However many years into this electric vehicle era, I just don’t like it. I dont want the interior of my car to look and feel like a computer. I don’t want a digital dash, I want wood grain. All these Rivians and Lucids and Teslas look generically good but feel soulless. I may…
So many writers signing a statement claiming “among writers of conscience, there is no disagreement.” I’ve publicly criticized US support for the war in Gaza (and I’m still being called a Nazi for it), but on this, I side with @PENamerica and “the right to disagree.”
Going to be in convo with two of my favorite friends, @Ayishat_Akanbi and @JohnHMcWhorter at @diss_dialogues this May: dissidentdialogues.org

Tomorrow, "Straight Ahead: The Omni-American Podcast" is proud to feature the renowned scholar, filmmaker, and host of PBS' "Finding Your Roots," Prof. @HenryLouisGates. Tune in for an enlightening conversation with one of the most influential figures in academia and media.
Huberman not even acknowledging the New York magazine piece is the only way you could possibly deal with such a thing.

EPISODE #200 just dropped! It’s on postmodern subjectivity and “ideology without ideology”. Thank you everyone for making 200 episodes of the podcast possible. Gauging by the emails from people telling me what the podcast means to them I think together we’ve done some measure of…
“For the protesting writers, this lofty mission represents an unforgivable moral abdication…. But if they have their way and PEN America doesn’t survive, where will these authors turn when they need defending?” Read @galbeckerman on PEN America: theatlantic.com/books/archive/…
I should note that I appreciate that US writers are speaking up about Gaza, a war our country is supporting. However, I fail to see how damaging an institution like @PENamerica helps in this crisis, or in any of the many other areas where PEN does necessary work.
I’m proud to be a member of @PENamerica and I support them in staying true to their principles as a free speech organization in the face of intense pressure. If you feel the same, you should let them know, even if only in a private message.

@thomaschattwill funny that he made this point given that i took a class with him in college haha
@thomaschattwill the demands often have "and don't penalize us for late papers" at the end too
If your ideas are constantly evolving, being liked for your opinions can feel just as superficial as people wanting to be around you for your looks because you know they’re likely to change.
I keep talking myself into and then out of the idea of starting a magazine.
@thomaschattwill @mattyglesias One of the reasons is intermittently offering exorbitant discounts artificially raises the default price of a product, which is an especially salient issue in this time of high inflation

A captivating and somewhat scary short story by @kunktation in the new Granta granta.com/prairie-dogs/
Every European country has various laws on the books that are just like “productivity is illegal now” and then people wonder why they are poor.
@thomaschattwill Would love to read a column about this. It’s the app-ification of everything and the privileging of software over hardware. I’d add old Swedish cars to the list.
