I can promise this: The Senate will not vote to leave NATO and abandon our allies just because Trump is upset they wouldn’t go along with his reckless war of choice.
Thank you to @SecRubio for sponsoring the bill in 2023 requiring a two thirds vote of the Senate to make sure clueless presidents couldn’t act on a whim.

Sam Harris: "Joe [Rogan] is [...] honestly in over his head on so many topics of great consequence"
"[Dave Smith] is a pure misinformation artist"
"Our society is as politically shattered as it is in part because of how Joe [Rogan] has interacted with information"
Good time to push for a real CANZUK trade bloc—UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Strong enough to stand alone and push back, but aligned with the US, EU, and others where it makes sense. Adding Singapore, India, etc., would be great, but not realistic atm.

Startups need to show investors how they've cut burn
You can let go of staff. Or make them more efficient
But new systems driving efficiency rely on staff to adopt them
And most Startups don't do the work needed to persuade them.
These 4 pillars stop that and persuade teams:
1. Reciprocity: We are trained from early on to want to give back to those who have given to us first
2. Liking: We prefer to say yes to those we like
3. Social proof: We look to others to judge whether we should do something ourselves
A people paradox for marketers to navigate -
We like to be told what to do and yet want to be in control of our actions
When selling, rise above spin with hard data to support your idea – be specific, clear and evidence-led.
Adjective-laden descriptions will never be as powerful.
Speaking clearly, concisely and with confidence will help people take what you have to say seriously. And help them to agree with you.
Churchill won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953 for ‘mastery of descriptions and brilliant oratory in defending exalted human values’
Who are the best speakers in recent front-line politics? Obama?
Can’t think of many other genuinely powerful orators

42 days? Long enough for Liz Truss to call herself an ex-operator and become a VC.
