What's in @DUALIPA's bag when asked by @voguemagazine? Why, a Charco book, of course! See the full video, including this lovely shoutout for NOT A RIVER by Selva Almada (tr. Annie McDermott) and for Charco itself, here: vogue.com/article/in-the-bag…

Dear @CityMinneapolis it's nice that we're using our tax dollars and fed government funding to fix our roads and bridges, but doing so, all at the same time, without considering residents who commute seems like an abuse of authority. #romenotbuiltinadayorasummer

A CEO earning $20M/yr pays Social Security taxes on ~1% of their income due to the cap on the payroll tax. In fact, they stopped paying into SS last week. Meanwhile, the typical worker pays SS taxes on 100% of their income for the entire year. It's time to scrap the cap.

Andy Weir's short story, The Egg, is one of the most mind-blowing things you will ever read. Do yourself a favor and find 10 minutes to enjoy it. (bookmark this for later)

Rogan: We’re some sort of an electronic caterpillar that’s creating a cocoon. And we don’t even realize what we’re doing. And we’re about to give birth to some technological butterfly. Musk: Yeah. My novel in a nutshell. @joerogan podcast w/@elonmusk simonandschuster.com/books/P…
