I saw what physical labor did to my father and siblings. There's dignity there, but the income comes in while your body holds out, and not one second longer. There's a reason people will go for "indoor jobs" even if they don't meet the late David Graeber's approval.

Sorry I know we're done with iced coffee discourse but I've now used the phrase "iced coffee interviewing" twice to describe people making hiring decisions based on irrelevant trivialities instead of assessing the candidate's actual skills and I feel like this one has legs

It seems quaint now that we do all our banking and race science there, but, nevertheless, it's true: at one time, people mostly wrote jokes on Twitter. 10 years ago, I wrote one about an old asshole and it kinda changed my life. Not his, though. www.cnn.com/2026/10/01/u...

The tweet that defined a decade of Trump | CNN

It’s been 10 years since Jesse Farrar accidentally defined a political era with one pithy, prescient tweet. He wishes it never happened.

There are only two kinds of parents: the Warehousers and the Warehouses. No crossing the streams I guess

I agree that SungWon should shove me into a locker, but the next passerby is in fact going to hear a muffled, echoey "I love Majo no Takkyuubin"

Don't dither, indeed. This book has lived rent-free in my head for thirty years and I was thrilled to see it republished.

Maybe? But it's Oops! All Bubbles! these days. We haven't had a shared mass culture for some time now. Broadcast TV is dead, cable had its lunch eaten by streaming, and I can't recall the last time I turned on the radio in my car.

The dental profession is grossly overdue for massive crackdowns on fraudulent overdiagnosis. States, payers, someone should stand up a huge secret shopper program.

I don't think I've ever seen such an enraged judge (in writing), though I have heard stories about statements made in court, and my experience of reading orders is super limited.

The criticism that NHJ "sacrificed her daughter for her ideals" is nonsense. There is no such thing as a parenting decision where you are not rolling the dice based on the morals, values and ideals you *believe* are right at the time.

Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment. Here’s what experts say you need to know.

This Little-Known Appeal Could Force Your Insurer to Pay for Lifesaving Care. Here’s How to File It.

When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider. Here are six steps experts sugges...

This is an incredibly infuriating read, not least since I think I see some very specific narrative choices tailored to an expected audience's prejudices. Layers and layers of anger here. One good answer would be Precision Teaching or something similar, but that would be unbelievably expensive...

Phil would know better than I, but as a total outsider to his world, I think you can't really spell safety without determinism. I.e., safety mechanisms should involve lawful functional relations. LLMs cannot provide those.

Huh. It's kind of rare for Kathryn to be this conclusory, so this post really has my attention.
