There used to a be website, StumbleUpon, based around the idea of randomly stumbling upon cool websites
back in Old Times, you could browse cool websites for hours. These were websites not built around monetization. They were built to be explored and rewarded curiosity. So few of them exist today but if you have any you love, please drop them in the replies!

Twitter will tell you that this mindset is ruining baseball
Andrew Friedman said that the Dodgers aggressiveness in free agency is not about a potential future salary cap, but that it's driven by an "extremely driven group of of players who want to take care of their legacy and create a dynasty." They know they have a special core.

Are we talking about filling vacancies in understaffed government agencies like NYC's Department of Social Services? Creating New Deal-style projects to address crumbling infrastructure? No! It's strengthening the military industrial tech complex!

Basically
It's not surprising to me that Kirk's next book was supposed to be about Jewish-style Sabbath observance. It's the next logical step: the Christian is in fact more Jewish than "the un-Jew," and therefore deserves the blessings of Zionism and Israel that the un-Jew has forskaen

Important & fascinating thread on how early Zionist pioneers saw themselves as colonists and how Weitzman even compared the Jewish Agency, which managed land purchases, to the East India Company
Is Zionism colonial or anti-colonial? This propagandist ignores what Zionist leaders declared repeatedly throughout the history of Zionism. Here are some examples of statements foregrounding the colonial nature of Zionism: 1/10

In the final episode, the Duffer Brothers feature a song that has never appeared in any show or movie, as its creators had never allowed it to be used — until now. Any guesses what it might be? 🎵

Had just moved to New York, got a job at The Strand, got fucked up in a Fucked Up pit. Fun fact: that's my blood!
Apparently there is now a Gen Z TikTok trend where they are romanticizing being a millennial in 2012

every public sycophant and world loser seems to love AI, majority of artists and other cultural figures with a modicum of intelligence is against it. it’s impossible to say who’s right
Ethan Hawke tells @thattracysmith that he’s “bored by AI,” saying he prefers real human connection. He calls AI a “plagiarizing mechanism” and jokes that while he knows it’s changing the world, he’s in “open rebellion” against it. https://t.co/LZ9EYLReGr
