I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

I’ve retroactively soured on Data b/c of his annoyingly outsized role in post-peak TNG. Today’s LLMs only further affirm Worf and O’Brien supremacy

NYT: Shop These Delectable Designer Provisions For Your Olivia Nuzzi Book Launch Party
I’m sorry, this is supposed to be a luxury good? It looks like a gas station imitation of Culver’s. And the signage printed and assembled at Kinko’s.

Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

When it’s one group facing calls for violent extinction, speaking up with “all lives matter” is as pathetically banal as it is spineless. Understanding that was the bare minimum in 2020

closest one i can think of offhand is LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (2008) but obviously a 12-year-old isn’t a “man”

Emmanuel, a 15-year-old with intellectual disabilities, wandered away from his mom’s fruit stand in October.
She reported him missing to Houston police. But instead of reuniting them, the city turned him over to ICE.
“They’re failing all of us,” his mom said.

This is not the worst book we've ever read but it is the meanest episode we've ever done.
Episode 46: Sapiens
It's an ambitious goal to write the entire history of humanity in just 400 pages. It's even more ambitious to do it without reading any research.
