I truly don't love watching everyone in the industry I spent 20 years working in turn into nazis! It didn't have to turn out this way. We all started as gift economy ideologues.

from a standpoint epistemological view you have to take this view particularly seriously

As a professional military strategist, I just wanted to make sure everyone has a full understanding of the American strategy in Iran, thank you for your attention to this matter

If ever there were a song that I wish would lose its relevance. War! What is it good for? Absolutely nothing Say it again m.youtube.com/watch?v=01-2...

Good morning Bermuda! Very honoured to be the inaugural recipient of the Bermuda Principles award tomorrow

you say “zoning laws aren’t important” and I say “I don’t think Cryptkeeper should be allowed to operate a petting zoo”

There's a "is anyone even reading this" sort of honesty you get in the software update release notes from a project that's been around for a long time.

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Still seems crazy that Richard Hanania wrote for years under a white power banner and is just like, part of the media landscape.

Just cleared customs and security at Dulles, can confirm global entry shutdown here. TSA pre still functioning as of 6:45am tho

I blame science fiction dystopias for inventing the phrase “structure hits” back in the 90s

If you hear someone complaining about how young people don't like to read or can't read whole books etc. that is a pretty sure sign they don't know any young people

Powerful men have revered King David for a long time. There are various reasons, but I think the main one is: he's the Taking Advantage Of Women And Then Seeking Restoration Without Atonement guy. And that sort of thing's in the news, as it always has been podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/d...

Let's try this again 👋 Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA. I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

Wes Rucker was just a great, great dude.

I hope these messages Alysa is trying to get out here are hitting athletes who need to hear them, but I hope they’re hitting coaches & parents & admins even harder

The best time to leave Substack was 2023. The second best time is now. Plenty of people will help you transition to Ghost, Beehive or Buttondown.

maybe we can talk about this once it’s the common dem position to affirm the humanity and rights of trans people at least as directly as he has

one reset I'd personally appreciate: behind the insistence that we must offer the electorate a little bigotry is the idea that commoners are more bigoted than the richer and more educated, who can be appealed to with high minded policy. but then you Ctrl+F "phrenology" in the Epstein files

Every tooling team is brought low by a premature attempt to make the tool infinitely flexible, before it is capable of doing the one thing required of it. The result is always that it can do 90% of everything, but not 100% of anything, rendering it useless.

A rabbit hole of identifier geekiness I'd love to have more time to investigate: the International Standard Recording Code. It's an identifier for musical _recordings_, uniquely specifying a particular incarnation of a musical work and tracking it across distribution channels. isrc.ifpi.org
