@medeabenjamin Aw…such a shame you couldn’t have your little white savior experience with Cubans. Is this what you were expecting? You condescending fool, presuming to lecture those who’ve experienced the Cuban reality with your clueless views on the matter.

Once you internalize that modern liberalism is about freeing the individual from unchosen obligations, but that a well-lived life--according to any tradition, faith, or psychology--is about living within the limits and duties of a higher calling, our current insanity makes sense.

3. Apple was well aware of my writing before hiring me. My references were questioned extensively about my bestselling book and my real professional persona (rather than literary one). This set of prominent Valley VCs and execs are all willing to assert as much under oath.

1. Apple actively recruited me for my role on the ads team, reaching out via a former colleague to convince me to join. Apple found my experience in the ads space, specifically around data and privacy, highly relevant to their efforts and persuaded me to leave my then role.

Every smart, affluent parent in tech I know is wondering how to replace the American university in their child’s education. If it isn’t already, an Ivy League degree will be a midcurve phenomenon for truly normie strivers, a social credential of fading value and little else.

Insane footage on Russian social media from Makhachkala in the North Caucasus region, where there have been several anti-Semitic protests this weekend. A crowd of people, some with Palestinian flags, broke into the airport in search of passengers on a flight from Tel Aviv.

It's amusing to watch the very caste whose entire status rides on that little checkmark swearing up and down that they'd never be such losers as to pay for it. You're going to fork out for it (or your employer will). Who are you kidding? You'd pay more than $20 even. LMAO.

I don’t know about you, but the Afghanistan thing has me utterly bent out of shape. Rare these days to feel that giddy rush of History happening before your eyes, but this was it. Something has clicked in the cosmic order, an era is over, and matters will be forever different.

My last time in Paris, I visited one of the few remaining Jewish delis in Le Marais. There was a squad of Legionnaires in front protecting it. I thought: This would be like the 82nd Airborne protecting Katz's Deli in New York. Thank God the US is different. Well, here we are.

Struggling within the most ruthless capitalism to make the fortune necessary to insulate you and your family from leftist social experiments while paying public lip service to them is kind of the new American upper-middle-class vibe.
