I have a temporary respite from job app hell (3 years and nothing to show for it! 99% of jobs/gigs I get came thru luck and friends) and it does feel good to no longer be doing something that feels so insanely useless. Legitimately feels like throwing your resume into the trash every time

I emailed Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor for standards and trust at NYT, to ask why their story about a House report with new details of rape allegations against the President of the United States included neither those details, nor a single use of the word "rape." archive.is/1s9AM

Hey def a choice to write up "The President is credibly accused of a new rape" as "Dems call for special counsel to scrutinize ties" bsky.app/profile/ryan...

the point of cheesecake factory is it's classy AND fancy AND trashy AND goofy. staff in fresh-pressed restaurant whites but half the menu items are cheeseburgers. you look equally normal eating there in a suit or in jorts. kris jenner filmed a music video there. it's the fever dream of John Everyman

ive made so many SK recipes and yet there are still so many I want to try, such as this

One of my favorite fall combinations, ever, roasted winter squash is half-mashed with a tangy mess of vinegar-maple onions then heaped on ricotta toasts and finished with fresh mint. It's great for a party appetizer, or light meal with a big salad. smittenkitchen.com/2014/10/squa...

when people ask "why do you think the economy is bad when the stock market is up" this is the kind of shit i want them to read there is next to zero safety net if you lose the job you have, which is at risk every quarter if you're ownership didn't see their revenue go up by the right amount

it honestly sucks how everyone is expected to pretend they’re fine when asked how are you, even if your friend asks. apparently it is not cool to be honest

Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband. Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.

there is literally no good justification for ai video generation, there is only rot and evil and mass deception

eBay users! Don't ignore today's email, even though it looks like a boring standard update to the User Privacy Notice. They want to use your data to train AI models. If you click the link over the words "the right to object", it takes you to a page with a toggle button letting you opt out.

I’m trying to find substantial articles/podcasts about YCSE and it’s irritating me how many insist on being spoiler free - if I’m going out of my way to listen to a podcast that’s only about a specific movie, why does it have to stay vague 😭 at least get into the deets halfway thru or something

loved the form And content afoot here, the more porous dynamic is fun but the interviewer’s early quip about being a felon like holmes frankly came out of nowhere and made me question if I missed something, which in a way feels completely fitting ? hahahaha ahhhhhh

Nathan Fielder is on the cover of @wired.com this month. I interviewed him about Elizabeth Holmes, his extraordinary new film, and whether anyone can ever know what the hell is going on with another person. An exclusive! And quite an experience. Read the full interview here:

this remains a great study of the estranged parents movement, and one of the almost universal features of these narratives is the missing missing reasons--the extreme caginess with which these parents present the events that led to the estrangement

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social

The other category of coverage is *extremely* implausible first-person accounts from estranged parents. According to this woman, her son cut her off after she was mildly rude to his fiance's family a single time. There's no way this is the entire story. www.goodhousekeeping.com/relationship...

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.
