David Sacks David Sacks is a throwback to the era of American greatness in which the most capable private sector citizens selflessly volunteered for government service in moments of peril for a dollar a day. He is a credit to our nation, and we need more like him, not fewer. 🇺🇸

I’m so grateful to be alive. The world is beautiful. I held to that beauty even in my lowest moments, and I feel it with me now. It’s always there, if you’re willing to see it.

Where are the *Republicans*!? I don’t know… Advocating for the repeat offenders that drive the overwhelming majority of these incidents to be incarcerated for lengthy terms. Remind me again where the Democrats are on things like three-strike sentencing enhancements, mandatory

INVESTIGATION: Chair of Stanford Earth Sciences Collaborates with China's Nuclear Program​​ Stanford’s Earth Sciences Chair has co-authored over 50 publications with HPSTAR, which officials describe as an “alias” for China's nuclear weapons program. 1/8

It was a mistake for science journals to start publishing opinion pieces only tangentially related to science. Such essays expose an ideological/political editorial slant that instantly lowers half the population's trust in the empirical papers. Just. Publish. Science.

I have a guest essay in The New York Times today about autonomous vehicle safety. I wrote it because I’m tired of seeing children die. Done right, we can eliminate car crashes as a leading cause of death in the United States Waymo recently released data covering nearly 100 million

Since people are (rightfully) upset by Minnesota sending $1B to scammers, it’s a good time to remember that City of San Francisco sends almost double that to unaudited NGOs who are routinely caught embezzling the funds. Our deficit is entirely from City of San Francisco funding scammers.

Everyone is up in arms at Tim Walz about Minnesota's $1 billion welfare fraud scheme, but everyone is still giving Newsom a pass on the $31 billion EDD fraud in California during the pandemic. Just sayin...Kane 謝凱堯

I would genuinely appreciate if a left-leaning proponent of criminal justice reform would defend this, and if there is no steelman argument — if nobody is willing to stand up and defend the practice of freeing rapists — I need to understand how it keeps happening

Our brilliant leaders at City of San Francisco are suing Slim Jim’s and Doritos for public health while hosting the most competitive fentanyl markets in the country:

Assimilation is awesome. More of this, please.

Matt Taibbi was talking on his podcast about how no one flinched during Obama’s presidency when they’d carry out the ‘double tap’ drone strikes: They’d drop a bomb on some ostensible terrorists. And then they’d wait and drop another bomb on the first responders: maybe some more

She is telling on herself, and the crazy far-left. Insane responses here are eye-opening. Me: Criminals convicted of multiple violent crimes should hang as a deterrent to protect the innocent. Them: same as hanging anyone we don’t like, including a CEO or billionaire like you.

The most depressingly ironic thing about leftists is that they hold the commons — collectively owned space — in utter contempt
