Thug Putin Invades Ukraine show art Thug Putin Invades Ukraine

no gradient

Under bullshit pretenses, thug Putin has invaded the democratic, free, sovereign, absolute right-to-exist Ukraine. This is just as much about China, as it is about Russia. This is just as much about Taiwan, as it is about Ukraine. Russia and China are evil. They seek to destroy the international rules based order. Enough is enough. Free and democratic nations everywhere must ally to face head on the existential threat match made in hell that is Russia and China. The free and just world is with you Ukraine, keep fighting.

Riff on Morgan Housel's excellent on how the US economy has developed post WWII. Shifting from a tide that raised all boats to one that increasingly raising only some. Also add from The Economist showing social mobility in America is declining. Be careful of charlatans offering quick fixes. In an economic, business, and geopolitical landscape that looks like nothing we've ever dealt with- it's with a sober mind we must approach these discussions. Let's riff. Would love to hear from you.

In his latest Howard Marks covers how businesses and investing are changing, inflation and deflation, democracy in America, the role of the Fed, China, and my personal favorite- how the boomers fucked us.

Google Bids for DoD Contract show art Google Bids for DoD Contract

no gradient

Google has entered the ring alongside Microsoft, Amazon, and Oracle to bid for Department of Defense's Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability contract. You may remember back in 2018 when Google employees protested Project Maven, a Google DoD AI project that among other things sought to increase the accuracy of drone strikes. Google did not renew that contract but now they are back in earnest. Good. China and Russia seek to destroy us and the rules based global order that has lead to the most progress in the history of humanity. We need our best companies and smartest minds on this.

Facebook Rebrands to Meta show art Facebook Rebrands to Meta

no gradient

Facebook announced they are renaming their company to "Meta" as they shift their focus to the metaverse (think VR). This is a seismic bet Zuckerberg is making. Something that only a founder would have the leeway to do. I'm skeptical but history is riddled with people who lost betting against Zuck. If anyone can do it, it's him. Strap in.

Facebook via WhatsApp already provides private, secure, and end to end encrypted messaging to over two billion people- more than any other company on the planet. They've take that a step further by enabling end to end encrypted chat backups. So no one, not Facebook or Apple and Google where the backups are stored, can view your messages.
