Pre AI I would’ve told you that Taylor Lorenz was a necessary evil because her bad takes were annoying at worst, and her good takes were profound. Her interview of Chaya Rachik was incredible. Post AI, those good takes are at the very least muddied.
Taylor Lorenz listed out all the generative AI apps she uses for Substack, including Elon Musk’s Grok, and is shocked her followers are mad.
She wants to have it both ways: to present herself as critical and progressive while still getting to take the same immoral actions as people who don’t.

Enron was viewed as the world’s most innovative company and the number one most prestigious place to work like 3 days before its hidden debt became public & the fallout caused it to disappear within a year while taking down Arthur Anderson, one of the largest accounting firms in the world.

It took conservatives a Koch-funded, faux grassroots Tea Party movement and a full decade to shift the Overton window as far right as it is now. Incredible watching Mamdani single handedly pull it back left less than a year after taking office.

Nuance is dead but it’s frustrating that Platner’s red flags were ignored but also people can grow but also saying saying “told you so” is weird and dismiss the victim but also Platner needed to drop out but also I’m mad that similar accusations against Republicans aren’t reliably career ending.

Watching progressives rally behind Platner red flag after red flag has been a bit frustrating, especially seeing how a lot of those same progressives hold candidates of color to a much higher standard.

Dolan is a moron who was born into wealth and used his father’s success to launch a failed business career. There is a reason he loves Trump.
James Dolan invited his friend Donald Trump to watch Game 3. In order to do that, they have to ban the organic, historically joyous parties happening outside MSG for fans who can't afford to be inside. Modern sports in a nutshell
Sports owners are using tech to build private surveillance states — while taking public money.
Which means that Knicks owner James Dolan is the future.
In a new collaboration with @wired.com, we go inside how MSG secretly watches fans, surveils kids, tracks players… youtu.be/yNZ3hJPN5Vc?...

I don’t know if Talarico can end a 40 year dem dry spell in Texas, but I do know that the GOP will have to divert more funds into the race now, I do know that Coryn will prolly “grow a spine” in spite Trump endorsing Paxton, and I do know that my tits are humongous.

Boarding a sold out plane and putting your small personal item (that would easily fit under the seat in front of you) in the overhead bin and just sitting there while other passengers frantically look for space for their roller bags makes you a sociopath I think.

If your name is Grant and you were at Tracks in Denver last night, the “fake” number you keep giving to guys is actually my number & it would be very kind if you stopped doing that! Be brave! Tell the guys ur not into them! Lie about being straight actually! Spin a yarn! Literally anything else.

Hi prolly a cheesy question but what do gay people do to make friends in NYC? Have only been here two months and love it but is there anything like kickball or some social league that is universally understood to be some great social mixer?

Elizabeth Warren did not secretly trade Spirit Airline stock. She is one of the leading voices in congress trying to ban congressional reps from trading private stock and doesn’t engage in it herself. Stop getting your news from memes.

I just don’t understand how we fix this. Half the country lives in an alternative reality built for them by a media ecosystem owned by far right billionaires and promoted by the dumbest right wing grifters on TikTok and YouTube. Half the country can’t read! Their hate is manufactured, but it is real
