Am I the only person who can’t stand the NYT “Connections” game?

Most days I am not able to solve it, and when I finally see the answers my thoughts are basically “how the hell was I supposed to get that?” And on the days I do solve it, there’s no feeling of success or cleverness, just “yes I see the stupid thing you did there.”

At this point I’m hate-playing it more than anything. Which I guess some would ultimately see as a win. But that doesn’t make it a good puzzle.

BREAKING: NY judge overseeing Trump civil case orders a number of Trump LLCs to be dissolved. Parties agree that the person best equipped to quickly dissolve an operating business is Elon Musk.

This¹ popped into my feed again, and I want to add something else: being a bit shit at stuff and doing it anyway is specifically a radical, anti-capitalist act. ✊🏻 An underlying reason you want to do things well is because you’ve internalised the lesson that stuff only has value if it literally has economic value – if you can sell it.

Post your wonky drawings. Throw an ungainly pot. Make sub-par dinners. You’re literally smashing the system. ♥️

And, particularly, the Peter Thiel-led coup that kicked Musk out as CEO/Chief Strategist.

Here's how that happened. 1/🧵 #history #technology
