Is an event that those involved call "the blip" really dramatic enough for an entire movie? It wasn't a gripping rise and fall. It's a tiny, kinda-pointless-in-the-end blip that happened along the rise. I will say Andrew Garfield as Altman is pretty good www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

anyone else see Mountainhead? I shared some thoughts here: substack.com/home/post/p-...

I wrote a story in 2014 about a digital payments startup called Clinkle. At the time, a source provided me with photo of Clinkle CEO Lucas Duplan burning (fake) money with Richard Branson. It became a metaphor after Clinkle crashed. Now Duplan filed a DMCA takedown to get it removed from Google.

This is too funny sfstandard.com/2025/05/30/o...

RFK Jr. said multiple times during his house and senate hearings today that no scientists have been fired from federal agencies. Our reporting has shown that hundreds, if not thousands, of scientists have been let go from NIH/CDC/FDA

this piece looking back on NYC dining is hitting me so hard with nostalgia, ESPECIALLY this sam sifton riff on the scene at roberta's in 2008 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

fashion trends are moving too fast or i'm too old to follow them. anyway, skinny jeans are apparently "back" already www.vogue.com/article/best...

the new york sewer rats have finally elected a new rat pope

2 obsessive thoughts i've had about the west village girlies story: 1. how do they afford it and if they're rich, why be so basic? 2. carrie bradshaw lived in the UES!!!!!!!!!! (I know the satc ladies hung out downtown but they did not live there!)

big news, Geely is bidding for Zeekr. almost as significant as the time flink acquired cajoo. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Sovereignty outran Journalism. at least it wasn’t tyranny 🙃

I'm not sure i will ever be able to comprehend the deep and enduring hatred my dog feels for the US Postal Service. Today a nice mail lady even gave him a treat, which he accepted then immediately returned to growling and calls to abolish the USPS.

ahaha Quince sells discount gold bars they really do have a dupe of everything

honestly perfect headline techcrunch.com/2025/04/21/c...

My new favorite scientist “I’m not screaming, ‘aliens!’” said Nikole Lewis, an exoplanetary scientist at Cornell University. “But I always reserve my right to scream ‘aliens!’” 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/16/s...

Congrats to TurboTax, which has worked for two decades to stop Americans from being able to file taxes for free. www.propublica.org/article/insi...

Oh man, someone hacked the crosswalks in Palo Alto to have Zuck's voice assure people there is nothing they can do to stop AI slop from being forcefully inserted into every facet of their conscious experience. And Musk talking about how lonely he is. techcrunch.com/2025/04/14/s...

so goldman's approach to tariffs is "if we don't talk about them maybe they're not real" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/b...

The women of the Blue Origin flight "are like payload specialists with a specialty in marketing private rockets. If the flight proves anything, it is that women are now free to enjoy capitalism’s most decadent spoils alongside the world’s wealthiest men." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/a...

the debanking that the crypto industry accused the banks and govt of conspiring to do is nothing compared to **revoking peoples social security numbers** www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

have we gotten to the part where everyone says the stock market is tanking bc of DEI yet

Ozy Media's claim to fame was that it "discovered" big liberal names like AOC and Trevor Noah before they were famous. They were funded by Laurene Powell Jobs and partnered with all the mainstream media outlets. Carlos Watson was on the board of NPR! How did he convince Trump to pardon him?

which famous white collar criminal will be next in line for a pardon... elizabeth holmes, sam bankman-fried, ryan salame, charlie javice (convicted literally today)... it may be time to update this headline

OH MY GOD www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/b...

so far three of my group chats have changed their names to "___ PC Small Group," how about you all?

More pardons for white collar fraud www.wsj.com/us-news/trum...

Hegseth is literally denying a story that the NSC has already confirmed and in which receipts were printed verbatim. Remember this the next time he impugns another journalist.

Nick Denton reveals that Marc Andreessen was a frequent source for Valleywag www.vanityfair.com/news/story/n...

at what point is it ok to post severance spoilers, i'm so upset!

I interviewed this guy ~20 years ago at my very first job and recall he gave some extremely crazy quotes even back then

the pirate's booty founder (who goes by captain bootyhead) does not seem ok www.nytimes.com/2025/03/19/n...
