For @thedrift_mag, I looked into what the hell is going on with medical technology as we move from a world of selective clinical uses (pacemakers, etc.) to one where everybody's trying to outrun death and Elon Musk wants to put a smartwatch in your head.

Completely anecdotal, but: the people who I've seen consistently canvassing for Zohran, handing out literature by the subway every morning, and engaging with neighbors on the issues for the past six months are all over 50.

I signed this along with many actual artists and brilliant, committed writers whose work is inextricable from their moral clarity. If you've written for or been covered by the Times in the past, I hope you'll read the letter and join.

NEW: 300+ writers, scholars and public figures – including almost 150 past New York Times contributors – have committed to refusing to write for the paper’s Opinion section until our the paper 1) addresses it's anti-Palestinian bias, 2) retracts the widely debunked investigation

Today I will be meditating on all the strange and wonderful implications of the sentence "Every parade has the right to exist in New York City."

Getting on the computer to yell at people for fare evading:

Repeating to myself like a mantra: "My gut is never wrong. My gut has never failed; it can only be failed."

RFK is not a real ball knower. The first thing any cardiologist says to you is, "You're fat. Have you heard of zoodles?"

Article idea: evil rich guys who use their money and position to make people listen to them play dogshit music in their free time. Huckabee, Blinken, Milei, James Dolan, the Goldman Sachs guy.

I've never known what SEC referred to in a collegiate context. I just assumed they were schools whose alumni were most likely to commit securities fraud.

I'm with Benioff on sending troops into SF, but for a completely different reason.

Never ask a staff writer complaining about the salaries at a different magazine what their employer allows them to say about Israel.
