Another host, Eugene Daniels, asked Mr. Cuomo what he meant by diversity being a “weakness.” “Diversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,” Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black.

You can't make this up.

Couldn’t help but fancast Owen Wilson as Teddy as I watched it though

I saw Bugonia this morning. Emma Stone did a great job. The movie is doing a lot, but I enjoyed it

MAGA singles are looking for love in Washington. It’s a challenge. The politics of trying to find a partner in an overwhelmingly liberal city can be tricky: “My partner can’t think I’m a fascist. That’s crazy.”

It’s so funny how hard they’re refusing to look inwards wapo.st/49w7lSi

AI Is the Bubble to Burst Them All I talked to the scholars who literally wrote the book on tech bubbles—and applied their test.

So far this year, according to Silicon Valley Bank, 58 percent of all VC investment has gone to AI companies. When a sector is seeing a lot of pure plays it’s more likely to overheat and have a bubble, according to expert framework.

Brb going down a rabbit hole to find the point of now return and how many posts is too many, for science

Like unironically, if you don't want to be labeled as someone who only posts their partner, posts things other than your partner

Anecdotally, I don't think people are pulling back as a consideration for their single friends. I think it's more about not wanting to be one of those people who only posts their bf (& losing followers), which I think is fair.

To that end, just post them occasionally, if that's what you want to do😅

It’s not just in these women’s imaginations—audiences are icked out by seeing too much boyfriend content, myself included, it seems (as indicated by my liberal use of the mute button). When author and British Vogue contributor Stephanie Yeboah hard-launched her boyfriend on social media, she lost hundreds of followers. “Even if we were still together, I wouldn’t post them here. There is something cringey and embarrassing about constantly posting your partner these days,” she tells me, adding that, “there is part of me that would also feel guilty for sharing my partner constantly—especially when we know the dating landscape is really bad at the moment. I wouldn’t want to be boastful.”

A few interesting wrinkles in this piece: a) at what point has a woman posted her man too much? b) what is the purpose of posting a partner if not for the external validation of strangers? www.vogue.com/article/is-h...
