My dream is to have one of those college football coach jobs where a college administrator tells me that I’m fired but also they will pay me 50 million dollars as long as I promise not to come to work

Very good piece (Chen's reporting, which focuses on the actual *impact* of policy on the ground, is excellent across the board)

We have an issue, which is anything we do, since we do a lot of contracts with governments here and around the world, we have to be very careful how anything is perceived, and also how the next DOJ is going to deal with it.

I suggest something like “algo-sphere” as a term to cover this mob of right wing idiot talking heads, garbage columnists, griftfluencers, that you ONLY encounter on your phone because tech companies demand you see them.
There must be a word to use, I don’t know that “parasocial” exactly covers it, wrt how all these gross and repellent figures have entered into our psyches over the past decade or so. They make decisions that threaten to greatly affect us, we have to read or hear about them constantly. It’s not good.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Witkoff Advised Russia on How to Pitch Ukraine Plan to Trump
US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, fresh from the triumph of the Gaza peace deal, held a phone call last month with a senior Kremlin official to suggest they work together on a similar plan for Ukraine — and that Vladimir Putin should raise it with Donald Trump.

Man the minimalist Apple branding in tech will not die. Such a horrible message. Your friend, stripped of all uniqueness and flair, ready to give you the absolute minimum.
Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.
