The poignancy of the artist's dilemma.
When Barey decided in 2020 to pursue porn full-time, she did not imagine that at 28 she would spend more time hunched over a desk - not in the fun way - making flow charts, scheduling Zoom calls, and sending pitch decks. "I'm at my happiest when I'm making a video like putting a strawberry in my butt and pushing it out," she says. "Now I'm on calls all day and I have tech neck."

In these uncertain times, it's more important than ever to financially support media companies for work they consistently do well, which is why I donate to ProPublica, subscribe to 404 Media, and pay for the New York Times crossword.

For anyone not keeping count that's one candidate arrested for doing the right thing and four candidates showing up to support him. By sheer coincidence RCV in NY allows you to rank five people. Well there they all are!

During his stint in Congress, Grimm was perhaps best known for threatening to throw an NY1 reporter off a balcony in the Capitol after the reporter asked him to address an investigation into his campaign finances. "Let me be clear to you. If you ever do that to me again, I'll throw you off this fucking balcony," he told the reporter, Michael Scotto, during the exchange, which was captured on video. When the reporter pushed back, telling the then representative that it was a valid question, Grimm responded: "No. No. You're not man enough. You're not man enough. I'll break you in half. Like a boy." Last year, Grimm was paralyzed from the chest down after being thrown from a horse during a polo tournament.

This Swift 6 code crashes in _dispatch_assert_queue_fail(), even if the installTap() closure is empty. If I remove the MainActor annotation on the class, it works. Anybody else seen and/or worked around this?

#swift #concurrency #avfoundation
import AVFoundation import Speech import SwiftUI @MainActor @Observable class SpeechRecognizer: NSObject { private let audioEngine = AVAudioEngine() func startRecording() { let format = audioEngine.inputNode.inputFormat(forBus: 0) guard format.channelCount > 0 else { return } audioEngine.inputNode.installTap(onBus: 0, bufferSize: 1024, format: format) { _, _ in print("crashes in _dispatch_assert_queue_fail() before this is printed") } audioEngine.prepare() do { try audioEngine.start() } catch { print("start threw \(error)") } } }

Apropos of, well, everything.
I couldn't forgive him or like him, but I saw that what he had done was, to him, entirely justified. It was all very careless and confused. They were careless people, Tom and Daisy-they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made...
