Rationality is the art of not pretending you don't know things.

[Steven Godofsky @sgodofsk]

@ChanaMessinger my interpretation of that was when the stakes are high enough everyone stops pretending not to know things

Feels like music preferences are less gendered than almost anything else - is that totally off?

@Turn_Trout This is so freaking cute

[Chana @ChanaMessinger]

@kevinroose @fsgbooks Hell yeah

Sixteen (count em!) hardback books are really heavy 😭

I never thought I'd need to hit the gym for my extremely cushy desk job but here we are ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@echossis The senior ops role is! Some of the other ones closed today (https://t.co/njHY7eePuq e.g.)

[Chana @ChanaMessinger]

Apologies anyone who applied for video team roles yesterday and found the job closed early! Timezone mistake on our part - we're keeping the positions open until today (Tuesday, May 26, 2026) 11pm pacific time

My favorite breakfast of late is a savory protein slop bowl: Cottage cheese, avocado, tomato (would add cucumber and/or bell peppers if I had them), chili crisp, salt, eat

What did you think "Amo Dei" meant? Vibes? Essays?

[Chana @ChanaMessinger]

I’m great at charitably disagreeing. When people tell me what charity they give to, I usually suggest they give somewhere else!

[Chana @ChanaMessinger]

@Miles_Brundage This is wild. Especially since no doubt a huge percentage of them used AI to do their work in the last four years.

How would you do it?

@majamediaco So good!

[Danny Gold @DGisSERIOUS]

Been shouting this from the rooftops. One of the most important paragraphs in the world today. For culture, media, ideology, politics etc. everyone is downstream of this.

[Chana @ChanaMessinger]

So I just have to keep putting on chapstick every day until I die?

I'm looking for an enthusiastic generalist to take a senior position on the video team and have their fingers in *lots* of pies: production, Chinese social media, running hiring rounds, etc!

If you're willing to try things you haven't done before and you learn quickly, apply!
