Since the Dow is at 47,500 are we allowed to talk about Epstein now?

Yes. And we have to talk about this now, because talking about it is the first step to making it seem like a callous crime rather than a surprising emergency.

We are currently outside the ICE Broadview concentration camp where Sunny Naqvi’s family believes her to be held after being detained in O’Hare by federal authorities.

When Dorsey sat still on a hard floor for 60 minutes by choice, and then tried to brosplain how others should overcome chronic pain, I realized there was probably never much in there.

I think it’s OK to hate cats, but Oscar-courting movie actors should NOT put down the opera & also, Justice for Daryl Hannah! <trying to weigh in on the discourse efficiently>

Yes exactly.

It’s pretty gross how much FUN Hegseth is having, radiating sweaty, boyish glee in every interview

Waiting for the administration to say the spike in gas prices isn't actually a big deal because so many Americans are losing their jobs and won't have to drive to work anymore.

If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.

What pisses me off more than I'd like to admit is that Hegseth is too stupid/drunk/both to realize just how pathetic and weak he sounds when he thinks he's being cool and badass. It's not fair. There should be like a drug we could give him to make him self-aware and cringe until he shits himself.

Claude Code wiped our production database with a Terraform command.
It took down the DataTalksClub course platform and 2.5 years of submissions: homework, projects, and leaderboards.
Automated snapshots were gone too.
In the newsletter, I wrote the full timeline + what I changed so this doesn't happen again.
If you use Terraform (or let agents touch infra), this is a good story for you to read.

Back in my day you needed a senior engineer for this sort of thing

On the plus side, with all this evidence the war crimes trials should be short.

I'm sure it will be fine, and you will look so dapper afterwards.

We have the data. My longest columns have more readers, who read longer, and who share them the most.

I’m concerned that Tuvok, a cat who has spent the last 5 years never meowing, has found his voice only to pester me for treats

Worth watching the whole clip, but purely in propaganda terms it seems to me, admittedly just an amateur observer when it comes to war fighting, that it may be useful to send the message to the 91+ million Iranian civilians that we are not trying to kill them.

There is literally no way to find a real life fox that attractive and that’s sort of the dealbreaker for folks, most real life foxes just want to eat chickens and not be sexy

Black and white photo of four kittens spilling out of a basket that seems to be partially full of sticks or vines or something. They’re all short haired, and there is a black haired tuxedo, two tabbies, and what looks like a white and calico. Two of them look remarkably grumpy, and the other two seemed kind of blank and possibly confused.

Historians agree that the real Pandora’s Box was likely a basket of grumpy kittens. Postcard from my collection, mailed 1904.

Tour β€” the Mountain Goats

so, the Carnegie Hall presale went kinda bonkers and they said "you guys wanna add a night 2?" which I am still getting my head around this being my life, but it's what happened, so we did. The Mountain Goats have added a second show at Carnegie Hall. Tickets here.
