This is the same company that had to bounce back from a crisis in the fall of 2024 that caused their revenues to decline for several months. Now you can't even see the crisis. (I bet the founders remember it though.) x.com/paulg/status/1…

This aged well. They did, and it has.

AI startups grow fast.

Bad policy, bad character make bad politics: erratic tariffs, impulsive Iran war, blanket pardons, apparent corruption, weaponized justice, ICE brutality, mountainous deficits, hiding Epstein, abandoning allies and coddling enemies. Hoping for a course correction, for the country and for my party.

Conductor is joining Meta! It's been so cool to see their evolution from pivot hell during the S24 batch, to building a product that they themselves wanted to use (back in the stone age of 2025 when people still coded by hand!), to building a community and movement around their product. All of their success is so well deserved, couldn't happen to better people. Congrats @charlieholtz @jacksondecampos and the entire @conductor_build team!

Now we'll finally learn what's in the Epstein files. Mike Johnson is no longer in a position to shut down the House in order to prevent votes on measures to force their release. It's time. It's past time.

One month's progress for a successful startup. The previous month's towering revenue number now looks small, and the early part of the graph is starting to read as flat. This is what exponential growth feels like.

Love to see @PabloTorre bring up @DropSiteNews reporting on Morning Joe, highlighting the wild detail that two Mike Rogers staffers are registered foreign agents for the state of Israel

The application deadline for the winter 2027 batch is today:

The Rogers spokesperson you see starting this press conference is Abby Ronson. She is currently registered as a foreign agent for the state of Israel, according to @DropSiteNews reporting today

Most investors have no idea of the damage that the mere distraction of talking to them does to a startup. Here's a typical example. And this is a YC company too, meaning they have an easier time fundraising than the median startup.

Some man-made things are obviously very dated. And if they can be more dated, they can be less dated too. Are the least dated man-made things timeless? If not they're close.

Ridiculous looking haircuts are not a modern phenomenon. Indeed you can pretty much assume that the most fashionable haircut now will look ridiculous later in photographs.

This is an incredible accomplishment by India. Absolutely world-changing.

Why do more men than women end up in some jobs, and more women than men in others? A new paper shows that a big part of it is that men and women are interested in different stuff. stevestewartwilliams.com/p/male-brain-f…

You fuckin' pumpkins think you're so great just because you're curvy and orange and grow above ground. Well I got news for you, air boy. Your days are over.

Mike Rogers is one of the chief architects of the modern surveillance state and a champion of the forever war. Privacy and war are two of the very few issues on which a member of Congress can make a difference with a marginal, decisive vote. Michigan, let’s make sure Rogers gets nowhere near the U.S. Senate.
