Pride Month begins in one week.

"Hurt" is not an original by Johnny Cash. The song was written by Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) in 1994 for the album The Downward Spiral. Rick Rubin had to insist several times on Cash recording his version, at first Johnny found the idea completely insane because the original version is industrial and noisy. At 71, already very ill, almost blind and with trembling hands, Cash completely transformed the band. The iconic video, directed by Mark Romanek, was filmed at the House of Cash (his own museum). June Carter Cash appears looking at him fondly, the video was shot in February 2003, a few months before she died (May) and Johnny himself (September). Trent Reznor was so moved that he declared, "This song is not mine anymore." It is considered one of the best covers of all time.

Claude just got another superpower. Recruiters: This changes sourcing and outreach. You can now connect Claude to Super Carl and turn Claude into a recruiting agent that can: • search 1B+ people profiles • search 50M+ companies • analyze real-time signals • understand your network + relationships • and most importantly… figure out who you can actually reach This is the important part: Most recruiting tools just give you lists. Claude + Super Carl gives you: • the best candidates • ranked by fit • ranked by reachability • warm intro paths • mutual connections • and why they’re likely to respond So instead of spending weeks: • sourcing • cross-checking LinkedIn • finding contact paths • figuring out who knows who • and writing outreach …Claude does it in minutes. You can ask things like: “Find me senior AI engineers in SF who have scaled consumer products, are likely open to leaving, and who I can reach through my network.” Or: “Find me VP Product candidates with marketplace experience who are within 2 degrees of me.” And Claude will return: • ranked candidates • relationship paths • reachability context • and the best way to contact them Honestly, this feels like a superpower for recruiters.

The criticism of the Odyssey casting veers into delusion once people start demanding Greek actors. This is a major Hollywood film and the fame of the cast matters very much. To demand a film studio risk their film failing in order to cast unknown Greek actors is ridiculous.

I do not want a walkable city. I do not want trains. I do not want busses. I want a car that can take me anywhere I want at any time. I don't want to be dependent on transit schedules. I want to choose who I'm traveling with, rather than going for luck of the draw. I want to be able to control my own climate while traveling. I want to be guaranteed a comfortable seat. I want somewhere to keep my things during a day out instead of having to carry everything with me. I want to buy and take home loads of groceries too big to carry without having to trouble myself with delivery services. I want to go through drive thrus. I want to be halfway home from work and impulsively decide to go to a restaurant on the other side of town and just change direction immediately. I want to drive around a new city to take in more than I could on foot or on a fixed route. I want to do road trips where we make up our journey as we go. I want to explore my own city at will without any particular plan. I want to visit small towns out of reach of even the most expansive proposed public transit systems. Essentially, I want freedom.
