@SketchesbyBoze Johnathan strange and Mr Norell! So good.

My very personal list of ninety favorite books, as of about ten minutes ago. Middlemarch will almost certainly be near the top once I finish it.

On Sunday evening, I had the worst experience I’ve ever had with @Airbnb. A few hours before arriving in Hamburg for OMR, a conference that brings more than 70,000 people to the city, my booking was suddenly cancelled. I immediately contacted customer support, expecting them to help me find another place. Instead, they told me they couldn’t assist because “Airbnb didn’t cancel your booking, the host did.” Excuse me? This happened around 11 PM. I spent the entire night on calls with customer support and did not sleep at all. At around 1 AM, things got even worse. I received a message saying I was no longer allowed to make bookings on Airbnb because my account had been flagged as potentially dangerous. I honestly couldn’t believe what was happening. I was traveling with my three-month-old baby. I explained that multiple times. It made no difference. No meaningful help. No travel credits. My account was blocked. And by the time I arrived in Hamburg, I had to scramble to find a hotel on my own. The ironic part? There was no AI involved in this experience. Only humans following scripts and passing me from one person to another. And, Brian, I genuinely wish I had been dealing with AI instead. It would have been faster, more logical, and probably far more empathetic than the people I spoke with that night. What shocked me most was realizing how few real alternatives there are to Airbnb. At midnight I was completely on my own trying to solve a problem that should never have happened in the first place. Worst customer experience I’ve had in years.

@adamndsmith Inhumane technology is everywhere now

Reading is her only hobby and Amazon destroyed it - and many other people’s working Kindles - so they could make you buy a new one and pump it full of ads.

@OldHollowTree Yes

Do…do all my followers on here homeschool?! 😳

The loss of the independent physician has had devastating consequences on American society. Corporate medicine has destroyed American healthcare.

@LadyHollowTree Wow- so beautiful

The High Wood Chandlers (my in-laws) have been busy this week! Parliaments of owls, fields of tulips, and more! All candles will be updated today at 5pm Eastern. HummingMeadow dot com.

In fact, nothing undermines public confidence in the judiciary quite like radical judges preventing justice from being done. Judgements and sentences divorced from Common Law can quickly dissolve a thousand-year foundation of public confidence. Public confidence doesn't stand a chance in the face of activist judges making findings based on a caste system of oppression narrative based on skin colour, rather than personal responsibility, the very underpinning of an ordered society. If the CBA were really concerned about public confidence, they would be looking within their profession. They'll find the rot is coming from within.

🚨BREAKING: The CEO of the most valuable private company in history is being sued by his own sister for s*xual abuse. A judge just allowed the case to move forward. Annie Altman filed an amended lawsuit on April 1, 2026 in St. Louis federal court accusing her brother Sam Altman of sexually abusing and raping her between 1997 and 2006. She says the abuse started when she was 3 years old and he was 12. A judge dismissed the original claims because the statute of limitations expired in 2008. But he allowed her to refile under Missouri's Childhood Sexual Abuse law. She did. The case is now active. Sam Altman denied everything. Called it extortion. Filed a defamation countersuit against his own sister based on social media posts she made between 2021 and 2024. His family says she has mental health challenges. Annie posted videos saying she was "touched by older siblings" and that "an almost tech billionaire" molested her. The judge said those statements make it reasonable to infer she meant Sam Altman. This is the same man whose own board of directors fired him in 2023. Former board member Helen Toner said two senior executives came forward with screenshots and documentation. They used the words "psychological abuse." Said he was lying and manipulating people. Said they had no belief he could change. The board fired him secretly because they knew he'd try to undermine them. He came back five days later. Employees were told either Sam comes back or the company dies. This wasn't his first time. The management team at his first startup Loopt went to the board twice asking to fire him for "deceptive and chaotic behavior." He was reportedly pushed out of Y Combinator too. Every safety leader who clashed with him left. Musk. Sutskever. Amodei. When Jan Leike resigned he said "safety culture has taken a backseat to shiny products." OpenAI was forcing departing employees to sign agreements saying if they ever criticize the company they lose all their equity. Millions of dollars. When it leaked Altman said he didn't know. The CEO didn't know what was in his own exit contracts. He asked Scarlett Johansson to voice ChatGPT. She said no. Twice. They made a voice that sounded just like her anyway. Altman tweeted "her" on launch day. She had to hire lawyers to get them to stop. Forbes says he's worth $3.3 billion. The Musk trial starts April 27. His sister's case is now active. His own board fired him for lying. His own executives called it psychological abuse. And this is the guy the world is trusting with AI.

