    I asked ChatGPT to transcribe this because I didn’t wanna read the small ass text either.

    "When I start to tear up because I’m thinking about how humans have an absolute biological need to eat and drink but instead of just picking the most nutritionally efficient food off the ground regardless of taste, all humans everywhere have made it a lifestyle. We invented cuisines over generations of meals that hold the stories of grandmas and leaders and gods and the taste of communities and landscapes. We’ve chosen to spend hours cooking with and for others, trying flavors as we go and writing down tips for others.

    We’ve made up meal times and tables so that we can sit for hours over the food we make and laugh and sing and tell stories and congratulate and cry with each other. We’ll stay hungry for hours so we can eat with loved ones, and not let people leave until they’ve eaten. We bring food to the sick and give food to those in need. A boring biological need that we have filled with art and magic. And that’s what humans do; sure, we’re limited by our biology, but we are going to make those limits as special, fun, loving, and memorable as possible.

    The universe is mundane and cares not for us, but WE DO. We care, we care lots."










  • “This Xiaomi car… is fantastic. They sell ten thousand, twenty thousand a month,” Farley said. “I don’t like talking about the competition much, but we flew [an SU7] from Shanghai to Chicago and I’ve been driving it for six months now, and I don’t want to give it up.”

    Farley didn’t mention which version of the SU7 he imported, but it’s normal for automakers to test out their competitors’ vehicles to better understand what they’re up against.

    Xiaomi doesn’t sell cars in America, and even if you went the “I’ll just bring one here” route the CEO did, there’s ~100% tariffs on them, so I’d bet he doesn’t see them as a competitor at this time and is just being somewhat candid.
