I said it in 2021, I've said it a bunch since, and I'll say it again now: You're not afraid of "killer AI" and "robot overlords," you're afraid of white supremacy, ableism, patriarchy, hegemony, extractivism, kyriarchy, and capitalism.

The money pit restaurant I would open as a billionaire would be the opposite of farm to table. What are the most unnatural flavors possible? Hiring top food scientists, giving a blank check and telling them to really explore the dark corners of the flavor latent space. I want to taste eternity.

Person one: Taught my kids how socialism works. Let them trick or treat while I stayed home. Then took all their candy. Socialism 101.

Person two : The socialism part is where the community came together and fed your kids for free. The capitalism part is where you made them do all the work and stole from them.

A customer just tried to use an employee discount code that ChatGPT gave her. I work at a high-end clothing store and clocked in to my manager telling me about the most unhinged interaction from yesterday. A woman walked in asking if she could use a 40% off code she got online. We don't have any sales running, so my manager looks at the screen and realizes ChatGPT straight up handed this woman a real employee's internal ID number.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

The image is of a four panel comic.
The first panel shows Sarah, the protagonist, working at a desk. A brain next to her says, "We need to take breaks!"
The second panel zooms in on Sarah's face. She is annoyed. She says, "What if I don't listen to you?"
The third panel shows the brain smiling.
The fourth panel shows the brain reaching towards a lever. The brain says, "I'LL MAKE YOU."

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

I wrote about this happening in the art world beginning in March 2025, after tariffs were first implemented against Canada and Mexico: www.artnews.com/art-news/mar...
Before the implementation of the tariffs, Nielsen had just spent the last several weeks in Mexico City, meeting local collectors and speaking with galleries about connecting its art market to Canadian collaborators. “They want access to bigger markets,” she said. “But they’re also looking for alternatives to America.”

“If the Americans just want to be by themselves, then you know, the world is a big place, right?” Bulger said. “There are lots of different friendships and alliances that can form really quickly—they might form because we’re in this economic war. In times of strife, people develop fast friendships with people that are in similar circumstances. If that’s what the States wants, that’s what they’re going to get.”
