Y2K got a pretty great review in @nytimesbooks. Thanks @AlexandraJacobs; you helped me fulfill a dream I’ve had since I was a Y2K era kid reading the NYT with my dad, the environmentalist engineer 💿🤍👽🫧 https://t.co/6OHTBEMxXJ

Investing in the dot-com bubble like a mother fckr 😎 Let's have a look at $CSCO SP with one of those Bloomberg terminals....

@HannSawyerr At noon on 9/14, we've got Rax King in conversation with @MsShade:

When milennials graduated into unemployment, it was during a systemic crisis that battered everyone. It made milennials more left-wing and, in general, skeptical of capitalism, and that's been a durable effect. Gen Z is graduating into unemployment, too, but the crisis is limited

When I was a young man, and Barack Obama was president, you could log online every day and visit so many websites that published voicey and intelligent work of reasonable length, on a variety of interesting subjects, by dozens of early-to-mid-career writers. Today, not so much

Once again, I’m barely posting here, and I encourage you to follow me over there. Thanks!

Third, a 0.15% increase in short term mortality is probably much less than ongoing mortality from poor working conditions for nurses & PCAs. It matters, and it’s more of a reason for hospitals to negotiate in good faith and not let their nurses strike. Striking is a last resort.

I’m barely here. Follow me on the blue place.

Thinking of this phenomenal woman and her courage today. Love to you, Cassie

Where's my dog today? Thanks for asking. He's out taking a meeting with the NYC Parks Department in his official capacity as Dog Mayor. I am not in attendance.

Herstory

Zohran Mamdani was asked in 2002 by New York Magazine, along with other NYC kids, about what they wanted for the Winter holidays, to which Zohran, age 11, answered with a request for books + FIFA 2003 & SimCity 3000 for PC

The Zohran campaign is a case study in how we must convey our ideas in a persuasive, appealing way that resonates with people’s commonsense experience of reality so our ideas then become the prevailing ideas of our time. Sounds obvious. Yet not always how people do left politics.

"If any president says 'America first', there will be conflict somewhere—if not domestically, then outside of America's borders—because you can't say that and not assert 'America first'." Me to @MsShade on Teen People podcast; studying the Y2K era through Teen People magazine

Antisemitism means treating Jews unequally. There's zero evidence that @ZohranKMamdani opposes giving Jews equal rights--either in the US or Israel-Palestine--and mountains of evidence that his critics oppose equality for Palestinians. When will they have to answer for that?

"She dreamed of seeing Coldplay live. She loved trying new foods and was learning Italian. She wrote poetry constantly and shared it w/ friends. She was so proud of having summited Iran’s highest peak, Mount Damavand, that she made sure to mention that fact to everyone she met."

California in the 1960s...a famously conflict and protest-free place

unfort this went platinum at my williamsburg apartment in 2018 😔

This is how I feel. And to me, what is the meaning of life without it?

Rest in peace, Jonathan Joss
