Arboreal cryptid. Photo from my collection, ca. 1950s.
Black and white photo of a longhaired tabby cat crouched on a tree branch, looking down toward the camera.

next week's newsletter includes a few moments where you can see my brain begin to melt
Pretty bad, right? My goose is cooked? All those analysts seem pretty mad! Except it's not, my goose is raw! Yours, however, has been in the oven for over a year!

applying for jobs again
screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

It's time to start reminding people: LILIES ARE DEADLY FOR CATS. The leaves, the petals, the stem, even drinking a bit of vase water or licking a few grains of pollen from their fur can cause fatal kidney failure. ⚠️ www.fda.gov/animal-veter...
Color photo of a white lily blossom, overlaid with a black skull and cross bones and text that reads “no lilies for kitties”.

mr beast talking about the human lives he has trapped in simultaneous simulations with "cant wait to upload these" is why black mirror can never be as good as it used to be
mr beast tweet reads: I have a pilot living in a $2,500,000 private jet and if he doesn’t leave for 100 days he keeps it, a cop/criminal in a jail and if they don’t leave for 100 days they win $500,000, and someone living in a gym until he loses 100 pounds for $500,000. Can’t wait to upload these 🥰

For some random reason I can't put my finger on, I've been thinking a lot lately about the jurors in the Martin Shkreli trial harpers.org/archive/2017...
Screenshot of transcript excerpts from the jury process for Martin Shkreli's 2017 fraud trial. Juror no. 10: The only thing I’d be impartial about is what prison this guy goes to. The court: Okay. We will excuse you. Juror 28, do you need to be heard? Juror no. 28: I don’t like this person at all. I just can’t understand why he would be so stupid as to take an antibiotic which H.I.V. people need and jack it up five thousand percent. I would honestly, like, seriously like to go over there — The court: Sir, thank you. Juror no. 28: Is he stupid or greedy? I can’t understand. The court: We will excuse you. Juror 41, are you coming up? Juror no. 41: I was looking yesterday in the newspaper and I saw the defendant. There was something about him. I can’t be fair. There was something that didn’t look right. The court: All right. I’m going to excuse you. Juror Number 59, come on up. Juror no. 59: Your Honor, totally he is guilty and in no way can I let him slide out of anything because — The court: Okay. Is that your attitude toward anyone charged with a crime who has not been proven guilty? Juror no. 59: It’s my attitude toward his entire demeanor, what he has done to people. The court: All right. We are going to excuse you, sir. Juror no. 59: And he disrespected the Wu-Tang Clan.

This is Archie. He said he was a chiropractor as a joke. This guy believed him and now he's in too deep. 13/10 really committed to the bit
a tan and white corgi stands on top of a man's back. the man is laying face-down on a chiropractor's table. you can tell by the look on the corgi's face that this practical joke has gone way too far, but he's too afraid to admit it to anyone.

somehow the most relatable paragraph I've ever read in a profoundly not relatable article
In court he said that it was an act of stupidity and said he did it because he ‘wanted to impress some random person on the internet’.
