‘There are good interviewers working today. For example, look at how Mehdi Hasan has confronted figures like Erik Prince and Vivek Ramaswamy. One of the rules he lays out in his book Win Every Argument is that you must always “bring receipts”’
Rise of the Idiot Interviewer
Podcast bros are interviewing presidents and power players without doing basic research beforehand. The result is a propagandistic catastrophe.

Pretty simple rule of thumb when wondering why the Trump administration does anything is to ask two questions:
1) is it racist?
Or
2) are they stupid?
Tends to cover most Trump administration stuff.

For what it's worth, Wes Streeting looks like a 10-year-old child who told a genie "I wish I was big", rather than "I wish I was an adult"

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

I’ve been thinking about how monumentally stupid the Elon video game cheating thing is and I think it comes back to this post
there aren’t a ton of people who work in cars, or rockets, or even software
but everyone - everyone! - understands cheating at video games
totally unnecessary self-own

Back from the pub, where we watched a 90yr old man pull into the car park then smash his way through 3 pub benches at breakneck speed. Went to check on him and the first thing he said was "This is the sun's fault." Asked again if he was OK and he said he would be after his 1st pint.
