This is outstanding advice, as always from thetimothysnyder: “It's really just a matter of doing something, which is a bit more than nothing. If we do, I tend to think we'll get through this.” All of us, make a difference. Never doubt that what you do is important! #momsky #sheshed

It’s 1970 and ELTON JOHN takes out a crumpled piece of paper and plays “Tiny Dancer” for the first time in front of his lyricist BERNIE TAUPIN and Taupin’s wife Maxine (for whom Taupin wrote the song).

How many reservations are other people making? Unless it’s a big group, most of the time we just show up and get seated. I can probably manage to make the call myself for the 2-3 events a year I’m responsible for that need a restaurant reservation. AI is a solution in search of a problem.

Many years ago, when millennials treated the Harry Potter books with a weirdly religious reverence, people used to say, “Read another book.” The freakout about Greta Gerwig’s casting of Meryl Streep as the voice of the still-a-male-lion Aslan in the upcoming Narnia adaptation... 🧵

Love when the principled originalist rules based on the "apparent outcome" of an election, which is entirely an artifact of modern polling and media. One might be tempted to conclude he's a right-wing nutjob who decides cases based solely on partisan gain and bad vibes from being too online.

Yes, the price of gasoline is rising on a daily basis. But the prices of $TRUMP and $MELANIA cryptocurrencies are down 97% from their peaks. Inflation is a matter of perspective.

So it sounds like OpenAI is planning another round of funding, with their valuation set at $1.2 trillion. I’m going to be awestruck if there are people willing to give them money at that valuation. ”We can’t IPO because our books are hot garbage, but give us money” is a pretty amazing sales pitch.

The wizard in the group chose a Noble background, so I’ve decided his family owns a distillery that makes whiskey out of the Warlock’s potatoes. The Strongspirit family has been making the best potato whiskey for generations.

One of the coolest things about people who don't have a lot of power taking a principled stand is it lays bare the complete cowardice of the ones who actually *do* have power when they fail to do even a fraction as much.

We have friends and clients on the investor side and I say the same to them, venture capital is fine as a niche model, but it absolutely should not be dominating discourse or seen as the default perspective on starting or operating businesses.

Hey guys, if you're gonna share that one meme I made like a million years ago on Tumblr, share the original, not the horrible auto-smoothed traced version. Don't smooth out my angry, "it's 11 at night and I have FEELINGS ABOUT ART" hand wobbles, they're part of the piece!

This is a powerful story from a trans Texan (who's also quite a talented independent journalist). I've been arguing that trans people have the right to be upset with Talarico, and I think we do. This is the case for vote for him anyway, eloquently made, and by someone with the standing to make it.

the thing about guys like this is that you cannot and should not try to recruit them. It's great that they exist, rolling around like a loose cannon on a ship and causing havoc among your enemies, but *causing havoc among your enemies* is exactly where you want them to stay.

I do plenty of gambling. Choosing Polymarket over DraftKings is like being in a Vegas sportsbook and calling some illegal bookie the cab driver recommended to you instead. At DraftKings, you’ll get an honest bet minus the vig. On Polymarket, if you aren’t doing the scamming, you’re getting scammed

“You're thinking of beef all wrong. As if I had the cuts back in a walk-in freezer. The meat's not from here. Well, your beef's from Argentina... right next to Brazil. And from wild horses, and disappeared ICE detainees and a hundred other places."
It's a wonderful life bank scene
