If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."

I don’t want to live a life where I say “I wish I’d played more video games” when I die. That’s why I have a Google Sheet tracking my unplayed JRPGs and a calendar blocked out for when I retire in 2045

Nobody ever says "I wish I'd played more video games" when they die. Video games haven't been around long enough. I may be the first to say it.

You can say #2 but you gotta say what you're doing with it. No more vague allusions about how useful it is, go ahead and say how exactly

There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.

Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

Leavitt: "The president tapped into tariff revenue to keep WIC money going out the door. He found a creative solution to keep the troops paid. And rather than congratulate him for doing that, this unprecedented action to get our troops paid, Dems want to sue him for it. They're saying it's illegal."

same, I love little earthquakes but it’s very much a “raw and powerful” debut album as opposed to this much more polished sophomore effort. her songwriting has grown by so much!

Learned that an anonymous outside expert on submersibles did an interview with the OceanGate Titan investigation, and they released a transcript, with all the names redacted. The first line of his first answer? "I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic."

A.
Well, I'm sure you're familiar with my film Titanic.
When I

was arrange to be introduced to the head of the submersible

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck.

Women only want one thing, and it's a vintage Unimog!

An old Unimog, it's a small cream coloured truck that's shaped like a truck instead of a racecar bed

Oh no! I can respect their pronouns but I can’t respect this.

That said, if that’s who it is, this does seem like the inevitable endpoint of a lifetime of thematic obsessions
