@OfficialBrohoss There was that WSJ article a few months ago about how you could get a yard there if you deconverted a duplex

i understand how ridiculous and stupid this sounds considering the neighborhood im about to talk about, but lincoln square has broken containment

@chi_urbanist The houses to the left piss me off: new builds for $3M and they didn't put brick on the side!

@TheRealVarnVlog I joined a CSA a year ago, and now I love braising all the tough cuts or grilling a book over a skirt steak, etc. Even made tacos de lengua recently—there are no bad animal parts!
English
@DegrowthQuant hell, I have always bought cheaper cuts because I know how to cut them and I don't eat a ton of meat. But that's just me

How many fonts are there?

My statement on the shooting of two police officers at Endeavor Health Swedish Hospital.

@GergelyOrosz @LocalManOpines Google has done org-wide buyout open to SWEs multiple times (starting with 30k workers in devices last year—they're now on their second buyout offer) alphabetworkersunion.org/press/alphabet…
English
@LocalManOpines They did buyouts, but software engineers were not eligible there! It was corp dev AFAIK

@andrew_anon_ @bucephalus424 Yeah, preference for expensive SUVs and trucks has been there for +10y and 5min BYD/CATL charging just happened in the past 6mo. American car companies (notably minus Tesla) started with Hummer EV, F-150 Lightning, and Rivian SUVs to slate upper-class tastes

@babakuntos I find his sneering prose/attitude annoying, but also in Hinterlands he made a big bit about Chicago being a suburban logistics hub and then this guy mapped warehouses and found it was totally untrue phenomenalworld.org/analysis/the-b…

@provisionalidea @AlexanderMcCoy4 Google employees went much harder against Israel contracts after Gaza, but when faced with the choice of firing 50 employees or dropping a $1B contract, they immediately chose the former
English
@provisionalidea @AlexanderMcCoy4 Project Maven was an example of VP weakness (and the actual contract being low value). Tech execs have since learned that their employees won't actually quit or strike—just complain—so it's very easy to ride out and/or fire them

I see a lot of posts like this from OpenAI employees, and it’s great they feel heard this way, but at the end of the day the Global Affairs team of OpenAI is implementing a lobbying strategy that is explicitly evil and against the employees’ stated values, & this “internal discussion” doesn’t seem to have any affect on that reality in practice.
Boaz Barak@boazbaraktcs
This is true, and of course there is even more internal discussion. One of the aspects of OAI culture I like is a robust culture of internal debate and criticism, which is crucial IMO to avoid groupthink.

@jakewoolf I had the orange suede one. Liked that silhouette a lot and were MiUSA (?)

Idk what the outlook is for J.Crew these days, but I do know if they need a quick few hundred thousand they should just re-release the best New Balance collaboration they’ve ever produced in the 1400
In 2010 these were cool, but in 2026 they would move like absolute hot cakes

@macrocephalopod how is it possible that the founder of stripe fell for one of the most disgusting chart crimes immediately last week? credentials and past performance are evidently not indicative of future results 🤣
English
How is it possible that the literal ceo of y combinator is so utterly credulous and falls for the most obvious AI marketing slop???

@ForeverIzer @RashmanTheHorse The guy who said he and Luxemburg were the only real communists?

This is romanticism. The 2020 riots were not particularly class conscious. They capped off the entire 2010s trend of leaderless, organization-less, and essentially apolitical social unrest that blew off steam but achieved (and even demanded) nothing substantial.

We were closer in 2020 but people panicked, threw a tantrum and demanded their comfortable misery back

@jakewoolf Where is the belt from?
English
Two very good sweatshirts I spotted at Ven Space
One a cotton wool silk blend from Auralee. Super lightweight and luxurious feeling. Big fan of red sweatshirts
Another a vintage style crewneck in a gorgeous golden brown hue from A.Presse
Didn’t buy either but pondering

@tianyuf These all just look like DoorDash or Uber and Americans use those all the time

@dieworkwear I went to the Wythe store once, saw like max 20 items on the floor, couldn't figure out who worked there over the blaring record player, so I tried walking around looking confused for 10min feeling fabrics, wasn't approached by anyone, and then left
English
Some things I saw recently that I think are cool:
— Wythe chambray and Master-Piece backpack at No Man Walks Alone
— Vintage Filson wader jacket on eBay
— New Engineered Garments x Alden Indy Oxford collab
— Patek 2594R "Disco Volante" at Collectability (nice carved markers!)

@jakewoolf I got some fatigue pants from them and they're very nice, but the XL had a 31" inseam and had to be let all the way out with some lining, and I'm only 6'2"
English
Need an IRL try on, but in terms of pure looks and specs, Orslow seems to have the best pair of vintage inspired 90s Levi’s 501-style jeans on the market
Will report back when I can get my hands on a par in person

@BigMeanInternet What's really funny is that they shuffled the guy in charge of that to be in charge of their AI efforts

Man remember the Apple Vision Pro? What did they put into that, $30 billion? Can't have been cheap
