I debut in @firstthingsmag today writing on Brendan Eich, who ten years ago was attacked and chased out of Mozilla, a company he co-founded, for taking private civic action based upon his quiet Christian faith. It was a pivotal moment in our society and for me personally:
"I was working in New York's “Silicon Alley” when it happened, and I immediately recognized it as a major escalation in the culture war. It was a warning that the Leviathan of technocracy did not care how well I did, how hard I worked, or how well I treated others. Ideological conformity to the top-down, programmatic transformation of the country that was rapidly taking place was all that mattered. If I was unwilling to affirm the current thing dictated according to the whims of “progress,” I was an enemy of humanity and an enemy of America. And my beliefs, no matter how ancient, innocent, and valid, must bow to the will of Leviathan, or the digital swarm would descend upon me. In fact, the higher I rose, the harder opponents would hunt for an excuse to throw me, like Belteshazzar, to the lions."
also, it blows my mind at how many entrepreneur-bros are out there given how annoying and cumbersome it is to get a business license
If the US is so pro-capitalism then wtf does it take 10 different submissions and agencies to file for a single business license.

This pretty much sums up the political left that's existed since the Naderites refused to vote for Gore and the Sanderites refused to vote for Hillary.
Stupid, meaningless, self defeating, self congratulating, political symbolic gestures that make them feel good all while participating in a self defeating political morass where important political ground is ceded to a more organized and mercenary political right.
Seriously, fuck these guys.
The blatant missed holding calls on Washington, literally lost the game. Then the unique use of holding calls against UW gave them the game. Absolutely maddening.

Turning 40 was nothing.
But 50 hits different.
You start to reflect on life. What really matters? How does it all add up?
Let me tell you what feels good… and also what doesn’t.

If you’re stuck, moving is the single best way to force a reboot.
The thought terrifies people because we tend to magnify the risk 10X while also underestimating benefits by 10X.
If you asked 100 people who’ve done it almost all would say it worked out BETTER than they hoped.

Imagine the following:
You're a man who serves as Chairman of the Board of a large University who led the search for the recently hired president.
Your wife runs a non-profit in the DEI space. She is the only full-time employee of the organization, serving as Founder, CEO, and CFO. You serve as Treasurer.
The non-profit ostensibly sells two principal products in the DEI space:
1. "Evidence-based 'how-to-guides' and
2. "The most comprehensive intersectional analytics platform of its kind..."
but the non-profit has no revenues.
It relies entirely on contributions to fund its operations, which principally consist of your wife's salary and some other ancillary overhead.
There have been only two contributors to the non-profit, the University whose board you chair, which has contributed:
2018 $100,000
2019 $300,000
2020 $150,000
2021 $600,000
2022 $789,000
and a donor advised fund (DAF) affiliated with you which has contributed:
2018 $0
2019 $0
2020 $0
2021 $10,000
2022 $20,000
Doesn't this seem very strange?
What if the University was @MIT?
What if the Chairman was Mark Gorenberg?
What if the non-profit is parity.org?
Why are there so many conflicts/scandals concerning DEI organizations?
All of the above can be found in MIT's and Parity.Org's IRS Form 990s which are available and summarized here:

Reading Charles Spurgeon's Advent Book, "Joy to the World"
Day 5 - Everlasting Love
Not only when you were born into the world did Christ love you, but his delights were with the sons of men before there were any sons of men.
Often did he think of them; from everlasting to everlasting he had set his affection upon them.
Believer, has he been so long about your salvation, will he not accomplish it? Has he from everlasting been going forth to save me, and will he lose me now? Has he had me in his hand, as his precious jewel, and will he now let me slip between his precious fingers? Did he choose me before the mountains were brought forth, or the channels of the deep scooped out, and will he lose me now? Impossible!
I am sure he would not love me so long, and then leave off loving me. If he intended to be tired of me, he would have been tired of me long before now. If he had not loved me with a love as deep as hell and as unutterable as the grave, if he had not given his whole heart to me, am sure he would have turned from me long ago. He knew what I would be, and he has had long time enough to consider of it; but I am his choice. He is contented with me - he must be contented with me, for he has known me long enough to know my faults. He knew me before I knew myself; he knew me before I was myself. Long before my members were fashioned they were written in his book, his eyes of affection were set on them. He knew how badly I would act towards him, and yet he has continued to love me.
"For centuries now our culture has cultivated the idea that the skeptical person is always smarter than one who believes. You can be almost as stupid as a cabbage, as long as you doubt you are viewed as intelligent. We explain away answers of prayers, in our pride we close off the possibility of God stepping in"

We’ve now reached the “gaslight Americans into blaming themselves” phase of the inflation discourse.
let’s not focus on immigration, the fentanyl crisis or the insane housing shortage we have…
Let’s focus on shitty sandwich shops monopolizing people lunchtime sub-stops.
We don't need another private equity deal that could lead to higher food prices for consumers. The @FTC is right to investigate whether the purchase of @SUBWAY by the same firm that owns @jimmyjohns and @McAlistersDeli creates a sandwich shop monopoly. politico.com/news/2023/11/21…
The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will make you an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.
