Brené Brown, researcher and author, on the contradiction she keeps hearing in rooms full of tech billionaires: Her work puts her in rooms where the founders and CEOs of major tech platforms talk openly about how they think. What @BreneBrown hears there unsettles her: "So I hear someone say, 'Hey, you know, tech billionaire, what should my kids study? I'm worried for my kids… they should study coding, physics,' and then five minutes later, as if that answer didn't happen, someone will say, 'What do you attribute your success to?' I mean deeply when you think about it, and the same person will say, 'My deep reading of philosophy and the stoics.'" The contradiction is what stops her: the same people crediting philosophy and the liberal arts for their own success are telling other parents their kids should focus on coding and physics. That gap leads her to a bigger, more uncomfortable question: "I start to extrapolate from there and wonder if there is a thinking class that's emerging where they're like, 'We're going to read philosophy and we're going to read the liberal arts and we're going to study history, and the rest of you just keep scrolling. Don't worry about the big words. We'll handle all the big words for you.'" She points to Steve Jobs as an early signal of the same pattern: "It's like when they asked Steve Jobs, 'Boy, your kids must love the iPad.' Steve Jobs said, 'My kids don't have an iPad.' And then his biographer who spent time with his family said he wasn't kidding. There's no technology. At dinner, they're talking about art and history." The takeaway is simple but uncomfortable. The people building these platforms are protecting their own kids from them, and giving them books, ideas, and real conversation instead. So why are the rest of us being sold something different?

I watch way more movies than shows, but I’m making a list of shows I need to finally see: Severance, Industry, Succession, White Lotus, Dopesick, Ted Lasso, The Bear, Ripley, Dark & Euphoria. What am I missing?

@sabrdance And WNtTAK was careful to give that family a second child who turned out OK, to emphasize that it wasn't all the mother's fault.

Yes, they are deeply disturbing and I regret being aware of their existence, let alone having read them. Movie version: We Need to Talk About Kevin.

@bram_kawa @bales1181 @JanuaryMovie @VaderJaws @ihateclaims @krazykeithrules @FilmsQuirky @BrambleJim @FunMovieTVFan @ironicteachings Just watched that last week. Amazing film. Might need more than one viewing.

Given how much money Democratic Operatives made for doing nothing in 2024, I might have to become one myself.

The employees need to know to put pronouns in their email signatures or what to do if ICE shows up! Who’s going to run the same sexual harassment seminar every year? What the hell is wrong with you people!?!
