And they still know how to nurture a scandal--they ran "huh Biden's pretty old isn't he" headlines for weeks. But! Falling asleep in public, incoherent rambles, 'third term', ignoring due process or Congress's powers: none of those seem to clear the scandal bar for 'em
every few years it's revealed that the NYT was sitting on information about some horrific thing that public knowledge of would have changed the country's course and for some reason a ton of people still give them money. you can play those games on other sites

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

With the three-cueing stuff going around: I want to plug _Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons_. Breaks down reading bit by bit, hardest part is enticing your kid to sit down a bit every night! And then find anything (books, comics, candy wrappers, anything!) your kid genuinely wants to read

Using AWS feels like interacting with a bureaucracy. Probably because it is!

No one knows how big pumpkins can get. People always think they can predict the outcome, manage the risks. Then they’re standing in the shadow of something they created, realizing it grew far beyond their intentions.

Tidal's credits browsing is great--"what songs has this person written that other people performed" and "who do they share a producer with" are fun
Tidal has basically the same library, pays artists more, has high quality audio, and detailed production credits — you can even search by producers, instrumentalists, and so on if you're into that kind of thing. I've been using it for years. Zero complaints.
I know every corporation has its thorns and there's no ethical consumption under capitalism etc: but just dump Spotify. do it now.

Apple Music is great, I've heard Tidal is solid, Deezer, whatever. you can transfer your playlists. it'll be ok. they can rot.

I don't know man, it's wild that causality loops and out-of-thin-air values are even *ideas* that come up in modeling concurrent memory access

the decline of instructional design work genuinely sucks, because the job is basically “how do you execute big ideas that sound awesome”
As a fellow instructional designer, that absolutely makes sense for your professional background. You post like an instructional designer.

A therapist told me I was really good at taking big ideas and making them easy to understand. "It's a gift," she said. I pointed out that it's literally my job.

Okay, I’ll quibble: the role of SCOTUS here looks more like recklessness than fecklessness.

Even now, the justices rush to hear case that could overturn Humphrey’s Executor—but dawdle over a challenge to Vought’s pocket recissions. They aren’t _emboldening_ constitutional arson; they’re in on it.
Vought holding the federal govt hostage for a boss who refuses to meet with Democrats is largely a result of Supreme Court fecklessness. We are eight months in and SCOTUS has done nothing to defend civil service laws or block de facto impoundments, emboldening constitutional arsonists.

OK, people who read the NYer: does Chotiner ever do *non*-takedown interviews, either because he's talking to someone he finds neutral-to-sympathetic, or the topic's just not anything momentous?
