Learning to notice this is one of the key benefits of attending a prestigious university.

Every time you see one of these stories there’s always a lot of talk about their good SAT scores but mysteriously never any excerpts from their essays.

You get into the parent meme ecosystem and you start seeing jokes about older kids that seem totally alien to you and then you wait a few months and you’re like “huh they really do come home with their pockets full of small rocks every day.”

If another high level government official’s child’s mother went public with this message, presumably the White House would get a lot of questions about it?

“Should White House workers be drug tested?” A plot from the West Wing. “West Wing is not real” haters in shambles.

People should be having more fun buying Twitter ads since it seems like they are available to anyone.

The funniest part about this is that the ISS is already scheduled for deorbiting in 2030. The company that won the contract to do the deorbiting: SpaceX

This is the entire foundation of the MAHA movement. There are just a few simple (though not always easy) things you need to do to make yourself healthy and people will instead do incredibly complicated, time-consuming, expensive things to feel like they found a magic pill.

The real interwar Germany is the time between the War of the Seventh Coalition and the Austro-Prussian War.

The major “Easter Egg” in this post is that a character who was on the first two seasons of the show is also on this season. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Liberalism was actually invented to deal with the problems of kings… and the solution they came up with will shock you!

5-4 Supreme Court rules in favor of this statement (Roberts votes with the liberals), but Gorsuch’s concurrence says he would say that the president cannot speak for what the tribal law is.

If I was Marvel I would have simply kept making the movies good, instead of starting to make them bad.

The Reagan quote about the most terrifying words being I’m from the government and here to help but it’s your kid saying “I can do it myself” when you’re in a rush.

Can any gearheads / engineers / winter drivers explain how this is possible in a contemporary awd vehicle? I don’t understand what is happening here. Obviously there are plenty of giant work trucks of similar/greater weight that have to plow snow etc. that don’t get stuck this bad?

Eggs have blissfully been in relatively good supply here in blue Bay Area and I’m pretty worried that as soon as they figure that out they’re literally going to come take our eggs and bring them to red states.

Just did this. Time to pack it in. theonion.com/area-dad-inf...

No one cares about track and field and obviously a lot of… other stuff going on, but… the indoor mile world record was broken twice in the last two weeks after standing for five years.

To feel like a hero one needs to simply perform a maximally heavy deadlift. This solution is available to all men:

Thanks to @fastcompany.com for the article on #TeslaTakedown, I enjoyed the chat! It's happening today! Join or register an event at TeslaTakedown.com. See you out there!

There's news today that half of the CDC's disease detectives have been terminated. Back at the beginning of COVID-19 I wrote about how these crucial health workers on the front lines of the pandemic track an outbreak www.fastcompany.com/90476918/how...

Now that we’re doing a Saturday Night Massacre about the Eric Adams prosecution, lots of elected New York Democrats are getting shown up in the integrity department by FedSoc lawyers? A confusing development.

Fast Company found that it's very easy (in fact, you don't really need to do much of anything at all) to get Instagrams AI bots to generate very disturbing content: www.fastcompany.com/91276645/ins...

I regret to inform folks that I put the original tweet here into ChatGPT and learned a lot about how LLMs work from the discussion about it.

I don't think it bodes well for our political future that a lot of immoral rich people who have done illegal bribes will then need the next election to go one way or they will go to jail.

There's been sort of a shift in VC culture, where it used to be "you make 100 bets and most fail and one goes 100x and that's just market forces at work" and now some of them increasingly seem personally victimized when any of the other 99 don't succeed.

Going to invent a new fitness influencer diet where you have to eat beef, chicken, and pork together at every meal because something magical happens when the different amino acids interact together in your body.

Is Dr. Bronner’s embracing the anti-ESG trends? Not at all, it’s saying B Corp isn’t stringent enough.

Google Maps has become dangerously distracting. The app now issues alerts – with loud chimes – prompting users to confirm incidents like stalled cars. The alerts direct drivers to look away from the road, and there’s no way to turn them off. That’s reckless UX. Me in @fastcompany.com 🧵

If you don't believe the wallet inspector is the ideal avatar for this incredibly dumb, flagrantly corrupt moment, well, you might be running late for an inspection.

Genuine question: Has there been a single piece of objective evidence that the administration has fully complied with a sigle one of these TROs?

Who's going to figure out what's the one group of people who Trump thinks has been treated worse by the government than the J6ers:
