I feel like we haven’t fully reckoned with the with the implications of the reality that in the past generation, many have lost the ability to concentrate long enough to read a book.

I specced out a new PC in May 2025, and jotted down all the prices. (Didn't buy it.) At the time, 64GB of memory was £91. Now, the same memory is going for £505. A 2TB SSD was £98. Now, the same SSD would cost me £169. My hypothetical £900 May 2025 build would come to over £1,500 today. Crazy!

People (Americans?) often criticize people who interrupt while someone else is speaking. But interruptions are used within the system of turn-taking, and their use is a social norm that varies across cultures. Hence the criticism may be a subtle form of discrimination.

@ironspike.bsky.social he was tried in NY state court for a non-federal crime. He can’t be pardoned by the president.

Mr. Cuban, I'm a professor at Yale School of Public Health. Here's a paper published by one of my colleagues in the top medical journal evaluating the Medicare for All Act, which would not only get us there, but would save $450B per year. Happy to discuss! www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

A friend from home town friend alerted me that I should go to the @barnesandnoble.com near where I worked in high school. Look what I found!

Television executives like having their Christmas vacations interrupted, their mergers derailed, their flagship news shows humiliated while losing ad revenue as the scandal spirals

one day i’ll write about the journey from this photo to present day.

Seems worth noting at this point that Weiss's internal critics at the Times were correct and her many apologists among elite pundits were wrong

I said this in October. CBS is gonna leak like a sieve bsky.app/profile/reto...

the shitstorm that’s already brewing because of Bari’s decision to spike this story is going to end up being vastly more damaging to her and to the admin than allowing the story to air would have been she’s an evil propagandist hack but she is also very bad at doing it in a way that isn’t hamfisted

Wait until First Amendment champion/"Free Press" founder Bari Weiss hears what CBS News' Bari Weiss is up to.

Bari Weiss is killing stories the right way. by Ezra Klein

Amazon scalpers trying to cash in on the latest news. It won’t work though because no one is crazy enough to pay that much for the book.

Elise Stefanik gambled on the assumption that she possessed greater influence and charisma than Nimarata Nikki Randhawa Haley, but she ultimately suffered a more significant defeat than Mrs. Haley ever did.

Question for the legal nerds: Can you file a Rule 28(j) letter with a federal judge based on a magazine profile? Asking for everyone being vindictively prosecuted.

been thinking about this yesterday and I don't think it's entirely true I've routinely seen people shift the trajectory of legislation or entire discourse trajectories with just the written word. not everybody needs to be a video star

Someone find Infantino and put him on the spot about the behavior of his peace prize recipient.

It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries. A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."

Financial literacy for someone that makes a billion dollars a year, is things like, "How to buy a sports team," and "What is a Super PAC." If you're neither a billionaire, nor in poverty, financial literacy means things like "What is a 401k, and what is an FSA?" And "What is a 1031 exchange?"

someone in the replies looking up this property and realizing the price is so low because it was a meth lab is such an amazing commentary on right-wing delusion simply perfect. chefs kiss. 10/10. no notes

This is awesome. Matt Moscardi and @freefloat.bsky.social ran the numbers and found that companies dismantling their DEI programs in response to the Trump Admin have boards with more political connections - and also lower measures of shareholder value, like TSR. www.freefloat.llc/boardroom-th...

2018, Russia: "Fuck this, I'm not watching a World Cup in a fascist country. I'll just wait four years." 2022, Qatar: "Fuck this, I'm not watching a World Cup in a fascist country. I guess I'll wait another four years..." 2026: So I guess the joke is on me.

Remember when the internet wasn't awful? We can go back to that. Some friends and I have released the Resonant Computing Manifesto: a call to bring back such a time, to see if we can bring back a world where technology works for us, rather than against us. resonantcomputing.org
