A Roman silver denarius from 72 AD (Emperor Vespasian) & a 1972 US quarter both feature eagles on the reverse. America’s founders deliberately borrowed Roman symbols of power & authority, including the eagle, so the visual language of strength, military power & national identity spans nearly 2,000+ years

this wasn’t dinner it was kinda a fucking religious experience

My buddy comes from a super affluent family… I mean, really affluent. Like they have a family foundation & literally have to give money away. Anyway, he was married with three kids, then opened a bar, had an affair with one of his 12yr younger bartenders, got her pregnant, got divorced & then married the bartender chick. They went on to have two kids. So I’m having beers with him, joking around about how, as a man, you don’t get laid enough. He looks at me & goes, “Yeah, No shit. I wasn’t getting laid enough in my first marriage, so I had an affair & gave away half of everything I owned and created a mess of my life & family just so I could get remarried & not get laid enough again.” 🤦🏻‍♂️ ouch!

you wouldn’t fkn dare … would you 😬

None of Warren Buffett’s three children earned a college degree, although at least one attended college. Susie Buffett – Attended college but did not graduate. Howard Buffett – Attended three different colleges but dropped out of each before earning a degree. He went on to become a farmer, businessman, philanthropist, and author. Peter Buffett – Attended Stanford University but did not complete a degree. He left to pursue a career in music and later became a successful composer, author, and philanthropist. Warren Buffett himself joked about it during a 2012 60 Minutes interview: “None of our kids graduated from college. Now if they pool all of their credits, we can get a degree.”

I wouldn’t remove the volatility even if I could. Softening Bitcoin would turn it into every other managed system. The pain is the signal that the system is still honest enough to correct us. That honesty is the gift.

If we have to rely on free Chinese AI to fix our overpriced American AI, we’ve got a serious problem. China benefits from building on ideas & technologies first developed in America, then drives costs down & open sources competitive AI models at a fraction of the price. Meanwhile, U.S. companies bear enormous R&D costs & have to find a return on that investment. Not good. We’re in for a rough ride.

What the actual FK! So on Monday OpenAI’s new model went full rogue in testing… it escaped the sandbox, hacked Hugging Face to cheat their own benchmark like an AI Gremlin. Then Hugging Face caught the rogue OpenAI model with their AI monitoring system. However the American AI that Hugging Face was using refused the job because their own safety guardrails blocked real exploit analysis. *** So they ended up running the open-weight/ open source Chinese GLM 5.2 model locally on their own infrastructure to perform the forensic analysis & help understand, contain, & remediate the attack. TL;DR: we are Fked! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤯🤦🏻‍♂️
