New bot just dropped: CPA Reply Bot. It exists because half of you CPAsplain a general rule you didn’t bother to check against my facts. (CPAsplaining = mansplaining, with a Form 1120-S and the confidence of someone who skipped the homework.)

A decade after the Dakota Access Pipeline debate captured national attention, this op-ed offers a broader look at how infrastructure decisions impact energy reliability and consumer choice for years to come.

OCTOBER 7, 2023: SHE KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO DIE. Libi Cohen-Meguri, a 22-year-old infantry officer, went to the Nova music festival. She was shot while fleeing the party. At 8:11 a.m., she called her parents and said: “I’ve been shot in the stomach, I’ve been shot in the arm, I’m losing blood. I’m going to die.” Calmly, quietly, she understood; these were the last minutes of her life. She asked her parents to call Tomer, her twin brother, and Maya, her little sister, and said: “I’m going to die. I just want you to listen to me. I love you, Yariv. You’re the best father I could have asked for. Mom, stop screaming. Just listen to me. You are the best mother we could have ever had. Don’t forget to be a good mother to Tomer and Maya after I die. Tomer, how lucky we were to live this life together. I love you. My Maya, never forget—you are the treasure of my life.” When she finished speaking, her parents told her to get out of the car, lie down on the road, and pretend to be dead. With her last bit of strength, she got out of the car and laid down on the road. “Mom, they’re coming to shoot me again,” Libi said after lying down. While her mother listened on the phone, shouts in Arabic could be heard, and then a barrage of gunfire. It didn’t stop. It kept going, until the call was disconnected. And that’s how Libi died—with demonic beasts from the pit of hell standing over her and emptying a full magazine into her body. Libi died with LOVE on her lips: love for life, love for her family, and love for her people. Her memory will forever be a blessing. NEVER FORGET. NEVER FORGIVE. NEVER AGAIN IS NOW. Israel is hunting down every single Palestinian and Hamas terrorist who participated in the October 7th Massacre—to kill them all. They’re living on “borrowed time,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. Sooner or later, every one of these monsters will be found and eliminated.

All of you “Free Palestine” celebs need to read the stories of October 7th. This is one of many such atrocities. This was an invasion by 7K terrorists who brutally raped and murdered innocent women—an act of war. People like Zach Bryan can get bent.

Uncle Bib is also replacing his CPA. They have no idea what is coming.

Parasocial entitlement. One of the wildest phenomena I’ve encountered as I’ve grown into what is considered a large account on X is people who follow me because they love what I say, what I do, or what I stand for, but then somehow begin to believe they have a say in what I’m allowed to say, do, or believe. I didn’t know what this was, until a while back, so I’m assuming many of you don’t, so I’ll explain! They’ll comment or DM me, sometimes aggressively and angrily, saying, “That’s wrong. You should have said this.” Or, “You should have done that.” “You’re Greek Orthodox. You should be doing this to bring more people to the faith.” “You’re conservative. You should be saying this.” “You’re American. You should be talking about that.” “You’re Greek. You should be saying this.” Bro, what? Seriously, WTF! Nobody tells me what to do, you think you will? You followed me because you liked what I thought, and somehow along the way that turned into you thinking you get to decide what I’m supposed to think. That’s parasocial entitlement. Someone consumes enough of what you say and do that familiarity slowly turns into a sense of ownership. They feel like they know you, and for some people, that eventually becomes feeling like they have some kind of claim over you. And it gets even stranger when identity gets involved. People build a version of you in their head based on whatever part of your identity matters most to them. This is especially important for people like me that can talk about countless topics. The Orthodox follower has an idea of what “Orthodox me” should say. The conservative follower has an idea of what “conservative me” should say. The Greek follower has an idea of what “Greek me” should care about. The American follower has another set of expectations entirely. Every group can start acting like the particular reason they followed you is the reason you exist publicly. At first it’s: “I follow this guy because I like what he thinks.” Then somehow it becomes: “I follow this guy, therefore he should think what I think.” Then it turns into: “This guy needs to say that or else” But, many influencers don’t realize this problem and fall into the other trap. What’s that? If you’re not careful, that pressure can eventually turn into audience capture. You start changing what you say, what you talk about, or even what you believe because you know what your audience will reward and what they’ll punish. That’s when you stop being a person and slowly become a character your audience helped create. Maybe that’s why this phenomenon has always felt so bizarre to me. It’s like some people think this is a video game and because they follow you, support you, like your posts, or have been around for years, they’ve unlocked the ability to control the character. They haven’t. Following someone does not give you ownership over them, you are trying to purchase them with likes and comments. You can disagree with me. You can criticize me. You can think I’m completely wrong about something. But you don’t get a vote in who I am. Never did and never will. I’m authentic and unpurchased in every way, not just financially but mentally. I make mistakes. I’m certainly not perfect, but you can’t tell me what to do. You just can’t. You followed me because I was being myself so let me do that or just leave.

Only a matter of time until someone trains an open source model on the tax code and real strategy outcomes, then running ML scenarios to stress-test every move before the return gets drafted. And at that point, accountants are toast, right?

Brad will never be replaced by AI.

"1789 Capital -- a venture capital firm that lists Donald Trump Jr. as one of six partners along with three founders -- claimed a major stake in Anduril in June 2025 from a $2.5 billion investment into the company." This is not true. You are lying. Please correct your lies.

ABC = Always Be Conning.

Here is a CPA that understands how to leverage AI to solve a problem. Even though the first CPA doesn't understand this is a client consent and other portions of their software do the equivalent.

Hi, when you are done fiddling, please send resume of top crest designer. Make sure they can do better than the 1782 official national emblem of the United States. Maybe stick to sass apps.

Yep, CPA's will be the first to be replaced by AI. I thought it would be HR but I was wrong and man enough to admit that.

And notice he did NOT answer about what he's automated for his clients. I bet it's his invoice that he charges them for his "services" that I am way too dumb to understand. Or Claude. Or Grok. Or a specialized model with data trained on tax laws and strategies. We'll see...

Is it always this easy to dunk on CPA's 😂😂😂😂

@poteto mind looking into this one? Could use some PRs

Another accountant who has "automated" things and thinks the clanker workers are pushing nonsense. I asked what he's automated, and I am hoping it is an actual business process that is painful for business owners. Do you think this is it?
