Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?
Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Look for the helpers.
Feels like society’s really broken down in the US in a way that’s deeply traumatic.
But also there are college students knocking on doors asking for shovels (they’re not well-prepared) and helping trapped motorists by shoveling and pushing out cars. Up to 24 of them now, wandering streets together

Vanity Fair has a new profile of Waymo CEO Tekedra Mawakana, positioning her as a kind of anti-Elon, and yours truly gets quoted along the way.
Worth a read, if you think all "self-driving cars" are the same, and all leading to the same place (they're not).

this is a good post and "decadence" is a good way to think about a lot of things. true decadence is, eg, thinking you could let an insurrection go unpunished and the country would just keep chugging along nbd

Hi, are you doomscrolling about tariffs?
Have you had something to eat? Is there an offline activity you can do tonight instead, like read a book, compile a list of essential items you need to stock up on, or call an elected official about the recession ahead?
Try not to stay up too late tonight.

Don't get distracted by the theatrics. The party in charge of Congress could end all of this tomorrow
They obviously didn’t, the emergency declaration is nonsense and Congress should override that declaration tomorrow.
One thing nobody's talking about is whether Congress really gave the president the power to singlehandedly upend decades of tax and trade policy.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.
