I like James Lindsay. He’s a smart guy. Taught me a lot
But he botched the H1B issue. I thought there’s something to what he’s saying for awhile. I really don’t think there is
And here’s the kicker: he’s a smart guy. A really smart guy. Smart enough he wouldn’t fall for something like this. Leaves some less than savory options
To clarify: I don’t know anything, but I find it awfully suspicious that he’d screw up that issue

I appreciate what Elon is doing with DOGE. It will have a huge impact
But hearing him seamlessly jump back and forth from his DOGE government work to his companies shows an obvious conflict of interest. Is he in charge of auditing his OWN government contracts for waste, fraud and abuse?
Will he replace some of the wasteful contracts with contracts for Palantir and his other Silicon Valley buddies?
Yes, I know, the Bidens, the Clintons and the Bushes were all up to their eyeballs too. But we were promised the swamp would be drained, not replaced with Palantir!
You know, if Hamas returned the hostages and issued an apology for 10/7, Israel wouldn’t attack
I know the Gaza situation isn’t that simple but I’ve never heard an Israel hater mention this
Mr President, Elon is not taking a salary but he is most certainly getting paid
Warnings about Vance are proving correct
Trump has a tightrope to walk, with Elon, Vance, Vivek all circling like sharks
Not feeling good as he heads into the meeting with Modi
Does anyone have experience with the caste system in India? I’m getting a lot of commentary from people in the west who aren’t Indian but I’m not sure how accurate those are
Looking for an unbiased and up to date perspective
Does anyone know much about the history of India?
I’m looking for a good book, maybe 200-300 pages that would give a good overarching history up to the beginning of the modi years
Federal Debt is a big problem
But other countries have much higher debt to gdp ratios
Ending liberty in the name of efficiency really would end America however
THAT is what I fear 

Elon is doing a great job at Doge
But I just can’t shake the feeling that it’s all an act and just for show. Time will tell
Elon lied his ass off about his gaming credo
He’s lying about DOGE too, there’s a lot of bad stuff going on
I heard recently that bitcoin transactions are easier to observe and tie back to an individual than credit card transactions
If there are any MAGA on Nostr, give me a shout and I’ll follow!
Elon and DOGE are very, very dangerous right now
He will attempt abuse his power. He’s already tried to
Thankfully, clearer heads prevailed on this, but how many things will they fail to catch 

DOGE has waaaayyy too much power
They’re digging into the Department of Labor and there’s some stuff there that looks very bad for elon
This is not good
Looks like palantir is deep in doge:

I went back to twitter for a bit
The whole site feels like it’s programming you to like Elon. Scary stuff!
So I did yard work today
I have a new found respect for landscapers
I also realized I am in terrible shape
