It is if the guy is a convicted pedophile and the guy he's saying is dirty is a candidate for President!!
The emails that you’re seeing now are news in themselves, but that’s because of how they’re coming out—a congressional committee released them—& the context in which they’re being viewed. A guy emailing a reporter talking about old girlfriends or saying someone is “dirty” is not a whole news story.

I actually think this is a fair point and it’s hard to know precisely what you’d publish out of these emails. It’s just maddening in comparison to the NYT’s willingness to absolutely obsess over scurrilous rumors about Biden dementia, Clinton email non-scandals, etc.

Had a minute while eating lunch, and thinking about something -- I wonder how much of LLM-usage misfire comes from not understanding the tools you're using.

This has come to mind to me because of Claude Code, and how some people are able to use them effectively and some are Just Not.

This week I wrote about the rise of the e-bike dad - this piece was originally going to run alongside the story I did in September about the bike boom in general, and we didn't have space in print, but here it is:

from a pharmacokinetics perspective it is a dogshit drug but from a clinical perspective its great, such is the duality of medicine.

Also i didnt go to school for almost half my life expectency for these dumbasses to be wrong about my field with impunity

Every office has an executive tier whose emails are like:

saw on news , , can we replce complianc dept with web 3

and a worker tier whose emails are like:

Dear Jim,
First of all, I *love* this idea! Unfortunately, I spoke with Legal and identified a few issues with this approach. For starters…
Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

Fast & sloppy emails are the academic equivalent of the tech bro black hoodie

A signal that you’re too important & in-demand to write long, carefully thought out and edited emails
best example I've seen so far: Elisa New (Larry Summers's wife) emails Epstein seemingly asking for help in getting an invitation to Serena Williams; he immediately tells her it needs edits, offers a useless suggestion, and in doing so reveals he hasn't actually read it
Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

in the 19th century, there were extraordinarily graphic religious tracts condemning lesbianism and bondage. these were sold for relatively high prices to people who wanted to read about lesbianism and bondage. QAnon is that, but for pedophilia.
q anon specifically is really fascinating given that it was initially founded on an infamous gathering site for pedophiles, moved to the site which was explicitly founded by pedophiles for pedophiles, and basically faded away when its followers just got bored of Satanic Pedophile Armageddon

Every single time! Epstein will write:

"porsecters h4arrsed me w/ sbuopenas al bcuase tr4ificing myners .due porcess much???no"

and then there's, like, the former president of a university or white house counsel or something replying:

"You're totally right, and also I love you with all my heart."

honestly one of the most striking things about epstein's emails is the fact that the man, described in many places as "a genius," is essentially subliterate

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills: the emails from Landon Thomas has his New York Times signature block...he was employed by NY Times at the time. He was communicating directly with Epstein about Trump, and was given incriminating information about Trump. It's been in NYT's possession since 2015

QANON CULTIST IN 2017: "In this 1,879 page thread I will unravel the byzantine system of codewords and phrases the global elite use to mask their pedophile cabal."

JEFFREY EPSTEIN WRITING AN EMAIL AT THE SAME TIME: "helo its me jeff had fun cmmitting sex crimes wit u lst weeknd"
pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes
