Honestly I’m starting to treat the word epistemology the way I treat the word females - every time I see it pop up I know there is about to be some bullshit

It's not just that Warsh would be beholden to Trump. That is the most important thing, but it also overshadows the fact that his Fed calls down the years have been bad--not uniquely bad, but systematically bad. I'm old enough to remember when he wanted to hike rates in 2008

We’re just not focused on what matters here on earth

This is makes me happy

you could pass me a note tho

The global effort being made by governments right now to stop doing mail as a public service should worry a lot more people

I think it definitely depends on what you're in the market for - the clothes for women my age right now are polyester trad wife, microplastic flour sack, sad beige, or stretchy plastic athleisure

Not Gen X, but clothes made from natural fibers that have a shape and can handle being washed would be nice

The other question you'd have to ask yourself is if it is worth volunteering to engage with the agencies tasked with managing it during the current moment

I would say it definitely used to be, but it's really a toss up now - the line still going to be shorter but definitely not short

Has been the whole time unforch

Ever think about how these idiots are robbing us of some of the last few habitable years

Apple’s Heir Apparent Steps Into the Spotlight As the company turns 50, the wheels of succession are in motion. John Ternus is likely the next CEO.

A little under a month ago, Businessweek published a profile of the (now) new Apple CEO from my @bloomberg.com colleague Mark Gurman. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

dragon-in-a-fez on tumblr: "keep thinking about how I wrote in my dissertation about how every time a new form of public/social space emerges it's immediately popular with kids and teenagers who see it as a chance at freedom and then adults colonise it and kick them out. this happened with malls in the 80s and diners in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my dad was doing research on this trend in like 1975. and I was like "yeah so this is going to happen to the internet" and then five years later every government suddenly decided to ban kids from everywhere online. I hate being right especially when I don't even get paid for it"

Dems could probably give themselves a decent bump if they did $1700 tariff refund checks to everyone

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

Keir Starmer’s meandering Mandelson speech met with explosion of laughter Labour benches sat in a miserable, stony silence, unclear if they still backed their prime minister

notice how it's always the fault of the teens and never the weird pedos making the policy

Note the age range - they want to make sure we aren’t graduating high school or going to college and that we’re baby trapped before we have a second to think for ourselves. Small wonder why child marriage is still legal in 34 states.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

I didn’t want to bring sauce day to the masses but I suppose we can do it

Starting an anti-AI cooking newsletter and it’s just how to make condiments at home now that they want to surveil you for LLMs

“Hi this is the family dinner no one wants to sit at - we are calling on a recorded line for quality and training purposes”

This is fucking gross and the idea that StoryCorps is involved is even worse

Honestly tho everyone we are sending would prefer to just talk to themselves, write up something with their crayons and call it so technically he is right
