If nothing else, Rogan is frequently a measure of where public sentiment is at for precisely the reason he mentions in this clip (he seems particularly susceptible to whatever is trending online)

Another example of the uselessness of vast wealth. Did Trump need a $55 million birthday party with jets and tanks and fancy costumes? A piñata and some beer maybe a screening of Patton would have been more appropriate.

"The wild card in this conflict is that the United States, Israel’s superpower ally, is for now standing on the sidelines," David Ignatius writes. "Rarely has a U.S. secretary of state made such a cold-blooded statement of nonalignment as Marco Rubio’s in the opening hours of the attack."

"Robert F. Kennedy Jr. this week put to rest any doubt about his intent to use his perch as health and human services secretary to advance his long-standing anti-vaccine agenda." The latest from Dr. Leana S. Wen:

here's a question. I have an Amazon wishlist for my work. Basically it's got podcasting kit and good phones (my video cameras) on it at present. What I wanna know is: what are things to *add* to it? Suggestions please! www.amazon.co.uk/hz/wishlist/... think: AI stuff, finance stuff

For now, writing "no AI resurrections" into a will remains a complicated process.

One last cry before I zoot: I lost faith in people after Trump won. But bargaining this union contract, I’ve witnessed how good people can be when we fight for each other. My Verge and @voxmediaunion.bsky.social colleagues have restored my faith in ppl. I am forever grateful to them for that.

typically fantastic reporting here from Kerry

The quantified effect of contract bargaining for @voxmediaunion.bsky.social on the body. I have a 26-hour sleep debt right now for the week. It was so fucking worth it. Ok I’m gonna try and take some melatonin to cancel out the adrenaline now tho thx bye 👋🏼

A number of SaaS vendors are trying to become search aggregators, drinking the firehose of all information in your apps in order to build a central index. Glean, Atlassian Rovo, Dropbox Dash, etc. Today, Slack cut them off: www.computerworld.com/article/4005... 1/3

"Trump has made no secret of his admiration for dictators, kings and tyrants, whose worshipful minions he has praised with envy," Kathleen Parker writes. wapo.st/3SSXNr4

goddamn this week has taken it out of me

"Throughout the 2024 campaign, Trump played shamelessly on public anxieties about the border. Some of his arguments, such as claims that hungry migrants were eating pets, were grotesque," David Ignatius writes. "But Biden and Kamala Harris didn’t have good answers, other than indignation."

Watching the NYC mayoral debate from last night this morning and ... in addition to all the other major problems with him, it is obvious Cuomo doesn't even LIKE New York City.

Is Bluesky kind of a bubble? Yes. Is X *very much* a bubble? Oh hell yes. Is -- wait for it -- LinkedIn? To a degree that would blow your mind, if you spent enough time there. There never has been a single online "town square" -- they all drift toward certain norms.

"After my mother died, following my father by 15 years, I began to wonder: Might there have been some truth to what my father said? Was there a connection between my family’s history of legal feuding and Dickens? With time on my hands, I turned detective." The latest from James Thellusson:
