Without taking accountability for The View's own incendiary and dehumanizing rhetoric against Trump, Alyssa Farah Griffin bloviates about how we need to bring the temperature down: "I know we will talk a lot about this so I won't steal the microphone, but we have a problem with political violence...

"There are over a thousand Taliban and ISKP operatives in the United States. We let too many people in this country that we don't even know who's here." "Isn't Tom Homan doing this? It was 14 million people. So we're not doing it. And what I was saying to an Intel agency just a week ago, I said, we need to be running against this threat. Like, this needs to be fast forward, the toughest thing we ever did. We're not picking up and deporting fast enough. And Trump says that himself." Legend @RooftopLeader

Bill Chisholm: “It’s not about the money at all. This was, again, trying to put together the right set of players and assets to win now, to win next year, the following year, and the year after that. That's what this was about. None of these were about money. We have some more room now. If we see something we wanted, Brad's got the green light to do that. So I just really, I mean, I know there's people who feel like, 'Oh, there must be a smoking gun somewhere on the money,' but that's just not what this is about. And I can say it, and I'll keep saying it, but I'll also prove it to you when the time comes. When we have the opportunity, we're going to do that. And we've given ourselves the flexibility to do it now. So, it's fine to keep asking the question, because I know we have to prove it, and we will.”

.Sam Altman says the best advice Peter Thiel ever gave him was to focus on what’s working. Peter was the one who convinced him to double down on ChatGPT early on: “After we launched ChatGPT, it was sort of this weird thing because people didn't really know what to use it for. It was growing super fast, but it felt very unstable, or kind of almost low-value growth.” “A lot of people in the company were like, ‘We gotta figure out something else. This is not sustainable value.’ And we were talking about this list of 5 or 6 other things that we could focus on instead.” “He was like, ‘It's an obvious mistake to do anything but this.’” “Besides the fact that it's growing, which is rare and great, and it was not growing as fast then as it did after, he's like, ‘The power of this is the power of the Google text box. It's like a text box you can type anything into, and it does the right thing.’” “He's like, ‘People have just been chasing the Google business model for 20 years and this is the first thing that's come up, and clearly the empty text box worked for Google, so why don't you just double down on that? It's growing. It's very flexible and it has all of the signs other than it doesn't fit the current Silicon Valley wisdom.’” “And I was like, ‘Okay.’ And so we went super hard on ChatGPT and it was great.”

"I was getting on [Melyssa Ford] for hiding it, not doing it. I just felt like if you're doing this and this is all the rave out in the street and everybody is doing it, then come in there and tell us about it. ... If I'm watching you go in another room, throwing up, cramps, and whatever you're doing, it's like, 'Okay, something's going on over there.' I get people want to keep a secret. I'm not mad at that. Not me. If I'm on it, you're going to hear about it from me." - Joe Budden

🎥| “Already I fucking love this city. I love this country. I love the people. This was the first country as a band when I was about, when I was about 19 years old, I think. Um, it was pretty much one of the only countries I've ever been to really outside of the UK. It was the first country as a band. You don't have to cheer for me. I do appreciate it though. It was the first time as a band that, you know, it felt like maybe might have a few fans outside of the UK and I remember that being really, really excited. And I think we were here for about four or five weeks. We actually recorded What Makes You Beautiful. I know you like it but shit song. So... it was so this is, this is one of, there's not many countries that kind of grab me with nostalgia like this. And it's also not many countries that I would go out and have about a two hour walk, which I did yesterday. I'm not much of a walker, but I wanted to get myself out. It was really cool to see. It was really, really cool to see it with this, this country had a massive, massive impression on me as a young lad and I have it to have a lot to thank this country for. So, yeah, thank you. Thank you for being cool. Alright, it's emotional.” Louis Tomlinson on stage at #HDWGHWTStockholm (Via centr_mass)

Chuck Todd slams Trump as the only one who can turn down the temperature on incendiary rhetoric in the country — says he refuses to do it: "Presidents are in charge of the thermostat of the political temperature of the country. Period." “We haven't had the moment where this president has said, this isn't who we are. This is not acceptable. Maybe it's time to take a breath here. I know we've all allowed political rhetoric to get out of hand. Right. And yet, that's not the instinct right now, is it? And that's the problem." So. Trump’s response is the real problem here in all of this, according to Chuck. Of course it is.

