THAT'S RIGHT. 🇺🇸

WHO DID THIS

"George Orwell's '1984' is supposed to be a warning, NOT an instruction manual." --@elonmusk

Ouch, I just snorted coffee out of my nose.

"We look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms. The first is freedom of speech and expression—everywhere in the world." --FDR

A warm welcome to all the newest converts to the great American cause of free speech!

This really does deserve to be cast in solid platinum and hung in the Smithsonian.

President Trump was banned from Youtube Jan '21 to March '23. He was therefore forced to post new policy videos to Rumble. Such as this one, which went viral today but is from Dec '22. You didn't see his video about censorship because he was censored. rumble.com/v20teya-trump-12-…

The thing about Elon’s alleged political power is that it mainly flows from just saying things out loud that are obviously true.

Buy physical copies of any book you plan to read in the future. Do it now.

Amazing.

The war on children intensifies.

Absolutely not.

Build 1,000 new state of the art nuclear power plants in the US and Europe, right now. We won't, but we should.

Every day I see something I am sure I hallucinated.

The President's WIFE and SON were debanked. 🤯 amazon.com/Melania-Trump-ebo…

We're coming out of a 15 year run of being afraid of our own shadow. It infected and paralyzed our culture, our society, our politics, our economics, and our view of technology. It's over, at least in the US. 🇺🇸

Just in the last few days: 1) The FBI reversed itself and now says we must all use encrypted messaging apps 2) The BBC and the UK Labour Party say "Dom Cummings is right" 3) Paul Krugman quit 4) Debanking became a national political issue I'm telling you, the timeline split. ⏱️👥

Deepseek R1 is one of the most amazing and impressive breakthroughs I’ve ever seen — and as open source, a profound gift to the world. 🤖🫡

The entire country 🇺🇸 feels like it’s being powered back up. Do you feel it?

BATTLE CRY OF THE AUTISTS' REVOLUTION

Orwell was an optimist.

Deepseek R1 is AI's Sputnik moment.

If I were a coder in my 20s again, I know exactly where I would go work right now. What an incredible moment.

Every day I see something oh never mind

Elon's enemies have a real problem. Their argument that a man worth $400+ billion is doing it to make more money is obviously not credible.

Overheard in Silicon Valley: "So it turns out we already had UBI, only just for one side."

I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered together at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone.

On Pausing Alcohol "Always carry a flask of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore always carry a small snake." -- W. C. Fields About six months ago, I stopped drinking alcohol. I feel much better, and I’m mad as hell about it. I never really drank through my 20s and 30s, but grew to really enjoy whiskey through my 40s, coincident with “Mad Men”, and roughly a thousand academic studies that proved that alcohol is actually good for you. Win/win! I had read that the sure sign of an alcoholic is someone who drinks at night, by himself, at home, so I decided to only drink at night, by myself, at home. I was even scurrilously quoted as saying “the perfect day is 10 hours of caffeine followed by 4 hours of alcohol”, which I did indeed say, and which is still indeed true. Unfortunately, in recent years, it’s become clear that most or all — probably all — of the scientific studies on the benefits of alcohol are fake, the scientists unwitting or witting victims of selection effects. As Michael Crichton says, “wet streets cause rain”, or rather wet streets don’t cause rain. It turns out that sick people often don’t drink, or subjects just lie to researchers about their consumption outright. There go the studies. It is now pretty definitively clear that no amount of alcohol is good for you. Andrew Huberman recently summed this conclusion up on his podcast; the topic made me so enraged I never listened to the episode, but I did read the notes. Andrew says “the best amount of alcohol to drink is no alcohol” — imagine someone who both hates and loves humanity that much. Since I stopped drinking, I feel much better. I don’t need as much sleep, but my sleep is better. I’m more alert through the day. I’m cogent and focused at all times. I have more energy when I exercise, and it’s easier to control my diet. It’s great, and I am super mad about it. I feel like the color has drained out of my evenings[*]. Spending time with people is still fun, but now it’s hard to sit still and watch a movie or read a book and unwind at the end of a hard day. I’m more prone to just work until bedtime. Grump grump grump. Frankly, I don’t know what Elon is doing farting around with cars and rockets and Twitter, why doesn’t he solve THIS problem[**]. And one of these days, I am going to get deeply, seriously, hammered. But not today! [*] A lot of people I know are substituting cannabis or hallucinogens for alcohol. I’m not, I won’t touch any of those things — a topic for another time. [**] I’ve been trying all the alcohol free whiskeys, wine, and beer. So far, no luck on the whiskeys. For wine, Sovi is pretty good. For beer, there are quite a few good choices; I’ve become partial to Hopwtr, which is zero calorie hop-flavored sparkling water. I’m still not drinking either at breakfast, though I am tempted.

Imagine the threat to freedom and democracy if people can just say what they think.

No, no, you don't understand. I *need* my private jet to fight climate change.

Build nuclear. Frack. Drill.

