The Mar a Lago Wall begins to rise

From! The! Rooftops!

This work is really important. I see the language in the 2nd ad all the time — “you’re not alone.”

But the subtext is: “You’re absolutely alone."

Whatever this “Crimson” organization is offering, it DEPENDS on you feeling alone.

That’s what makes it predatory.

@billbarnwell.com's thing about these guys hitting finishing moves off the couch on each other is bar none the best characterization of this energy, may it live immortally.

That’s the right framing. ChatGPT shows up to work drunk every morning.

IMHO, LLMs will be an economic negative for years.

They'll do a worse job than humans,

but will still replace humans because they're cheaper for employers,

Lose-lose-lose.

I’m sure you’ve got somebody for it if it needs it, but JUST IN CASE you don’t, I want to index this book. I promise to listen to Midnite Vultures on repeat while I do, just like I did that one whole week in the summer of 2000.

The headline of the graphic makes it sound as though America is trying to attract new scientists, and whoopsie, we got some policy detail wrong.

A more accurate headline would read “Young scientists take note when the US govt says In this house we believe fuck science and fuck you."

The size of the statue Pat Murphy would get in Milwaukee if he won a World Series would make Kim Jung Il fussy.

A policy expert described Education Secretary Linda McMahon’s push in favor of private schools as a “great American heist,” funneling money from public schools: “It’s a strategic theft of the future of our country, our kids and our democracy.”

The scene early in Forrest Gump where the mom goes to bed with the Principal to secure a free and appropriate public education for her child did not make any sense to me when I saw that movie as a kid, but it makes a lot of sense now as the GOP vision for future access to special education services

really striking the degree to which not a single person working in the trump administration appears to be interested in serving the american people

Great gd book

A great weekend to share Jeff Bridges making a perfect joke