@hell_line0 I definitely would believe her if I were you. Georgia Tann stole ppl kids from the 1920s until the 1950s selling them to rich families. Tann died 3days before she went to trial and stole over 5 thousand children! She was one of many. Crazy stuff!

@anish_koka This is unreal

The "dancing doctor" story is wild when you look at the resume. Dr. Windell Davis-Boutte: • BS from Xavier University (HBCU) • MD from UCLA School of Medicine • Dermatology residency at Emory under renowned derm chief Thomas Lawley • Board certified since 1997 Around 2018: 20+ videos posted publicly of herself dancing over unconscious patients, scalpel in hand, no mask, no gloves. Staff in scrubs as backup dancers. 100+ patients came forward with complaints. 1 case of Brain damage. Many more disfigured. The Georgia Medical Board intervenes to suspend her license. I have trouble believing the trouble started with her self-immolating videos in 2018.

@RealSpikeCohen @YATPOfficial Out in the Open Georgia Tann -child trafficker who kidnapped and sold and murdered roughly 5,000 children and from TN

Tennessee is considering a bill (SB1868/HB2526) that would lock up foster kids indefinitely, even if they haven’t been charged with a crime. You can help kill this bill today. Here's what happens when kids are locked up without a crime: Hillary Transue was a teen in Pennsylvania. She made a MySpace page mocking her high school’s strict vice principal. At the end she wrote, "When you find this I hope you have a sense of humor." He didn’t. Instead of detention or a meeting with parents, Hillary was taken to juvenile court before Judge Mark Ciavarella. Her hearing lasted about 60 seconds. She was handcuffed right there and locked up. Her mother was horrified as Hillary who had never been in serious trouble, was treated like a dangerous criminal. Years later it was revealed Ciavarella was taking millions in kickbacks from private detention centers to lock up thousands of kids in the now-infamous Kids for Cash scandal. Fortunately for Hillary, she had a loving family and "only" spent about a month locked up. SB1868/HB2526 would allow Tennessee to detain foster kids, potentially until they are adults, without a charge even being filed, based on predictions about their behavior. We’re going to protect these kids from ever being put through that. I’ll explain how you can help in this thread.

@irishrygirl Perfect

Most of you are familiar with the “Irish goodbye” but some of you aren’t familiar with the “Irish hello” it’s when I say yes to plans and never show up. Slainte

@MagicalKitch @themarginalian I own it too. I love this book.

I bought this book when I first saw it in the bookstore long ago. I couldn’t believe it! Words like goldfinch, starling, fern and dandelion, such important, beautiful and distinctive words just discarded, as if you can just throw out one’s thinking. It is a beautiful book, a conjuring spell in image and word of unforgettable artistry. The books sits on my coffee table as a reminder that the words we don’t hear or others choose to ignore, may in fact be some of the most important words to know.

When the Oxford children's dictionary discarded dozens of nature-words—"dandelion," "fern," "starling"—as irrelevant to children's imagination and replaced them with words like "broadband" and "cut-and-paste," this inspired act of resistance was born: themarginalian.org/2019/06/17/the…

The New York Times has now amended its “Smoking Jars of Metal and Fuses” headline, but it’s too late. Even in a world drowning in fake news, this particular masterpiece will live on in infamy.

@Olivia_Reingold Wow

Guys that post was just the tip of the iceberg, I found 70+ radical anti-Israel posts liked by Rama Duwaji, wife of Zohran Mamdani. One calls October 7 a "mass rape hoax." thefp.com/p/nyc-first-la…
