I loved the SATC opening song; it was joyful and had great spirit. And Just Like That is NOT better than the movies; it's sad and depressing and has no joy in it. I stopped watching it midway through the first season. I'm 53 and don't understand why people like it. Call me crazy, but I just expected a little joy from a series that was originally be a comedy. Complete letdown.

"The show's theme song is, of course, iconic, but that's not the same thing as good"

Of course I have my late dog, Belle, on my phone. She makes me smile every time I see her smiling face.

Hot take: This is a metric for how closely their loneliness is tilting them toward violence.

That is epically delusional and an absolutely pathetic and cowardly interpretation

Jeff, thanks for talking about tariffs today. You gave me some triangulation between you and Erick Erickson’s take. Erick’s good, but I think he discounts some of Trump’s ideas that end up working despite going against the professional opinion - tariffs most always bad, a tax on consumers. Keep analysis coming please, even a direct rebuttal to Erick’s tariffs ideas without naming names.

Some old rock star was playing on Instagram being like “omg what I created is awesome” unfortunately it was nothing more then a mish mash of instruments and abstracted percussion he was iconic but that’s not the same thing as good. 😊

I’ve been exploring how we can collectively use AI to create and retain the human in a new thing called Slow AI. If you’re curious: https://open.substack.com/pub/theslowai/p/slow-ai-8-teach-it-to-use-less?r=4725ox&utm_medium=ios

The project was executed in a very professional manner and had a clear development plan. Without a doubt, this is one of the best projects out there. Don't miss this, guys.🔥

Hi Substack. I’m not sure how to report this but the latest Android update has removed the ability to “❤️” for me and others, and some subscribers can’t comment on posts anymore, either, as of August 26, 2025. For about a year on Android I have had inconsistent ability to leave comments as well (often there’s no type field in which to comment). I’m worried engagement will tank if people can’t interact with posts. Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks for your attention (typing from iPad).

We are all just balls of wax waiting for the next imprint to be written. Only bad thing, it's like a record, a little chip or scratch and the memory is tainted and will never be the same.

“the Me-At-My-Best wallpaper, is less a flag signaling vanity than an emotional version of that steel bar my grandmother had to install beside her toilet, to help lift herself up.” 🔥
