1. I don’t watch snuff films and neither should you, especially when it’s sanctioned by the government. 2. Remember how grossed out we all were by those photos of cheerful mobs at a lynching? This is the 21st century iteration.

He once stopped a set when a woman got groped at a show I was at. He pointed out the offender and we all waited until the dude was escorted out, all while getting a lecture on how women don’t come to their shows to be sexually assaulted. It was amazing.

First, what?! Second, oh dear God what is this nonsense? Third, behold what Wikipedia suggests as similar topics:

Okay, just this whole thread will make you laugh (and maybe cry, “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest”). The alt-text is very solid and worth reading.

Ha! My moms did this when I went to school in the 90s. We had phones (“call after 9pm!”) and XL twin sheets and it was fine! Your kid will do great!

Honestly “the still consolation” just sounded poetic to me. I think it works. (But if I cite you, I’m happy to cite a corrected version if you prefer - I’m almost certainly going to use this in a sermon!)

“With no closure, all we can do is revisit our grief each year. For me, that is where the still consolation rests.” WOW. Just….what a holy word this is.

Here to remind followers and friends that I don’t voluntarily watch snuff films and neither should most of you unless your work requires it. (And if that’s the case, make sure you have a sufficient mind and soul care support system for before, during, and afterwards such exposure.)

Nolan Wells was a beloved son, student-athlete, & a Black boy who deserved to grow old. Though true justice would mean Nolan would be alive today, we’re pushing for the accountability his family deserves. I grieve for his loved ones & join their demands for an independent investigation.

That’s because one is supposed to use a fork to split their English muffin, and they were mad at being asked to make something in so criminally against nature.

@ijeomaoluo.bsky.social wrote a stellar piece when the film came out that identified the true villain of Black Panther was white supremacy. (I revisit the piece pretty regularly; like all her work, it’s pretty spectacular.)

My toxic trait is I fully believe I could land a plane if I had someone in my ear giving me directions. (Look, I know there’s no universe where I’m the one in that position, and I *know* I couldn’t really. But I fully *believe* I could.)

This is so, so well-articulated.
People call this friction "grunt work." Schwartz uses exactly that phrase, and he's right that LLMs can remove it. What he doesn't say, because he already has decades of hard-won intuition and doesn't need the grunt work anymore, is that for someone who doesn't yet have that intuition, the grunt work is the work. The boring parts and the important parts are tangled together in a way that you can't separate in advance. You don't know which afternoon of debugging was the one that taught you something fundamental about your data until three years later, when you're working on a completely different problem and the insight surfaces. Serendipity doesn't come from efficiency. It comes from spending time in the space where the problem lives, getting your hands dirty, making mistakes that nobody asked you to make and learning things nobody assigned you to learn.

This is 100% his MO and has been from the jump. Use people until they are no longer useful to you and then fire them. I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t gone on to mock them for abandoning whatever principles they may have previously had in order to come work to him. (He just calls them traitors…)

This was a fantastic story! A sweet bonus was learning the other two invitations she accepted - but the heart of the story is absolutely brilliant. “It’s just math.” 😍
