rachel aviv's essay on alice & andrea munro is incredible and intensely devastating. even if you aren't independently interested in this particular revelation, you should probably read it www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Alice Munro’s Passive Voice
The celebrated writer’s partner sexually abused her daughter Andrea. The abuse transformed Munro’s fiction, but she left it to Andrea to confront the true story.

where does the new york times even find these people
A screenshot of a New York Times update that says: In Grand Central Terminal, Leon Chang, 26, of Brooklyn, said he had not heard of congestion pricing and asked what it was. When explained it was a toll for cars entering Manhattan, he then asked “What do you mean? What is a car?” Walking outside, we showed him a vehicle parked on the street. He gently touched the hood of the car. “You wish to forbid these majestic beasts from entering the city,” he said in a wistful tone. “It is a folly of man. The desire to tame the world around us.”

been reading a lot about jena romanticism recently and man. those kids were living hard. every bio is like “it’s tuesday, i hosted a salon and slept with my friends’ wife and wrote some world-historical literature and died at 28”

Norms have a real power over our lives. But how? In this new blog post, I argue: it’s not because they impact what we believe about certain actions; it’s because they impact which actions even occur to us at all xphi.net/2024/12/12/t...

'Effective Altruism is an expression of the instrumental-reason form itself, and the dead-end it represents for Geist has to be treated dialectically instead of just dismissed'

i think the “AI art turing test” is deeply, deeply misguided as a test of AI creativity (lol, lmao even). but i do want to take this moment to brag that my hit rate for AI slop was 80%
