I love how heavily @SpaceX leaned into photography in their S-1. The first 15 pages are all pictures, many of which have no explanation at all.

It just makes you... feel.

I put a prompt injection into my LinkedIn bio and recruiters are messaging me in Old English and calling me Lord.

You idiots who think Trump is staging assassination attempts. You think he would agree to a plan wherein someone STOPS HIM FROM TROLLING A CAPTIVE ROOM OF THOUSANDS OF JOURNALISTS FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF? This is his dream scenario.

I don’t even understand how this is legal.

The attempts on Sam Altman’s life were not a one (or two)-off phenomena, but a new cultural norm. I have been warning you about this shit for six years. We have a serious problem. All of your lives are at risk. https://t.co/JOEgsmY7Zv

If the externalities caused by Apple abandoning the headphone jack were accurately priced and the company was made to pay, it would be bankrupted overnight

A cry of despair from The Times art critic. The V&A asks us to look at how a plague pomander gives “wearers a sense of agency”.

This is insane
