First I’ve heard of this and it’s dead accurate. The micro-group of 1960-1965 are different—I’m a few years younger and the oldest of three siblings, solidly GenX, but ie my ex-girlfriend was 1964 and the youngest of four siblings. We shared few cultural touchstones. She was an ex-punk.

I work in tech. This H1-B thing is a disaster.

Elon Musk is responsible for at least 300,000 deaths, a number that's steadily increasing, it doesn't include Ukrainian civilians murdered as a result of his attempt to protect the Russian navy when he disabled Starlink to sabotage a Ukrainian defence operation.

Always read M. Gessen in general, but this article on banal evil and trauma and "atrocity-producing situations" is of particular interest to anyone who wants to write about Very Bad People. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/o...

Yeah, this framing that the entire country is backtracking is bullshit. Canadians haven't gotten complacent, the government we explicitly elected to deal with the massive problem to the south has spent their entire time in office breaking their election promises and pretending there's no problem.

And yet a trace of the true self resides in the false self

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Our Moloch www.nybooks.com/online/2012/...

we’d love to turn off the machine that convinces children to kill themselves, but we can’t really justify losing our ability to lay off customer service agents, now can we?

One day—not so long from now—you will hear a symphony of car horns honking, and people cheering in the street, and music loudly playing in all directions. And after a brief moment of being perplexed, you will know exactly what has happened.

Walz says Harris "would have been a fantastic president... we wouldn't wake up every day to a bunch of shit on TV. We would wake up to an adult w/ compassion & dignity doing the work, not a manchild crying about whatever is wrong with him. May his fat ankles find something today. Petty as hell."
