In Great Companions, Max Eastman relates an interesting story about Millay that, if true, reveals something of her attitude about her own sexuality. According to Eastman, while at a cocktail party Millay discussed her recurrent headaches with a psychologist. He asked her, "I wonder if it has ever occurred to you that you might perhaps, although you are hardly conscious of it, have an occasional impulse toward a person of your own sex?" She responded, "Oh, you mean I'm homosexual! Of course I am, and heterosexual, too, but what's that got to do with my headache?"

In some cases I have noted 'Landlord good' or 'Landlord bad', because there is great variation in what the slum-dwellers say about their landlords. I found-one might expect it, perhaps-that the small landlords are usually the worst. It goes against the grain to say this, but one can see why it should be so. Ideally, the worst type of slum landlord is a fat wicked man, preferably a bishop, who is drawing an immense income from extortionate rents. Actually, it is a poor old woman who has invested her life's savings in three slum houses, inhabits one of them, and tries to live on the rent of the other two— never, in consequence, having any money for repairs. —George Orwell, The Road to Wigan Pier

Thing Bad @Merman_Melville Being a billionaire must be insane. You can buy new teeth, new skin. All your chairs cost 20,000 dollars and weigh 2,000 pounds. Your life is just a series of your own preferences. In terms of cognitive impairment it's probably like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

One of the first agencies the Trump administration attempted to dismantle is the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

In May 2024, the USAID inspector general announced it was investigating USAID's relationship with Starlink (a subsidiary of SpaceX), which it had paid to provide internet services to Ukraine civilians. While the details of the investigation are not public, there is evidence Russia had access to Starlink, which was not supposed to be possible. However, the investigation will likely be dropped as the Trump administration moves forward with shutting down USAID.

Meditations in an Emergency By Cameron Awkward-Rich I wake up & it breaks my heart. I draw the blinds & the thrill of rain breaks my heart. I go outside. I ride the train, walk among the buildings, men in Monday suits. The flight of doves, the city of tents beneath the underpass, the huddled mass, old women hawking roses, & children all of them, break my heart. There's a dream I have in which I love the world. I run from end to end like fingers through her hair. There are no borders, only wind. Like you, I was born. Like you, I was raised in the institution of dreaming. Hand on my heart. Hand on my stupid heart.
blasphemies at the 5th street station there is only me and you and the thing that is trying to swallow us. in every version of the story there is a fire: here, burning clothes in the backyard. here, throwing matches at the home i don't live in anymore. again and the highway between our bodies, gone. on the train, a man tells you he is an angel and jumps off the platform. over the screaming, you tell me you're starting to think there really is a god, like capital g God. like something that isn't here to hurt us, just to watch us hurt. honey, you just want something to blame besides yourself. i get it, i'm tired too but is there any room for safety between the disaster of our bodies? if there is a light then i am going to swallow it. if there is a god then i'm going to make him cry.

To Gay, there is little daylight between Ballerina Farm and the women of MomTok. She worries that even the spectacle of those divorced moms dancing, drinking, and talking about breaking the patriarchy tips into propaganda for the church — or at least aids in its lionization of young motherhood and the nuclear family. The organization can benefit from the rebrand without changing its core practices. That the church recently updated garments for women to include a thinner tank-top strap, something the faithful had long clamored for, exemplifies this, Gay says. It's merely a cosmetic move, one that ultimately reforms nothing. "The whole world is supposed to lose their minds because a hun-dred-year-old man told us that we can show our shoulders now?" she asks. "It's still a theocracy."

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. Jean-Paul Sartre

New York - Corporate giants in the Twin Cities stayed silent, publicly, for more than a month as massive federal immigration operations upended daily life and the local economy. Top Minnesota CEOs and business leaders had held phone calls about how to respond. Instead of going public, they settled on working behind the scenes to warn Trump administration officials and Republican leaders about economic damage from the surge of immigration agents to Minneapolis, say people close to the companies. The people spoke under the condition of anonymity to discuss private deliberations.

Also, I wrote that Miami story more than two years ago. It seems almost hilarious to me now, but I actually wrote a story that was like "LOL Miami, they're selling real estate in a town threatened by sea level rise" without realizing that I lived in and owned a home in a place that was equally climate-challenged. I knew this intellectually, but it hadn't seeped in. That Miami story was funny. I couldn't write a funny story about climate change now to save my life. But the Miami story is everyone's favorite. Everyone wants something like it, and it makes me feel sad for so many reasons, mostly because when I wrote it I was a much happier person and I miss her, she was a lot of fun, even if she was an idiot.

The announcement is framed as a "tectonic Al platform shift". There isn't any concrete context given on what specifically is not working in the current mode of operation at Microsoft, just the general notion that everyone at the company needs to do better in these unprecedented times. Aside from the key thing about Nadella making way to Althoff, it's pretty shallow. Here's how the internal memo ends: - This will also allow our engineering leaders and me to be laser focused on our highest ambition technical work-across our datacenter buildout, systems architecture, Al science, and product innovation -to lead with intensity and pace in this generational platform shift. Each one of us needs to be at our very best in terms of rapidly learning new skills, adopting new ways to work, and staying close to the metal to drive innovation across the entire stack!! This isn't just evolution, it's reinvention, for each of us professionally and for Microsoft. Satya - See that "this isn't X, it's Y" part there? Yup, that's classic GPT writing. In practice, Satya Nadella isn't even writing these announcements that are sent to all MS employees anymore. It's all just Al talk. If would be much more honest if the memo would have been signed by Copilot instead. While we wait for it to be reimagined as the CEO Agent, with Copilot as the Ul for it, of course.

In terms of human rights, I've always found it a little bit puzzling, given what you write, and given who your wife is, that you two were so close to Henry Kissinger. Of all the pre-Trump political figures in America, he is the one I think of as in some ways the opposite of liberal, given his behavior toward the rest of the world. I'll tell you a story. I wrote a book a few years ago on Star Wars. We invited Dr. Kissinger to my Star Wars book party, and he said, "You wrote a book about Star Wars? Why'd you write a book about Star Wars?" He was puzzled and courteous, but really confused. And then he came to the book party, which was quite generous. He was a busy person. But, despite his busyness, he came to the book party. Yeah, and then I gave a talk on Star Wars, and he came up to me afterward and he said, "Oh, I see why you wrote a book on Star Wars. There's a lot there. It's, like, about families and it's about governments and freedom." The amount of curiosity and generosity that he showed was incomparable. I don't know anyone who showed that level of curiosity and generosity. And we really got into Star Wars. He just wanted to think about it. I know there are strong views about his career, and I'm hardly an expert on his career. But your wife is one of the great human-rights experts in the world. I asked you about him being anti-liberal, and your response was that he was very nice to you about your book. About Star Wars. It is certainly a touching story. But that's not totally an answer to the question.
