pro tip: if your interviewer says "you can say whatever you want" right after you've agreed to something, that is literally them handing you rope to hang yourself
A helpfully clear exchange here Hasan: "So your argument is that [Minnesota ICE protesters] should stay at home because immigration is a salient issue for Donald Trump. Opposing ICE is only going to help Trump. Wait until we win the election in 2028." Yglesias: "Yes that is what I would have said"
when people ask "why do you think the economy is bad when the stock market is up" this is the kind of shit i want them to read there is next to zero safety net if you lose the job you have, which is at risk every quarter if you're ownership didn't see their revenue go up by the right amount

if you, like me, feel crazy by all this, Kayla Scanlon's piece tying the rise of gambling among (mostly) young men to the job economy organized all of this in a way that helped me process all of this kyla.substack.com/p/everyone-i...

as someone who just built a topicbot for work, it is very easy to set up guardrails (*cough meta, cough grok*) but it is much harder to make it outright lie consistently if there's not an overwhelming amount of unique content you feed it as these things are out of the box tuned by the entire web

Thought I was going crazy when I was trying to find one yesterday Is it a good beer? Not really. Is it my favorite beer? No. Do I enjoy drinking one at a Pittsburgh sporting event? I do. Do I enjoy billionaires that are not from here coming in and taking out things that are from here? I do not

remember when one of his players absolutely destroyed someone's leg in a dirty slide that derailed the pirates' seaso in a way that benefitted the cubs directly and then joe maddon joked that the injured player was out with "plantar fasciitis?" i do. i remember it.
Wonderful that certain pockets of baseball pull crusty-ass Joe Maddon out his wine cave to rant and rave about how shitty today’s game is every other month or so. Good stuff. Remind me why he doesn’t have a job again?

I could not suspend my disbelief at this plot line. There's a part-alien high school QB with the ability to perhaps destroy the entire world, despite having an apparently human life form and being raised by a loving mother. A kid like that is going to Ohio State or more likely Liberty
So … Nebraska coach Matt Rhule got a commitment from the greatest 5-star athlete of all time in the season finale of #Lanterns.

Millions of reasons why I hate this (and most of real life right now), but everyone acting like they have no free will might make me the angriest. "We can't simply make MORE money, we have no choice but to make the MOST money even if we're screwing our future selves. It's out of our hands!"

You should assume anything you put on the web is vulnerable to being deleted overnight and plan accordingly. So many companies also don't seem to realise Twitter/Facebook/Instagram are innaccessble now to people without an account. Your menu is in three pinned posts? Can't see any of them.

you guys broke watergate
Is asking someone to leave the beverages at home for an interview as fussy as reminding a lady to wear pantyhose or a gentleman to ask before lighting a cigarette? We assembled a team of Post staffers across the newsroom — and commenters — to find out: https://wapo.st/4dwx0LS
