Psychedelics are mainstreaming, fast. Today is the world's largest psychedelic conference, @PsychedelicSci . Multiple governors speaking, @GovernorPerry @GovofCO . 7,000+ attendees. Oregon and Colorado have already legalized psilocybin mushrooms. More coming soon.

awful piece of legislation that further disincentivizes businesses to locate in Oregon. literally forcing businesses to pay employees to strike. what could go wrong?.
Welp, the unions’ investment in Oregon Democrats paid off once again.

TikTok uniquely deprioritized followers, and every piece of content became a lottery ticket. Instagram and YouTube copied the model, and as a result, creators are reskinning the same ideas ad nauseam.

People sometimes don't like to see other people do well because makes their status drop, relatively. I wonder if that changes with AI robots. Generally, people at the bottom of the status ladder do the hardest work for lowest wages. But now robots are the new bottom.

There is an AI content backlash coming. People don't want to be fooled by AI. It's disorienting and reality distorting. Human content creators will join the union. TikTok and IG will struggle to add AI labels. X won't bother because they won't need to. A new AI first social.

I love the tiny corners of the internet where someone is just pouring their heart into some podcast, blog, etc. Reminds me when I went to the end of the burning man playa at midnight and found a young couple pouring artisanal coffee and playing smooth jazz.

There is so much positive ROI for home contractors who share their projects online. The fact that 99% still aren’t is mind-blowing.

New Mexio will become the 3rd state to legalize psilocybin mushrooms, after Oregon and Colorado. Passing the Senate 33-4 and the House 56-9, set to launch December 31st, 2027. Steady growth from here on out.

RT @tanvi_ratna: Trump’s new tariffs aren’t a trade tweak—they’re the first move in a full-spectrum reset. $9.2T in debt matures in 2025.….

The sooner people understand this, the faster we can change.
US universities were the best in the world when they sourced the best in the world. But now they don’t do that, because of DEI. And soon they can’t do that, because of visas. So, they just become regional players. And China takes the #1 spot.

What started as social media evolved into a gold rush of engagement media—shifting attention from friend feeds to algo-fed content. Just like the shift toward organic, nutrient-dense food, people are craving substance over empty calories online. Now is the time for.

"let's say you have a bunch of friends who are caring, thoughtful, great listeners, and wise". Wishful thinking. unfortunately. The real "work" isn't talking, it's living with the new insights. "why not do 20 or 40 hrs of it right away - to get it DONE?". The same reason you.
Unpopular opinion:. If the average person in therapy spent their $200-400 per session on shared meals with friends throughout the week instead —. They’d probably be much happier.

He's either smart enough to realize he must rebrand, and this is it. Or dumb enough to continue with the same shallow minded and hypocritical posture in a format that will eventually eat him up. Podcasts are exposure. Long form consistent public conversations eventually.
I'm launching a NEW PODCAST. We need to change the conversation. I'm talking directly with people I disagree with, people I look up to, and you -- the listeners. Egg prices? Tariffs? DOGE? We're tackling all your big questions. This is Gavin Newsom. Subscribe now ➡️
