I find this new @stephenwitt piece to be very clear and very terrifying

Remember to treat your body like a data center.
Consume as much literature and water as possible.

I'm so freakin sick of how Claude talks.
It's not just annoying, it's infuriating.
The honest evaluation: it's the precise mechanism driving my current headache.
It's the load-bearing root cause of my daily stress.
It's genuinely painful, and that matters.

in retrospect, publishers weren't wrong in pivoting to video, they were just too early

The preliminary U.S.-Iran deal, which was read to reporters by a U.S. official on Wednesday, appears to create a process for opening the Strait of Hormuz in the short run. It also lays out a 60-day timetable to address many issues that remain, including the details for constraining Iran’s nuclear ambitions, as well as the scope of sanctions relief and financial support for Iran.
"Needless to say, there are a lot of details to be negotiated and, if the past is prologue, good reasons to be skeptical that a comprehensive peace, even if reached, will hold," writes CFR President @MikeFroman. "Nonetheless, this could be seen as breaking a deadlock that has threatened the global economy, even if it puts on the table issues we may later come to regret."
"Running large organizations is a skill; running large organizations filled with journalists is life on hard mode." @bmorrissey is so good

President Donald Trump arrived in Beijing for a highly anticipated summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping this week.
I was one of the few Americans in the room in Sunnylands, when former President Barack Obama and Xi rolled up their sleeves in June 2013. It was a rare moment for a real, substantive, and fairly unscripted conversation about some of the most significant issues in the relationship. Most summits are long on formalities and short on substance.
So, what will Trump actually leave the summit with?

the fyp ate the follower and changed the way marketing works. brands used to have to grow a following for their content to be seen. now recommendation-based feeds do the work for them. when posting feels like a slot machine, of course brands will pull as many levers as possible.
