    the u.s. virus response feels so much like our response to gun violence. seems easy to prevent! others have! but it's not 'who we are.' a certain idea of freedom makes it impossible. so we move on and just learn to accept a level of human loss that other countries won't tolerate.

    this is what innovation looks like: using generative AI to do things that you absolutely could do with very little effort but won't because you're unspeakably lazy

    i've found that, in my own dealings with people who like to think of themselves as contrarians, a lot of the time they're just assholes. it's not always very deep!

    my dad called me unexpectedly this morning and when i picked up he sighed and paused. i panicked and said ‘is everything ok?’ and he responded gravely ‘well, i’ve got a real problem.’ and then proceeded to tell me he’s having trouble scanning documents with his printer 😐😐😐

    Wrote about the Musk texts. What I found illuminating about the messages is just how unimpressive, unimaginative, and sycophantic the powerful men in Musk’s contacts appear to be. Just overconfident dudes winging it
