The tech execs can’t fathom something where the process is the point! Like when Elon used growing backyard tomatoes as an example of something inefficient. The task itself is the joy, even if the output were the same. But the output is superior!

Is there a newsletter that tells you everything private equity bought that week? It’d get depressing pretty quick, but at least I’d know where not to shop!

I was sick of seeing JD Vance's memoir get all of the book coverage. So I asked a bunch of writers I know and love what recent books they think should get more attention. These are books for people who actually like to read. Please check them out! lithub.com/40-great-new...

It feels like JD Vance has been everywhere in the last few weeks, and haven’t we suffered enough? As much as I’m enjoying the universal disdain he’s receiving from a diverse array of publications, …

iPhone autocorrect gets worse and worse. It keeps telling me real words are not words and need to be replaced. Recent example - it wanted to autocorrect to “dangerously” because it didn’t recognize “dangerous” as a real word. But this happens all the time with very simple words!! It’s a word!!!

Today’s free newsletter is about how LLMs are the perfect grift to exploit an economy dominated by do-nothing managers and executives disconnected from any real work, and how the facade is crumbling as companies pay the true cost of AI. www.wheresyoured.at/the-revenge-of-the-business-idiot/

I think you’d really enjoy the recent AI column by Anne Helen Petersen where she talks about the appeal of AI for many is trying to experience that frictionless experience rich people have. “Some people use LLMs the way the rich and powerful use servants, secretaries, chefs, travel agents…”

These tools promise productivity, but it’s a devil’s bargain. They don't always allow us to do better or smarter work. Whatever time they save will never become "our own." Because more efficiency doesn't mean less work. It means more of it — for the same pay. www.patreon.com/posts/149942...

Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place. Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.

Criticizing men broadly is unforgivable, because there are SOME men who don’t do the things you’re criticizing, but using rhetoric that demeans ALL women gets a pass because it’s completely normalized and actually rewarded

Sans serif fonts are easier to read for people with some disabilities, so “DEI”. I know people are focused on how stupid this is, but why just be stupid when they can also be cruel!

As bad as I thought this would be, it was even worse when I read the article and saw they’re targeting it because calibri is easier to read for people with certain disabilities.

Not this, but related. I saw a job ad for a company that creates AI “friends” targeted at the elderly including those suffering from dementia. So unethical to create chatbots for people least likely to understand what they’re interacting with.

Political rhetoric is feeding the narrative that aggression towards women is normative & socially acceptable. Anti-DEI & Trump's misogynistic labels of female reporters are recent examples. We must normalize women in leadership & public life. @josiecox.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

And the other side of this is the self proclaimed “good guys” who cut women off from networking because they want to “protect” them from gossip or protect the man’s marriage but will continue to network with men. And then guess who gets promoted?

As someone who’s never lived in the Midwest and barely visited, I learn so much from your writing. Confirmation bias makes people want to stick to the tired stereotypes, but it’s rarely that simple or convenient.

Did you know that we allow child marriage in the US? We do, in 34 states, and four or five children are being married every day on average. I once met a Floridian married at 11 to her rapist. And California has no minimum age at all for marriage: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/o...

We can participate in democracy and be flawed while also having non-negotiable. No nazis. No racists. We aren’t abandoning trans people. Triple the minimum wage. Universal healthcare. Reproductive freedom. Etc etc etc. Stand for something! Appeasement accomplishes very little.
