Going forward “Shut the fuck up Travis” shall be the rallying cry against any luddite trying to slow technological progress.

Increasingly obvious that Elon’s purchase of twitter was a pivotal moment in American history

This simple meeting booking automation will save you 3+ hours every week.

I couldn't be more excited by the prospect of Michael Lai as supervisor. I feel hope for SF's future for the first time in 12 yrs here.

Many people are hating on this video, but I actually think it's a fascinating display of the two very distinct modes that exist to relate with reality: mimesis vs. first principles thinking.
