Mortgage rates just hit 7%. I can't even imagine being in the position of trying to buy a first home today. Housing is such a factor in cost of living, and the only way to lock down housing costs is to buy. But the math is just really tough at these rates. Good luck everyone, I guess.

I don't need an auto-generated summary of advice, I don't need a synthesis of a book I should read myself, I don't need another coffee I can make at home. I want time and space to follow my own advice, read a book myself, and make my own coffee. I don't want to de-experience my life

The Ed Sheeran pile-on is exactly what happens to politicians who build their whole careers on avoiding positions that can be held against them later One day the middle ground falls out from under them, they have no strength of character, and they're blindsided by their inability to meet the moment

New Yorker for life ❤️🏙️ We all have our own stories about that day, and its after-effects, but my love goes out especially to families and friends of victims, and those traumatized in the blast radius of WTC.

Are you fucking kidding me @nytimes.com ?
Clip of a NYTimes article containing the text : “To win re-election in November, Ms. Collins, a moderate who has been critical of the president and opposed some elements of his agenda, is deploying the same strategy that has kept her in the Senate for decades. She is keeping her distance from Mr. Trump and her party’s national brand and message, and instead highlighting local issues and how she has used her position in Washington, including as the chairwoman of the powerful Appropriations Committee, to deliver for her tiny state.”

Worker-owned means of creative production since 1976 (but the best Labor-Day themed one is probably the 2011 Jason Siegel movie where an evil oil baron takes control of the studio and they band together and also kidnap Jack Black to try to get it back)

Cool, cool
Fusion centers are black-box-style intelligence centers that share data between federal, state, local, and tribal agencies, as well as the private sector; they make up a national network of intelligence sharing hubs, overseen by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and are funded by federal, state, and local dollars.

This might be the DP’s sharpest take since my brief stint as a columnist there in the early 90’s. Jokes aside, the kids are alright. Also, nobody was particularly worried about my readiness for a rapidly transforming economy when I graduated with an English major and French minor. Sheesh.

Google also introduced “Rambler,” a new voice-input feature designed to better understand the way people actually talk. Rather than requiring carefully phrased sentences, Rambler is designed to handle run-on sentences, filler words, and less structured speech while still figuring out what the user is trying to say.

Normally I just appreciatively read @jamellebouie.net 's columns-sharable video content just isn't my bag. But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.

How incredibly sad. I once got to see him and Marketa Irglová perform a secret show, by following my nose to a small back room in boutique hotel during a music festival that happened to be there while I was on a business trip. They were spectacular, and he was a force of nature.

In the past 2 weeks, I’ve watched the Mexico-Korea game in an LA bar crowded with supporters of both teams, a USA game in an English pub, a South Africa-Canada game with my Canadian neighbors, the incredible Cinderella story of Cape Verde holding champion teams to account, and so much more.

Words I was not expecting to read this morning
THE FIBRE FAD KEEPS ON MOVING, newyorker
I never expected to read the words “poop smoothie” in The New Yorker, but here we are. “Fibre,” which is apparently standard spelling in the New Yorker style guide, is indeed the new protein, and creators are gaining internet fame teaching their roughage-deprived followers how to fibremaxx. Recipe developer Ariel Pastore-Sebring, 31, has earned 70,000 social media followers and DMs about strangers’ bowel movements with “Blow Outz,” a recipe series she introduced by speaking into a roll of toilet paper that includes a Poop Smoothie (nicknamed the “Poothie,” which is somehow even worse) of spinach, chia, oats, and peanut butter. Self-described “fibre daddy” Alan Lin, 36, sells Liquid Salad in baby-food pouches. “I take a huge dump every morning, and then I crush the MacBook for thirteen hours every day,” he says. Aspirational content takes on many forms.
