“The 18-year-old high school student alleged the server would not let her exit the Buffalo Wild Wings restroom until she unzipped her hoodie and showed she had breasts.”
This is what gender surveillance looks like. It’s sexual harassment. The idea that this “protects women” is painfully ridiculous.

Totally blown away by The Apocalyptic Professor by Jerry Z. Muller about Jewish scholar Jacob Taubes. From the Apostle Paul to the Frankfurt School, this biography of a flawed yet fascinating man from Princeton University Press is so worth it.

Premier Doug Ford is reminding Progressive Conservative cabinet ministers and MPPs they will be too "swamped" with their day jobs to help Pierre Poilievre in the federal election campaign.

Also, I'll admit, I'm enough of a humanist to be annoyed at their insistence that I should let machines do all my reading, thinking, and human interaction for me.
If I wanted to avoid thinking, I could have just become a business major.

Probably the saddest thing about generative ai is that it does have a lot of great and helpful use cases, undermined by the quasi-religious mania of enthusiasts and the hellscape of tech companies desperate to forestall the incoming bubble bursting.

This really fits what I heard anecdotally from so many friends who talked to a lot of Trump voters (including my partner, who knocked a lot of doors for Democrats, and friends who talked a lot with coworkers at their working-class jobs and were dismayed by what they heard)
Finally got to this from @jwmason.bsky.social. Wage growth was great during the Biden admin (eliminated a ton of inequality) but the lapsing of pandemic era social support--not just cash aid or superdole but insurance, food, eviction protections--did leave a large chunk of folks materially worse off
Harris Lost on the Economy. Don’t Blame the Voters for It.
