It’s a little heartening that a private research university isn’t letting big government over regulate them. #Trump is just jelly greater—much greater—🇺🇸presidents are #Harvard alumni. His HHS secretary went there too.🤷‍♂️ https://www.thecrimson.com/article/2025/4/15/harvard-denies-trump-demands/

I think I had the same facial expressions as Akaash Singh while listening to Chamath Palihapitiya frankly talk about the level of access he has as a mega donor to the #Trump administration compared to when he was a mega donor to Obama and Biden https://youtu.be/EmDt_zAlL8E?si=mWmuajkVXRolSWpG&t=4294

Everyone should ask why #Trump shared this TikTok video—riddled with inaccuracies—about purposefully crashing the stock market https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114279679572830449 Buffet said no such thing. 61% of Americans own #stocks. The rich benefit from what #Republicans are doing.

If #Trump actually manages to run for a third term, we’re totally drafting #Obama, albeit he’d certainly decline.😅https://barackobama.medium.com/conversation-at-hamilton-college-0c44228ac0bd Here’s hoping more Americans demand their🇺🇸Rep & Senators check POTUS on things like “emergency” #tariffs.

It’s sad people who paid attention in #Econ101 get to experience #Trump 's economic "disturbance" while people who support him get to learn how #tariffs work the costly way. He lies about how tariffs work yet is owning " #LiberationDay "📉😬—so far https://x.com/WhiteHouse/status/1907533090559324204

RIP #ValKilmer. Otherwise, #Apple ‘s bday & #TacoTuesday were pretty good…Nice job #WI & Sen. #Booker. Hat tip to #OpenAI for their #AprilFoolsDay prank that had me worried our #ChatGPT Team was compromised & #AGI happened.😂Here’s hoping the poorly-named US " #LiberationDay "🙄doesn’t totally suck.

I share Synder’s bewilderment of #Trump ’s #Russia & #Ukraine strategy https://substack.com/home/post/p-158132584. It’s frustrating the US is squandering weakening #Putin at a relatively bargain cost given the Ukrainian people are bearing the brunt of sacrifice in defense of their democratic nation.

My little act of protest today was to setup a modest monthly donation to the #DCCC. I prefer to give directly to candidates I like but the 2026 midterms are going to be so crucial for winning back the House. Unfortunately, #Trump will do a lot of damage in the meantime & can’t be stopped until 2028.

I wonder on #SteveJobs 70th birthday how he would’ve handled #Trump back in 2016 & now in #2025. 😅 This clip of Steve from 2007, the dawn of #iPhone & smartphone-driven social media, feels like such a long time ago – https://stevejobsarchive.com/newsletters/on-the-origin-of-make-something-wonderful

The National Center for Public Policy Research got me to vote early for Apple’s #2025 shareholder meeting. The “non-partisan” conservative think tank wants #Apple to EOL their REJI initiative https://www.apple.com/diversity #AAPL didn’t become AAPL by following MSFT, GOOG & META who’ve ditched #DEI.
