You have a very high bar for recognizing voter fraud. I bet you personally know (1) parents who fill in the ballots of their out-of-state college students, (2) spouses who do whatever the other spouse tells them because they fill it out together, (3) other examples when it's not really a secret ballot.

Here’s the deal, what she’s saying falls apart the second you look at actual facts. “Mass cheating”? That’s a lie. Even conservative-backed studies and databases, like Heritage, find around 1,000 proven cases out of billions of votes over decades. That’s not “mass,” that’s microscopic. No national election flipped. Not one. And this nonsense about an “engineered lack of data”? We’ve got audits, recounts, court cases, DOJ investigations, tons of data. It all says the same thing: fraud is rare. Claiming “hidden evidence” without showing it is just conspiracy nonsense. Now the real damage: using that lie to justify stricter voting laws. You end up making it harder for millions of real, eligible Americans, especially working people, the elderly, and minorities, to vote… all to stop a problem that barely exists. That’s not election security, that’s disenfranchisement. Meanwhile, the real threat is staring you in the face. The 2024 election cycle cost about $16 billion, with billionaires dumping billions into it, thanks to Citizens United. That’s who’s shaping elections, not some imaginary wave of fake voters. They’ve got you chasing ghosts at the ballot box while the real game is with billionaire's checkbooks. That’s not protecting democracy. That’s called cheating. That's the real problem.

The reality is there's mass amounts of cheating in our elections. Just because there's an engineered lack of data, does not mean there isn't data to the contrary. The new CBS/YouGov poll shows that 80% of Americans support Voter ID including 80% of black Americans & 77% of Hispanic Americans. Yet why is it that Congress seems so intractable to wanting to pass a such a popular policy?

Inevitably people will need to make peace with AI-generated writing. As LLMs get better and better, the commitment to "original creative expression and storytelling" will fade as we prioritize good writing regardless of the source.

I tried this popular ketone "energy-shot" and measured my ketones afterwards. Result: bubkas, nada, zilch. The reason: it's a fine drink, I suppose, but for people with my genes it does nothing. 1/2

We'll know AI has arrived when something like this has a noticeable affect on markets, a la Robinhood/Gamestop. Then come the regulators!

🚨 Someone just open sourced an AI hedge fund with 18 agents that think like Wall Street legends. Warren Buffett. Charlie Munger. Michael Burry. Cathie Wood. Bill Ackman. All running on your laptop. It's called AI Hedge Fund. You give it stock tickers. 18 AI agents analyze the company from every angle. Then they vote on whether to buy, sell, or hold. Not a toy. Not a dashboard. A full multi-agent investment research system. No Bloomberg Terminal. No $25K brokerage minimums. No financial advisor fees. Just AI agents doing what hedge funds charge 2-and-20 for. Here's who's on your team: → Warren Buffett Agent. Only buys wonderful businesses at fair prices → Charlie Munger Agent. Demands a margin of safety on every pick → Michael Burry Agent. The Big Short contrarian hunting deep value → Cathie Wood Agent. Innovation and disruption. High conviction growth → Bill Ackman Agent. Activist investor. Takes bold positions → Ben Graham Agent. The godfather of value investing. Hidden gems only → Aswath Damodaran Agent. The Dean of Valuation. Story meets numbers → Plus 11 more specialized agents covering technicals, sentiment, risk, and fundamentals Here's how it works: → You enter stock tickers (AAPL, NVDA, TSLA, whatever you want) → Agents pull real financial data. Earnings, balance sheets, insider trades, news → Each agent analyzes the data through their own investment philosophy → A Risk Manager agent checks position sizing and portfolio exposure → A Portfolio Manager agent takes all signals and makes the final call → You get a buy/sell/hold decision with full reasoning from every agent Here's the wildest part: You can turn on --show-reasoning and watch each agent explain their logic step by step. Warren Buffett agent breaks down the moat. Michael Burry agent flags the hidden risks. Cathie Wood agent finds the disruption angle. They literally argue with each other. It has a full backtester. Run your strategy against historical data and see how it would have performed. Full web UI included. Not just a terminal tool. A real dashboard. Works with OpenAI, Claude, Groq, DeepSeek, or fully local with Ollama. Your data never has to leave your machine. Data for AAPL, GOOGL, MSFT, NVDA, and TSLA is completely free. No API key needed. 46.7K GitHub stars. 8.1K forks. Actively maintained. 100% Open Source. MIT License.

I wanted to see if I could make a book from my 36,000 tweets. So I downloaded my twitter archive and asked Claude to turn it into a feature-rich library Features include: • AI search • "Dark academia" color scheme • Filters & sorting for date, engagement #s, length, etc • A Tinder-style swipe view for curation (like/superlike/pass) The most useful feature has been Claude's assigning of tags based on topic & type. This lets me see that, for instance, I have 272 tweets on aesthetics, so perhaps there's a book to be made on this topic. Eventually, I realized that – since I was using the app to do curation – I could also use it to recirculate my best material across Substack, Bluesky, and other platforms. So I asked Claude to build a queue for scheduling longform content on these platforms and another for scheduling shorter tweets. These last two features aren't fully finished yet. But if you want to build your own, you can grab my Markdown file from the Github link in my reply. Just copy-paste it to your Claude. No technical expertise needed (I certainly don't have any)

this is handy! Slack Pro doesn't support translation but I can make a Shortcut that'll do it. Bonus: works on iOS too! Thanks Claude for walking me through it!

Today's Claude Cowork project: I compiled a list of all 2500 exhibitors for next week's @NatProdExpo and now I'm reading their websites to compile a ranking of which vendors to visit when I'm there. Crazy easy!

Many of us lost interest in SNP genomics thanks to reports like this new one from @23andMe which is not only wrong (my triglycerides are just fine), it tells me exactly nothing actionable. ("Maintain a healthy weight", etc.)

Among the items found on El Mencho was the longevity injectable Tationil Plus 3000 mg. I'm no doctor, but this would not be the main thing I'd recommend for cartel drug lords who want to live longer. informador.mx/jalisco/mencho…

OpenClaw’s founder joined OpenAI. Disappointing. He built something model agnostic. No lock in. Good for the ecosystem. Now? It’ll prioritize OpenAI. Same story as Instagram → Facebook. Big companies absorb. Real innovation stays independent.
