Cory really dropped into a finely polished lucid flow state on this one. Too many quotables per second. This one though, "You know, Elon Musk pops his clogs from too much ketamine. There will be a succession battle overnight."

Do enough litigation and you realize that most people are positively moronic about what they put in their emails.
of all the atrocities these emails likely allude to, it's still amazing that 'elites' write awful things *in emails*. so above the law, so convinced of their rectitude, so conditioned to impunity.

This is one of my favorite recent random texts from a stranger. The whole “still in my room or in your dad’s room” is rich narrative material. Also the comma usage makes me wonder if the recipient is Captain Pete or the reverse. Thanks, Uranus x Mercury season!

The wonderful thing about this famous picture is that it was taken as we were all standing in front of Chuck Schumer’s office and it shows Aaron absolutely going OFF on him. Thirteen years ago, and Aaron was right as always. (Thx to @self.agency for capturing the moment!)

This is grossly irresponsible reporting by the AP. What’s being offered is not a buyout. The deal is if you agree to resign in September you can continue working remotely until then. There is no buyout or severance.
