Andreessen makes it clear -expects presidential attention -getting since he was 23. Given the number of times Andreessen & Horowitz make refs. to various meetings with various pols, it's easy to get the impression -mostly insulted -they're being treated like ordinary constituents.
Looking at a simple trade against personal liberty -abortion, the rights of gay & trans ppl & possibly democracy itself -IN FAVOR OF #crypto, #AI, & a tax policy they like better.

@ScottSoCal Yes, itβs so terrible. And he just dismisses the fact that his child was suicidal as if it wasnβt really true because of his own feelings about her transition. What a horrible person.
I know everyone has their thing. That one book they're crazy about. Mine happens to be Dennis E Taylors Bobiverse series. I cannot tell you how much I want to be a Von Neumann probe, fired far out into deep space beyond the Oort Cloud and away from all of this. Just replicant versions of myself to chat with in a VR pub. Much like how I treat Fedi.
Anyway - should anyone be interested.... there is finally a release date for book 5 (Not Till We Are Lost) - Sept 5 2024. The Bobiverse Series has also been optioned to Lord Miller Prods/Universal, so fingers crossed there.
The right is fearful about the prospect of a Black woman becoming president. The right is no champion for Black folks to vote either. Closing voting centers, purging voter registrations, etc. They can and will try some shenanigans . Make sure you are registered to vote. Pay attention to deadlines.
This is complete and utter bullsh*t. Or he's like, the worst parent in the world. I could be persuaded either way.
If someone came to me and told me my child could commit suicide, I'd pay attention. I'd read what they wanted me to sign. I'd know exactly what I was agreeing to, and what their plan was to avert it.
Musk not only deadnamed his daughter, but he doubled down on the deadnaming and justified it by saying he was doing it because his son was dead.
Oh, he also blamed COVID for his giving parental permission for her to transition and the βwoke mind virusβ (which he vows to kill) for her decision to do so.
He said all these things in a lengthy interview on X.
People legitimize that site by using it, giving Musk a bullhorn.

No, as a matter of fact, she didn't show up for the war criminal's joint session of Congress.
Thanks for noticing, Brian.
βShe will not show up for the Prime Ministerβs joint session of Congressβ¦ Sheβd rather address in the summer a sorority, a colored sorority, like she canβt get outta that!β
β Brian Kilmeade, on Fox & Friends, criticizing Vice President Kamala Harris.
DEI has more flexibility, but yeah, at its core it's just their updated version of the n-word.
I would be a DEI hire because I'm an old white gay guy.
Is this useful? I've been thinking about how to point out the adoption of a term to cover for racism.
My PCB assemblies are never that friendly.

You know all those headlines about the amazing amount of money being donated to Harris for President and allied groups? Never underestimate how important small dollar donations are to that total. If you have donated to #MastodonForHarris or spread the word, you are an important part of #HarrisForPresident #harris2024.

The other half ripped out the (overgrown and invasive, admittedly) italian sage plant that brought in all the bees so he could put in other plants, but they still come to get drinks out of the fountain, so it's all right.
Holy crap, I caught a pic of a bee in flight!
Also:
My neighbor, with a heavily fertilized and watered lawn and a couple flowerpots on life support: How do you get so many bees?
Me, with a yard full of flowering plants: How do you cultivate the bees' land?
Long-term goal: no grass, only bees.
Weβve cracked $125,000! Details to followβ¦. #MastodonForHarris
