That’s so cool. We love it, but Apple’s frickin proprietary mania makes it so hard to adapt for pedagogical purposes.

That’s amazing! How easy would it be for a kid to transition from say a TD Pilot to this?

People should be more up front with you about the degree of trauma involved in witnessing one’s country execute a textbook slide into authoritarianism.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

This is a few months old but it illustrates why Philly is the best sandwich town in the world. The addition of Cooper Sharp to the John's menu was worthy of a report on the nightly news.

John's Roast Pork will add Cooper Sharp cheese to its on menu on Friday

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life:

1. Cold side of a pillow
2. Autumn in New York City, sweater-weather temperature
3. Crocs (the shoe, not the reptile)
4. Finding stuff after thinking you lost it
5. Cats

I wish I hadn’t canceled my subscription last month, so I could cancel it over this. Some folks are really taking seriously Newsom’s injunction to carry on his work.

Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

Thread incoming.

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced.

I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Okay, I was trying to just sit with this, but we are getting very close to a “George W Bush is MY Commander-in-Chief” moment here.

I’m hoping the “pod squad” gets redubbed “copains de capsule.”

Jonathan Haddad 🌴🥥🥥🥥 @haddaddoinwork.bsky.social · 29d

Just noting right here that “the pods” in French are “capsules.” Not sure what to make of it quite yet, but it’s something.

Mick Jagger in Performance. And then Mick Jagger in Burnt Orange Heresy. Great bookends for an epic, wildly self-referential, and limited career in cinema.

I mean, they still don’t have Zip-Loc bags. Some auteur should make a movie about that.

The Last Mile with USAID @thelastmileusaid.bsky.social · Jul 5

They didn’t just shut down USAID.
They liquidated it.

No roll call. No floor speech. Just silence—
and rotting rice where mercy used to be.

They killed the idea that America could care.

Read the eulogy no one gave:

I feel this in my soul

A screenshot of a tweet reading: The best email signature l've ever seen:
"It is normal for me to take 2 days to read my emails and 2 more days to reflect on the matter and respond calmly. The culture of immediacy and the constant fragmentation of time are not very compatible with the kind of life I lead."

Never forget that #SesameStreet once did a sketch based on Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, which involved a Swedish fisherman counting seals until he found the seventh one.

Screengrab of a Muppet of a Swedish fisherman and a Muppet seal with the number 7 on a card around its neck. The Seventh Seal, in other words.

Gonna cross out “difficult,” photoshop in Diderot for Tobias Wilson-Bates, print it and post it on my office door for all prospective French majors.

Tobias Wilson-Bates @phdhurtbrain.bsky.social · Jun 7

It’s a difficult proposition for undergrads to work through, but choosing a major isn’t really about what kind of jobs you want to do so much as what sorts of questions you want to think about or *how* you want to think about questions throughout your life.

I’m glad that just enough German has stuck with me to be able to eavesdrop on this rad, come-to-Jesus phone call the regional-rail ticket taker is having with his f-ed up brother who’s 24 years old and is not taking responsibility for his kid.
