It's part of the lore. You know what I mean? And he lost his courage. He's like, no, no, I'm not taking that back. And I probably overshot. I should have gotten like 100 bucks or something. I probably overshot the mark. So I guess what I am today celebrating, I guess, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and the death of Warren Harding. Not the life, mind you, but only the death.

Scandal-ridden presidency. Teapot Dome scandal. Each president has a nickname associated with them. I was super into the presidents as a kid. Really? Hmm, that didn't seem earnest.

I feel like I'm like the Deep Seek R1 model. He has said something that does not seem earnest. It may be sarcastic. I will need to ask a further probing question to know if... And the Warren Harding's nickname was The Man from Main Street, which is... It kind of tells you this is not a sparkling presidency. But that was when the standards for the presidency were different.

And now I would take Warren Harding a thousand times over.

You've got my vote. I'll take that. That sounds terrific. I can feel a sense of rectitude just the way you say it. Yes. So anyway. Randy, welcome as we celebrate.

Well, so as you know, there are many episodes, many, some episodes, in which we get trolled. We get trolled by a tweet. We get trolled by a blog post. And I know that you have thought to yourself, well, this is good because this is not one of those episodes. But this actually is one of those episodes, unfortunately. And it's got nothing to do with the meta ad. Don't worry. I'm not going there.

The... Um, or no further there anyway. So the, the reason that this is actually the, there is kind of a, uh, an underlying troll here is there was this, uh, and I, and again, I, I don't want to over index on the more, it's more of the sentiment that this, uh, was a tweet, uh, But I've posted the blue sky post in the channel. And it is from, let's just say, a young technologist in Silicon Valley.

It doesn't really matter who. And the tweet is, Silicon Valley built the modern world. Why shouldn't we run it? And this is in kind of tacit support of what we are seeing currently in Washington in this kind of this very much move fast, break things approach to the government, which is breaking a lot of things, as it turns out.

And, you know, and Randy, I imagine, I mean, surely you must feel the same way of just like your skin crawling when you have someone who is not just choosing to speak for Silicon Valley, but someone who is so grossly unqualified and speaking in a way that so doesn't represent so many of us in Silicon Valley. Yeah.
