Fascinating new study about men’s friendships. There’s a lot of evidence here that the “male loneliness crisis” is actually a white, wealthy man problem. Other men are building friendships with similar depth to women’s friendships.

Chevron will not return as a sponsor of the French Quarter Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana, following pressure by a coalition in New Orleans as part of the #BoycottChevron campaign. Escalate now and hold them accountable for fueling Israeli genocide, apartheid, and climate disaster globally.

Reminder: slavery hasn’t been abolished in the United States. The 13th amendment says slavery is legal as a punishment for a crime. Black Americans have been living under mass incarceration for decades, what we are seeing is an acceleration of this system.

Anthropic has two simple messages these days. AI is going to destroy the economy by stealing all the jobs but don't worry they're building the "good AI" and the AI has already stolen the jobs of their development team but that's actually a good thing.

Anthropic says its buzzy new Claude Cowork tool was mostly built by AI — in less than 2 weeks
Boris Cherny, head of Claude Code, said that Anthropic's AI coded "pretty much all" of Cowork, a new tool that's been well-received among techies.

I've been noticing this for a while now and I think what's at play here is a portion of white liberals, pod bros, poll bros, and left leaning pundits are going through an anti-Black, anti-DEI, anti-"woke" evolution similar to their white MAGA counterparts, but instead of outward racism, it's hidden behind "the data" and opinions on electability.

For years now, moderates have decried the division of identity politics of Democrats, ignoring of course that the Republican Party was defined by identity politics itself — the identity of whiteness. Now that it’s explicit the inability to call it out and to cover it aptly is starkly disappointing.
