This is the dumbass who wants to have restaurants prioritize certain events over others for giving reservations. Absolute clown shit.
Instinct CEO Noah Shinn says agents will let restaurants give tables to birthdays and anniversaries over whoever clicks first
"And traditionally, because of the way that the internet has worked, at least for reservations, it's been first come first serve. So anyone that comes in, no matter how important or how not important it might be, whoever gets in first gets the reservation."
"But what if you had the ability for the agent to be able to communicate on both sides, communicate, hey, this is important. This is actually the person's spouse's birthday, the 30th birthday, a very special event is coming up."
"And the restaurant too can say, let's actually prioritize birthdays or major decade birthdays or major anniversaries or these certain people, I don't know, whatever it might be, right?""So now with the ability, with all of the logistical burden of having to describe exactly what your case is and what's happening and why it's important. Now we have the ability to perfectly match what does the restaurant want? What does the user want?"
"And that will result in more special events for the users being able to actually have a spot in the restaurant."

Senator Eric Schmidt Just CAUGHT Jack Smith perjuring himself on the stand in his testimony.
Jack Smith denied having any contact with Fani Willis and denied going to a NBA game in Atlanta.
Then Eric Schmidt pulled out the receipts
"What would you say if I had a series of text messages from your team that said you were in Atlanta at a Warriors Hawks game the day after Willis and Wade announced their affair"
"I don't think you know that we have this stuff, I'll give you a second to process it"
Jack Smith is stunned.

Right-wingers have been trying to define homosexuality as a social contagion for nearly a century. The debate over trans identity strongly echoes the same tactics the right used against homosexuals. scholarlycommons.law.hofstra.edu/cgi/viewcont...
This sometimes bitter debate regarding the nature of same-sex desire might seem like an exceedingly contemporary development." However, the ex-gay media blitz represents only the latest skirmish in a long-standing battle for ontological hegemony. Over seventy years ago, an opening salvo was launched in the 1928 obscenity trials of Radclyffe Hall's novel, entitled The Well of Loneliness ("The Well").' The novel detailed the life and loves of Stephen Gordon, a female invert, for whom same-sex desire was depicted as an innate, God-given, and potentially noble characteristic.® Building on the congenital inversion theories of the early sexologists, Richard von Krafft-Ebing and Havelock Ellis, Hall constructed the first popular articulation of a positive lesbian identity and argued, without apology, for the invert's "right to love." Thus, in The Well, female inverts are not only subjects-they are juridical subjects. Hall uses a clearly articulated rights discourse throughout the book as her characters assert their "right to love" and long for the right to "protect" —i.e., marry their partners.'

Upon publication, The Well encountered a hostile counter-narrative of homosexuality as contagion, resulting in sensational obscenity trials on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean." Courts in New York and London adjudged The Well obscene under the prevailing "Hicklin rule," finding that it had the tendency "to deprave and corrupt those whose minds are open to such immoral influences, and into whose hands a publication of this sort might fall."2 Although the New York decision was overturned on appeal, The Well remained banned in Great Britain until 1949." The media coverage generated by the trials and the attendant moral panic assured The Well a position as the most influential lesbian novel of the

Why We're Building Muse
Alexandr Wang

Most people never say what they want. It's not because we don't want. We want fiercely and constantly. It happens in the moments before falling asleep or while daydreaming on the car ride home. We want to spend more time with our families, overcome social anxiety, eat healthier food, open a bakery, build an app, or just find a few more moments of calm in a hectic life. But rarely do we get to even express these dreams, and even more rarely do they ever come true.
When we can't name our dreams, we mostly can't reach them. The world is a maze of forms and gatekeepers and schedules and obstacles, and most dreams die by a thousand paper cuts long before they are said aloud. They die in the not-knowing-where-to-start and in the phone calls never made.Every unrealized want is a quiet tragedy of human potential.
Now imagine every person on earth with a second mind beyond their own. A general manager whose whole job is to find out what you want and make sure it happens. Someone that hears the half-sentence, "I feel like there's something more I could be doing," and helps fill in the blanks. This might not be a genie in a bottle, but it can be someone that says, "This is the thing you've been dreaming of your whole life. Let's go get it. Here's how." And then builds a plan. Sends the email.
Makes the phone call. Finds the funding.
Keeps you on schedule. Clears the way and solves all the problems it can until the human part, the wanting and the dreaming, is all that's left.
Here's the best part: we have no idea what people will want. The world until now has been shaped by the small number of fanatics who have somehow found a way to make theirwho have somehow found a way to make their wants real. But we've never seen humanity with every single person's agency fully switched on. Eight billion people who just need to write their dream down in order to get started making it happen.
So we built Muse to help people build the world they want.
Here's to wanting. Here's to dreaming. Here's to everyone.
