Anne Wojcicki, ex-wife to Sergey Brin, tells Bloomberg:
“Power corrupts, and people start to think they are invincible... We are all complicit in making these people think they are gods. And people do stupid things when they think they are untouchable.”
Silicon Valley group chats are having a moment of "Jensanity" -- here's what @ellenhuet and I are hearing from women in tech.

They're back! It is nature's clock: as soon as Republicans lose power the climate protestors return with their signs and placards. No scientist knows where they go to hibernate when the GOP is destroying our environment. But at the first hint of liberal democracy they return. 1/

This new Reuters report is stunning.
A week before the U.S. captured Venezuela's leader, JD Vance reportedly met at a private Montana ski club with John Addison, an oil trader who had given $300,000 to help elect Vance to the Senate in 2022. Vance allegedly asked how fast Venezuela's oil could be sold if America took control of it.
Both men deny the meeting.
Flight records show their planes parked together that day.
Two days after the Venezuela operation, Energy Secretary Chris Wright called Addison and offered his company, Vitol, the job of selling Venezuela's oil. There was no public bidding. Vitol and one rival have since made hundreds of millions of dollars.
Addison and his wife also gave $7 million to help elect Trump, and he now chairs a board advising Secretary Wright.
Congress has a duty to act.
We should bring Secretary Wright, Vitol, and Addison in to testify under oath. We should demand the phone records, emails, and flight logs. We should find out whether anyone got a heads-up about a military operation. And we should require open, competitive bidding before any company profits from our foreign policy.
If nothing was wrong, let’s see the records.

PSAKI: “Your thoughts on @SenSchumer for senate leader?”
@scott_colom: “My concern is too many of our leaders are from the same area of the country.”

Dems need to find another speaker of the house stat.
If your first step out of this election is delaying permitting reforms for housing affordability in the name of more {waves hands} “process and input” you’ve completely missed the message. Not the right person for the moment. Move aside.
We’ve been in self-imposed stagnation when it comes to building ~anything~ in the physical world for decades. It has made everything we rely on more expensive, more scarce, and - perversely - worse in quality for the outcome.
It’s also become a direct cause of hardship for those at lower and even middle incomes. Our housing stock is older than it has ever been. Yet it’s also absurdly expensive.
Get on board with removing largely performative barriers that punish everyone (but especially the poor) or get out of the way.

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

I'm sorry, somebody killed a guy in a hit-and-run and they're not charging the driver with ANYTHING???
Genuinely hard to overstate how corrosive bullshit like this is to law and order

TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

Steve Witkoff to Putin:
“You talk so much about President Trump being a humanitarian. You are a humanitarian also, sir, and I salute that. I commend you, and I thank you.”
Sickening!

good, people should ask questions about any ally that spies on it, lies to it, goads it into a maximalist strategy of endless war, territorial expansion, and destabilization of neighboring states. even putting the morality aside, it’s geopolitical malpractice
Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed shared his views on U.S.-Israel relations, saying he does not consider Israel an American ally: “I think it’s time for us to realize that Israel is not actually our friend.”

You can kill anyone you want in this country as long as you use a car, are sober, and don’t leave any hints of your intent ahead of time.

A horrific Russian strike in the Kharkiv region. A “shahed” struck people directly – in a park near an ordinary café. Pure atrocity. Six people were killed, including children. A little girl was killed in a stroller – her name was Angelina, she was just over a year old, born in August 2025… Her mother’s name was Inna. She died in the hospital… Another girl who was killed was 11 years old. My condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 14 people were injured, including six more children.
I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine under these circumstances and helps us shoot down “shaheds,” shoot down missiles, and stop Russian assaults. These are horrific photos, but behind them are shattered lives and the truth about this war. Lives must be protected. Ukraine needs air defense. You can't think about making money with Russia as long as it continues its asinine war. We ask that sanctions on Russia stay in place as long as the killings continue. We ask America to be strong, and we ask it to apply the Lindsey Graham law. We ask Europe to continue its support. We ask that everything possible be done to bring peace and guarantee security. Ukraine wants peace. It is Russia that has insisted on continuing the killing all this time. The world has enough strength to stop the war. That strength must finally be used – against the murderers.

30,000 good ideas a year but Airbnb is effectively still the same product it was 10 years ago
Brian Chesky says he generates roughly 30,000 ideas a year and uses AI to rescue ideas he initially thought were stupid
"It’s more the good ideas jump off the page. So, for example, I basically have a notebook, and every thought is, like, a sentence or a couple sentences. And I probably write maybe a thousand words a day. So that's probably 300,000 words a year."
"So maybe each line is a sentence, there’s, like, 10 words. So maybe that’s a hundred ideas a day. So that’s maybe 30,000 ideas a year."
"And so then what I do is say I have 30,000 thoughts a year. 99% of them are not useful, right? Just something. You write something down, anything that comes to your mind, I just keep writing it down. At the end of every day, I bold the things that jump out at me."
"And so if I wrote down, like, a hundred things, a hundred lines, I bold five to ten. And then each day I bold them."
"At the end of every month, I look, and my AI now can just read the bold ideas. I used to have to manually pull out the ideas and read them. Now the AI can pull out the bolded ideas. The AI can also read and find ideas I thought were stupid, and it can tell me really good ideas."
"It can see patterns, and then those become my short list. And then I iterate them, iterate them, iterate them."
