I don’t think this can be a good movie but I hope I’m wrong!
EXCLUSIVE: Netflix is developing a movie adaptation of "Hatchet," Gary Paulsen’s 1987 young adult survival novel.
• The film will be written and directed by Derek Cianfrance, best known for films such as “Blue Valentine” and “The Place Beyond the Pines.”
• Per the synopsis: “Hatchet” follows “13-year-old Brian Robeson, who is stranded alone in the Canadian wilderness after a plane crash with nothing but the hatchet his mother gave him.”
• Paulsen later expanded the story into a five-book series that included “The River” (1991), “Brian’s Winter” (1996), “Brian’s Return” (1999) and “Brian’s Hunt” (2003).

If you think someone has a vulnerable computer, and you successfully guess a password/username combo it’s at least a misdemeanor and usually a felony. In this context I’d expect them to charge the felony (under normal circumstances anyway)

I think what Musk did with DOGE was genuinely awful and more broadly I think Musk models terrible epistemic practices on this website practically every day.
But starlink internet is in fact a good product.

If you just repealed zoning in even like, five neighborhoods everything would be completely fine.

It was all fun and games when a bunch of artists rented warehouse and industrial space no one else was using to live in, but now we have fetishized the idea of “artist housing” and turned it into a special type of zoning.

The sleight-of-hand right now is the conflation of "tech companies owe Americans (all of us)" with "tech companies should hire Americans (the tweeter, who wants more money)".
Speaking as an American consumer, I want them to pay their debt to me with cheap, high-quality services.

If you're at a "lounge" at O'Hare instead of at the Chili's with a Triple Dipper and a Modelo Especial while you check your emails on your laptop you don't know ball.
You need to get the data somehow. If you’re making a crazy number of requests like this that shows up on the network. If you let the data be local you’ve already lost it

My thread on how very old ornate religious buildings were a product of stationary banditry drew a response from Ross Douthat defending specifically Catholic buildings. You can read my response here, but I want to make a broader point about where Christianity is in 2026.

There is nothing about this that is amazing. It was predicted endlessly, and those predictions were dismissed by people citing the fact that big companies opposed these measures. They opposed them because while their relative position is stronger, the pie is now smaller.

U.S. negotiators are sitting down with a regime in Iran in its weakest position in 47 years. After the severe degradation of its nuclear and war-making capabilities, it had one last card left: Hormuz. Now Gulf states and the global energy industry will accelerate efforts to reduce dependence on the strait. And over time that blackmail lever will disappear. What remains is a regime facing economic devastation and a country where 92% of Iranians despise it. The clock is ticking on its inevitable demise.
