No matter how much you want to hate the premise of a hot dog eating contest on principle, it's just impossible with quotes like this from the competitors:
"𝑂𝑏𝑣𝑖𝑜𝑢𝑠𝑙𝑦, 𝐼'𝑚 𝑎𝑙𝑤𝑎𝑦𝑠 𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑚𝑦 𝑔𝑜𝑎𝑙𝑠 ℎ𝑖𝑔ℎ, 𝑏𝑢𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑜𝑡 𝑑𝑜𝑔𝑠 𝑤𝑒𝑟𝑒𝑛'𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔."

I appreciate the neutrality of @nytimes.com, but this is just silly.
You've got a few trump apparatchiks with a documented history of constantly lying about everything vs. the consensus opinion of 99% of economists + observable objective reality.
You don't have to report those two sides as equal 😮💨

My favourite lecture ever was "Introduction to Behavioural Economics" for third years, where I spent two hours taking the piss out of economists for acting like they discovered the entire field of psychology in 2009.

Visited family in 🇺🇸 last week & reflecting on whether I'm likely to go back any time soon. I've visited ~twice a year for the last decade.
It's not that it's "dangerous" for me - yet.
More so it just feels off. As if it's not right to be there going abt life w/ friends & family as if all is normal

Chuck Schumer still operating as if everything is normal. "I know how to win seats back in the senate."
The entire federal govt is being dismantled. Openly disobeying judges' orders. Attacks on press & academia.
He has no grasp that this isn't an "Ah shucks, we'll get 'em next election" situation.

Super cool experience working at the Royal College of Music last week! 🎻
Inspiring wandering around amongst the world's most talented aspiring musicians.
Got to see the world's oldest surviving stringed keyboard instrument (a clavicytherium c. 1480) + RCM's much more high-tech performance lab!

Starbucks' website in November 2024 (left) versus February 2025 (right). Notice anything different...?
I didn't think I could be any more cynical, but the extent and speed with which companies have dropped "Diversity & Inclusion" has shocked even me.

This parenting book (Cribsheet, by Emily Oster) has some of the best science communication I've ever read.
The way the author describes the relative strength of different methodological approaches and how one might interpret standard deviations / significant differences / etc is wonderfully clear.

Loads of baseless hype in Sam Altman's blog post this weekend.
The bits about "broadly distributed outcomes" & "abundance and prosperity" are particularly laughable.
Can we all finally agree that the philanthropic social progress / technofuturist myth is dead? blog.samaltman.com/reflections

This man kills thousands of ppl every year for profit.
I appreciate pragmatism in a broken system, fair enough. But what gets me is he could stop any time and still be unfathomably wealthy.
What sort of person continues killing for an extra £20m when you're already sitting on £100s of millions?!

Broke down & cancelled my Washington Post subscription. Killing @anntelnaes.bsky.social cartoon was the last straw.
I grew up reading The Post. Reading the print edition every morning from 12-18yrs old impacted me massively.
Impossible to deny it's just another oligarch's propaganda now.
