I interviewed for a growth position at Revolut a couple of years ago. They asked if I had questions for them, I said yes. The HR person sighed deeply and said “so you’ve heard about us,” and that was a big enough 🚩 for me to decline the next interview.

I don't think you should worry about sounding like AI when you write. I don't think you should worry about AI, period, especially with that molotov cocktail just sitting in your hand. The lighter clicks. The data center beckons. A soft summer breeze tousles your hair as if to say: Attaboy.

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

If you guys think this Geese story is scandalous (I don’t), wait until you find out how much AI UGC populates the algorithms. Yes that’s a dystopian concept, and yes it’s a big reason I’m leaving tech marketing.

I care about ballet and opera a lot more than I care about Timothee Chalamet, but I will always maintain a baseline level of respect for a man who convinced the world for like three straight years that the height of glamor is to look like a pixie that's six months late on its Mustang payments

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests

While it made it as far as dress rehearsal, Tommy Brennan's Weekend Update desk bit on Trump's ICE deployments in his home state of Minnesota did not make it to SNL broadcast. But they've made it available anyway. And you should watch it.
