The 1989-1991 Millennial Bulge cohort experienced our whole childhoods from the Super Nintendo (1991) to the GameBoy Advance (Summer 2001) as a time of unprecedented stability & prosperity that felt normal It's hard to explain to zoomers & gen alpha what it was like

@highbrow_nobrow I spent summers around Gerry Spence in his late 80s. Some days he could summon the magic for 4, 5 hours. A trial at that level? Nah 1-2 days with a partner on national TV? He'd give every ounce he had left for the chance. We may see levels of oratorical sorcery thought lost.

Whether you like the Clintons or not, President Bill Clinton was among the most gifted politicians of his generation. It is highly plausible that he and former First Lady Hillary Clinton will outmaneuver Republican lawmakers, given the stark gap in political skill between figures like the Clintons and members of Congress such as James Comer or Jim Jordan. This strategy by House Republicans could ultimately backfire, leaving them in a weaker position, because Bill Clinton’s ability to command a room is rare in modern political history—a defensible assessment grounded in his record.

I have called for the full release of the Epstein files. I have provided a sworn statement of what I know. And just this week, I’ve agreed to appear in person before the committee. But it’s still not enough for Republicans on the House Oversight Committee.

Data centers are now one of, if not the most, contentious issues we're tracking at city councils and county boards. Funds and operators are starting to get serious about local and state government affairs staffing.

Shoutout to Jesse Josephs, am independent local journalist, for breaking this before any Memphis or Nashville reporters. Whether the AI bubble pops or not, there is so much money rushing around that a lot of communities are going to get steamrolled by to good to be true plans.

Product names that could have been a school lunch menu. I assume they were re-packaging cheap chips as AI ready. Employees "we don't work all that much til investors show up". They've missed payroll for a few weeks now, and now TBI is finally on the scene.

The small town I grew up in TN has been overrun by a "hybrid decentralized AI edge cloud" company. Dozens of employees in a fleet of Broncos. Numerous properties with seller financing. Wined and dined foreign investors at a hunting lodge. Even started a school recently.

This harvest in TN, IL, & KY I keep wanting someone to buck the million $$$ Deere fleets. Open source mapping, Starlink, cheap sat imagery, lower robotic and sensor costs. Some redneck somewhere must be retrofitting a fleet of '80s Cases to run autonomous, 24/7. It's doable.

🇨🇳 China's fully self-driving electric tractor, the Honghu T70. It can handle the *entire farm cycle* from plowing to sowing to care to cropping, while collecting real-time data on soil conditions. It's already hard at work in the fields of Hebei and soon in the whole country.

Solar savings are even making it to rural West Tennessee. Local electric co-op saved $98k in July from first month of a solar deployment.

Learned recently that the communities around where I grew up had 7-12%, similiar at suppliers, of folks employeed in commercial generator production going into 2000. Thank you random Caterpillar exec from 1996 going all in on Y2K fears. We should have a statute to honor you.

If you're building in enterprise data/saas and your product has a search feature... take ~30 minutes to log those into a 'searches' slack or spaces channel. What's being searched for between 7-11 on Sunday night drives the conversation/deal the next week.

The Coldplay concert meme was the talk of the crowd amongst retirees at the walking horse show tonight. It was taken as common knowledge that even folks over 80 without facebook were fully aware of it. Wild to be alive when a meme saturates the entire population in ~36 hours.

Govtech PE roll ups cost dozens of lives in hill country (plenty of blame to share). As rapid climate change worsens I'm sick of "thoughts & prayers" where there's room for action. If you're working on local/regional govtech <> climate I'll help you as much as I can.

I've started tossing in "send FDR or Teddy's spirit back if you get a chance" when I end quiet moments.

Apparently it's a meme in Russia to refer to the vestiges of the Soviet aerospace programs as the remains of an ancient advanced civilization

I've mentioned this before but a basic civic edication in the United State should include reading the chapters in the PATH TO POWER in which Caro describes what it was like to live in rural Texas before LBJ got the money to electrify it

Sitting through a thunderstorm and reminded how many screened in porches LBJ's childhood home had. 3, maybe 4. It's architectural malpractice how seldom you see homes built around or inspired by them now. Almost always an after thought.
