Hey! If you wanna see my show (or buy my prints) or see Gustavo's show (or buy his prints) and you can't get to the gallery in Los Angeles this month, you can see it all here.

If you think Jensen Huang made some bad choices in his personal life, wait until you see what he’s been up to in his professional life

I say this as a man who, at 43, lives a moderately unconventional lifestyle but let this be a lesson in trusting a 63-year-old man who wears a cool dude leather jacket.
BREAKING: Nvidia is about to fire Jensen.

Season One, Episode Zero: Is Ween the Bizarro Beastie Boys?
Listen wherever you listen to things you listen to.
ALT Gene and Dean Ween in 1994
Did you know Niko Stratis and I have a show called Alright Hear This in which set we out to better understand history + culture by examining the careers of iconic bands? The first season is about the Beastie Boys, and the first[ish] episode ("Episode Zero") comes out tomorrow.

I’m sure this is fine
And the news gets worse. From Bloomberg:
Teter (Nvidia's GC) called Commerce Under Secretary Jeffrey Kessler to ask about the Megaspeed investigation and specifically about the detention of Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive, by the Singapore government.
In the weeks that followed Teter's call, BIS staff were restricted in their ability to look into Megaspeed, including being told not to mention the company in external communications and having to route all requests of Nvidia through Kessler or seek his approval for outreach.

Hi, my name is Alex Goldman and I am a journalist. I host a longform documentary podcast called @hyperfixedpod. Listeners write into us with their problems and I solve them. Here is a thread of some stories we've made recently that people liked:
Objectively funny that if you call the IRS for clarification on a letter, they have an outgoing message that's just like "try calling another day." Absolutely no joke.

Just a reminder that NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang won't see your snarky little jokes, but your friends who got honeypotted by a Chinese spy will 🙄
I pull from many resources in this episode, but big thanks to @Kaine_Hero12 for his work on putting together a complete history of Ween on YouTube.

C’mon fellas, who among us hasn’t fallen for a woman who wanted us to sell her billions of dollars of GPUs to a tiny no-name shell company that somehow can afford them and has a website that’s identical to a Chinese neocloud. It’s only that and cheating on his wife or 40 years
An alert:
@JensenHuang is human. And he is an incredible human. Even incredible humans make mistakes.
He takes full responsibility as he should.
We should all support him and his family.
Onward.
