To people who don’t believe that Kermit the Frog is real: What is the basis for your morality? Where does your moral standard come from?

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Someone at work whom I don't like asked me how I was doing at the elevator today. I replied, "my enemies persist, but so do I."

The thing I love about British spy shows compared to ours, is that in every US spy show, you've got Jim from the office with a tale of how based the CIA is, and how muslims are going to blow you up, and every UK spy show is like 'yeh mi5/mi6 are all cold corrupt monsters'.

So Chris Brown can beat women for twenty years, keep touring nonstop AND get an award from elected officials, but Macklemore says "Free Palestine” and stadium owners immediately ban him from their venues?

Got it.

I honestly couldn't care less. Like who do you respect more: the politician that is appropriately somber during Tomb of the Unknown Soldier but votes to take support for veterans, or the one that actually had actions that speak louder than a half second video clip?

As both an academic and a writer, I am repelled by the "this looks like a long document. Would you like me to summarize it for you?" that seems to appear at the top of every pdf viewer now. NO. The *entire point* of good writing (either books or journal papers) is that every sentence has a purpose.

For Star Trek Day today, I went with the "not so subtle work-cosplay." You can do whatever you want when you put on a blank suit.

Me, dressed in a Strange New Worlds era Starfleet Command uniform, but with a black suit jacket on top and the Starfleet badge affixed to the suit lapel.

Part 1/2 of a 5-panel comic update. A young woman is quickly offered a job at a work interview, with the person hiring her declaring "a philosophy major! Great. You’re hired." She asks "for my critical thinking and logic?" The man hiring her explains : "yeah! the job is to be the legally designated human in a completely automated data center where we don’t pay for lighting. Logic your way into deciding that’s fine. the STEM majors go mad in the night and the arts majors start breaking things and tweeting about it, but YOU. you will find a way through."

Part 2/2 of a 5-panel comic update. The woman looks to distance and quotes : "...all fortune is good fortune; for it either rewards, disciplines, amends, or punishes, and so is either useful or just.” [Boethius, The Consolation of Philosophy] The man hiring her adds "health insurance is not included."

And that's a huge change! It's going to change a lot of things. But the most visible and impactful change to most people is that we'll all suffer way way more fraud Still zero reason to believe it'll cure cancer or figure out interstellar travel.

Prepping to build a pizza oven. When I smoked the brisket, I noticed an unpleasant smell of cooking dirt/bugs/spiderweb. It didn't get in the brisket but I think it could get into a pizza. Got about 110 bricks of various sizes, plus some cinder blocks that are very convenient for building chimneys.

There's a whole lot of bs writing-coach advice out there that's framed for people with limited talent because it makes it easier to produce acceptable results. But a lot of it has become so prevalent that people think anything that doesn't conform is bad writing
