Can we all just pause for a sec and reflect on how fucking important Tailscale is, and how nobody ever talks about them? I don't think I've ever seen a more useful service with a more invisible corporate footprint.

Explaining to TradFi guys I meet at conferences that insulting Dear Leader is to North Koreans what garlic is to a vampire is an endlessly gleeful factoid to me
That a group could be amongst the most sophisticated threat actors on the planet, yet have such a simple weakness, is something most people just couldn't conceive of on their own. Their reactions to learning about it are an endless source of entertainment

UPDATE: Harry has now threatened us with legal action after I exposed him for celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk.
Welcome to consequence culture, Harry.
Patriots keep it up.
Meet Harry Rosenthal. He is a senior at College of Charleston and an intern at the historic Charleston foundation.
He made a TikTok celebrating “Kirk Hashana.”
You can contact the historic Charleston foundation here: (843) 723-1623
.@CofC do you condone political violence on your campus?

🚨 UPDATE 🚨
We’re now sliding into DAY 3 of Carnegie Mellon’s Professor Uju Anya scandal, and somehow it’s getting uglier.
After catching backlash for suggesting on social media that she would dance on the graves of white men, her latest response to any American criticizing her is simple:
“EAT SHIT.” 😐
As American taxpayers continue pouring $455 MILLION in federal funding into Carnegie Mellon’s coffers, here are some notable quotes from this academic luminary:
- “Die first, white man, then ask yourself why I’m dancing.”
- On the one year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s murder: “He’s a shitbag. May he rot in piss.”
- On Queen Elizabeth’s failing health: “I heard the chief monarch of a thieving and raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating.”
Americans work for every dollar Washington takes from them. Using those dollars to fund THIS? Absolutely indefensible.
Editor’s Note: I don’t think this genius knows what the definition of doxxing is, but that’s the least of her problems.

Hey @CarnegieMellon, your racist professor is apparently doubling down on Instagram from behind her locked account.

🚨 BREAKING: Nick Shirley just went FULL THROTTLE at the EPIC Islamic Center in Texas.
He showed up to film. Peacefully.
They didn’t debate him.
They didn’t welcome questions.
They hunted him down on their property and told him to get out.
A Muslim man follows him, pointing, demanding:
“Are you a Muslim?! This is NOT for you.”
Not “this is private property.”
Not “please stay on the sidewalk.”
Straight up: You’re not one of us. Leave.
Nick didn’t flinch. Camera rolling the entire time.
This isn’t a misunderstanding.
This is the mask slipping.
They built it. They control it.
And they just told America, on camera, that parts of Texas are off-limits unless you convert.
Cohabitation?
They just said the quiet part out loud.
Watch every second. This one is going to travel.

Anti-Israel.
Anti-America.

Why am I the only Democrat in the U.S. Senate that refuses to excuse this or defend any of those self-identified communists?

I keep trying to explain to people, but America doesn’t have a viable 3D printer company because we don’t have any of the underlying architecture.
Shocking how many people think a complex product is some singular thing you build at a “factory.”
A 3D printer is really just a featherweight CNC mill, so much so that they speak yeh same language (G-Code). You need:
- micron accurate linear rails
- Sub micron bearings for those linear rails.
- High resolution servo/stepper motors.
- Motion control chips and boards and stuff.
- Sheet metal, injection molding, various coatings.
America has *no* industrial base for *any* of this at consumer product scale. We invented or definitively innovated everything above, then the McKinsey set came in and convinced us to ship it all to China for the last 40 years.
So yea, sure… you can screw a 3D printer together in America, at great expense… but you are doing so with primarily Chinese components.
What we need is a bunch of uninvestible (by venture funds) businesses that are boring and competently supply a bunch of even more boring, medium margin, no-moat components.
This is what I keep coming back to. So many companies in the US and Europe, driven out of the printer business over the last few years. Each one was its own thing, there was a place for everyone, and we were all friends sharing innovations across the industry. Now everything is just a copy of a copy of a copy 📉
I'd do anything I can to make that possible again. I miss a lot of my friends from this business.
