Posting a free archive link to Stephen King's Rob Reiner eulogy in the Times because everybody should read it: archive.ph/keKfp
It's a gorgeous piece of writing for its restraint. It says more by inference than words ever could. King obviously wrote it quickly & under pressure. He's a genius.

Rob Reiner brought nothing but joy into peoples lives.
The next time some arsehole is on TV spouting hate, remember that they have brought absolutely no joy into the world at all and I'm sick of these people seemingly ruling everything now.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

I'm not quite bright enough to understand all of this, but it is interesting.
I wanted dinner recommendations so I scraped 13,000+ London restaurants and accidentally discovered Google Maps is running a shadow economy. Anyway here's a dashboard and a political economy thesis: open.substack.com/pub/laurenle...
How Google Maps quietly allocates survival across London’s restaurants - and how I built a dashboard to see through it
I wanted a dinner recommendation and got a research agenda instead. Using 13000+ restaurants, I rebuild its ratings with machine learning and map how algorithmic visibility actually distributes power.
