if i could snap my fingers and force all journalists everywhere to implement one linguistic tic i think i'd mandate "cars (which kill more than 3,000 people every day)"
Cars, which kill hundreds of New Yorkers every year, are allowed to go 10 mph above the speed limit before they get ticketed by speed cams.
Lyft initially declined to comply with Mayor Adams's proposed e-bike speed limit, pledging instead to slap speedometers and let riders self-regulate.
But that's before Deputy Mayor Randy Mastro stepped in and called the bikes "an emergency threat to life and property." buff.ly/ZOq4T0g

To paraphrase a LinkedIn post I wrote, it’s tough to be a creative taking part in the group therapy session on LinkedIn. It’s lame that they think AI + whatever else negates the need human creatives, bc contemporary professional life needs it’s humanity and creativity more than ever.

it’s incredibly difficult to understand why no studio boss has never, not even once, decided that a romcom might be improved by an Act II introduction of The Predator

Progress isn’t about perfection. Purity culture and holier-than-thou posturing slows progress. I’ve left scenes because leaders spent too much time arguing about whose way was purer and not enough time actually doing anything. Progress happens inch by inch not mile by mile.

P.T. Barnum once said that there's a sucker born every minute; an unholy union of something both Oedipal and Sisyphean, forced to relive the moment of his birth again and again for all eternity...And now, for only ten cents, you too can see the amazing

It’s a huge bummer when the comment section below a good LinkedIn post starts with a “buy my service/product/course” comment by the OP. I get why they (have to) do it, but I hate how much professional life is just selling oneself + steering every conversation towards a consumer acquisition beartrap.

It's cool, and feels amazing, to realize that we're going to have a recession because the president thinks that kids have too many dolls now. It's obviously very stupid, but feeling like you should/do have the right to discipline other people's kids is also a core conservative value.
