💯 agree on the short-sightedness & trust erosion
Sadly, today, headlines are designed to grab attention, even at the expense of clarity
If the Traitors cast had included a bunch of middle-aged women who’d spent the last twenty years in corporate America, I promise you, they never would’ve trusted a dude like this

It’s OK to continue talking about the Epstein Files & the US men’s hockey team.
“War” might feel dramatic.
But these other two subjects affect 50% of the population—a sufficiently large interest group to merit our continued focus & attention
Go, enjoy it. It’s not like anyone can creep up on you. :) This is nature & beauty. Treat yourself to it
I’m not sure this is going to get him the votes he thinks it will…
I’m not sure this is legal. Pay & hiring/promotion processes in the military are pretty much legislated by Congress.
An expert from RAND or some similar think tank would know
(HR in the fed govt writ large & the military in particular works v differently than in the private sector)

If AI chatbots that are talking to each other very quickly created a new religion...
... that says more abt us than the machines
AI is just a prediction machine. They simply apply what they learned from human writing/interaction. So that's what they learned....

Sorry, that was Bloomberg, not WSJ
WSJ just wrote abt office workers using more voice-to-text (vs typing on keyboards)
Is it just me, or would you be unable to work in an open-plan office where everyone's talking to their computers?
I have highly sensitive hearing — I literally couldn't function

A vibrant, composite portrait of the brilliant Iranian mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani (1977–2017), the first woman and first Iranian to win the Fields Medal. She is shown in a close-up head-and-shoulders view, facing the camera with a gentle, thoughtful expression—short brown hair, bright blue eyes, and a calm smile. She wears a navy blue fleece over a teal/green collared shirt. Overlaid transparently behind and around her is a dense blackboard filled with intricate handwritten mathematical equations in white chalk, featuring complex expressions involving binomial coefficients (e.g., n! / (k!(n-k)!)), factorials, summations, powers, and terms suggestive of hypergeometric series or combinatorial identities. The equations partially surround and frame her face, symbolizing her deep immersion in advanced mathematics, particularly in hyperbolic geometry, Teichmüller theory, and dynamical systems, while evoking the creative, exploratory nature of her work as a Stanford professor and groundbreaking researcher.
Remembering Dr. Maryam Mirzakhani on #WorldCancerDay.
Dr. Mirzakhani was first woman to win the Fields Medal, the most prestigious award in #mathematics. She died in 2017 from #breastcancer at the age of 40.

Texas A&M University to end women's studies due to new policy on race and gender topics 😡👩🔬
Oh, wow
So brilliant -- makes me realize that when someone raises that question, the first response should be: why are you unable to have an opposite sex friendship?
With respect, a bunch of outlets have already figured this out: Puck, Bolts, 404, TPM, 1440
No need to reinvent the wheel
Dude, enjoy your film
(It's not 1am where I'm at. Still working on deadline. Just coming to the socs to procrastinate)
As for links, s/t they're included to expand or elaborate on a convo. If promo was the goal, wld hv been included in first response.
But srlsy, just enjoy the movie. It's gorgeous
Fair enuf
I disagree w the idea that it's an adaptation w liberties, bc most adapt's (Austen, Shakespeare...) try to remain faithful to the orig message, wh/ no Frankenstein adapt in 200 yrs has done
I'm fine w GdT doing his own art, but this is just a pet peeve of mine :) — Wrote abt this in Oct
OK as long as you know he completely upended Mary Shelley's book. GdT's version is fan fiction, rewritten to tell a story _he wanted to tell, and not the story MS orig wrote (even w the usual caveats abt condensing novel into film). Shd not be called "Frankenstein," bc it's not Frankenstein
…They do their job appropriately overseas
But they allow domestic coverage decisions to be governed by concerns other than straight journalism
It would be interesting to know what line finally got crossed with them, that they decided to start leaning into more straightforward journalism

They used to do this a lot wrt overseas reporting. In fact, they’d go at it hard when a disreputable govt appeared to be lying.
When it comes to US news, they’ve been governed by another impetus: the desire not to be seen as taking a side. (I have this from insiders)
Which means…

If someone creates a "TLDR" app for Substacks
— which would just spit out the main point(s) of each newsletter —
I'll pay $5/month to run the 30+ Substacks I subscribe to through it
so I can get a daily summary that can be wolfed down in 5 mins or less
It'd be interesting to see happened if she sued the WH for "misappropriation of likeness." It's usually used when a company uses someone's face to market their product. But she cld use the theory here, saying they used her (altered) likeness for their mrktg (propaganda) purposes w/o her permission.

The reported the teacher for gender bias, right?
And requested an audit of his grading of boys & girls?
Teachers' entrenched beliefs tend to show up in their evaluations. When they don't believe certain cohorts can do something, they tend to overlook their actual performance.
A glamorous black-and-white studio portrait of Hedy Lamarr, the legendary Austrian-born Hollywood actress and co-inventor of the frequency-hopping patent US 2,292,387. She is posed reclining slightly in an elegant chair, gazing upwards with a poised, captivating expression—softly lit to accentuate her striking features, including large expressive eyes with dramatic makeup, perfectly arched eyebrows, full lips, and flawless skin. Her dark, voluminous wavy hair is styled in soft Hollywood waves framing her face. She wears a polka-dot blouse or dress with a sheer overlay, adorned with a multi-strand pearl choker necklace and pearl earrings, evoking classic 1940s Golden Age glamour and sophistication.
Black-and-white technical drawing from U.S. Patent No. 2,292,387, titled "Secret Communication System," granted on August 11, 1942, to inventors Hedy Kiesler Markey (Hedy Lamarr) and George Antheil. This is Sheet 1 of the patent figures, showing a schematic diagram of the frequency-hopping invention (a precursor to modern spread-spectrum technology used in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS). Key labeled components include: a variable frequency carrier oscillator (with piano-key-like switches 31a–31h connected to a notched paper roll mechanism for synchronization), two oscillators (100kc and 500kc), a modulator, an amplifier, an antenna (23), a ground connection, and a piano-roll reader (with reels 37–41 and motor drive). The diagram illustrates how synchronized frequency changes between transmitter and receiver enable secure, jam-resistant radio communication, such as for torpedo guidance during World War II. Handwritten-style annotations and figure labels (e.g., Fig. 1) are visible, with the patent header noting the filing date of June 10, 1941.
Hedy Lamarr died #OTD in 2000 at 85.
In the 1940s, in an attempt to help the war effort, she quietly invented what would become the precursor to many wireless technologies we use today including Bluetooth, GPS, cellphone networks & more: frequency hopping. #WomenInSTEM
Fly to Duluth or Des Moines, and drive from there. Cars will probably be cheaper too.
