There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...

But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

The only problem with Snyder/Capullo Batman is that “Superheavy” isn’t 60 issues long and all the other arcs aren’t zero issues long.

Have they actually shown the texts yet? The funniest part of the video is where they flash a big cardboard sign of the texts for half a second and put it away as soon as the camera lands on it, and then when Smith is like “sorry, can I see that big sign?” the guy gets nervous and won’t show it again

I find video games such a daunting hobby. I spend about as much raw time gaming as I do watching movies, but it feels trivial to both “keep up” on big-deal movies and fill out my backlog, whereas in the time it takes me to finish any game about eighteen games have fallen in and out of the discourse

There’s something very refreshing about Primetime’s cracks about Lost, because it makes fun of Lost as a kinda-silly network TV juggernaut beloved by normies (accurate) instead of pushing the narrative that it was some sort of unprecedented con job, like the narrative equivalent of Theranos (false)

Four days ago, a scientist was surprised by the news that the wallet inspector was claiming his Quiznos punch card as its own. He says he was one punch away from a free sub — and gave his wallet to the inspector assuming it would be returned after a cursory inspection. Coincidence?

There aren’t radios anymore. No one hears any songs. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard a song from the last three or four Taylor Swift albums. There are like six ultra-famous pop stars I see on TV ads and online all the time that I know between 0 to 1 songs by them. Where would I hear these songs?
