May I present to you, the Columbus, OH, sky penis.

A tower in Columbus, Ohio, that looks like a penis.

It’s interesting because it hints at the automatic brain vs the deliberate brain. The former is where loss aversion lives, drilled in there by thousands of years of evolution. The latter hopes to convince the former that it’s wrong sometimes, with varying degrees of success.

“Instead of asking, “Do I want to keep this?” ask, “Would I buy this today?” Modifying the decision-making framework allows a neural calculation in reward and self-relevance systems to shift, too. A teakettle becomes something you can choose — or not — rather than something you stand to lose.”

Opinion | Neuroscience Can Make Decluttering Easier

Decluttering is a challenge for many Americans, but neuroscience indicates we can make the process easier on ourselves and our loved ones.

These people don’t vote on policy. They vote on vibes. Engaging with them about what motivates them is them telling us what excuses they use to explain underlying behavior where the decision is made first and justification constructed second.

Some sign of repentance. I get the urge too, but the chances of it happening over the course of a life get less and less as time goes on.

I call it the agent priority prior, and it causes so many individual and group problems. It explains everything from looking at the front of a car and seeing the headlights and grill as a face all the way to how fascism works.

It’s wrong to claim it’s just America though. This is the whole human race’s roots and it’s always had a rotten core to it.

From what I gather it's mostly related to the minerality of your water (more minerals, more sediment, less efficient heating).

Fascism relies on violence to push itself deeper into the fascist psyche. That’s why it’s associated with ritualized violence, pogroms, etc.

So I learned that private equity is rolling up a bunch of independent marinas, boat yards, and marine contractors and raising prices for everyone in the process. They call it a “lifestyle” ecosystem, but it’s really just too much money splashing around on Wall Street wrecking everything good.

It strikes me that Hegseth’s “public execution” might be the thing which really ends this administration. Up until now, the violence has been present, but limited. This is broadcasting the depravity of this administration to the entire country.

I call these mentor issues; not so much passing it up, but just acknowledging that I still don’t know everything yet and checking in with someone else is a great option.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

X post from AI industry insider Alvin Sng :

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.
Parenting hits different when you work in Al.

Frankly it took a while after law school before I got back into my book reading groove. That said, it was the sheer crushing weight of reading not that every course book I picked up was in this or that category.

Sean Satori @seansatori.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

But what if you could write a book so good that you would have this effect on someone. Like nothing else in their lives would ever compare to the experience of your narrative. Of course, it could also be the opposite and what you’ve written is so bad they are scared off other books altogether.

Well, no chance of reversing the liability finding, but a decent chance of knocking $5M off the verdict. I’ll take it.

So this is the first time I’ve used ChatGPT to help think through an appeal recommendation and it is proving itself to be a super helpful tool. It’s not finding the issues for me, but it’s able to examine the entire record and answer questions about it. I’ve identified all the issues so far.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Tort law can be partisan once you get to mass torts. Or even just significant personal injuries and medical malpractice. Because how dare a business be forced not to externalize their harm on the public.

I had never heard of this before and when I looked at it I realize that Riemann had discovered that prime numbers make a sound and that each zeta zero is a note in the chord. Which, coincidentally, is where Zeta Zero speakers get their name.

Yeah, my ConLaw Professor was Marshall Breger, and he brought in his really good friend named Antonin Scalia to teach our class constitutional interpretation. A really nice guy, but apolitical he was not. Some of my best memories of law school were arguing vociferously with him.
