I miss when "pivoting to crypto" was just something The Zodiac did at the end of his letters.

On the one hand, we should all be submitting comments. On the other, this is fait accompli. DJTJ is a "strategic advisor" to Kalshi.
When you say "strategic advisor" you should do a long sniff through your nose followed by an audible nostril-wipe.

New IRS guidance on how states nominate opportunity zones will revive a widely criticized program under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017—but with looser standards that could amplify, rather than fix, original flaws.

So let's say you're the antichrist, as evidenced by a post on your social media platform. If you delete that post, does that square you on that score? Like are you back to not being the embodiment of evil and, like, a pretty good guy that could get votes again?

Well I’ll swim against the current here and stick up for her. I do suspect everyone in my life that hasn’t held a press conference specifically and clearly denying having had a relationship with Epstein to have at least hung out with him a couple times.

Discovered today that 0% of my undergraduate class had even *heard* of TiVo. This was not on my radar as a secret old person tell.
I kind of think of it as modern technology.
I'm reeling.

Remember to be respectful. Not everyone that looks fondly on the Confederacy does so because they support the cause’s most odious views.
Some folks are just huge fans of big dumb racist losers.

If I followed the Vance protocol I would convert to Tibetan Buddhism in 2026, the current Dalai Lama would die as a side effect of meeting me in about 2030, and by like 2035 the new one would be on record saying I really suck.

Maybe I'm naive, but why would one *ever* need to snort cocaine off of a toilet seat? It seems to me like even the lid would be better.
The sink? The floor?
At a certain point, it's a conscious choice.

Pure propaganda.
Getting to know the lives of folks living on a barista paycheck has next to nothing to do with getting to know the job.
Try living on the salary you pay them, too. And with their schedule. Try making use of only the benefits that you permit them.

Hey #writing and #journalism friends, I’m in the early stages of exploring a #book idea. Does anyone have a recommendation for a literary agent accepting new clients?
#Nonfiction, general interest, #legal #tax #policy and #technology
Not sure my first hop network has the reach so boosts 🚀 are appreciated. Many thanks!

Trying something new with a Maximum Minimum Competence episode. This week we do a "deep" (still 5 minutes but just one topic) dive on #Section230.
If you want to get roughly caught up before oral arguments begin in Gonzalez v. Google, this should do it.

"If purchasing a stock and seeing it increase in price is payment for investing in a growing company, that company repurchasing those shares—and the previous shareholder seeing a profit—is payment for divesting in said company. When the company has financed the buyback through courting other investors via the corporate bond market, an image of a house constructed only of cards begins to manifest in one’s mind."
