@CopaExMachina I think you missed the point of the scene (I did too at first). He’s not justifying himself to Lex. He’s begging Lex to rediscover his humanity—the ability to learn from your mistakes— for the sake of the world.

@mbateman I asked it two more times, and it gave me Toby Ziegler and Ted lasso. So…

[Randal Vegter @RandalVegter]

@mbateman I got Logan Roy, which…I guess I can see but I think no one would ever ever ever say about me?

[Randal Vegter @RandalVegter]

@mbateman Claude in all respects is such a leap forward for getting things done properly. Not sure if it’s as simple as this, but it feels like being product focused vs engineering focused.

[Randal Vegter @RandalVegter]

@BenBayer @elanjourno I agree with your premise that Iran is evil and that the best case scenarios would be excellent. I’m just not optimistic about this administration’s ability. Trying to figure if that’s fine and worst case is still better than nothing. Maybe because of capacity degradation?

[Randal Vegter @RandalVegter]

@BenBayer @elanjourno Good episode. Assuming a quagmire, failed state, or that this ends up a “lawn mowing” exercise, would you think this action was a net positive?

[Randal Vegter @RandalVegter]

@mbateman You have a beard now?!? Works for you.

[Randal Vegter @RandalVegter]

@mbateman Actually I may take a digression before 1776 into theater, now that I know how much everyone was LARPing Cato.

[Randal Vegter @RandalVegter]

@mbateman I don’t know anything about DH. As far as I was concerned, the Battle of Long Island was the start. A big victory before that goes a long way toward explaining why everyone didn’t just give up before Trenton.

@Gena_I_Gorlin Our girls as well. So funny what they decided to learn. Lucy on Dutch and Hazel on Hebrew, in addition to both on Mandarin and music. They’re very proud of their streaks.

@mbateman Disinterestedness and Rome are the most recontextualizing to me so far.

[Randal Vegter @RandalVegter]

@mbateman Really enjoying IoA. 1776 next

[Randal Vegter @RandalVegter]

@mbateman I for one would greatly enjoy a real time +250 years account of the philosophic development of 1776.

@yaronbrook Yaron, this episode has given me a lot to think about, however I think you’re missing context. The Venezuela action has to be seen in context of Trump’s ambitions regarding the Western Hemisphere, especially Greenland, Canada, Mexico, Cuba.

@mbateman @dontsaytheodds From what I know, SDNY is authentically independent. But making it a trial instead of naming it as military action is a sham.

[Randal Vegter @RandalVegter]

@mbateman It’s critical to their stated rationale. This is not war: It’s an arrest protected by the military.

The whole thing is incoherent, but the trial is the fig leaf holding it together.

[Randal Vegter @RandalVegter]

@mbateman They’re people. Truly my buddies I hang out with now.

[Randal Vegter @RandalVegter]

@mbateman Ugh, virality potential

[Randal Vegter @RandalVegter]

@mbateman It’s good and songs are bangers as everyone said but also:
-Musicals have super high vitality potential, especially for this demo.
-The demo had little else this summer. No competition.
-It was on no one’s radar. Discovery potential.
