Airlines know how many carry-on bags they can fit. Then why is their solution to randomly deal with it at the last minute and check the ones that can’t fit. Why not make that part of the check in? My assumption is they just want to monetize it instead of solve it.

The internet is at its best, when you can see a transcendent film (Sinners) and then go down a rabbit hole of music and find gem after gem. Here's one of my fav finds from this weekend. youtu.be/Lz1LEYxFQ5Q?...

As a parent, these are the kind of songs you end up having an over-sized emotional attachment to -- because you took your kid to see the movie and you both hummed that song for the next week.
Number Ones on Into The Spider-Verse, a great movie, and on "Sunflower," a pretty-good song.
The Number Ones: Swae Lee & Post Malone’s “Sunflower”
In The Number Ones, I’m reviewing every single #1 single in the history of the Billboard Hot 100, starting with the chart’s beginning, in 1958, and working my way up into the present. Book Bonus Beat:...

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.
I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

This one resonated with me quite a bit. People need to have intention around the content they consume and fight 'Algorithmic Complacency"

In “Way of the Kings” there’s a cursed king who doesn’t know whether he will wake up a genius or an idiot each morning.
That’s how I am now with anger. Today I am very angry.

Every consulting firm reaching out today to let me know there are tariffs and that they will 'greatly impact' my business -- without offering any guidance whatsoever -- can kinda fuck off.

Contestants on Beat Bobby Flay used to showcase simple ingredients like cranberry, steak, and mint. Now, it's more like “the leftover cheese from the pizza of a man binge-watching Succession alone,” and contestants are like, “You know what pairs well with corporate exploitation? Balsamic vinegar.”

No idea how accurate this is, but in my head at least I imagine burning through 50 AA batteries every time I ask AI to summarize something for me.
Makes it all much less appealing tbh.

Look, I am no Trump fan, but let's stop this silly cancelling of people that make their own choices. Instead of putting energy into shaming people you disagree with put some energy into coming up with ideas on how to bring people together. This stuff just feeds the polarization, it's so, so tired.

i feel sad when i think about the small, personal uses of Chat-GPT. i feel sad about the 19-year-old getting a valentine's day card that has a GPT-generated poem in it. i feel sad about the bereaved person getting a dozen GPT-generated emails each pretending to say something about their loss.
