Star Axis is complete. Fifty years in the making, land artist Charles Ross has finished his monumental observatory on a mesa in New Mexico. A staircase, aligned with Earth's axis, climbs to a open lens that tracks Polaris and the 26,000-year cycle of Earth's gravitational wobble.

SaaS feels kinda cooked. Instead of paying for a CRM or an email validator tool for prospecting, I just had an AI agent build me one that does exactly what I want it to do.

I'm looking for founder meetups and groups in the East Bay (SF) - might start one too if people are interested. Folks know of any good ones where people help each other out and commiserate?

I'm curious what hosting solutions people are using for their vibe coding projects. I've been using a Linode instance but I'm considering switching to Vercel, Heroku, AWS, GCP, etc.

Mirene, the tugboat home we're selling after 43 years, is a fine place to live as well as adventure in, according to this new article about her. She "comes with a renewable, rent-controlled, 10-year lease on a prime-location berth, which allows for easy access to the bay and overlooks one of the dock’s biggest and most beloved community gathering places."

Naval is mistaken that you should focus on policies rather than people. Policies are just words, especially in an election year. It's easy to invent attractive-sounding policies. Whereas it's practically impossible for people to change their characters. You already know this.

Go vote - this one matters. Focus on policies, not people. Vote for freedom, entrepreneurship, meritocracy. Vote against serfdom, censorship, bureaucracy. Go vote.
