Gyro from South Side Fish & Chicken on Gravois. Overall pretty mid, meat was disappointing and the only thing that stood out was the pretty good tzatziki. 3/5

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

In the 80s we had "Greed Is Good," but today it's much subtler--self-interest is simply the only valid decision-making lens. "Let's not go to Chik-Fil-A, I don't like their food" is respected, but "Let's not go to Chik-Fil-A, I don't want to support a homophobic company" makes you a tedious scold.

There's a subtext in some modern discourse that selfishness is smart and strong but it's weak and not smart. It's actually not good for the rich to destroy the planet even if they think it puts them ahead in the short term.

The two children who returned to MN today say they saw one of their Valley View schoolmates at a detention center in TX. This is a child whose family was last in contact with the school on January 9. No one has known where they were until now.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Ooooh is your internet broken. Did someone's immaterial web of financial speculation and surveillance turn out to have a failure point in material infrastructure

I'm not saying I spent 20 years fucking around on the internet and 10 years studying Protestant iconoclasm in grad school to ultimately arrive at the position of "we should use the tools of iconoclasm to destroy the internet" but I'm not NOT saying that
