What a way to run a country

American soft power is so much more powerful than directly brandishing economic and military might. It's also way, way cheaper and doesn't involve people getting hurt. Making the world hate us and burning that soft power that the US has cultivated for decades is insane.

I get frustrated when I see people using AI to replace critical thinking at work, 1000x worse when people do it in the context of the global economy. Our country is being ruled by the dumbest, least creative, least thoughtful people and anyone who voted for them is also in that bucket. You assholes

Nothing like being abroad to really lock in the embarrassment of how much the Trump administration is tanking the US’s standing in the world. Just awful.

Can’t believe we are living in a world where people can’t think more than one step ahead and need a painful collision with reality to change their minds when thinking for five minutes could prevent a ton of pain

I can't believe this take - "In ordinary markets, an increase in supply would reduce prices. But Cambridge defies the laws of gravity: No matter how many units we build, the prices will not go down." You can't seriously believe that, Rand www.cambridgeday.com/2025/01/10/c...

One thing that people using AI for summarization and writing miss is that writing is thinking. Summarizing a meeting without reflecting on what it means is not useful

Happy to report that the @mbta.bsky.social GLX shuttle bus during was actually pretty efficient. Not a significantly worse commute than when they make everyone get off at East Somerville then wait for the next train

Should be illegal to say something is “in Boston” but it’s actually in a suburb outside 95

Last time I was in Ireland everyone was very keen on "splitting the G" on a pint of Guinness which was news to me despite going regularly for over a decade and being a big fan of fun drinking rituals. Turns out it was invented in 2018 and only took off in 2022! www.nytimes.com/2024/12/03/d...

I remembered to start my dry brining of the turkey 36 hours in advance this year instead of 12 and am dismayed at how much of a difference that made

Conveniently doing everything from home, unsurprisingly, sucks for everyone. Consider leaving the house to do things that you could do at home, it's an oldie but a goodie slate.com/business/202...
