      One of the reasons I’m not an entrepreneur, despite having many necessary traits, is that I lack the ambition to work on things big enough to hold focus-lock through big news events like this. Good litmus test. If this can’t distract you from mission, you’re a true entrepreneur.

      But this is also the reason I can be a consultant: I’m distractible enough to pay more attention to the environment than I need to, so I can sell surplus situation awareness/orientation to clients who are so focused they pay less attention to the environment than they need to.

      Ah news. CNN just called Wisconsin for Biden and looks like Trump campaign is going to call for a recount. The margin seems to be ~20,000 votes so not surprising.

      Commercial break sponsored by Boeing. No matter who wins you can count on the military industrial complex to continue building cool shit. And now for a limited time, free Nespresso coffee machine with every F-15EX.https://twitter.com/BoeingDefense/status/1323321728378957824 …

      Aside: the commercial breaks are my favorite part of this livetweet thread. Trump campaign claims to have filed lawsuit in Michigan to halt counting till it has access to observe.https://www.cnn.com/politics/live-news/election-results-and-news-11-04-20/h_114cb9154af91ea8436b34d2a11a61ba …

      Venkatesh Rao Retweeted ***

      While waiting for real movement, a pseudoevent update: Kanye conceded I'm told he's a musical genius. I wouldn't know. But everything else about the guy strikes me as tedious and not very bright self-importance and I hope he slinks quietly off this stagehttps://twitter.com/platformpapi/status/1324083288361717760 …

          Kanye 2020 was a throwaway for 2024. I’d expect much more evil Kanye in a real campaign.
