Be kind. Do something nice. To others and to yourself. These are difficult times. And difficult times call for empathy, humility, and community. — Happy Thanksgiving, may better days lie ahead.

Vanity Fair has a new profile of Waymo CEO Tekedra Mawakana, positioning her as a kind of anti-Elon, and yours truly gets quoted along the way.
Worth a read, if you think all "self-driving cars" are the same, and all leading to the same place (they're not).

Anywho, as I tell the young people in my life whom I love deeply, this is your time to create beautiful works of art, to throw the most fun parties you can for no money, and to fight like hell for a future worthy of you. This is NOT a time to retreat into yourself and to forgo the world.

this is a good post and "decadence" is a good way to think about a lot of things. true decadence is, eg, thinking you could let an insurrection go unpunished and the country would just keep chugging along nbd

Hi, are you doomscrolling about tariffs?
Have you had something to eat? Is there an offline activity you can do tonight instead, like read a book, compile a list of essential items you need to stock up on, or call an elected official about the recession ahead?
Try not to stay up too late tonight.

Don't get distracted by the theatrics. The party in charge of Congress could end all of this tomorrow
They obviously didn’t, the emergency declaration is nonsense and Congress should override that declaration tomorrow.
One thing nobody's talking about is whether Congress really gave the president the power to singlehandedly upend decades of tax and trade policy.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

those early gmail invites were hot commodities, let me tell you
On April 1, 2004: Google launched Gmail with 1GB of free storage—100x more than competitors. Many thought it was an April Fools’ joke. It wasn’t. Gmail changed how we email forever, proving game-changing ideas don’t always look serious.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

Believe it or not, there was a time not too long ago that if you were caught in a lie, it was actually a big deal, and people were shamed for it. People's careers were ended over such things.

It does seem to be getting out of hand.
How does a society reestablish the cultural taboo against lying out out of your ass?

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity.
Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.
