This quote is from a piece that’s 8 years old now.
Thinking about that time I got quoted in the National Review about Bari Weiss

An absolute horrific nightmare of two AI bots caught in a loop with each other is the perfect example of the total nothingness of AI “brains”.

My head is generally higher elevation than my rear end when i am awake.
today’s affirmation: I am within the acceptable range of deviation. I am a perfectly roasted quail. if I was a car the mechanics would find nothing weird or rodent related in my air filter. I am upright. There are no stones or excess debris in my shoes. I still have all my bones.

Ladies and Gentlemen...the first seven minutes of Questlove's documentary about SNL's 50-year musical history. It is, quite simply, the best beginning to a musical documentary I have ever seen. Enjoy: loom.ly/v6m2h7w

The uniquely vulnerable West Antarctic Ice Sheet holds enough water to raise global sea levels by 5 meters. But when that will happen—and how fast—is anything but settled.

Pretty deadly by Kelly Sue DeConnick published by @imagecomics.com has some stunning artwork by Emma Ríos. And very good prose and lyrics. 🥹

"Don't steal tears from tomorrow, boy,
Don't grieve what you ain't lost,
Don't waste today on yesterday,
You still got paths to cross."

Republicans have tanked the economy and turned the country into a corrupt autocracy. But my NPR-loving neighbor has been giving me a hard time about my gas-powered leaf blower. I've never felt more politically homeless.

This World AIDS Day we are grateful for the heroic folks at Takalani Sesame and @sesameworkersunion.bsky.social for helping children remember parents and siblings lost to AIDS.

This is the humanities at its best.

little-known fact outside the beltway but this past year The Handbasket has become THE outlet read by (and leaked to by) civil servants who have something to say, please kick some $ or get a subscription if you haven't already
today instead of buying barely discounted crap, get a paid subscription to an independent media outlet! a little $ goes a long way towards supporting a free press. 🗞️

drop links to your own or your faves in the replies so ppl can easily sign up (bonus if you add a couple words about why it’s good!):

If you read Tatiana Schlossberg’s essay in the New Yorker yesterday and want to learn more about her work, here’s an interview she sat down for when she was promoting her book “Inconspicuous Consumption.”
Tatiana Schlossberg On The Power Of Our ‘Inconspicuous Consumption’
A new report finds global efforts to combat climate change over the past several years have been "gravely insufficient,” and according to the Global Commission on Adaptation, it's not so much money, but rather a lack of political leadership that's the source of the problem. A new book from former New York Times science reporter Tatiana Schlossberg details ways in which our everyday choices in clothing, technology, food and fuel contribute to the problem — and how consumers can make a difference by demanding more of the companies and governments behind the systems at play. Jim Braude was joined by Tatiana Schlossberg.
