  I run a fun portfolio with our IRA investments with the target the past few years of demolishing Cathie Wood of ARK Investments returns. I figure if an AI/ML engaged CISO with a finance and banking undergrad can beat an emerging tech hedge fund leader, that's not bad. Here's this year's portfolio components vs ARKK.Buying NVIDIA as Cathie liquidated her holdings definitely gave me the most boost. #NotInvestingAdvice

  I'm a little concerned about what's shaping up for the 2024 general election.

  @AlicornSkyler Years ago my startup regional Internet service provider learned of a BBB complaint filed by a former customer terminated for nonpayment under the terms of service. When we contacted the BBB they noted we were not paying members and without that they couldn't permit us to respond to the false, defamatory claims they were publishing. It was evident their business practices were akin to extortion and we declined to fund such an outfit. Two decades later I've seen...

  While Truth Social is suing 20+ media firms for "falsely reporting that TMTG had lost $73 million," Donald Trump's team probably should look at the financial statement they filed with the SEC. Did they lie about that too? $75 million in accumulated deficit is right there... if anything, the media spotted them $3 million by being conservative.

  Imagine being a scholar so significant, so breakthrough-innovative that giants like Noam Chomsky bow before you... only to have a council of global capital dismiss you because you dared posit Ethics in the international system. C. West Churchman was the philosopher we all needed to learn from.

  X/Twitter is such a curious failure. Tried a monitoring account once again. No significant interaction but there to follow news and cyber. After thirty days the slew of absolute junk ads began: Chinese garbage Christmas toys. Knock-off mens clothing. Falun Gong "China Culture" ads. Nonstop Epoch Times conspiracy nonsense. Against my better instincts I started muting and then blocking on Friday. Blocked about 40 accounts and... PERMANENT SUSPENSION No notice. No warning. No...

  @LALegault Every expert analyst warned Hillary and the DNC that she was toxic and unelectable. "There is no world where you win. Only a world if you run that you elect Trump." Hillary famously cackled and ignored the expert advice. Ruth Bader Ginsberg did the same, leading to the destruction of Roe. Uncontrolled egos are killing America. Joe Biden had his role but he proved incapable for four more years. Step aside.

  I've been kinda curious... is there much of a retro computing community here? I've been resurrecting an Apple IIgs which has led to some absolutely absurd decisions, like installing an AppleTalk network, buying some gateways for TCP/IP, and even looking at adding some mid-80s UNIX systems like Sequent Computing and NeXTStep Cubes. If you're into these weird retro ventures and resurrections, reach out.

  @santiago @colin_mcmillen Especially agree with you on NeXT Cubes!
