Very long post, but worth reading ESPECIALLY if you read Ezra Klein:

Did JD kill C.K.?

The stupid part of this is that it doesn't matter, and could be true: kids qualify for SNAP. You can get a cheap "luxury" car at auction if you know the right people and can do repairs. Lots of people work under the table. This is like the "I saw an unemployed person with an iPhone" stories.

I remember reading this article. But I also remember the ads and speeches I heard.

Though, I'm ALSO willing to believe this is a mis-remembering moment . . .

Wasn't that working when Tim Walz was doing it? Then we stopped and moved right?

My man. I feel that from usenet fights in the 90's. Enjoy retirement. You deserve it!

I think it happened the other way exactly once, in one of the Nordic countries . . . don't think we are in line for that here.

I know so many people who want to have "done something" (write a book, paint something) without actually "doing" the thing.

Screenshot of David Simon interview SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

The only correct take on a fundamentally anti-human technology.

Any exercise is better than none. Keep trying things until you find something you like, even if it isn't the "right" one they pen articles and listicles about.

Or just go up there and say "I just got 2 million dollars from the people who killed my dad. That's it. That's the joke."

Mike drop.

Walk off stage.

Behold, a man?

That is such a cool thing I learned today . . .

If I recall correctly form @sarahtaber.bsky.social , they are family farms that are ALSO corporations and wealthy.

Oh, ow. Thank you for this . . .

Love watching pilot program after pilot program determine over and over and over that UBI is an unambiguous positive that does not ruin economies or neighborhoods or lives and everyone nods and goes "wow, cool, interesting" and then does fucking nothing until the next pilot program 15 years later

Is "Michi Adventures" your next book?

What's your case for this?

I would love someone smarter/wider read than me to have a list of "instead of X, read Y" where X is part of the "canon" and Y is a lesser known/modern/non cis/het/white authored with similar themes/character/settings . . .

PBS gets a lot of resources from local licensing and money moving up from local stations. CPB does a lot of work making sure local stations in underserved markets exist and things like underserved schools have media/educational resources (I used to work at WGBH in Boston).

ChatGPT will apologize for anything ChatGPT will apologize for anything - even advice it definitely didn't give, and stuff it definitely didn't do. It very much regrets its recommendation that we hire a giraffe as CEO.

OK so I LOLed at the dinosaurs in Central Park

Or maybe: There is a kernel of an idea in the "pummeling", but this _specific_ thing probably doesn't move the needle.

I don't agree, but I can see that point of view . . .

(But also, yeah, we will :) )

If it helps men relearn how to play, and how to interact physically with each other, I'm happy for the branding to be "Gladiator Tough Guy Murder". (As a man that goes to therapy)

Is now . . . .

How do you keep a kid’s fantasy camp afloat? A summer program running on magic, swords, and financial precarity.

Hey! People I know: www.vox.com/even-better/...

Yeah, no longevity of employment or mentorship. I remember when employees would be at our local Market Basket for decades.

. . . so feel that rage. Here's a safe space (that you pay for) to be mad and misogynist, and that group safe space is easier than doing the hard emotional work it would take to actual get what you say you want.

The left advice requires work and discomfort. Not just money.

After reading the article, and through the replies, I think that the left misses some of the point of the PUA sphere: It tells the audience what they want to hear: You won't get laid, it's not your fault, there's nothing you can really do about it . . .
