Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

The approximate cause of death for Anne Frank was the Nazis. The specific cause of death was the outbreak of Typhus at Bergen-Belsen camp, which overtook her (and others) from chronic malnutrition and medical abuse. These conditions are not, in character, unlike our system of immigration camps today

This is illegal act of war committed by a president who is actively trying to cover up evidence he sexually assaulted a 13 year old girl.

This should not be treated as legitimate in any way.

Who decided that Ross Douthat has anything interesting to say about anything? Is there a more cloying "journalist" on the planet?

What does it profit a man to have billions of dollars if he has no one to, lovingly, tell him to shut the fuck up

We ignored and condescended our β€œless-educated and lower-income neighbors” for decades, so I don’t imagine we’ll deserve a whole lot of universal empathy.

The book is extraordinary, and a reminder that all of our modern problems are a direct result of Reagan’s policies.

It’s time to protest Apple, too, but will people actually do it? The brand that can do no wrong for far too many has a leader doing everything wrong.

You can’t cancel Prime, but keep feeding Apple, and think you’re taking a stand. You’re not.
