Hey @EconomicTimes , your word of the day, ‘anfractuous,’ describes well the task of finding your contact info… so to point out that you’ve incorrectly spelled this said-same ‘anfractuous’ on the banner image of its article.
Ok the US aviation system is officially FUBAR. The endless gov’t shutdown is doing more than just “slowing traffic down” — Reagan airport isn’t even letting flights land.
Now sitting in a grounded plane at the wrong airport with zero news about what they’re going to do with us or when.
Srsly, politicians, is this what you need for your game of chicken with the US budget? Trapping hundreds people (incl. old ladies & toddlers!) on diverted airplanes in strange cities? @realDonaldTrump @HouseGOP @SenateGOP @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems
Thanks, government — I guess you’re making people feel the shutdown. @realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse @HouseGOP @HouseDemocrats @SenateGOP @SenateDems

Although if all you care about is *Spotify*'s average for a single stream, it's fine to drive away everybody who isn't willing to pay $38.50 month. But if getting 3x/stream for a tenth as many streams sounds good to you, I think you should stay away from advocacy based on math.

The structural problem with Twitter, reproduced exactly in all its clones, is that there is no shared experience. It’s only a side-effect of this that rebuilding ANY individual experience on a new clone is laborious.

Another brilliant explanatory lesson on fundamental ideas about how to make sense of where we are. 🔥🔥

you may ask yourself “why is a sewer district tweeting at 1:16 in the morning” and you may ask yourself “why am i awake reading sewer district tweets at 1:16 in the morning” and it is then in that moment that you realize
No such thing as a NYT review that’s bad for the author.

Reading a confederacy of dunces is actually painful to me, because “its literally me” and not in a good way.
A beautifully crafted piece about one of the Jan6 rioters. His story is important — but it’s the remarkable writing from @gregjaffe that moves me. Sensitive, nuanced, vulnerable and strong. THIS is America. THIS is who we are.
Before he took part in the riot at the U.S. Capitol, Jake Peart committed an act of 'unfathomable' grace and kindness. Should it matter?

Gaining or losing interest in particular problems or sub-problems is part of the creative process and itself constitutes problem-solving. @DavidDeutschOxf
