If you're not aware, absolutely absurd shit happening at TCGPlayer. After workers voted to unionize, management went 600 (!) days of no-communication, announced they're closing up shop out of NOWHERE, then hired security guards to follow workers around and beat on 'em. Unreal.

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035. Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

get these lil kids some proper food. complacency with what's happening is starting to shift. Frustratingly late, but better than never. If anything, boosting awareness of this will help, but as always a large coffee's price is a big deal so pitch in!

It's depressing how lab leak gained so much traction through sheer volume. Natural origin has a couple holes in the evidence you plug with "this is how viruses have evolved every other time we've been able to see." Lab leak has more holes, plugged with incredible coincidences and wild speculation.

I always feel a bit bad giving this advice, but it’s always the advice I’m gonna give when asked about writing or anything else I do. Pursue it. Do it. You have to dive right in, put pen to paper, and let what’s in your head outside. As soon as you do, you’re doing the thing.

We make jokes about this sometimes because it’s laughable. But when journalists try to make sense of the nonsensical, rational out of the irrational, and coherence out of the incoherence, they affirmatively do the public interest great harm.

There are so many things wrong with this letter, but one that sticks out to me is “Apple engineers will say this” as an indirect source. Which Apple engineers? Because why would we think that a software engineer in Sunnyvale knows shit about iPhone production?
