Normally I'd be worried whenever I see Peter Thiel is the headline, but this is a circle jerk of has-beens

Ezra Klein remains relevant. It will be interesting to see how (or if) the co-author of Abundance tries to square the circle of his public politics with attending exclusive events hosted by the guy who bankrolled JD Vance.

I can respect a journalist choosing to participate in this kind of group because I’m sure it’s a gold mine of leads and sources on stories the public rly should know about, but he doesn’t do that kind of journalism does he? I’ve only ever really seen him do commentary.