This Is An American Business Owner “The majority of my employees are under the age of 25 and I was having a conversation with a few of them the other day about just their futures” The answers were “so heartbreaking, like there's no hope” We NEED leadership change She asked “What are they saving for buying a home starting families that kind of thing and it was overwhelming The responses were just what's the point? They're like we work all the time. Half of our checks just get taken to taxes and sent overseas. Like they even see it and they're young, not even paying attention. Like we can't even buy a house so we're not even gonna try to save. We can barely think about starting a family because I can barely afford to live on my own.” “Just, it's so heartbreaking. Like there's no hope. But even when I was in college and I was able to buy a home and my friends, you know, they were able to do the same and start families. It was feasible, it was doable. And it's so disgusting the damage has been done in such a short period of time and it blows my mind that people are still going to vote for it” “it's so prevalent and it's so obvious now damage the just destruction of this poor country and what it's doing to a generation that are growing up trying to do their best and there's nothing for them. There's no future for them. What are they saving for? Like if we continue, if in November this happens again, we won't make it out. Like this is, this is, I mean, this is so sad.”

Emil Michael: “If you don’t want your software to be used for Department of War stuff, you shouldn't be selling to the Department of War.” Under Secretary of War Emil Michael on his frustrations with Anthropic: “We started these negotiations, and it took three months, and I had to sort of give them scenarios, like this Chinese hypersonic missile example.” “And they're like, ‘Okay, we'll give you an exception for that.’ Well, how about this drone swarm? ‘We'll give you an exception for that.’” “And I was like, exceptions don't work. I can't predict for the next 20 years all the things we might use AI for.” @jason: “If you find out there's another 9/11 unique black swan event that's going to occur, you’d have to go clear it with them?” Emil: “That was literally the comment. It was in a room of 20 people, so this is undeniable if Dario wants to deny it, and I was giving these scenarios, these Golden Dome scenarios, and so on, and he's like, ‘Just call me if you need another exception.’” “And I'm like, ‘But what if the balloon's going up at that moment and it's a decisive action we have to take?’ Like, I'm not gonna call you to do something. It's not rational. And that was another ‘holy cow’ moment of, like, how they think about it.”

Trump Lies and Says it was NOT Jesus, it was him as a Doctor You really can't make this crap up POTUS: I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with the Red Cross as a Red Cross worker there, which we support, and only the fake news could come up with that one (that he is depicted as Jesus Christ). So I had just heard about it, and I said, how did they come up with that? It's supposed to be me as a doctor making people better, and I do make people better. I make people a lot better.

Chanhyuk: Company doesn’t matter, but it’s about the people you work with. “There’s also something like this. Even though we say we created a “company,” we just used that word because it’s easier for people to understand. But in the end, it’s not really about the company, it’s about the people. Like, who you work with. And what kind of experiences you share with them, that’s what really matters the most. So with these people, whether we go, volunteering or travel somewhere, we always move together as one group. Because if not and later on, when I write and release a song, if we hadn’t shared those experiences, I’d have to explain everything. Like, “I went somewhere and had this kind of experience…” But since we’ve all lived it together, I can just say, “Hey, I wrote this kind of song this time,” and they’ll be like, “Oh, yeah, I get it. I know exactly what that is.” It just makes everything so much faster, right?”

Brian Armstrong (Brian Armstrong ) on why founder-led companies are special: Brian: We thought maybe 50% of the company would resign. David: What would've happened if 50% of the company resigned? Brian: We would've built it all back. This is actually a very important point because I think there's a big difference between a founder and a presider of a company. I know that I could build it back because I started it when it was just me on a laptop. And I was there when it was 10 people and 100 people and 1,000 people. And if we need to go from 2000 to 1000 that's not a big deal to me. I could go back to being on my laptop again if I had to. There's this great Lee Kuan Yew [founder of Singapore] speech that he gave when he was dealing with a strike that was happening. He says in this speech, and it gives me chills every time, he says I sat across the table from them and said get back to work. I will not allow you to bring this country down. And if you don’t do it, I’m prepared to rebuild it all from scratch again. And he said anyone who rules Singapore has to have iron in their veins. I will rebuild it all from scratch. I was watching videos like that and was like this is what I need to do as a leader. It was very inspiring. There are moments like that. You have to stand up and say: We're going in this direction and if you're not on board with it, that’s okay, you can leave. But we're going this way. That's leadership.

