“Be cool”

Don't blame me I just voted for [crypto, tax cuts, deregulation, insert insignificant personal policy preference] not the destruction of the institutions and order that provided the stability and opportunity for me to succeed

A TikTok that captures our national anomie and restlessness (as well as our lost Chapstick)...this is cinema

Can we...just accept that we suck at this? I want to tell you a story that has made me kinda hopeless about Twitter's ability to affect positive things happening, and it starts with this tweet from Hillary Clinton. x.com/HillaryClinton/status/…

Just hearing that the brilliant Joe Flaherty has passed away. One thing you can say about Joe is that he brought something different to any cast he was in. Harold Weir on Freaks and Geeks is also an all time sitcom Dad.

Tell us how you REALLY feel. (This is a great read)

This video from @TaylorLorenz about the potential collapse of journalism is deeply important. Especially over the past 48 hours “I don’t think people understand how bad the world would be without journalists” “I don’t want to live in a world where all of the news is delivered through 60-second videos with retention editing” “The rise of citizen journalism on apps like TikTok and elsewhere has overwhelmingly been a positive thing. … but there’s a ton of really talented journalists that are also just not great social media people” “Some journalists do really deep investigations or local reporting or sit through hour-long city council meetings to hold some local politician to account… and that’s really important work. And it’s work that somebody should pay for and it’s work that’s not rewarded by these social media algorithms” “It’s really hard to amass a subscriber base and then maintain that subscriber base over time when you’re doing investigative work. And that’s if you don’t get sued out of existence after you publish the first critical story of a billionaire” “Journalism is something a lot of people won’t realize they miss until it’s gone”

Hear me out: what if the plot of "True Detective: North Country" was real.....and in Kansas...?!? theguardian.com/us-news/2024…

Twice today, I’ve had ads display in my X/Twitter feed without any indication or labeling that they’re ads. Is X testing a new format…?

This is hilarious— Cruise & GM are essentially asking regulators “let’s agree to call this a whoopsie”. GM generates $429M in revenue *per day*. They’re asking for a subatomic settlement.

This is an excellent read about the CFPB’s impending open banking rule and how it may impact various parts of the fintech & financial services market.
