Surprised to hear that 9% of shoppers in the U.S. shoplift at least occasionally. At some point civilization breaks down when things like this get too out of control.

two kid soccer dad here. nothing is more important than being fit in the first week of camp. if you are fit on day one it shows you have already succeed in the other four items listed above. and club fitness won't cut it in college. you need the most fit your body can possibly be.

Incoming Freshman:
Talent isn't enough to stand out in college. Everyone around you will have ability. Your club success, stats, starts, and stars won’t matter. What will set you apart is your MINDSET and HABITS.
Focus on developing the right habits.

@WallStreetApes it's not dystopian. it's predictable behavior. it's a cost benefit analysis to help the firm maximize profit. fafo for folks demanding higher wages for zero skill jobs.

American shows his local McDonalds no longer wants any interaction with customers, you can’t even view the menus anymore on their main screens
Everything is directed to their self service kiosks
Employee wage requirements went up. So everyone’s being replaced with automation
This is dystopian

California has increased spending by 75% in six years.
Are your bills 75% cheaper?
Are our schools 75% better?
No.
Because the problem isn’t how much we spend — it’s how we spend it. And I’ll only spend taxpayer dollars on policies that actually make people’s lives better.
Plan out tomorrow. Thanks for the conversation @friedberg!

@danshipper good stuff. we do a similar version but with more business focus on the pirate and more of the dev work for the architect. we add a platform crew swabbing the decks for the pairings to account for the horizontal and shared services.
English
new model for engineering team structure in 2026:
2 people only
one pirate and one architect
the pirate's job is to move as fast as possible to develop valuable, shipped product features by vibe coding.
the architect's job is to turn the product surface discovered by the pirate into a reliable, structured machine—also by vibe coding, but at a slower, more well-reasoned pace.
every product needs a pirate but most product's only need an architect once they some form of PMF, and in that case they usually don't need one full-time. architects can work across many codebases and solve interesting technical challenges. pirates go hard on a product that they own end-to-end.

your statement lacks two things: sensitivity analysis and forecasting. in all blue states the top 10% or fewer make up well over 50% of all tax revenues. historically taxes have not targeted wealth or the wealthy beyond reason. the cali billionaire tax proposal will forever change the math.
English
Chamath says blue states "will eventually lose so much tax revenue as to be effectively insolvent." But blue state revenue has been growing faster than red state revenue for the last decade, because most economic growth happens in blue states. Impact of migration is modest.
Chamath Palihapitiya@chamath
We all know what some feel uncomfortable saying: Most taxes are WASTED. They are leaked and grifted into all kinds of programs that sound good on the surface. But that’s the lie that is told so politicians can take more of your earnings and dole it out to win votes and stay in power. But it also turns out that people aren’t stupid and know the game. So the states that admit this by breaking away from the hamster wheel of increased taxation are winning. While those who continue to try and sell the lie are losing. At the limit, those losing states are leaking so much revenue that they will eventually lose so much tax revenue as to be effectively insolvent. Remember this data is just from 2023…we are in mid 2026 so another two years of this trend is already in the books.

@CatoInstitute @David_J_Bier @chrislhayes there is a huge difference between legal immigrants vs illegal immigrants
English
Immigrants are making us more productive and wealthier—and ultimately, that results in more tax payments, says the Cato Institute’s @David_J_Bier. He discussed immigration on “Why Is This Happening?” podcast with @chrislhayes.

In San Jose, our gift limit is $50. In Sacramento last year, lawmakers raked in $1.2 million in gifts and travel. Spa days, luxury golf clubs, box seats — perks that may improve their lives, but not yours. We need to rein in special interests and remember that the only group without a lobbyist in Sacramento is the people.

@ethanagarwal @garrytan @MishalHusain I’m all for it. Tax them. Let’s see who leaves and who stays and pays. Just like NYC electing Mamdani the only way folks will learn is the hard way. So be it.
English
80 seconds worth watching.
It’s infuriating.
@MishalHusain appropriately calls out the key flaw in the wealth tax:
the wealthy leave, and the middle class is left holding the bag.
He answers that the AI revolution won’t happen anywhere else???
1. He’s being trying to do everything he can to slow down AI progress
2. He hates the people building AI
3. He’s not dumb. He knows the AI revolution has nothing to do with the wealth tax, and he has no answer for the real question.
It’s his favorite strategy: criticize wealth to seem populist, lean on others innovation when helpful.
As if he’s done anything to spur innovation in the district.
Infuriating.

China's long range fishing fleet is causing widespread disaster around the world.
This is off the coast of Peru. They don't care, they catch everything and wipe out the local fish population. Poor countries cannot stop them.
China is a parasite.

@GunnelsWarren Whe the robots come for your job you are going to fight for the $8/hr jobs. It’s coming and you cannot stop it.

They want you to believe some undocumented immigrant making less than $8 an hour picking tomatoes is to blame for all your problems while 5 billionaires are racing to become trillionaires by replacing your job with a robot. Wake up and fight back.

@SCMountainGoat He’s clearly benefitting from all the tax payer dollars we are wasting to eliminate homeless, drugs, crime, and so on.

It’s insane how this has become normalized.

Everyone just walks right by him, like this is totally normal.

@ericswalwell Undercut? You mean the other states don’t have crazy unions demanding crazy pay? Get rid of union jobs and the business will return.
English
California built the film industry, we’re not letting it walk away.
The film tax credit, which Governor Newsom more than doubled, is how we keep good union jobs here at home. As governor, I’ll expand it further, strengthen it, and make sure production stays in California.
We’re done letting other states and countries undercut us. It’s time to bring this industry back where it belongs.
Governor Gavin Newsom@CAgovernor
NEW: 16 TV projects were just awarded the @FilmCalifornia Tax Credit, including upcoming seasons of #ThePitt, #ILoveLA, and the first animated and competition shows in the history of this program. These shows are set to generate $1.3 billion statewide and 4,500+ new jobs.
