A year later, the big newspapers finally catch up on what is written in the Lindy Newsletter.

Some patients have reported a kind of emotional flattening while on GLP-1 drugs. Online, the phenomenon has taken on a name — anhedonia — and, more colloquially, “Ozempic personality.” wapo.st/3OsIre7

I will never accept this. I was raised on area code parentheses and see no reason to drop them.
APStylebook@APStylebook
We updated our style for telephone numbers in 2024 to drop parentheses. We now recommend the form: 212-621-1500. For international numbers use 011 (from the United States), the country code, the city code and the telephone number: 011-44-20-7535-1515. Use hyphens, not periods. No parentheses. The form for toll-free numbers: 800-111-1000. If extension numbers are needed, use a comma to separate the main number from the extension: 212-621-1500, Ext. 2.

Great. Then let’s also establish a third body to protect urbanites from the tyranny of rural voters.
This is meaningless nonsense, sorry.

@DerekPederson3 Like the Senate, it protects sparsely populated rural areas from the tyranny of the majority.

The arguments for the Electoral College are all basically terrible and its original purpose (so that elites could block the masses from electing a populist demagogue) is clearly a failure.
James Surowiecki@JamesSurowiecki
There's no good civic argument for the electoral college. It was arguably necessary to ensure the ratification of the Constitution, but it's an anti-democratic device that gives some American citizens far more voting power than others, based purely on where they live.

I get it, there’s money to be made, but I just don’t think lightning can strike twice here. Between the 36 years between sequels and the post-COVID celebration of the theatrical experience, you’re just not going to recreate what made MAVERICK a phenomenon.

45-day theatrical window is a great start. The real key is delaying the stream-for-free (or, well, "free" since you're paying for Netflix, etc) date long enough that people notice. Six months, at least.
Sean Fennessey@SeanFennessey
At CinemaCon, David Ellison confirms all 15 of Paramount’s 2026 releases will have a 45-day minimum theatrical window. Every studio chief has emphasized this in an effort to rebuild moviegoing. Next step: no straight-to-streaming movies, the real scourge. Change the habit.

Tony loves AND resents his children; the upwardly mobile Boomer experience

canonically loves his kids but he's repressed: Don Draper, Seth Bullock resents his kids but uses them as an excuse for his behavior: Walter White, Tony Soprano his kids could genuinely float away in a hot air balloon for all he cares: Jimmy McNulty

There is a mystery of why the buns on the Japanese McDonalds website are all tilted. Much more than any other country. My guess is, this detail captures the attention of Japanese, and almost makes them want to put the bun on correctly. Thereby increasing attention mcdonalds.co.jp/en/menu/burger/

@yhdistyminen i would want to hear a larger reasoning behind what you claim to be the purpose of the EC.

The Electoral College has one purpose: preventing the unwashed idiot masses from electing a demagogue. It has never done this. In 2016, the unruly mob wanted a boring neoliberal centrist. The Electoral College overruled them and picked a demagogue

The Norwegian example is illustrative. In the last few years, our wealth tax received massive media attention, described by media outlets as leading to an "exodus" of the wealthy.
But only ~1.7% of the ultra-wealthy actually left. Tax revenue boomed

I know this is a popular topic but I'm the age James Gandolfini was when the pilot was filmed (35) and I don't know anyone who looks that old. Of hundreds of friends and acquaintances. Even the smokers, heavy drinkers, bad dieters. Not even close. Was it air pollution? Lead?

The Holocaust was more or less successful in achieving what it meant to do. Jews used to be a very visible minority in Europe. In urban areas, they were everywhere. They have been effectively removed from the continent and no longer constitute a significant political community.
