@pmarca More likely: an emotional disorder would cause one to fear introspection 🤔
English
My big conclusion from this week:
Introspection causes emotional disorders.
English
@Brooklynmonk yeah that didn't happen. Denmark conceded nothing. Get off Fox News
English
@MikeLevin Wow and in the end Denmark gave Trump everything he wanted without the US spending a dime. He is the master of the deal.
English
This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America.
Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion.
They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us.
This was not a drill.
This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans.
Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst.
Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends.
The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world. bbc.com/news/articles/…

@carlosecarlos04 @MikeLevin I invite you to Amsterdam to see how it's been "destroyed." Quality of life here WAY above any US city
English
Let me tell you something Mr. Bullshit Politician -
FUCK EUROPE and FUCK NATO. Freeloading bastards - they haven't pulled their weight in 85+ years.
Europe has been destroyed by mass migration/invasion and you and your pals are trying it here in the US -
FAFO - politicians won't be important in the end...

Having traveled extensively in the developing world, I can tell you that a huge % of this 2.7b is more concerned with putting food on the table and not getting malaria than building their capacity for entrepreneurship.
⬇️ helps people like Diamandis more than it helps them.
Peter H. Diamandis, MD@PeterDiamandis
You've got 8 billion potential customers on Earth, BUT... In 2026, only ~5.3 billion have internet access. That means 2.7 billion people still can't access the exponential tools we talk about daily—AI, telemedicine, online education, digital banking. The gap: The missing ~3 billion represent the largest untapped market in human history. Starlink alone now has 10,000+ satellites in orbit (just crossed that milestone yesterday). When connectivity becomes ubiquitous in the next 3-4 years, we're not just adding users—we're adding builders, creators, entrepreneurs. The implication: The next Einstein, the next Elon, the next medical breakthrough might be sitting in a village without Wi-Fi right now. Abundance doesn't just mean "more for current participants"—it means unlocking latent genius at global scale.
English
This doesn't get mentioned enough. Nor that Iran's nuclear ambitions were under int'l control until Trump tore up the treaty @BarackObama negotiated.
Weird journalistic custom to not remind the audience of how we got to the circumstances described in a particular news item.
English
@davidclowery Also: crap graphic design. +: Vinyl has been quite steady the last 5 years, so this fails the "why now" test of journalism. &: "revenue" is a fake metric--of course revenue on CD's was high- they cost $16 when LP's were $9 (I worked at Tower Records 1987-88 so I know)
English
I hate this style chart. It’s not adjusted for population increase. 130 million more people in US now than in 1973. Meaningless to compare vinyl over 50 years.
Enrique Carrier@enriquecarrier
Las ventas de discos de vinilo en EE.UU. superaron los US$ 1.000 millones en 2025 por primera vez desde 1983. Marca no sólo un retorno al vinilo sino también a ser "dueño" de la música comprada. Todo vuelve. sherwood.news/culture/us-vin…

@jeffbercovici I live in Amsterdam, and I've never seen this. So they're also wrong about it being Dutch
English
San Franciscans are wrong, Dutch crunch is garbage bread
The San Francisco Standard@sfstandard
The recipe for Dutch crunch — the crackle-topped deli bread beloved by San Franciscans — is famously secretive. Most delis won’t reveal where they get theirs. So why is one chef baking his own? 📝: Sara Deseran sfstandard.com/2026/03/18/off…

@traestephens @WIRED Yeah definitely let's let the VC's decide how to do journalism. Stay in your lane, bruh
English
1/ During college and early in my career, I would absorb @Wired cover-to-cover on my commute. It is such a bummer that in just a decade, a once-great newsroom has deteriorated into publishing speciously-sourced gossip columns that feel like Gawker 2.0. Why is the tech community still interacting with these people?

@jpodhoretz Disagreeing with Israeli government policy is not the same as anti-Semitism.

