FLOW GOT THE OSCAR! What a beautiful film. I am so happy for both it and the entire Latvian team who put it together. The little indie that could!

I have to admit I am pretty disappointed that my Alderman @andrefor40th.bsky.social voted for this bond. How is this even remotely responsible?

The fake Taylor Swift story is still being spread by Resistance accounts with crazy huge followers, including this one that, for extra fun, claims to have fact checked it. Why are so many people following these grifters?

Congestion pricing is already delivering on its promise to reduce traffic, but to fully deliver its potential, the MTA must use the money raised efficiently - the MTA could build 10x as many miles of subway per dollar if they were to reform their construction practices using European best practices.

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Rewatching Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, I’m amazed by how many young actresses I didn’t recognize at the time who are now starring in well-reviewed indie films. It’s surprising how many more familiar faces I notice now compared to my last viewing.

Why would you use a spy tanker to cut a cable? Like the downside risk of this feels pretty high.

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

Authoritarian populists have no plan—they just have grievance. That's why you see so much fluidity between populists on the far right and the far left. When your entire agenda is defined by people you want to punish, partisan lines mean nothing.

So I discovered Poppi a few months ago. This was a nice surprise (they are pretty low in sugar and calories) for me as I have not drank soda for some years. Last night I decided to try a coca-cola to see how they compared and frankly? Poppi all the way. Coke tasted faker somehow and just wasn't good
