Jim Ray remembers exactly where he was when the idea that would lead to him becoming the world’s first trillionaire struck. Standing in the beer aisle of a local supermarket chain, the insight at once bold and yet obvious, combining two seemingly disparate trends into one stroke of genius.
Non-alcoholic hard seltzer.
The world would never be the same.

@npub1xed…yg9w Kinda wild to think you could run for president having been convicted of between 1 and 33 felonies and that would still be the second most number of felonies for a presidential candidate

Hijo Número Uno has been working towards a NASA bomber jacket and the final task was listening to three podcasts worth of his Papá go on about how the invention of jet engines, the rise of the military industrial complex, and mid-century counter culture created contemporary men’s fashion.

Me, an idiot: “So, kids, by setting the thermostat a little lower and eating less meat, we’re doing our part to make the world more sustainable”
VCs, very smart: “We just raised $100 billion dollars from the sovereign wealth funds of three petrostates to build the world’s largest AI supercomputer. It uses as much power and water as Guatemala and the primary use case is for management consultants to autogenerate powerpoints for justifying mass layoffs.”

Something I’ve thought about a lot over the past near-decade is Trump could’ve just kept on being a lying, grifting con artist — perhaps the greatest this country has ever produced which really is saying something — who most folks would’ve just kept rolling their eyes at if he’d simply never run for president.
I even think he would’ve been happier.

@npub1mdk…aptk I use AdGuard on my Mac with Safari, works like a charm. It’s slightly more involved than a browser extension and requires a bit of setup. I just went with the defaults and it’s been a peach.

The Times is right — e-bikes are a scourge and we must do everything we can to protect our fragile SUV-driving elites from these teen terrors. I propose we construct a nationwide network of separated e-bike enclosures to segregate these monsters from god-fearing motorists.
I’ve attached one such example from a European petrostate that has spent years valiantly protecting cars from the ravages of cycling. With work, we may be able to reduce the number of cyclist-on-motorist deaths to zero.
