The solution for some reason is to select reply all instead, but that’s a dangerous muscle memory to develop!
Would love to hear a Microsoft designer explain how they decided that if you try to follow up on your own email in an email thread in Outlook, it should have you just send that email to yourself
You're absolutely right—that was not a command post, that was an elementary school. Those were not military leaders—they were schoolchildren. I said the opposite, and that's on me.
Nothing easier than making online software not exist, it's not like when they had to get all the lawn darts off the store shelves
All these companies are like "We can't just turn these chatbot services off," really, I'm old enough to remember Vine
Don't even have all that many people on my timeline and so, trust me, the guy's arm getting broken has been more than fully shared, it has achieved shared-ness and then some, zero need to keep re-sharing
North Korea and South Korea are coming up on 76 years of being at war
Saying you'd been at war with a country for 47 years is kind of the opposite of an explanation for why you decided to up and assassinate their leadership right now
One thing Yankees fans and non-fans of the Yankees can agree on is that Yankee Stadium is a terrible place to be
It's been an awful winter, but soon it'll be April! and I'll go to a baseball game and it'll be 50 and gray and damp and the wind will cut through me and I'll be shivering and miserable by the third inning and my hot chocolate will already be cold and I'll think to myself, "this sucks so much ass."
Not sure but two-thirds of the time was screwing it up while working out a procedural way to do it

Bret Stephens does know that there was once some guy called "the Shah" because he specifically advocated for his kid to take over now
Weird that some random country in the Middle East decided to come over here and pick a fight against us
Screenshot of text: First, it’s a mistake to say that Trump got America into war on Saturday. What he did was respond to a war that Iran has been waging against the United States since 1979.
Cool hey did anything happen *before* 1979 between the United States and Iran

Screenshot from a video of Victor Wembanyama, seen from behind, striding along a tunnel in Madison Square Garden and towering above everyone else in the frame. He wears a jacket and blue jeans. A superimposed caption says "OH MY" in white and "GOOD LORD" in yellow.
Close-up of previous image, showing that Wembanyama's jeans have a huge cuff at the bottom, because they are even longer than his legs.
LOL
I guess we'll...find out
Anyway his theory is it will all go fine if we just restore the Shah's family to the throne
Not sure Bret Stephens understands what the idiom "mess [sic] around and find out" means www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/o...
Cry "Havoc!" and let slop the dogs of war

David Lowery wrote a great (solo) song about his own song.
“I heard about this thing I never heard of, called ‘Face-maxing’ or ‘Look-smacking,’ something”
Nice moon tonight, just waxing solidly into gibbous, bright but covered in cloud so it looks like a smudged charcoal sketch of the moon
Yes, it is difficult to look over Larry Summers' career and find anything he didn't make a genuine debacle out of
Screenshot under the Harvard Crimson online banner of the headline "Summers To Resign From Teaching Appointments, Relinquish University Professorship Over Epstein Ties," over a file photo of a younger Larry Summers, wearing a dark suit and tie and blue shirt, facing off camera and loosely grinning while slouching sideways in a tan leather wingback chair, with a crimson-painted wall behind him.
Screenshot of a photo of a glass-banded new building standing in a raw construction field next to a huge mound of dirt, with the tiny turquoise-domed clock tower of Eliot House in the distance, with the caption "Harvard's new Enterprise Research Campus in the Boston neighborhood of Allston. Photographer: Tony Luong" over a blurb reading: Harvard's decades-long dream of transforming Boston’s Allston neighborhood into a Silicon Valley-like innovation hub has stalled. A biotech downturn and pulled federal funds have stymied the university’s property bet in the area—while nearby MIT has thrived.
It's important to consider Larry Summers' accomplishments on their own merits and not reduce him to his Epstein scandals
