Simplest way for corporate journalists to get blue checks en masse would be for their organizations to go gold and affiliate them. Stop pretending this is a personal expense. It’s a business expense.
Similarly, it would be a smart idea for Hollywood talent agencies to pay for their celebrities via the Verified Org Affiliates feature. Celebs would get blue checks. The agencies would get the benefit of the association.
Same thing is true for sports leagues etc. It’s dumb that Orgs aren’t competing to affiliate their celebs. Benefit far outweighs the cost.
At @craft_ventures, we’ve been paying for blue checks for our employees for awhile now, and they also display the Craft affiliate badge. Good deal for both sides.

With Americans becoming exhausted with the Forever Wars in the Middle East, the “democracy promotion” grifters at USAID, NED, and the rest of the NGOs needed a new cause. Ukraine was perfect. As the most corrupt country in Europe, it would allow them to expropriate billions…
It’s no coincidence that the mass pardons for the Biden Family go back to 2014. That’s when Biden authorized the Maidan Coup and Hunter Biden was rewarded with a fake board seat at Burisma.
When Putin threatened to invade Ukraine in response to Biden’s insistence that it join NATO, it was a dream come true. War would allow expropriation on an unprecedented scale. Even Zelensky recently admitted a hundred billion is missing.

On the latest episode of @theallinpod (29:40), I demoed @GlueAI using ChatGPT-4o. Much has already been written about the conversational and multimodal abilities of GPT-4o but I wanted to highlight how good the performance is for SaaS apps like Glue.🧵

Glue is a new work chat app that is based on threads rather than channels and makes AI a full-fledged member of the team. We created a new workspace for the All-In Pod and added all of our episode transcripts so the AI would have that context. Image
GlueAI (using ChatGPT-4o) did a remarkable job summarizing each Bestie's personality and contributions to the pod. (Glue shows clickable "Sources" for the AI's answers, which is nice.) Image

In 1991 the Soviet Union fell apart and NATO faced an existential crisis: its reason for being no longer existed. But rather than disband, it came up with a new mission: to expand. And in a self-referential loop, NATO expansion would create the hostility needed to justify itself.
Bureaucracies often take on a life of their own and end up causing the very problems they were supposed to solve.

NIH was supposed to prevent pandemics, so it funded gain-of-function research, causing a pandemic.

NATO was supposed to prevent a war, so it expanded to Russia’s border and sought to encircle it, provoking a war.
People outside the bureaucracy believe its job is to solve problems. People inside the bureaucracy understand that their job is to expand their power. That typically happens when problems get worse.

Didn’t see this one coming. Image
Budanov is the CIA’s man in Kiev. So why start telling the truth now? He’s directly contradicting Nuland’s narrative. 🤔

The U.S. can only produce about 1,000 artillery shells per day. The Europeans even less. The Russians are producing & using around 10,000/day. This is one of the reasons Ukraine is losing the war. Congressional action won’t fix this.
Another reason is air defense. Ukraine has run out, and the U.S. can’t deliver more without putting our own troops in the Middle East at risk. The Russians have total air superiority and are precision-bombing Ukrainian targets at will.
The third issue is that the Ukrainians are running out of manpower. One of Zelensky’s close aides told TIME Magazine that even if the U.S. and its allies come through with all the weapons they have pledged, “we don’t have the men to use them.”
