DL Open Thread: Thursday, September 28, 2023
Is Vivek Ramaswamy the first AI candidate? There’s something alarmingly unnatural about him. No real person talks like that.

Non-essential: FEMA disaster relief: House Oversight Chairman James Comer said a potential […]
Song of the Day 9/28: Alana Springsteen, “twenty something”
Bruce Springsteen has cancelled all his remaining 2023 concert dates as he combats peptic ulcer disease, demonstrating that the Democratic Party isn’t the only institution plagued by decrepitude. The rockers of the ’60s and ’70s who didn’t have the career-boosting foresight to die at 27 are at an age where they’re more likely to expire […]

Trump’s business empire is in legal jeopardy over his constant lying, but lying is all he knows how to do, so he’s still at it. He gave a speech to a bunch of non-union auto workers and scabs last night but had a bunch of them carry UAW signs. But Philip Bump of the Washington […]

Song of the Day 9/27: Roger Whittaker, “The Last Farewell”
Unless you’re a boomer, and maybe even if you are, you probably don’t recognize the name of Roger Whittaker, who died a couple of weeks ago at age 87. He was a sort-of-folk singer who grew up in Kenya when it was still a British colony and became popular in Europe in the pre-Beatles ’60s. […]

Won’t anyone think of the children!?!
I feel like everything I link to nowadays can run under the Headline: We Are so Fucked WE WILL NEVER STOP FIGHTING FOR YOUUUUUUU Brian’s writing about the general age issue here, but there is a persistent broader disconnect between the desperate rhetoric of, for example, fundraising emails, and the (lack of) urgency with which […]
