Amazon's driverless taxi is cute but everyone involved in developing and approving the name "zoox" should be re-educated in the most brutal manner possible.

I hadn't heard that Mark Mellman was ill. He was ahead of his time in seeing the limits of traditional message testing methodology.

David Brooks is so upset about the imaginary reasons people think elites and institutions are corrupt and depraved that he believes we should ignore the actual ways in which elites and institutions are corrupt and depraved.

I once heard someone described as being from so far back in the hills they don't get the Opry til Tuesday.
The Grand Ole Opry is turning 100. As the country music institution celebrates a century of its radio broadcast, listen to how the show defined the culture — and was reshaped by it — decade by decade.

There was a time in my career when I worked by-god 100-hour weeks during election season. I was in Ironman shape and it still wasn't sustainable for more than a few weeks.

I know I'm greedy but I wish Mark Penn was in the Epstein files; it would be great not to have to deal with any more of those zombie Harvard/Harris polls.

An all time great Colbert joke:
In fairness to Mark Sanford's staffers, "I'm getting some Argentinian tail" sounds a lot like "I'm hiking the Appalachian Trail" when you're on a satellite phone.

The famously easy task of telling the American people that their lived experience does not match the numbers.
Rep. Keith Self on Newsmax: "If you saw Fox News just recently, groceries, gas, inflation in general is down under President Trump. Now, the mainstream media won't tell you that. But those are the actual numbers. We just have to get the American people understanding."

For the 600K people who pass through every day, Penn Station is indispensable. It remains the busiest transit hub in the U.S. It is also widely abhorred. More broadly, it is a stagnant symbol of something deeper in America, a condition that afflicts so many attempts to get big things done: inertia.

If your answer is singular, do more.
Last thing I’ll say about this for now:

What is the _actually existing publication_ that you evangelize for? That you consistently hype when they do good things, urge people to support, and are a sustaining donor or subscriber to?

This isn’t a prompt; it’s a reminder to hold yourself accountable.