If you want to fix a broken system, you have to pull money OUT, not put more money IN. If you put more money IN, the system interprets it as a reward and uses the money to become even more broken. We get this for businesses. We forget it for nonprofits and governments. 🤔

Elon’s proposed takeover of Twitter is a profound threat to unfree speech.

"There are decades when nothing happens, and there are weeks when decades happen."--Lenin

This has genuinely been the most incredible two weeks of my adult life, on two totally different fronts.

I am having SO MANY conversations with people in positions of power who are exhaling in relief, and making changes they wanted to make for YEARS.

We are living through the most dramatic preference cascade of my life. Every day I am hearing the most amazing things. 🇺🇸

Yes.

'If he charges prices judged as too high, he can be prosecuted for monopoly; if he charges prices lower than those of his competitors, he can be prosecuted for “unfair competition”; and if he charges the same prices as his competitors, he can be prosecuted for “collusion.”'

OH MY GOD.

Elon must not be allowed to impose his refusal to censor us on us.

It’s always such a surprise when the communists starve everyone.

Entire swaths of the laptop class, including virtually the entire mainstream press, have made a 180-degree reversal on free speech, within a decade, without any memory at all that they once held the opposite view. With perfect synchronization, as one.

America is an economic coiled spring. We should be growing at least 4% annually and ideally 6-8%+. Growth has been brutally suppressed since before I was born. But there is so much to build. And the payoff for all Americans will be incredible. 🇺🇸

The last week has totally reset my conception of what's possible, in two wholly different dimensions. 🤯

Masks off.

I know it’s hard to believe, but Big Tech AI generates the output it does because it is precisely executing the specific ideological, radical, biased agenda of its creators. The apparently bizarre output is 100% intended. It is working as designed.

"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the same man."--Heraclitus

What % of the laptop class is on Adderall?

Every day I see something I am convinced I hallucinated. Today, this was that.

Shouldn’t the people who tell us how to live and what to eat look a little…healthier?

I predict essentially identical censorship/deplatforming policies across all layers of the legacy Internet stack. Client-side & server-side ISPs, cloud platforms, CDNs, payment networks, client OSs, browsers, email clients. With only rare exceptions. The pressure is intense.

Imagine seeing everything we've seen for the last 2, 5, 20, 50 years and still thinking the answer lies in consulting the experts.

I’m so old, I remember when doxxing and threatening federal employees was considered bad.

It turned out Twitter was more important than flying cars.

Oh no.

There's always a tweet. @elonmusk

Every day I see something that I am convinced I hallucinated.

WHO DID THIS @SallyMayweather

Every day, I see something I am convinced I hallucinated.

😆

Yes, hello, I would like to report a misinformation. 😆

We all know where this is headed.

The generational leadership change I’ve been waiting 30 years for is happening across 🇺🇸 right now.

WHO DID THIS

“Prior to capitalism, the way people amassed great wealth was by looting, plundering and enslaving their fellow man. Capitalism made it possible to become wealthy by serving your fellow man.” — Walter Williams, RIP

Laptop Class (noun): Western upper-middle-class professionals who work through a screen and are totally abstracted from tangible physical reality and the real-world consequences of their opinions and beliefs. Synonyms: Professional-Managerial Class; Orwell’s “outer party”.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🇺🇸

Overheard in Silicon Valley: "My biggest lesson from the last year is just, it’s all going to happen. All my childhood dreams of space colonies and brain interfaces and AI and robots. Everything is just… going to happen."

The orchestrated advertiser boycott against X and popular podcasts must end immediately. Conspiracy in restraint of trade is a prosecutable crime.

Like, literally just stop. No government subsidies to companies. No government subsidies to NGO's, nonprofits, foundations, activists. Let people spend or donate their own money their own way. ¡AFUERA!

Just woke up from afternoon nap. Had terrible dream there was free speech on the Internet.

Learning Python is the first step to catching rockets.

Paper straws were the current thing for about 5 minutes based on a totally fake study by a 9 year old in 2011. Now I get to suck on wood pulp with my iced tea every morning, 11 years later. The kid is now 20, I hope he only wears clothes made out of paper. reason.com/2018/01/25/califo…

Me revealing your personal information is transparency in the public interest. You revealing my personal information is doxxing and puts my life in danger.

“Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward––reversing cause and effect. I call these the ‘wet streets cause rain’ stories. Paper’s full of them.” —Michael Crichton

😆

X needs a Dramatic Exit button. 😆

For the first time since the summer of 2015, I feel a vibe shift.

It's over, folks. Pack it in.

Absolutely incredible.

Buy paper copies of all books you plan to ever read. Do it now.

This is it. This is the moment. Build nuclear, frack, drill.

It’s time to build. 🇺🇸

I AM a sorcerer!

You’re not nearly paranoid enough.

The most common event in our times: An expert with power/authority/influence is wrong in full view, yet suffers no consequences.

My conspiracy theory is that there are only 1.5 million people in the world, 1.75 million tops. You all just move around. I challenge anyone to disprove this with photographic evidence.

The last two weeks require the writing of an entirely new history of post-1950’s American conservatism.

Every day I see something I am convinced I hallucinated.

Thank you baby Jesus.
