The ending of this 1998 Wired story about Woz is what makes him pass the Joyce Carol Oates test.
I’ve loved this whole profile since it first came out. It’s a land to see a Sam Altman piece next to it in the archive now.

Elie Mystal is spelling it out. Elizabeth Warren is spelling it out
But seems like the powerful white men are still in their group chats bitching about Cancel Culture instead of dealing with their problem.

Larry Summers wrecked it all.
And when Clinton’s repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act drove us into the global financial crisis, Summers popped up again to slash the bailout for everyone but his cronies.
Professor Inequality has ended one of the most disastrous careers in history.

This season, my kid’s team drew one game, but won all the others by blow-out margins.
When they lost the end-of-season tournament this weekend, they cried their 5th-grade hearts out.
Each one sure they’d let down this magnificent team that worked so hard.

Given what’s going on with immigration, it’s interesting the Fox News Martha Nolan story introduces her as “an Irish expat,” with a photo that would work for Mar a Lago.
Like many immigrants, she scrambled for work & marriage visas, got laid off, & couch-surfed.
But blonde = expat.

![From Linda Perry’s Wikipedia:
1987-89: early career
In San Francisco, Perry lived in a small, windowless room, and would play her guitar and sing her own songs on city streets, (31 Third Eye Blind frontman Stephan Jenkins, who at the time was also a struggling musician living in San Francisco, later recalled sitting in a room with Perry, who worked as a waitress down the street, performing their original compositions to one another. The two played each other early versions of "Semi-Charmed Life" and "What's Up?", both of which would become massive hits for their respective bands. It would be decades later that Jenkins realized the songs performed in that private session would sell a combined 17 million records.

Considering 3D-printing retractable chariot spikes for the cargo bike, to discourage the dozen cars that block the bike lane outside the local middle school every day.
They don’t mind forcing kids to veer out into a lane of fast traffic coming off the freeway ramp, but they won’t risk a scratch.
