What a fucking moron

My startup has created an easy-to-use AI-powered tool that can oversee and put useful guardrails on the operations of AI-powered newsroom vending machines. We are looking for investors and willing to sell 20 percent at a $100 million post-money valuation.

complaining about affirmative action is tied with complaining about tipping as a relatively common elite liberal behavior that is most likely to land someone on my pay-no-mind list

True story: the flight attendant asked everyone to take out the safety card and review it. The middle-aged guy next to me pulled out the card and studied it for a full ten minutes.

Your periodic reminder that the U.S. remains at war in Somalia...

If it's in Google Scholar, who is to say it's not real?

Being in a simulation is bad enough, but to be constantly remind of it is abusive

And not a single reference to @quinnslobodian.com book ‘crack-up capitalism’? Weird.

Anybody have any good news for a change smdh

While federal agents patrol the Twin Cities, a Mexican grocer in St. Paul is filling a gap for families too frightened to shop.

this is a Curb Your Enthusiasm bit

A nice thread from Guy on JP's comments yesterday on NFP growth being overstated. To which I will add a caveat - the birth/death model is not the principal driver of the wedge between CES and QCEW these last two years. (Warning, statistical esoterica ahead) 🧵1/9

Okay this is going to be long so mute it if you don't want a granular explanation but first: SHAME on @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social for misrepresenting what Chair Powell said in order to pat himself on the back. Shame on you. Let's talk about measuring the 171mm people of the US labor force.

So proud to see my friend and colleague @katiejwells.bsky.social ‘s critical research on the front page of today’s NYTimes!!!! Katie, you are a trailblazing scholar! ❤️

This is a true story

I’ve been hearing Trump talk about “affordability,” and now I notice Zohran Mamdani has started using it too.

1 in 3 chance Trump offered Mamdani Vance’s job in their private discussion

is Epstein the Achilles heel of the gerontocracy?

I do not appreciate all of the Palantir ads in my podcasts

great recent talk on AI by @scottjshapiro.bsky.social youtu.be/xvfLJ9Qlqg0?...

balanced diet for movie night

I’m sure you all agree, Larry Summers is the only person smart enough to look better after a Chotiner interview, he should show us how it’s done

I genuinely feel bad for Chuck Schumer, I know what it's like to suck at your job.

has Justice Kagan been listening to @amprestigepod.bsky.social? nymag.com/intelligence...

We saw this yesterday at Angelika Film Center. Great film. Highly recommend.

the new Indian sandwich shop in West Village is 💯

If you're not reading the New York Times you're missing out

this is how @scottjshapiro.bsky.social responds to most of my arguments

NEW: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland. In 2 months before Trump said he was sending the National Guard, federal officers fire on, grab, pepper-spray or tear gas people 20 times -- without charging anyone. "Gratuitous," one expert said.

Pax Economica is now out in paperback! Now with a shiny new back cover. Big thanks to @princetonupress.bsky.social for making this happen.

If you live in NYC and you are interested in organizing with others around our public libraries, you are invited to join our work @nycplan.org. We have a chance to increase and stabilize funding for our public libraries and you can help make that happen. actionnetwork.org/letters/city...

CBS NEWS: Huge story out of New York is the surprise victory and upset win in Sunday’s marathon.

I don’t care who Chuck voted for; I need to know who Joe and Eileen Bailey voted for!!

Don't know the cause, but...the 2019 shutdown ended when only TEN air traffic controllers refused to work. They can continue to get off their rocks firing federal bureaucrats, and Mike Johnson can go on TV and play disappointed dad all he wants: the GOP aren't bigger than the free flow of capital.

I’ve been up since 3 AM but still going to election watch party tonight

I was in line for ~40 minutes and two people heckled the line during that time (both telling people to vote for Cuomo)

quite a long line at my early voting location

Fwiw my wife works with a nonprofit that serves lower-income families in the Boston area and the amount of gratuitous and destructive cruelty now being dealt to the folks she works with is totally insane.

I was picking up exams this morning at the university printing services and they had a massive fake rat right inside the door. Got me lmao 🐀 👻
