Where do we think I could write a short article in praise of the Airbus A340-600's Grand Cargo Hold Toilet Cathedral? Soon they're retiring and one of the most hilarious aircraft ever will be no more

RIP Kurt Vonnegut you would have loved this but just for normal reasons not to do with your writing

Been losing people without strong replacements for a few seasons I’m afraid, and none of the stars can carry the team in a given game if they’re the only one who showed. I also don’t think Potter knows how to coach a defense

Blueskyism? It’s just called being outside, why are we making up new words for it

If it’s a strike how come it looked to me, the batter, like a ball, smart guy?

Deal-making law firms generally weren’t trying to avoid executive ordersβ€”they were trying to signal a willingness to do work that accelerates crony capitalism and authoritarianism. Just look at the kinds of deals they’re getting for clients now (fully explained on Substack):

You’re writing an urgent memo for work. Suddenly the cursor and keyboard freeze. Your browser tabs blank out. Excel crashes.

Finally the culprit of the surge in memory demand reveals itself. On Teams, an AI tooltip lets you know you can switch between β€œmonth” and β€œweek” in calendar view

So counterpoint I guess; Autumn of the Patriarch has a good sendup of how hollow the transnational solidarity of authoritarians is and narratively one sees that solidarity between different regime types is also qualitatively different

Could see it; sure he writes specifically but I don’t imagine him getting tied up in the place per specific line

Sick of the stolen valor over this lyric, giving credit to Lana and Action Bronson when this is clearly a Fray lyric

Unfortunately for their projected readership it’s pretty easy to predict a rightward slant from the headline β€œthe left gets a new publication”

This is the story of how DOGE targeted Halimi on social media.

Then the Taliban took his family. 🧡

You look at a deal like this and like, what conclusion to draw except every exec in this business lives off of breathless revenue projections up front and throws mediocre audience growth projections out the window

As if this week were not bizarre enough: Mount Pleasant residents tell me a group of federal agents gathered for a photo-op near a pro-immigrant banner, pictured below, then tore it down.

In its place, they left a dildo. A neighbor's Ring camera captured the whole thing...
