Speaking as a guy who’s been in this industry since the β€˜90s: there is a very specific type of tech founder whose brain has certain important areas that are extremely underdeveloped. I don’t know much about these two, but this affliction disproportionately affects the ones you hear about the most.

In Texas, Trump flirts with defying his own movement The president is looking to endorse a senator he once called a β€œRINO” over a staunch ally who worked to try to overturn the 2020 election results, dismaying many in his MAGA base.

I realize it’s extremely unlikely, but imagine this scenario: Trump endorses Cornyn, but Paxton marches on and beats Cornyn anyway.

Principal vs. Principle: Loyalty in Communications The duty of senior advisors isn't agreement, it's candor. What real loyalty means for communications leaders and the principals they serve.

β€œWe get paid to give advice - especially when it's unwelcome. That's why generals cost more than soldiers.”

I wrote a thing about what loyalty actually means in leadership and communications.

The truth about Tucker Carlson – and it isn’t pretty The controversial US pundit is a fascinating and unpredictable figure. But he emerges from a new book as a slick opportunist above all

β€œLittle seems to keep Carlson awake, except for the demon that lives in his home and, according to Carlson, has physically attacked him on several occasions in the wee small hours.”

In light of the #Crypto crash now underway, the only safe haven is my old Trump memecoin. It's worthless and you definitely shouldn't buy any. But many people are saying, with tears in their eyes, β€œSir, it's the best rugpull ever” and you can upset the President with a just few $$.

Exactly. What good does it do to amend a document that these milksops don't care about?

Never Lie, Always Comment (Principled Transparency) β€” Anthony Citrano Organizations don't have to choose between honesty and confidentiality. Use principled transparency to maintain boundaries while simultaneously building trust and brand equity.

I wrote a thing about what I call β€œprincipled transparency” in communications - how organizations can maintain boundaries while simultaneously building trust and brand equity. Alternately titled β€œNever Lie, Always Comment”:

U.S. to build "Trump-class" warships for "Golden Fleet" "They'll be the fastest, the biggest, and by far 100 times more powerful than any battleship ever built," Trump said.

As if β€œTrump” and β€œclass” belong in the same paragraph, let alone the same sentence.

Who wants to tell Pete Hegseth that he's about to be the first member of Trump's second-term cabinet to get the boot? I'm surprised he lasted this long.

Exactly -- and, although I vote for them reliably, the Dems wouldn't know a β€œwinning message” if it kicked them in the face.

The only truly new information we're getting from the Epstein emails is the fact that Jeffrey Epstein was functionally illiterate. I get some pretty poorly-crafted emails, but I've never seen anything like this. And this dude taught at Dalton?

Yes. Subtract AI β€œinvestment” and we are in a recession.

You’re probably right. I suspect it depends on the company. Anecdote: I had lunch with a public-company COO who believes they can get rid of their (already-offshored) customer service staff because generative AI can do it. He said nothing of doing it better, of course.

I’m deeply skeptical too, but a lot of CEOs I’ve talked to absolutely believe this shit. They have bought it hook, line, and sinker and we’re going to see massive pain as a result (including at these companies).

1. This is CBP, not ICE
2. Law enforcement agencies have long had access to all kinds of shit they shouldn't
3. It's great to see that neighborhood welcoming committee in action!

Yes indeed! But online, everyone says "ICE" even when it's CBP or someone else. This thread is a great example.

Everyone gets β€œUnit/Uniform” wrong - for example, this is CBP, not ICE.
