@davi678911 @marlene4719 Canada won’t exist in its current form in less than 10 years
English

Trump is wrong what he’s saying about Xi but I doubt he actually thinks that. Xi is famously doughy in the physique and has an uncanny likeness to a famous cartoon bear. Personality wise he’s petty, vindictive, and narcissistic, a dictator through and through. He single handedly ended Dengs great legacy of peaceful power transfer and China is worse off for it, a rare unforced error in a legendary decades long run. He’s unpopular with the rich Chinese but they dare not utter their opinion within the borders of the PRC. Economically China is weaker since 2018 since his power grab, and although it’s much larger than Japan and the Asian Tigers is susceptible to the same pitfalls
English

🚨 President Trump just DROPPED this line on President Xi Jinping: "He's tall, very tall, especially for this country. They tend to be a little bit shorter."
"He's CENTRAL CASTING! Even his physical features."
"If you went to Hollywood, and you looked for a leader of China to play a role in a movie, you couldn't find a guy like him!"
"I think he's a warm person actually, but he's all business, there's no games, there's no talking about how nice the weather is, let's look at the stars, let's look at the sun. No, he's all business and I like that and that's a good thing, no games."

@EricLDaugh Chinese pledges mean nothing. They’ve promised similar in the past and reneged
English

Susie Wiles just lit the fuse on the biggest political nuke of our lifetime and didn’t even flinch.
This is the same Chief of Staff who once told Trump his 2020 win was imaginary. Now she’s out here casually dropping, “We’re going to find out he actually DID win” like it’s Tuesday brunch talk.
The mask is off. The inner circle is flipping. The people who used to whisper “move on” are now openly admitting what every awake American has known since election night 2020: this wasn’t a loss ... it was a heist. A filthy, fortified, mail-in ballot stuffing, late-night dump, statistical-abuse masterpiece.
Trump won Florida bigger than 2016. The historical trends screamed he won the rest. But the regime needed him gone, so they manufactured the closest thing to a coup this Republic has ever seen.
Well guess what? The dam is cracking. Georgia’s about to be the first domino to fall, and when it does, the whole rigged house of cards comes crashing down on every corrupt secretary of state, every Soros DA, every fake news hack, and every spineless GOP traitor who spent six years gaslighting the American people.
They didn’t just steal an election. They tried to steal a country.
And now the woman sitting two steps from the Oval Office just signaled the reckoning is coming.
Buckle up, bitches. The truth is armed and it’s pissed.
