it's like he is trying to generalize his own refusal to see his blind spots into a political strategy. he feels left behind by the urgency of the current moment (HE IS) and is projecting that onto the left more broadly. "we need a big tent so i can stay relevant." no you need to fix your heart

on rapturetok they are postulating that facial recognition technology and possibly AI is the mark of the beast -- wondering if we could harness this somehow

please let us pump the brakes on the curséd Q&A. It’s lazy non-writing that’s usually assigned as a favor or obligation or for a New Yorker freelancer to make word count. for the interviewee, it’s barely mediated PR! I blame podcasts, which are great, but not writing — 🛑 stop it 🛑

what doesn’t get read (much) are author Q&As, in comparison and if packaged correctly reviews still go!

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

given how much money exists in both hollywood & in some of the biggest foundations, i think "liberal" institutions need to be stepping up & giving more. like. a *lot* more.

Don't Talk to the Police
YouTube video by Regent University School of Law Don't Talk to the Police

people have to talk to cops for television, to move the plot forward.

wow yes like a reward for the effort. I swear sometimes white people just laugh at something because it’s delivered in the shape of a joke

I don't know if there's anyone using the privilege of their platform as well as Sally Rooney is, right now. Hard to overstate how different the world might look if everyone in a position like hers pushed on issues they way she does.
