I never appreciated #WhiteStripes Seven Nation Army until this Postmodern Jukebox arrangement came along — the New Orleans dirge style is a fantastic groove for this, plus Haley Reinhart doing this is like a master class in… EVERYTHING — she’s so amazing here!

News breaks, we podcast. Nate Persily, @alex and I sat down to chat about Meta's Trump account reinstatement. Nate is pragmatic, Alex is cynical, and I'm a naive little formalist.

(I also misuse "beg the question" -- please forgive me!!)

Pinky and The Brain were based on two producers at warner bros animation and i cant get over how they really just drew these guys as mice without changing anything else

I made a graph of all my past relationships.

It has an ex axis and a why axis.

I feel bad when I go to delete an app from my iPhone because they all start shaking with fear wondering which one is about to die.

Very sad to hear that Herb Gintis passed away. I only met Herb a few times in person, but he and Sam Bowles played a key role in building the UMass economics program, and contributed to a wide range of inquiry. His work inspired me as an undergrad to go into economics.

Wonderful piece in Ars Technica by @b which (despite the title) talks very broadly about the fediverse, including but also far beyond just Mastodon, and has quite a few quotes from me in it: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/12/mastodon-highlights-pros-and-cons-of-moving-beyond-big-tech-gatekeepers/

Originally shot in Black and White, here is the colorized version of The Nicholas Brothers in one of the GREATEST dance sequences ever performed!

From the 1943 film, “Stormy Weather,” the clip also features Cab Calloway and Orchestra playing “Jumpin’ Jive.”

Childhood prodigies, The Nicholas Brothers don’t get nearly the recognition they deserve. They were truly astonishing to behold!

@dangillmor The op-ed's complaint seems to be that Signal doesn't gratuitously log everyone's communications content in case law enforcement wants it in the future. But neither does virtually any other real-time communications system - voice telephony, SMS, tin-can-and-string, or conversations in parks. Real-time communication is, by definition, ephemeral, whether encrypted or not.

$TSLA crashing because the company is on autopilot is the most fitting end to 2022 possible

More evidence on the competition-quality relationship. 🎅🏽
