Tangential to your tangential - nice to see that the moral compass of McKinsey associates is still true north.
By the end of the year, Elist was doing roughly 60 Penuma procedures a month, and his oldest son, Jonathan, left a job at McKinsey to become the CEO of International Medical Devices, as they called their family firm.
I’m now imagining populations of penis havers who scoff at the enlarged ones behaving like the Rolex aficionados who play “spot the fake Rolex” and get into all kinds of watch minutiae. Look at the telltale marks around the base - definitely enlarged, not like my 100% natural model, which comes 2.5 seconds fast per day.
To be fair, it was beautiful data. This is definitely the first time that reading about a gangbang made me want to subscribe to canva dot com.
At the risk of kind of picking around the edges here … something caught my eye in #5:
Michael successfully alerted me to the fact that crime has risen by a factor of ten over the past century, which seems REALLY IMPORTANT and nobody else is talking about it and it seems like the sort of thing that more people than just Michael should be paying attention to.
This claim is ridiculous. The homicide rate in the US was something like 30 or 40 per 100,000 people in colonial times, reducing every century, and it’s around 5 right now, since the increase from the 1960s - 1990s has gone back down.
Maybe, in the past 100 years, we have passed so many bajillion new statutes that it has increased crime tenfold, but that’s not what the reactionaries are saying at all.
Eschewing the mainstream use of language and formatting is a sign of genius.
Hi Elon, Here’s some chalk. Give me 100 lines:
profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity. profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity. profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity. profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity. profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity. profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity. profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity. profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity.
My first response would be “that’s a rather shite superpower then, innit?”
I was thinking the same, especially if it only works on busses.
Skip to 1:03 for a second … this is the super-fast lyric portion of the video. Saying all of those syllables fast causes Mr. street-sounding rap guy to lose his accent code-switch and for that verse he sounds like a generic white guy. Pretty funny actually.
I learned this in the Jack Reacher books - elbows are harder to break and have more impact.*

I took 15 mg Adderall for the first time in my life today and instead of lunch I finished my work and instead of dinner I played soccer for three hours and now I get why every single person on here is claiming to have ADHD this stuff is sick
Anyone remember the South Park episode with the Prius emitting clouds of Smug?
Bowling Alone stats: slightly higher scores than bowling with other people stats.
Here are my desiderata:
Here are my eyes rolling out of my skull: 𝄇⥀.⥀𝄆
Saving the world sucks unless you do it while traveling the world in luxury as an EA “charity worker” maybe.
I made it to the second sentence and had to google “hedonium,” which I figured was a portmanteau-type thing and indeed it was. In my search results for the word, I see LessWrong and Nick Bostrum at the top, so yeah.
I think the long content is a gullibility filter
Like those “one weird trick” videos that go on and on without displaying playback controls. Only the rubes get to the end.
here’s the link to the abomination above and more
The one about sending fire to break down the walls of Gaza looks a little creepy, with people dancing on top of the wall. Released in July of 2023.
Someone minted a souvenir half-shekel coin with both Trump and Cyrus on it. Heads, you lose.
holy crap, did anyone see the 404 article on ai-generated breastfeeding photos that “mom daily” is posting in order to avoid the nudity filters at Facebook? This one appeared with hashtag #Godisgood and #jenniferlopez because no one knows the purpose of hashtags anymore I guess.
