I saw Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) last night and it was utterly joyous. Hard recommend for an optimistic start to 2026 theater going

This person went on a buying spree over the past 24 hours. Fresh wallet. Only existed since Dec 27th and has only bet on Venezuela-related markets. polymarket.com/@0x31a56e9E6...

Could you start with your brain

Is Graham the leader the Silicon Valley Left needs? Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky retweeted this…

One thing I wrote about here is how technology has made buses *way* more convenient while techno-futurists were obsessed with flying taxis and self-driving cars.

New York has fallen

Blimey

Anderson Cooper is still sober? Something’s wrong

BBC goes live to Ghana for a bit of local flavour. Reporter finds an Irish lass in the crowd for her thoughts 😂

Happy new year, Britain! x

Exclusive: U.S. national-security officials said that Ukraine didn’t target Russian President Vladimir Putin or one of his residences in a recent drone strike, challenging Moscow’s assertion that Kyiv sought to kill the Russian leader.

Social media was a mistake

New Yorkers really need to let the metro card go, jeez

I always enjoy this: @davelee.me @parmy.bsky.social and @thorbecke.bsky.social on a couple of books each that say something relevant for tech right now >> Want to understand where AI is heading — and who might win the race to get there? These books can help www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Every time you're charged a subscription fee it should appear on your card statement with a unique code you can enter into one single website that cancels whatever it is immediately.

I've lived in America for 10 years. I could do another 50 and still not come close to understanding Phish.

me: let's take it easy this month my credit card:

"She went home with a bill. The parents went home with the baby." a horribly unjust tale from @klong.bsky.social www.wsj.com/us-news/surr...

There are so many easy wins out there for someone like Bezos. Central Park's annual operating budget is ~$75m. Pay it off for a decade! Get the deserved good press!

We made an 18 minute video about Tesla and the doors, featuring a lot of footage that I obtained via public records. Now on YouTube: youtu.be/2lFzqBt3z0w

The title race was a mirage

My mum talks about the family group chat as if everything posted there is being broadcast on BBC1

I’m starting to suspect Elon is not operating in good faith

So Boris Johnson, Prince Phillip, Andrew Bonar Law, Freddie Mercury, George I, George II, Richard E Grant, Douglas Carswell, Rudyard Kipling, Cliff Richard, Joanna Lumley and Spike Milligan weren't British? Interesting www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

A friend recommended Project Hail Mary saying it "wasn't too sci-fi". I'm not sure I'll ever speak to them again.

New circular deal graphic just dropped

All hail the genius at the Economist who pulled this off in a pitch meeting

Sometimes the gate the media gatekeepers were protecting had a purpose.

What a king

"While President Donald Trump’s peace plan appears to be holding, albeit with regular Israeli airstrikes, the crisis endures." That is one hell of a load-bearing "albeit."

Has nothing on Chambers St subway

Is there much point to describe lounge access as a perk when so many have it? Wait time is … an hour and a half

Stunning

I find this kind of comment frustrating and unbecoming. Different models work for different scenarios. “Support and donate” is the way for coverage that has a narrower, specialized audience for whom payment is a form of Doing Something. It’s a great model. It’s not feasible for most outlets.

Only one thing for it: ban cousins

Lawmakers update

So that’s just the price then isn’t it lads

Liz Truss is Patient Zero for the UK’s MAGA online grifter movement. Sadly, it will work for her, so others will follow.

Dread to think what the equivalent would be for my parents’ gift of a year’s sub to the New Yorker

Miller doesn’t mean immigrants, tho. He means non-white. Straightforward as that.

My favorite Facebook feature these days is when it reminds you of how useful the site was 10 years ago

Suggest to Elon we could spend money to improve the DMV and you’ll be called a communist and/or pedophile by lunch time
