Braving Berkeley Bowl on Thanksgiving week after a hard therapy session because I am, if nothing else, a consummate masochist.

Unsolicited hot take: with the world on fire and everyone struggling to enact positive change on the world, I humbly submit that everyone indulge themselves and order a glass of wine and eat at least 6 oysters a week.

I know I just wrote a thing about accepting "imperfect comrades" but I don't mean people with Nazi tattoos, just the ones who get them covered up.

A friend described standing in this engine room as a religious experience, and honestly, he wasn’t wrong.

Another day of remembering that all the blood sweat and tears I’ve put into this little boat are immediately worth it the second we get out on the water.

I have reached the point of engaging with the wedding industrial complex that every time I have a bad thought about my body I glue another rhinestone onto my wedding outfit.

Ta-Nehisi Coates understands. Klein doesn't.

It's really that simple.
i love this part and i think it very much shows the difference in depth of thinking between someone like Klein, desperately fighting in the here-and-now and arguing to win a battle with compromise, versus Coates' position that he is a soldier in a long war.

They have never, ever expressed anything close to this level of pain and sympathy for school shooting victims.

It’s fine to say that violence is never the answer, but I can’t help but observe that for Charlie Kirk violence was always the answer, and it was the only answer he offered, and, because of the privilege that he refused to admit he had, he could enact it from a comfortable and respectable place.

I forgot about this for a while but the Bryce Elder "Sam Altman's kitchen" piece may be one of my favourite things I've read in business or tech history.

“It’s tempting to believe that there is some sort of intellectual barrier between you and the powerful — that the confusing and obtuse way that they speak is the sound of genius, rather than somebody who has learned a lot of smart-sounding words without ever learning what they mean.”
Newsletter: It's time for a radical new approach to tech CEOs: mocking them, because they talk like idiots and provide little value to society outside of their dedication to shareholder value. They sound stupid, they do nothing, and it's time to fight back.
