Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea

Dress for the Department of Transportation you want.
Duffy: "Trump talks about the golden age of transportation. But the golden age in transportation truly begins with you ... People dress up like they're going to bed when they fly ... so we want to push people as we come into a really busy travel season: Help people out, be in a good mood, dress up"

Spurs lineup for the NLD seems meant to clog the middle, not have possession, and maybe find something on a counter or set piece. Whatever the result, the intention is a slog.

🎶That's the pain,
That cuts a straight line
Down through the heart;
We called it love.
We wrapped our arms around each other,
Tried to shove ourselves back together.
We was making love,
Making love.🎶

I’m also struck by a media-savvy adult noting that coverage of Israel didn’t used to be so negative and blaming it on TikTok antisemites and not—also—decades of Netanyahu and the far right.
“Back in the days of network news, they were more respectful of Rabin” is not a hard idea to unpack.

I'm struck by this clip of former Obama speechwriter Sarah Hurwitz saying Holocaust education has backfired in part because people Palestinians as victims: "They think the lesson of the Holocaust is…you fight the big powerful people hurting the weak people."

Summers didn’t actually coin this, but he’s proudly associated with the idea that a person has no incentive to take care of something they don’t own, only use.
It’s supposed to be a shorthand for economic theory but now it seems to be a mantra for sex offenders.
