Curate your own newspaper with RSS Escape newsletter inbox chaos and algorithmic surveillance by building your own enshittification-proof newspaper from the writers you already read

Newsletter: In a media landscape dominated by algorithmic feeds that aim to manipulate and extract, sometimes the most radical thing you can do is choose to read what you want, when you want, without anyone watching over your shoulder.

Here’s how to use RSS.

We have this stuff at the office. It's... good, but I don't think I'd ever pay for it myself

Am I crazy to think we've seen multiple catches better than this within the current season alone?

Jesse Welles has a truly special talent for dropping a line in the middle of a verse that makes me completely forget whatever it was I was doing

You’ve had success having a point of view on your show, as Colbert has, at least in the ratings. Late night used to be broad, unifying entertainment. I know Jay Leno recently spoke on this topic, about making a show for everyone … I’m going to take a hard pass on taking comedic advice from Jay Leno.

John Oliver just says the thing. I'm happy for him.

At a massive discount apparently

Haven't they also heavily invested in OpenAI?

I was about to write something along the lines of "I *wish* my wife wanted to use my tools" but then realized that's maybe not a sentence I should be putting out into the internet willy nilly

“GPT-5 is the first time that it feels like talking to an expert in any topic — a Ph.D.-level expert,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said.

I still sometimes think about random physical gags you did as Jaysohn and giggle to myself, does that count?

Middleton has the correct philosophical approach to owning a baseball team, this isn't the first time I've said this.

Alt text game on point

I'm assuming international tourism is down as well, for equally obvious reasons

The one time I used it was NY-Baltimore for a trip I knew about well in advance and it was only $29 each way. Seems like they're just miserably bad for last minute stuff.

I'm already watching this right this second! I'll get off Bluesky and give it the attention it deserves.

Someday Brennan will sleep, and I hope it's a very deep restful sleep because he's earned it, but in the meantime I'm just going to enjoy as much of the tremendous content as I can!

We thought it would make sense to give votes per bedroom, but then one of the roommates got married and had 3 kids and suddenly it's not seeming like they're being properly represented anymore

I dunno if what he had would've qualified as "well groomed"

Oh and Slater, knew I was missing someone

No SP added, but McMahon, Rosario, Bednar, Bird, Caballero, Doval? That's at the very least a crazy active deadline. TBD if it's quantity over quality, but... I'm not unhappy

What a wild deadline

What tour?

This deadline is so much more interesting than anyone thought it would be

Gonna depend on what the Yankees are sending back, but this seems like the right tier for the Yankees to be shopping in. Good reliever, 1.5 years of control, probably not good enough or young enough to command a huge return, but still good enough to hopefully stabilize the pen (please please please)

Flipping Suarez while adding Miller would be such an AJ Preller thing to do

What’s a technology that you think is overhyped? I’m going to give a sideways answer to this, which is that the venture capital business model needs to be understood as requiring hype. You can go back to the Netscape IPO, and that was the proof point that made venture capital the financial lifeblood of the tech industry. Venture capital looks at valuations and growth, not necessarily at profit or revenue. So you don’t actually have to invest in technology that works, or that even makes a profit, you simply have to have a narrative that is compelling enough to float those valuations. So you see this repetitive and exhausting hype cycle as a feature in this industry. A couple of years ago, you would have been asking me about the metaverse, then last year, you would have asked me about Web3 and crypto, and for each of these inflection points there’s an Andreessen Horowitz manifesto. It’s not simply that one piece of technology is overhyped, it’s that hype is a necessary ingredient of the current business ecosystem of the tech industry. We should examine how often the financial incentive for hype is rewarded without any real social returns, without any meaningful progress in technology, without these tools and services and worlds ever actually manifesting. That’s key to understanding the growing chasm between the narrative of techno-optimists and the reality of our tech-encumbered world.

Sure, but earlier in the episode before Sasquatch came out? Really just thinking about what would've happened if he missed one before it became more obvious that it was set up specifically for his benefit.

I'm looking forward to the behind the scenes episode next week, just to hear what would've happened if he'd gotten one of these wrong
