Joking aside, I remain amazed at the speed with which extremely online people can form parasocial attachments. “I must debase myself to defend the honor of this guy I’ve never met running for office in a state where I don’t live, because about a month ago I really liked a campaign ad he cut.“

There was a post a while back, which we should cross-reference here. The gist of it was that if you are college-age and want be a GOP operative, it's steak dinners and whiskey. If you want to be in the Democratic party, you have to spend years at NGOs with the worst bosses imaginable.

“maybe this is an artifact of elon’s stewardship of this website” is a hell of a euphemism for “twitter is giving me brain damage”

("operated by SkyWest") (Feels like the combo of arrogant stupidity and tech failure Crichton would have featured)























Is he grifting the grifters or are the Golden Globes pay-to-play? Or both?

@nytimes The supertall tower at 432 Park Avenue was designed to be the jewel of New York City’s Billionaires’ Row, a stretch of luxury condos in Manhattan that has attracted the world’s wealthiest home buyers. But the building is facing serious problems — and may need a nine-figure renovation. What went wrong?

("a likely explanation for some of the building’s issues is emerging: its lauded, all-white concrete facade, insisted on by its superstar team of architects and developers....Concrete typically gets its gray tint from iron oxides in cement; altering the components can affect its strength, color and performance. Builders of 432 Park were presented with a major challenge: how to come up with a concrete mixture that met their exacting aesthetic. Companies involved with the job called it one of the most difficult concrete projects ever executed.")
