Okay, sort of into the editors at the New York verticals deciding this week is the week they'll run nonstop coverage on how dreadful influencers are.

"A face for print" took me out.

Perfect, no notes: www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/a-f...

Maybe some series are best as limited runs & certainly some series need never have multiple seasons. But this one was so different, I liked the idea of seeing where they'd go in s2.

The buddy rapport! The excitement of being seen by someone who is a peer!

The impact on the LinkedIn Lunatics subreddit cannot be understated: www.404media.co/linkedin-int...

This is hogwash.

(seriously: huge fan of your work, I cackled in delight when I realized what you were doing in the bank, and this story is going to stick for a while)

OK but can you write the lesbian roadtrip sequel where these two drive across America following the moonpath

Hard agree. Love a rotisserie chicken. I still love a food blog with a single focus. This one has been going forever and it's amazing: burgershereandthere.com/2011/01/03/h...

I can't remember the blog but I do recall the kerfluffle when some food blogger was all, "I just don't know why people don't roast a chicken, it's super-easy" and then people had to explain to her how office jobs and commutes worked. There's a reason Rachel Ray broke out with her 30-minute meals!

This interview with Bowen addresses how the myths around home cooking are harmful to Americans. Note that the interview is from 2019, so no mention of "also, our government no longer regulates food safety, so that's a fun new wrinkle in home cooking!!!" chass.ncsu.edu/news/2019/03...

The issue is not that Americans simply don't like to cook, as Sarah Bowen, Joslyn Brenton and Sinikka Elliott write in "Pressure Cooker: Why Home Cooking Won't Solve Our Problems and What We Can Do about It" bookshop.org/p/books/pres...

As someone who lived through the Michael Pollen/ Mark Bittner "America is fat because women are no longer cooking dinner for their families" moment of the 2000s, SO GLAD to see we're reviving the premise that Americans' real food issue is that they don't cook. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Can someone point me to the no-doubt-already-written thinkpieces about how podcasts and livestreams are so popular because they fulfill the social need for having "hang out" friends who will check in and ask how you are?

My AI Slop-loving Facebook connection likes to share three common ideas with their posts: 1) Kids today need to go to trade school 2) The olds are full of wisdom and today's entry 3) Things were better before we had personal technology.

It's astonishing that all these big brains keep reinventing new ways to get porn to the masses instead of tackling real problems like modernizing infrastructure, or cracking the nitrogen crisis, or working on a national social safety net that provides healthcare & education for everyone, or ...

... WHY?

Well, @theatlantic.com story on how the death of the girlboss signals Gen Z's embrace of amoral vapidity and their rejection of firm political convictions and unapologetic ambition would really piss off Gen Z if they could read. Fortunately, according to the Atlantic, Gen Z isn't doing that either.

Has anyone used AI to create/maintain the website that fact-checks all of Sam Altman's claims?
