The comment I found interesting out @altcap interview with Satya and Sam in this week's @BG2Pod was when Satya said there was not a supply constraint on chips, but rather power. Just as @chamath has been warning about for some time now. "The biggest issue we are now having is not a compute glut, but it's a power... the ability to get the builds done fast enough close to power. So if you can't do that, you may have a bunch of chips sitting in inventory that I can't plug in, and in fact, that is my problem today. It's not a supply issue of chips."

In discussing the craziness at Pre-Elon Twitter, @elonmusk & @Jason give a nice shoutout to @ScottAdamsSays with their reference to the Dilbert Scale. On this week's episode of @theallinpod Solving those pedestrian traffic jams in an empty building!

outside of Fetterman. I am now wondering if the Democratic strategy for this shutdown is to get the GOP to do what the Dems could not. Blow up the filibuster. This would truly destroy democracy.
Not this Democrat. @AFGENational, now @Teamsters—I back the unions and always have. I back our military and the Capitol Police, and paying them for their work. I back the 42M Americans who rely on SNAP to feed themselves. End this shutdown.

.@SenWarren and @SenAmyKlobuchar: you are failures. You failed to derail the electoral success of one of our great allies in Latin America, President @JMilei. He won in a landslide with the poorest members of society voting for economic freedom—a notion anathema in particular to the Senate’s resident American Peronist, Senator Warren. You failed to reopen the government, preventing our Administration’s efforts to get aid to American farmers, as well as our planned activation of the Farm Credit Agency to assist our farmers with next year’s crops. As the attached photo demonstrates, @POTUS is in Asia showing what successful American leadership looks like. Today’s announcement after his meeting with President Xi will be a resounding victory for our great farmers. While I know it will be soul-crushing for you, please re-focus your staff away from writing incoherent letters to myself and others, and instead work towards opening the government. If you decide to further add to your legacy of failure by voting to keep the government closed over the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday, ruining the number one travel day for American families, you should both be ashamed. P.S. I am happy to inform you both that the Argentine economic bridge has now turned a profit for the American people. While “profit” is a private sector word that you may both be unfamiliar with, I would urge you to look past your previous experience working alongside the Biden Administration’s autopenned efforts to bankrupt the US government.
A professional way to handle it.
Yesterday, I spoke to San Franciscans about a potential federal deployment in our city. I said then what I have said since taking office, that keeping San Franciscans safe is my top priority. Late last night, I received a phone call from the President of the United States. I told him the same thing I told our residents: San Francisco is on the rise. Visitors are coming back, buildings are getting leased and purchased, and workers are coming back to the office. We have work to do, and we would welcome continued partnerships with the FBI, DEA, ATF, and U.S. Attorney to get drugs and drug dealers off our streets, but having the military and militarized immigration enforcement in our city will hinder our recovery. We appreciate that the president understands that we are the global hub for technology, and when San Francisco is strong, our country is strong. In that conversation, the president told me clearly that he was calling off any plans for a federal deployment in San Francisco. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem reaffirmed that direction in our conversation this morning. My team will continue to monitor the situation closely, and our city remains prepared for any scenario. I am profoundly grateful to all the San Franciscans who came together over the last several days. Our city leaders have been united behind the goal of public safety. And our values have been on full display—this is the best of our city.

DEI: The drive-by media is painting Admiral Alvin Holsey's retirement as an indictment of Secretary Hegseth's leadership. Make no mistake his departure is a good thing. Biden promoted him two days after Trump was elected. He was the architect of the Navy's response to George Floyd's death and BLM - he drafted the 56 point plan to make the NAVY more diverse - with a specific focus on promoting officers based on race. The faster DEI commanders retire the faster our nation's military can heal.

A very worthy Nobel Peace Prize for @MariaCorinaYA, whom I interviewed just two months ago. The socialist dictatorship in Venezuela is bad for its people, and for the world. She is a soldier for liberty whose courage inspires us all. [Mis felicitaciones a María Corina Machado.]
If you want to get insight into who Maria is and why she won the Nobel Peace Prize, watch her recent @AmOptimistShow interview with @JTLonsdale piped.video/watch?v=YEgJKvg9…
This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom. We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy. I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

Hiring Bad Bunny for the @NFL #Halftime show is not only a slap in the face to all Americans, it is particularly so for the NFL players themselves, who are religious & pro-American. The NFL could have helped heal the nation by selecting a pro-USA/Christian performer this year
Great job hiring this guy to do the Super Bowl halftime show. Seriously. You could not have picked a worse person to represent the league or the country…

This is another example of a legacy media anchor speaking frankly in the safe spaces of a podcast but will never say it in front of their audience. Same with Van Jones last week on Bill's show.
CNN’s Kaitlan Collins Says Trump ‘Does Not Sleep’ “You never want to be on Air Force One on a trip … going to Asia or something … Trump is just always up and talking, and he'll have them go wake staff up if they're asleep because he wants to talk to them.”

I proudly stand with @TRobinsonNewEra I have followed Tommy for many years If you ever take the time to listen to him at length you’ll quickly realize He’s a man of principle and one of the West’s bravest Warriors Tommy, thank you for courage and for fighting for The West
I was in Cairns, Australia, today, and saw this beauty parked there. It's Paul Allen's former yacht, called the Octopus. 414 feet long. I bet it's using @Starlink

Fat Abolished, Force Optimized
Hegseth calls out “fat” troops and generals. He says going forward, every service member will need to pass the physical test twice a year if they want to remain a member of the armed services. He says being a fat soldier is “unacceptable”. He’s correct.

The @NFL needs to read the room. This is not the right choice for this years halftime show.

This DOJ indictment of Comey is already starting to have the intended effect. It will be a cleansing of the DOJ of deep state actors.
🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: SENIOR DOJ PROSECUTOR RESIGNS OVER COMEY INDICTMENT Troy A. Edwards Jr., Deputy Chief of the National Security Section at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Virginia(and son-in-law of James Comey) has resigned effective immediately. In his resignation letter to U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, Edwards wrote: "To uphold my oath to the Constitution and country, I hereby resign as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia in the Department of Justice effective immediately." Edwards was a senior national security prosecutor and played a key role in prosecuting January 6 defendants. Sources: Fox, @alx

“Andy Ngo was beaten by Proud Boys pretending to be Antifa” “The 2020 riots were incited and carried out by white supremacists” “Tyler Robinson is MAGA, a Christian white nationalist” “The Dallas ICE shooter is far-right and trying to frame the left” “Motive unknowable” Remember DARVO.
We are about to have the largest control study in history related to Tylenol that would impress even @DrMakaryFDA and @VPrasadMDMPH. Those on the "right" will stop taking it while pregnant, and those on the "left" will be double-dosing. Results in 2 years.
The latest viral trend on TikTok is pregnant libs popping Tylenol to push back on Trump’s warnings about the drug 🤦‍♂️
