Interesting, so you're saying you wrote a clickbait story about how a person leaves out details to make a story compelling BY leaving out details to make the story compelling? Is this journalism or an uno reverse card? Do better @NewYorker— punjew (@punjew) October 26, 2023

But while all of the performances were strong, if you look proportionally, each of the Osage characters felt painfully underwritten, while the white men were given way more courtesy and depth.— Devery Jacobs (@kdeveryjacobs) October 23, 2023

Hebron, Palestine where they need to put nets overhead otherwise they’d get hit with the trash Israelis throw on them, mind you Israelis aren’t supposed to live in Hebron, I believe, but they kinda do whatever they want… https://t.co/tXLWFeOYXu pic.twitter.com/JVBrYpKx3n— Mis Leading (@FaatiTheStreet) October 24, 2023

I grew up in a Zionist household, spent 12 years in a Zionist youth movement, lived 4 years in Israel, and have friends and family who served in the IDF. When that is your world, it's hard to see apartheid when it's happening. 1/16— Raphael Mimoun (@RaphMim) May 12, 2021

because THE FABELMANS has everyone talk about where directors put the horizon now, this is a pretty fascinating explanation from Hoyte Van Hoytema on why he and Nolan's frame the horizon dead-center in IMAX for OPPENHEIMER, from the latest issue of American Cinematographer pic.twitter.com/wFHTKxzdkj— Brendan Hodges (@metaplexmovies) October 24, 2023

Killers of the Flower Moon is a great film; it affirms more explicitly than ever that Scorsese has always been telling the story of America, the most vile gangster nation on Earth— and that he understands who still controls the narrative.

KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON (2023). I feel like late stage Scorsese -- perhaps from WOLF OF WALL STREET onward -- is carving out this new genre: the true-ish fever dream lyrical essay about America. Pictures that feel like full literate novels, all grace notes & soul sickness.

Killers of the flower moon review:1. beautiful movie.2. not an indigenous movie at all, rather a early 1900ʻs period piece where the osage people are the setting. both a positive and negative.3. To me a powerful exercise in humanizing even the most detestable of villains.— Rosehill (@Kailikapu) October 23, 2023

Google: 90% of our engineers use the software you wrote (Homebrew), but you can’t invert a binary tree on a whiteboard so fuck off.

Facebook is another company where you have to do obscure computer science puzzles to get a job there, but once there feel free to write code that crashes 20% of the apps on the App Store. Quality is unimportant provided you can feel smug about how to manipulate data structures.

Feel like I can share my story about BetterHelp. During a particularly dark time and being affected by Israeli lobbyist attacks on me and my livelihood, feeling paralysed, lost, I signed up to trial online therapy.

There are huge protests everywhere in the US against genocide in Gaza, in solidarity with Palestinians and calling for not only a ceasefire but an end to US support for occupation.

Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at $1,390 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful.

When I was young, I never really understood my parents insistence to only use olive oil imported from Palestine. It took a long time and a great distance in a process that was neither cheap nor convenient.

One misunderstanding is that this way of working leads to some tech debt: I don't think it does, if the designers/engineers know what they are doing.
