Cards Against Humanity could have been the first drunk party game ever played on Mars. Instead, they chose the approval of dudes with neckbeards.
My take from today’s Pirate Wires Daily 👇
Today, 𝕏 filed suit against a group accused of organizing an advertiser boycott of the platform.
Check out my primer on this global advertising network below 👇
Internal emails revealed by a governmental report suggest that GARM — a global cabal of the world's biggest advertisers that 𝕏 and Rumble filed lawsuits against today — polices speech online by leveraging its influence over the advertising space to starve ideologically
For all of its flaws, at least we can say this about “VCs for Kamala”
She finally has an affinity group that isn’t more segregated than a city bus in 1950s Alabama!
If you only read mainstream news analysis of last night’s debate, you likely missed Tim Walz once again claiming (wrongly) that hate speech isn’t protected under the First Amendment.

Walz Doubles Down on Punishment for Hate Speech, MSM Continues to Ignore It
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz reiterated his belief that “hate speech” isn’t protected under the First Amendment at last night’s vice presidential debate.
The remarks came after Trump VP pick JD Vance
“Ask not how your country can help you get hammered, ask how you can get hammered to help your country.”
TGIF, folks. My take from today’s edition of the best daily newsletter on the internet 🥃👇
A worthy project that signals a clear shift for the industry (TechCrunch notwithstanding...)
Read my first full-length for Pirate Wires — all about the new merit-based job board that’s here to disrupt the DEI paradigm. 👇
Tech’s Merit-Based, Mission-First Job Board
When Scale CEO Alexandr Wang recently posted about his company’s policy of hiring for MEI (merit, excellence, and intelligence) over other factors like race or gender, the reception to his announcement perfectly illustrated the vibe

Jack Dorsey raised eyebrows last week after revealing he resigned from Bluesky’s board, and calling both X and Nostr "freedom technologies."
Today,

Today, California state lawmakers are set to vote on a package of 14 anti-crime bills intended to curb retail theft and drug trafficking.
But there’s a catch — top Democratic leaders in the state are trying to implement poison pill provisions that would make these new anti-crime
The Senate just passed our first-in-the-nation legislation (SB 961) to require new vehicles to be equipped with passive speed governors — alerting drivers when they exceed 10 MPH over the speed limit.
Studies show that this technology gets people to slow down. It saves lives.
I’m just glad that the testimony from a disbarred guy who lied to Congress and then admitted to more lies in court wasn’t just relied on as the major piece of evidence in a court decision that will cause half the country to lose faith in our justice system or anything like that

Early this morning, while everyone in the United States slept, President Biden was participating in the G7 summit in Italy. His stamina is so impressive. He’s constantly traveling around the world working for us no matter what time it is. It’s remarkable.
from widespread celebration of the frat boy patriots to tech's embrace of the juiced up CEO, anti-masculinity is over. america is entering the age of chad.
MUSK: I was tricked into giving puberty blockers to my son. These are sterilization drugs. My son Xavier is dead. They call it deadnaming for a reason. Killed by the woke mind virus. This is the reason I vowed to destroy the woke mind virus.
In some huge news, we just launched the Pirate Wires site, an independent home for our community and work. It's been a long journey, with miles more to go, but I've never been so excited for the future. Raise the banners, light the fires, tell everyone:

Create a horny AI girlfriend. Base it off Scarlett Johansson in the movie Her. Literally tweet “her” after launch. Nice. That’ll get them talking. “Hey Samantha — err, I mean ScarJo — can we use your voice?” She tells you to f off. You do it anyway.

Everyone please leave Taylor Lorenz alone, she has important investigative work to do like *checks notes* figuring out what’s up with all the trad wives on her new platform.
My take from today’s Daily 👇
Sure when Carville says it he's making a prescient point about the shifting American political landscape, but when I say it I'm "overserved" and "need to leave the Outback Steakhouse"
I think we can all agree Diddy went too far at the LSD AGI CNC party.
He took “move fast and break things” way too literally and will no longer be invited in the future.
