You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.
Also, Sulzberger really needs to take the ego down a notch or two. Not doing an interview with the Times isn't even in the top 1000 indications somebody is not fit to be dog catcher, let alone president
NYT opinion writers strike again!
‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect
You know we're living in tough times when even UFO whistleblowers can't trust each other
Lots about our favorite microwave weapon, @dvergano.

According to my calculations, I've been working 43 years. That seems like enough. Today is the first day of my retirement. I'll still be writing, but also working on other projects, such raising bees, magnet fishing, and generally being the neighborhood eccentric.
as a journalist in the audience engagement space who has been co-owner of a niche but beloved multiplayer game as a hobby for 15 years, I'm ready to ride these weird industry vibes

We don't talk about it but every journalist desperately wants this martyrdom. If a reporter is trying to get you to confide in them and says they would go to jail to protect their sources they are 1) probably telling the truth, because 2) they secretly want it to happen.
My greatest dream in life is to get arrested for something like this so that I could instantly be turned into a first amendment free press hero
Thank you.
@marcuschown @FaberBooks @FelicityBryan Your books and those of Carlo Rovelli are helping me be slightly less baffled by quantum physics. It’s still weird and contradictory &, like many physicists, I’ll never understand it, but your writing at least makes it accessible to a simple mind. It fascinates me.
Reunited and it feels so good! Such a delightful surprise to run into Tiller today.
@christiandean_ @BadMuthaHubbard So he won a game of poker by losing a bunch of money. Masterful gambit sir

@dvergano I don't think that it's the *best-case* scenario, not at all. But *if* the Perplexity-type AI model becomes the default for search engines, for instance, then AI companies would (theoretically?) have incentive to pay for high-quality vetted info to feed into models.
