Wow, 25 years since Joe Wood died. I often think of our visits to the Film Forum in the 90s. Great writer @jledbetter @villagevoice @kathsstewart @colsonwhitehead
Imagine a television network that might be able to push this discourse. :)

I’ve seen more posthumous posts on social media about Bill Walton these last 24 than anybody i remember. BW really has Led Zeppelined all fanatics into the Grateful Dead realm in his spirited own way. Wow 🙏🏿

Major @BigTechnology News:
Three years in, I'm launching a paid tier with deeper coverage and new features. Subscribers get:
1. The Panel: A breaking news email with expert reactions on the most pressing tech news of the moment. This collection of technologists, journalists, analysts, and VCs will share their 1-2 sentence read on big news events and I will compile their answers and send them to you.
2. Big Tech War Stories podcast: Once per month, someone deep inside a Big Tech company will join me on Big Tech War Stories to discuss how they built that product you love, or why their company never shipped it.
3. Big Tech Insider: In addition to my weekly news stories, you will receive a monthly, in-depth column from a Big Tech insider featuring original viewpoints and analysis on how they operate and the story behind what you see in public. Longtime Amazon veteran and author Kristi Coulter will take the helm for the rest of 2023.

Haley is brutally effective at filleting Vivek, but her taking him down again is a little like the Mets celebrating if they knock the Marlins out of the playoffs while they are both 1000 games behind the Braves. #GOPDebate
The idea that a balanced budget amendment actually balances budgets is one of the most enduring lies of modern Republican politics.

My 9-year-old son refused to believe me when I told him tonight that the internet didn't exist when I was his age.
