This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features
that were in

and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize

Fuck you

so unnecessary

Someone asked me if I’d take a deal where I got $50k, but my worst enemy got $100k.

I said, “sounds amazing. I’ve always wanted $150k."

What do you get if you cross an angry sheep with a angry cow?

Every time I read a piece about somebody with an “ai-assisted editing process” I feel like I’m watching someone trying to intellectualize a deliberate choice not to think or concentrate

When aimed at decentralized social networking services, the attacks can cause instability and outages, but not everyone is taken offline.

Calm down, computer software isn't making decisions about who lives and who dies in war. It merely processes a ton of data and then makes a recommendation to a human who has no realistic way to verify it

Chinese Overseas Student Numbers Drop to a Decade Low With outbound numbers retreating to 2016 levels and post-grad returnees reaching an eight-year high, shifting global dynamics are rapidly reshaping China’s talent flow

Caixin: "570,600 Chinese students went abroad in 2025. The figure represents a decline of nearly 20% from the historical peak of 703,500 in 2019, bringing the scale of outbound students back to around 2016 levels."

seven months on beehiiv, by the numbers was leaving substack worth it?

There's a lot of talk about leaving Substack & whether it will be the death-knell of your newsletter. I have been on Beehiiv for 7 months now & @tlpavlich.gay helped me run some numbers. So, was leaving Substack worth it? The answer, for me, has been a resounding "yes."

Here are the hard numbers:

Palantir raises more red flags when you learn the CEO, Alex Karp is obsessed with speaking in German and describes himself as a socialist but doesn't believe in any leftist economic policies.