Rick Rubin on being addicted to the miracle of creation: “I like the moment of revelation. So we're working on something and it's just okay. It's boring. I'd rather not be there. That's how it feels. But then something happens and it's like magic. Something appears. It's not like we made it. Something comes up in the process. It's conjured in the process. It’s like a miracle and that's the thing that's addictive. That feeling when it's like it's not good, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good. We try something and it doesn't work. Try something else and it doesn't work. But then all of the sudden what we're listening to is really cool. That's the [addictive] feeling, that moment of discovery where it goes from nothing to something really good. And then the whole rest of the process after that is protecting that because it's super delicate. When it happens it's like this miracle happened and this magic thing happened and now we have to protect it through the rest of the process to not ruin it. It's scary because you don't want it to end. You don't want it to stop because we know if it stops, we can't control it. We can't do it again. It's not like that. It's this moment in time where something magical happens. So we spend a lot of time waiting and I can't say that's fun. Waiting is not fun.”

“What I think SPX is, is a wake-up call. And I think for the normie, the average person, it literally is best described as being the next Bitcoin, because that's literally what it is. Bitcoin was a wake-up call to show people that value is subjective. And SPX is the next iteration of that. And once you get enough people to understand that the value of the dollar is subjective. It only has value because people believe in it. Bitcoin only has value because people believe in it. SPX has value because people believe in it.

And that's what Like, the purpose of this vehicle, yes, it's going to make a lot of people a lot of money, but the point of that is to wake people up to the fact that the entire universe is this subjective entity. It is not just this, like, empirical machine with interlocking gears and like this orderly machine that proceeds from just like the sum of its parts like no like we are literally the universe creating the universe and that's what spx is meant to wake people up to.” — Crypto Maxi 💹🧲

🦁: don't worry, guys. we do communicate with it. 🦁: we have an actual roleplay channel where we talk about rp, like what we plan to do and we ask people if it's okay to do this and this and this. we do communicate. there is communication. it's not just, "i'm gonna log in today and just like terrorize the town", you know? 🦁: it's mainly used for... just kinda letting people know what you are up to today or something. i think people can choose to be a part of it. 🦁: i guess the only thing that i really do need to do better next time is maybe things like big groups and stuff, like big expeditions. i feel like that needs to be limited to only maybe six people 🦁: i'm pretty sure it could coexist. you have crimp over here just building her circus. you have a lot of people seriously roleplaying over there. i think people can just take their business elsewhere, you know? 🦁: and again, i think we learned a lot trying this for the first time. it's definitely a good experience. #lucalive #VcraftEnchanted

OTD 28 years ago "The Strike" aired, and the world learned about "Festivus." We spoke with Dan O'Keefe whose father created Festivus. Dan was Not a fan of the episode, did Not want the episode to air, and to him, Festivus brings back deep rooted trauma. Dan explains: The way people adopted it, I didn’t see that coming. You gotta understand, I’ve been saying this for a while, yeah, that was my father, he was mentally ill and a drunk, but extremely brilliant. For whatever reason he invented this weird fucking extra holiday that was celebrated at random times. It did not have a set date. It was extremely upsetting. It was like borderline child endangerment, and it was not fun. So my brothers and I had this deal: you do not talk about it outside of the house, and we just try to pretend it’s not happening. But I didn’t pitch it, I didn’t want it to go in. I hoped it would fail and be edited out, and nevertheless, the damn thing survived. The reality is far weirder. I have the CDs that were remastered from the cassette tapes my dad used to make during the annual recording of this insanity, which is mostly him screaming about internal Reader’s Digest politics in a deep slur while my brothers are crying and my mom is telling him to simmer down. That was not something I agitated for, quite the reverse. So how do I feel about it taking off? I try to block it out. This holiday was basically an encapsulation of alcoholism and mental illness into one neat little wrapper. I was as surprised as anyone. I was not a booster of this. I was surprised it got on the air. I am beyond surprised that it seems to be something that has, to some extent, legs. There are still a few people who celebrate it. Good for them. I do not personally. I did my time on that in the ’70s and ’80s. Jerry Stiller made it fun. The real thing was terrifying, obviously, and you understood why George was not in favor of it. But he made it fun, and it was Jeff Schaffer’s joke—the idea to give it a pole. That was not the case. The real symbology of it was more peculiar and not as wholesome as an aluminum pole with a good strength-to-weight ratio.
