A friendly reminder as Nobel season approaches, the Nobel Prizes are not real Sveriges Riksbank Prizes in Memory of Alfred Nobel.

Choosin Texas and Stella Lefty's Boston feel like they exist in a sort of cultural dark matter permeating the fabric of the zeitgeist yet entirely invisible to me. America B feels too proximate and tangible, this is like America C or D to me.
On the other site, an insurance startup that employs a lot of extremely minor E-list influencers for GTM is catching flack because one of the influencer employees called a woman a bitch and other such profanities.
He is right. Getting fired for misgendering your trans coworkers is more of a detriment to some people than the collapse of American democracy is. That is a true statement. That's how a lot of people vote lol.
Scott Lemieux@lemieuxlgm.bsky.social · 2mo agoAs silly as the whole "the right has no cultural influence" argument is, the whole edifice is indeed a depressing look into the mind of a typical American swing voter
kids today are literally confused about whether "partying" was real or an urban legend
Yeah well I would kill them in the marketplace by offering superior quality service at affordable prices
James@gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social · 2mo ago"I would kill my enemies with kindness :)" Yeah, well, I would kill mine with electronic air-burst fuzed 155mm rounds.
Wow so it's not just my product manager who falls asleep when I talk about my data science initiative and I conclude it's complicated and doesn't have a simple answer.

My level of racism against the Dutch simply cannot keep up with reality
learned what Frechet inequalities are today and I'm really mad because this Frechet guy was born in 1878. Euler and Gauss did superhuman work predating this guy's birth and this guy has a concept named after him that is so obvious that I didn't know it even had a name.
White-collar prosecutions actually are at an all-time low, so
Video games are incredibly underpriced, and the stinginess of gamers is a big reason why so much of the industry is slop and why game development is a terribly underpaid career. Adjusted for inflation, Mario World 3's MSRP of $49.99 in 1990 is equivalent to $128 today. We must retvrn.
Aaron van Dorn@aaronvandorn.bsky.social · 3mo agoBoy people really dislike the idea that videogames are underpriced.
I've been so miserable these past few months that phoebe bridgers is kinda growing on me
Feeling wonderful, roasted, and salted like a bag of pistachios.
i don't want to say that i know for sure that platner is a bad drunk but a guy who identifies as a Man of Violence and has a history of extremely bad judgment while loaded is going to have a worse story than a bad skull tattoo
Is it even possible for a Democratic politician to have both working class and elite appeal? Picture unrelated not sure how it ended up here.
Platner should drop out obviously but bigger picture I don't know how you balance out the fact that the median voter in swing states is a lumpenprole mildly racist loser who vote based on the beer question and the fact that the candidates who appeal to them are by and large also losers.
I have edited a lot of sexual-assault-accusation articles, and this one easily clears every veracity check: contemporaneous emails with her therapist, a boyfriend who knew, a woman she warned—all before Platner ran for office. Good on Politico for nailing it, and on Jenny Racicot for speaking up.
Exclusive: Woman who dated Graham Platner says he sexually assaulted her
The Maine Democrat denied the allegations and said, “Any accusation of non-consensual behavior is categorically untrue.”

One must imagine that the Declaration of Independence would have been signed electronically had the technology existed. And Nick Cage would have never been able to steal it with Docusign's enterprise grade security and encryption.
This is why I wake up in the morning. Myopic critics pan my life's work as just building some SaaS company. But how many SaaS's have been instrumental to matters of war and peace? Without Docusign, thousands more would needlessly die. At Docusign, we are literally saving lives.
Unless the Sharia law compliant S&P500 ETF also waives its rules (and hopefully the word of God is more timeless than the S&P500's index inclusion criteria), then this is one way to avoid SpaceX IPO exposure. Alhamdulillah
I'm in a strange situation at work where I've made the People Who Actually Matter quite happy but I've also kind of pissed off a couple of People Who Sort Of Matter. 🤷
TIL Ring camera "encryption" is a pretty neat lofi filter.
I feel like over the past couple months I've transitioned into a "meetings guy." Most of my day is taking meetings and preparing for upcoming meetings. I kinda hate it.
the stock market is funny because the largest global supply chain shock since a deadly worldwide pandemic is worth -0.2% but a single blog post speculating about a new technology can stone cold stunner SaaS companies -50%.
so Theophite leaves Google and then just a few months later they have a massive Gemini related security fiasco (wrt leaky project scoped API key permission boundaries) that seems to be from poor but deliberate decisionmaking with a concerning fact pattern. Coincidence?
Pinterest started recommending me Snoopy stuff because a girl I'm flirting with likes Snoopy stuff and I pull Snoopy pics from Pinterest. But today it recommended me "Snoop Dog" [sic] and I guess I can see why it did that but that's an extremely different thing.
