Friends, I need a new fidgety, absorbing-yet-simple phone game, the sort of thing I can tap on while listening to podcasts. Bonus points if it’s something I can just buy upfront, rather than subscribe/deal with ads. In the past the biggest hits have been Mini Metro and High Rise. Suggestions?

They're also almost always about women and queer people in left-leaning spaces, which says whom we reflexively think of as toxic or annoying. I guarantee some fantasy football league is falling apart over some petty asshole, but he doesn't become a symbol for the annoying left. He can just be Jeff.

When I was 23, I worked retail for a big chain that shall remain nameless. I was not great at this job. Made plenty of mistakes. Literally the only one that I was ever reprimanded for was Saying “I’m sorry” to the customers. Even if it was just in passing. Even if we *had* screwed them over.

One of the problem with “Best Of” retrospectives is that they need to choose if they’re aiming at “best stands up as art today” or at “historically illuminating on how we got to where we are today.” Most don’t make this distinction, and so we end up with this uncomfortable synthesis of the two.

A.I. versions of cute animal videos are NOT the worst thing one can make with A.I. But they feel so immensely, deeply infuriating, because the entire appeal of cute animal videos is something cute, wholesome, and heartwarming *actually happening.* Their reality IS THE POINT.

You’re right—that plane shouldn’t have gone there. That’s my fault, and I should have made sure there wasn’t a terminal in the landing path. Would you like me to call emergency services, or assist with lining up takeoffs?

Given the outrageous, dangerous, and outright false statements made about how the polio (and other) vaccine was a "fraud" (at the Children's Health Defense conference), here's a reminder of what a massive success it was. RFK Jr. & his minions must be stopped from destroying the US healthcare system.

Graph of the number of cases and deaths from polio from 1910 to 2022, showing how polio completely disappeared after the introduction of the vaccine -- one of the most important health advances of the 20th century. Data from the US Public Health Services; the Center for Disease Control.

Was rereading the script for The Harbingers Episode 18 today, and I got a chuckle out of this little moment I'd forgotten I'd put into the stage directions. Anyway, next week... THE HARBINGERS. Episode 18: "Good Grief" The Return of Adam Blackwell. Out September 24th!
