So weird to have a case where having a “novel legal theory” is not good enough to carry on with rulebreaking indefinitely. www.nytimes.com/athletic/751...

Came across this photo from a visit to Versailles. That’s Louis XIV in the middle. 300 years later, and our power-hungry narcissists are doing the same thing.

Seems like this should be the line that we're circulating. He was stupid, but I guess thanks for being clear-eyed about your stupidity?

Oh and if anyone is curious is how doing something like feels: it’s awful. I want to throw up; I want to cry for all the things I wanted to do and never will, for all the people whose trust this betrays; I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.

Can’t really recommend it! Stay in school, kids.

The Good Place was probably on to something… Chidi: About this party… Is Aristotle gonna be there? Janet: Sorry, Chidi, Aristotle’s in the Bad Place. He defended slavery. C: Socrates? J: No, too annoying. Very loud chewer. C: Plato? J: Slavery again. Oh, you know who is here? Hypatia of Alexandria.

I sure hope they don’t have any biographies of George Washington in that library. Wouldn’t want to confuse those poor children about how men should dress and style their hair.

CA #Prop50 generally running about +5 compared to Harris 2024 vote... and then there's greater Los Angeles, where over 4 million voters shifted +15. Makes you wonder if there are any local issues that might make LA voters unhappy with the Republican congress? www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Not the most important thing, but the claim here is about $19,000!?! That won't even get you a ticket to the opening of the Trump Presidential Library!

Post a movie you like with a terrible rotten tomatoes score (Insurrection is the most TNG of the TNG movies, and that makes it the best.)

Correction: per NYT, I think that 1.8T number is mislabeled here. Doesn’t seem like the senior bonus piece is nearly that large. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Turns out all the negative impacts of the budget bill (well, except the new debt) could be skipped if they just dropped this weird "senior bonus" deduction that absolutely nobody knows or cares about. wapo.st/3I4p7QU

This is more complicated than it seems, because the actual straight line bends the other way on a map. I think the OP was making the point that a straight line isn’t the best path, for other reasons (like wind patterns).

I dream of music software that takes a data model like this seriously: Multiple artists create songs/recordings/albums. Recordings are different than songs. Albums are just special playlists. Songwriters exist. A different edition of a recording is an alternative view of the same recording. Etc.
