29 and just here to chill and do fun things
Joined December 2015
Had no idea about how this worked until last weekend. “We’re just rich on paper we can’t sell our shares” is really “We can totally sell our shares but then we’d have to pay taxes, so we take out loans with our shares as collateral, tax-free.”
Closing the “buy-borrow-die” loophole via an excise tax could raise $100–$147B by targeting tax-arbitrage borrowing on individuals with >$100M in assets.

It’s fun to do this thing where we pretend getting handed literal piles of cash by rich people is unrelated to the happy coincidence that you peddle the type of shit that absolves rich people of responsibility
I am genuinely confused about why people are mad at an opinion columnist and podcaster getting paid to give talks about his opinions and his work. Is the argument that no one should ever be paid a speaking fee…? Or only people you personally dislike?

A mini-series titled “Big City Teens,” a spin-off of ‘BIG CITY GREENS’, was one of several pitches Disney received when attempting to expand the franchise. The series would have featured teenage versions of Cricket, Tilly, and Remy. Disney passed on the pitch. #BigCityGreens

Love to see a free speech warrior type get so mad about a book cover that he launched the kind of lawsuit that anti-SLAPP laws were passed to disarm
I’ve never taken a dime from any billionaire and Eoin Higgins wrote a book that calls me “owned” and “bought” ON THE COVER. I’m obligated to sue him and Hachette books in this situation. Absolutely outrageous

Charlie Kirk was an evangelical. Are you saying he was a grifter and that majority of the GOP base are grifters?

The new universe “failed” because Marvel is genuinely fucking stupid and just killed it for no actual reason. This shit is only going to look worse as Absolute keeps going, and Marvel realizes they could have had just as much success as DC for this specific era.

You received documents from the RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD & you confessed in writing that you "repeatedly declined to criticize" him so that you could profit off of publishing said documents on your Substack which you also directly reference in the same exchange.

“the billionaires I’ve met over the years” is a hilarious giveaway
The calculation appears to be that, with a careful mix of bad faith and helpful bit of algorithmic amplification from Musk, they can polarize online liberals into hating labor unions and small business owners more than billionaires.

This shit reminds me of when some dude tried to correct me saying the halo carbine shot plasma instead of radioactive cartridges then crashed out saying it’s a 343 retcon and then said the game manual for halo 2 isn’t canon.

Going out as he came in, combining words in orders you’ve never considered before
In what may be his final mayoral press conference, Eric Adams says his next act will involve "using cryptocurrency to go after violence, educate our children and deal with antisemitism."
