Man, it's actually really striking how much this is true. Not just about the Nixon thing, there's a handful of right-wing causes celebre that right-wing legal thought is dedicated to justifying, but like..... that is so very much what it is

On a practical level, I also thought it was a very poor idea for reporters to be active on a site owned by a hostile state-adjacent actor.

Facebook back in 2021 temporarily turned off the “drive people insane” setting and it completely changed what people were seeing. They turned it back on when engagement dipped by like 1 percent.

My wife's great grandfather could not understand, when his kids were retrofitting the house with indoor toilets, why anyone would want to shit in the house.

This was more of a 60 second swim. Would have quickly gotten to numb hands otherwise. I was into bathtub temperature July pond water as a kid because you could swim for 2 hours, but these days 60 seconds is more what I can swing anyways.

She didn't always walk the walk, but in the 2000s environmental protection was *central* to Susan Collins brand. (She had her own carbon cap bill!) Over time that became untenable within the GOP and by 2020 she was doing fundraisers at the Petroleum Club of Houston. That's who she is. #MEpolitics

I was hot and the tide was full, so I took a swim at lunch. A quick one because even in our tiny little inlet, the water is getting to be legit cold.

Goddammit if bucking out window openings for 4" of exterior wood fiberboard insulation and a rainscreen isn't time consuming, but the finish line is in sight for the first buck and I'm quite pleased.

I met my wife online, no complaints. But I invested a lot of time in crafting an expressive profile and way less time messaging people than I think the average guy does. The thing I like about a dating site is that it's a good filter for people who are actually in the market.

Low-hanging fruit for reporters and Dem trackers: ask a Republican running for office, "what would you do if you were in a car with your child and men in hoodies charged at you with guns drawn?" Follow up with "do you think it's reasonable for a parent in that situation to use lethal force?"

Have you ever seen that bit in a cartoon where the character is stuck on the front of a train with no tracks, so they're constantly dropping new rails in front of the train? That's an LLM. It's pulling parts out of a bag based on probability and building a response as it goes.

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task. I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side. I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

My two rules for bringing bulk demolition waste to the dump are don't go in the rain if you can help it, and always find something cool and heavy to throw in the back of the truck on the way out. It's crazy what some people will throw away.