Khanna's shameless, shameful and anti-Semitic response:

Ro Khanna@RoKhanna
@jkirchick does a hit piece on me for standing up to the Epstein Class. His real beef with me has been that I have called what happened in Gaza a genocide. I welcome the hatred of Netanyahu apologists. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…
English
@jkirchick has written a devastating piece about the unprincipled ambitions of @RoKhanna--now involving slanders against people he wrongly inserted into the Epstein scandal. In response, Khanna says Jamie is just being a Bibi apologist. Jamie's piece:

@StephenM Republicans killed the last immigration bill, on orders from your boss. Try again.
English
Democrats declared to the world their searing disdain for, and profound disloyalty to, the actual citizens of the United States. They were repeatedly entreated to stand. Over and over. They refused. It was a moment that chills to the bone and which will live for a thousand years.
Scott Jennings@ScottJenningsKY
Moment of the night: Democrats refusing to stand to affirm their allegiance to American citizens over illegal aliens. Will be signature moment of this speech. Trump nailed them.
English
@mattyglesias Google "DAFT treaty". It is much easier for you to move to the Netherlands than France, and there is zero language barrier here unlike Portugal
English
@SenTedCruz This seems at odds with the fact that Trump tore up the treaty that killed their nuclear weapons program. Can you explain?
English
When the Ayatollah chants “Death to America,” he means it.
He is building weapons to try to make that threat real.
The end of the Iranian regime would immeasurably improve the safety and security of Americans.
Jennifer Jacobs@JenniferJJacobs
Iran is "clearly they are headed in the pathway to, one day, being able to develop weapons that could reach the continental US," @SecRubio says in gaggle. He said Iran trying to achieve intercontinental ballistic missiles, and have been increasing the range of the missiles they have now. "It's also important to remember that Iran refuses to talk about the ballistic missiles to us or to anyone, and that's a big problem," Rubio said. He criticized Iran's "blind insistence" on being able to enrich, and enrich in hidden locations. If Iran were interested in a peaceful nuclear program, they'd, like other countries, have above-ground reactors and import the fuel, Rubio said.

Also, how is someone going to sneak out of Costco with 500 rolls of toilet paper?
James Surowiecki@JamesSurowiecki
I love Charlie Munger, but this particular argument for why Costco charges membership fees always seemed deeply implausible. What person who's going to regularly steal stuff from a store is unwilling to pay $50 a year for the opportunity to access a cornucopia of consumer goods?
English
@RichLowry So he deserved to be executed without a trial, is what you're saying?
English
Alex Pretti was an anti-ICE fanatic who was reckless, violent, and driven by a (literally) spittle-flecked hatred of federal agents
That he would, in short order, get into two of these kind of altercations while armed is absolutely insane
It doesn’t change the analysis of the shooting, but it fills in the picture about what motivated him
and about the nature of his “protesting” and “monitoring” of ICE

Mary Margaret Olohan@MaryMargOlohan
The Minnesota Star Tribune confirmed with Alex Pretti's family that the man in this video is indeed Alex Pretti. Filmed by @thenewsmovement on January 13, two weeks before Pretti was shot by ICE:

@adamnmichel Important context: Health insurance in the Netherlands is €258/mo for a family of 4 with a €385 deductible and zero copays, and college tuition is around €2600/yr.
English
It's not just France. This is true across the EU!
Dominic Pino@DominicJPino
France doesn't only tax the rich at much higher rates than the US. It also taxes the middle class more. A LOT more. And the government still can't pay its bills.
English
@Rafa_Mangual The irony here is that they allow illegal aliens to service in law enforcement in California.
English
These are the same people currently pushing bills to allow convicted murderers and rapists to have their sentences reconsidered and calling for investments in hiring programs for felons because “second chances” or something.
New York Post@nypost

@baseballcrank I can introduce you to a few widowers of women who died because of his abortion ban (and were not seeking abortions) who would argue with that

America is better. His place in history is assured.
Carrie Severino@JCNSeverino
Today is the 20th anniversary of the confirmation of Justice Samuel Alito. A strong originalist, he is committed to upholding the Constitution as the Founders intended. The Court is better because of him. civitasoutlook.com/research/twent…

@RyanGirdusky I'm guessing respondents are assuming that the enforcement referred to in the question is being done within the bounds of the US Constitution. Which is not how it's actually being done. instagram.com/reels/DUU_Vjij…

I'm in the first group.
Happy today.
