Devils on horseback! Bacon-wrapped dates = unmatched savory/sweet umami goodness on the table.
Bonus hack: if you’ve got pitted dates, a standard drinking straw makes a perfectly good emergency pitter.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
Really they’re all just disappointed in Horizons. Killer idea, killer execution, just not enough money lit aflame

@rollovereasy.org Marcia is awesome! You three on the show together reminds me of a great delight—and an enduring mystery—of the aughts in SF: What happened to the Burrito Eater (burritoeater.com)?
Excited to introduce Vibes from Meta. Eat your slop, piggies!
Why are these demos always so fucking lame, even if they did work? “Read a recipe”, “shop for groceries”, “what’s on TV”.
Boring, solved problems.

Eric, Sounds in the Dark is an absolute treasure - and always a “must listen”. Congrats and thanks for all the awesome shows, I’ve discovered so much great stuff thanks to BFF - and you!

There is no such thing as liberalism — or progressivism, etc. There is only conservatism. No other political philosophy actually exists; by the political analogue of Gresham’s Law, conservatism has driven every other idea out of circulation. There might be, and should be, anti-conservatism; but it does not yet exist. What would it be? In order to answer that question, it is necessary and sufficient to characterize conservatism. Fortunately, this can be done very concisely. Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protectes but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect. There is nothing more or else to it, and there never has been, in any place or time. For millenia, conservatism had no name, because no other model of polity had ever been proposed. “The king can do no wrong.” In practice, this immunity was always extended to the king’s friends, however fungible a group they might have been. Today, we still have the king’s friends even where there is no king (dictator, etc.). Another way to look at this is that the king is a faction, rather than an individual. As the core proposition of conservatism is indefensible if stated baldly, it has always been surrounded by an elaborate backwash of pseudophilosophy, amounting over time to millions of pages. All such is axiomatically dishonest and undeserving of serious scrutiny. Today, the accelerating de-education of humanity has reached a point where the market for pseudophilosophy is vanishing; it is, as The Kids Say These Days, tl;dr . All that is left is the core proposition itself — backed up, no longer by misdirection and sophistry, but by violence.
So this tells us what anti-conservatism must be: the proposition that the law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone, and cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone. Then the appearance arises that the task is to map “liberalism”, or “progressivism”, or “socialism”, or whateverthefuckkindofstupidnoise-ism, onto the core proposition of anti-conservatism. No, it a’n’t. The task is to throw all those things on the exact same burn pile as the collected works of all the apologists for conservatism, and start fresh. The core proposition of anti-conservatism requires no supplementation and no exegesis. It is as sufficient as it is necessary. What you see is what you get: The law cannot protect anyone unless it binds everyone; and it cannot bind anyone unless it protects everyone.
I think it's now possible to make a poli-sci course that equips one for modern political analysis better than most classic theory and has a syllabus sourced entirely from random internet posts.

@hbomax With the return of the iconic HBO name the updated logo positions the HBO brand prominently, ensuring it is the primary visual read with emphasis on the iconic core, which is embedded in the counter of the "O." This deliberate hierarchy reinforces that the platform's core value proposition remains anchored in HBO's legacy and reputation for excellence. The "Max" portion of the logo complements this hierarchy in various technical ways. The "Max" mark has been carefully adjusted to a lighter stroke weight compared to its previous iteration. Moreover, the characteristic of the counter "core," previously embedded within the letter "a" of "Max," has been intentionally omitted. This nuanced adjustment respects the visual ownership of the core form as a distinct hallmark of the HBO logo, maintaining clarity and brand integrity. The "m"'s stems and shoulders were slightly modified while maintaining the balance of the aperture of the letterform. The "a" was completely hand-drawn, with the counter space slightly adjusted toward the stem to give the bowl form and character. The "x"'s diagonal strokes, slightly bowed and tapered to the center axis, creates a flared nuance. Additionally, the width of "Max" has been subtly reduced relative to "HBO," with the overhang of the “O" letterform visually balancing and aligning with the "x," a calculated choice. Overall, the kerning was meticulously calibrated to balance the open spaces between and within the letterforms to ensure a quick read. To further distinguish the brand within the streaming market, the logo identity features a carefully crafted iridescent treatment; subtle warm and cool tones add depth and perpetual motion. This distinctive visual effect metaphorically embodies the platform's extensive range of content - constantly evolving, vibrant, and multidimensional. This creative approach ensures the brand remains visually distinctive, resonating strongly within the competitive landscape of streaming services.

Currently my most important cursor rule.
Astonishing! I wonder, were the hiring managers just not looking?
At a startup especially at the stage where every hire is huge, I’m sure I’d be watching a new hire’s LinkedIn zealously, waiting for the “coming out” that they’ve chosen our team.
Another commenter said an overemployed just listed them all concurrently, which.. wow!
Yeah, for full remote places, what they did was “hey you’ll spend a week in <staff engineer’s big city>” & rented a WeWork.
With LinkedIn: which job do you list as your current employer when overemployed? Had one guy come on board and never updated his, which always triggered suspicion..
Full week onsite with a buddy/mentor in first 30 days as part of onboarding. Worked with a shop that did this & had plenty of other benefits. Could make it a quarterly thing too.
(Also, have never understood: wtf do these people do about LinkedIn?)
Holy shit, Nathan Fielder for FAA chief, let’s gooo!
