(I had nothing but good things to say about The Prime Rib even before I won a few bucks playing blackjack after dinner. That didn’t hurt though.)

All the best steakhouses in Philly are within the few blocks between Rittenhouse and Broad Street. Except, it turns out, one: The Prime Rib inside @LiveCasinoPHL. Great decor, great service, unbelievably good prime rib. I blew it by waiting a few years before trying it.

Thank you @daringfireball for this amusing new term 😂

@usgraphics It's better that it works the way that it does, but it's a far more confusing design.

@NoTechBen Must be weird playing your postseason games in May.

One of the mistakes people make about Silicon Valley history is that Steve Jobs was never CEO during his first stint at the company. (Fun segment on the latest https://t.co/o9KVb6yiBk episode.)

There is nothing about this that is amazing. It was predicted endlessly, and those predictions were dismissed by people citing the fact that big companies opposed these measures. They opposed them because while their relative position is stronger, the pie is now smaller.

@paulg @tenobrus @KatieMiller Your engagement here on the New Yorker story has been edifying. But one thing that’s unclear to me, and seems beyond my ken to uncover, is whether YC owns a stake in OpenAI. My presumption is yes, given that YC funded OpenAI at its inception, when it was called YC Research. True?

@varunram @AmeliaBarty This is what happens when a problem reaches its breaking point.

It was a giant horse, and Trump had it wheeled into the Pentagon.

Trump on Iranian leaders: "They're gonna make a deal. They did something yesterday that was amazing actually. They gave us a present, and the present arrived today. It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money. I'm not gonna tell you what that present is but it was very significant prize."

[Tulsi Gabbard 🌺 @TulsiGabbard]

“We do not seek regime change” Trump declares as he escalates his regime change war against Iran. Neocons like Graham/Bolton are cheering. To all who voted for Trump bc of his antiwar rhetoric, it’s time to realize he lied to u. Stand with me against Trump’s Iran War! #TrumpsWar

@samhenrigold Such a great piece. Every word.

When America sends missiles and tanks into a sovereign country, is it war?

You might be surprised by the answer...
