Can none of these millionaires sex criminals write in full sentences? Have you heard of paragraphs? Punctuation? No wonder ChatGPT sounds like a genius to these clowns.

Shalom, friends,
#Halloween is a time for our darkest stories. Gather ‘round the phone screen and I’ll retell a classic tale of terror from the #Talmud. A cautionary tale about fear, forbidden power, and femicide.

Every tech company* has platform teams trying to build:
1. Heroku, except hand-rolled
2. One giant shared database, so engineers can ignore analytics without consequence
3. If they have a monolith, microservices. If microservices, a monolith
4. A solution to the halting problem
* Hyperbole. I hope

Millennials are a goldilocks generation raised in the narrow window between leaded gasoline and social media and hooooo boy is that showing these days
in this house, we have heckin' doggos, we adult like a boss, we drink IPAs, we listen to Matt and Kim, and we also are apparently the only age cohort meaningfully committed to liberal democracy

reactionary centrism is best understood as a media establishment which attempts to expand Democrats' ideological responsibility as broadly as possible while diminishing the Republicans' as much as possible
at no point in this piece does barro actually identify specific democratic politicians who are guilty of the sins he has accused them of.
“Democrats talk easily about how the party has gotten 'out of touch,' but they don’t draw the obvious connection about what happens when you’re out of touch: You get things substantively wrong and alienate voters with your unpopular ideas,” Josh Barro writes:

There are two wolves inside of you. If the first acquires lock A and the second acquires lock B, and then the first attempts to acquire lock B while the first attempts to acquire lock A, they will deadlock. Teach your wolves concurrency.

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

imagining what we might look like as a fully inflated museum
The Horniman Natural History Gallery features this stunning walrus.
It was transported to England, purchased in 1886. There, the taxidermists, having never seen one in the wild, stuffed it until the wrinkles smoothed out.
This is a fully inflated walrus, my friends.
MAXIMUM WALRUS.
