pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

👀 I love surprising ethno-linguistic enclaves! Especially if the language survived despite actively adverse circumstances (such as a smattering of xenophobia or whatever 😇)
One of these pitch ideas might be of interest to linguists who are looking to write for a general audience!

hear me out, what if you could just throw like 50 cents or so in to take down a paywall for an article, and if you do that a few times you could be notified that you basically already paid for a subscription / it could convert to subscription?

Also a trillion is a million millions.
I don't think people realize how much a trillion dollars is.
Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right?
If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS.
No one should have that much.

The Luddites weren't anti-progress. They weren't anti-technology. They were pro worker rights. And it's convenient for the tech barons (in any age) to make us believe those are the same thing.

Keolu's work is so inspiring and I don't use that word too many times in tech these days.
We're seeing lots of headlines about the catastrophic impact of massive data center expansion. But what else could data centers look like?
In my perpetual quest to seek out alternative technofutures, I want to highlight the really cool work of Keolu Fox.
