I wrote a paper on why Boston's innovation economy is declining and what it would take to reverse it. It's called "Capital Is the Only Magnet." iancain.org/wp-content/upl…

“[Maura Healy’s] first time homebuyers program” solving decades - no, centuries - of blacks not owning homes or having wealth is a pretty insane claim. I love saying whatever you want, too. I gave someone a Coke Zero the other day and it ended the AIDS crisis.
How would Massachusetts' gubernatorial candidates address the racial wealth gap? Gov. Maura Healey and Mike Minogue respond.
Watch the full debate at link in bio.

I really have to hand it to the Mormons – I don't know many people who will talk to each and every person on a subway car. I'm not going to church with you on Sunday, but I genuinely appreciate the hustle. Nobody's got that kind of nerve anymore, let alone young people.

Big week for executions: one botched, one done, a public one announced. Between a tiger mauling a man, live war, disasters, and zero shared mores, I'm unshockable. Reminds me of this Tim Daly/Sean Young film I saw at 12, when I loved Wings & Ace Ventura: imdb.com/title/tt011173…

I'm calling it now - 2028 is going to be the most bananas election you've ever experienced. AI feeding your feeds, paid influencers, money everywhere. You think we're divided now? You haven't seen nothing yet. I can’t wait. Gird your loins!

Taylor Swift dropped new music & my feed said it's a coded announcement of the next global outbreak. It sent to a dream I captured in January 2019, where she floods a canal, washes society away & leaves the rest of us standing around with no idea how to rebuild a single thing.

I could never envisioned these two pairing, but @CJHopkins_Z23 provided me with great perspective and levity during the Covid days. I originally learned about CJ through @solari_the. This is a great conversation with @TuckerCarlson.
When C. J. Hopkins wrote a book about Covid zealots, he compared them to Nazis, because Nazis are bad. In response, Amazon banned his book and the German government arrested him. We’ve decided to republish the book, “The Rise of the New Normal Reich” available now at TuckerCarlsonBooks.com.

Leaders and people who hold positions are not the same. Leaders take responsibility for the position they hold, including successes and shortcomings.
Saying "the buck stops here" while blaming others for the shortcomings is weakness. This is holding a position, not leading.

That closes the show's first two-parter. Thank you, Alan Earls. The line I can't stop thinking about: a functioning city has people constantly bumping and connecting — that's what makes the lightning. Both parts live now. Next conversation coming soon. youtu.be/lQ4fLf-WmVE

Fear not. Relief at the pump is coming for mothers.
Motherhood is taking on a new meaning in Massachusetts as officials are now calling mothers “birthing persons,” Mike Minogue calls for relief at the pump, and Gov. Healey to launch new attack ad. bostonherald.com/2026/09/20/pol…

After Capital Is the Only Magnet: the Boom Belt, heartland to Texas, where economy is being valued on the middle of the country and the mobile 24-40-year-olds leaving Massachusetts are landing. Once they put down roots, they don't come back. More coming. youtu.be/lQ4fLf-WmVE

People love supporting ideas once they're successful. It's the early effort — the true coalition building — that most don't have the stomach for. Stop talking about it and go do it. Part Two with Alan Earls, out now. youtu.be/lQ4fLf-WmVE

The real winners of crypto's $500M spending spree: consultants, ad networks, super PAC operators.
Crypto was new market share for Politics as an Industry (PAAI). It was never a voting issue. It's not abortion.
Gallego took ~$10M in crypto support in 2024. He voted no. lol

Three centuries of Massachusetts pattern: born here, built elsewhere. Worcester steel went to Pittsburgh. IKEA landed in Stoughton. Geography is a constraint. Pretending otherwise isn't a strategy. Alan Earls, Part Two, out now. youtu.be/lQ4fLf-WmVE

One of the most meaningful things we heard during @blockchainwk was that QUBIC Labs gave someone their big break.
That’s exactly why we do this.
For seven years, we’ve worked to give founders access to strong supporters, mentorship, infrastructure, and meaningful opportunities e past five years, BBW has brought that mission to life by connecting founders with developers, regulators, investors, and established companies from across the industry.
We’re proud of the community we’ve built and even more excited about what comes next. 💙

Adoption doesn't start with explaining blockchain, it starts with building things people already connect with locally. Grateful for this one, @CrypticHumility! 👇🏽
One of the most impactful conversations I had during Boston Blockchain Week was with Ian Cain, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of QUBIC Labs.
QUBIC Labs, a Quincy, Massachusetts-based nonprofit startup incubator and innovation hub focused on blockchain and digital ponsible for holding Boston Blockchain Week. The organization supports entrepreneurs building at the intersection of financial technology, public infrastructure, and real-world adoption.
I shared something I’ve experienced firsthand through our street interviews in Boston: there can be full days where we’re talking to people who know nothing about the industry, don’t trust it, or simply don’t understand how blockchain can enhance their everyday lives.
Through this conversation, Ian explains that rather than asking people to understand blockchain first, it’s about creating real-world applications people can stand behind & connect to naturally within their own local communities.
And so the question lies:
To increase adoption, how do we introduce blockchain through things people already connect with on a local and civic level?
QUBIC Labs is working to answer that question. That’s why conversations like this with Ian are so important. They challenge us to think beyond the technology, focus on action, & bring blockchain tech into the world - in very real ways.
