There’s something about a really good cover of a favorite song that just digs right into me. This one is fantastic. She puts enough of her own spin on it but it’s still the song I love so much.

I really like this explanation from Nilay Patel on “Software Brain” and how disconnected tech folks are from how “normies” live their lives. I hope the right people get the message.
I biked past the festivities on my way home this evening and even with the crowd supposedly falling short of expectations that’s too much crowd for me.
Napoleon was, by any reasonable accounting, a genius – a military mind who rewrote the rules of European warfare, a political operator who fought his way up from being a minor league Corsican nobility to the Emperor of France and ruler of most of modern Europe before he turned 35, and a reformer whose ideas around the judicial system and the liberal order still echo today.
But none of that stopped him from making one of the dumbest decisions any leader has ever made, because he was arrogant, because he’d gotten away with so much for so long that he confused his luck for a system, and because (with the exception of Talleyrand) most of the people around him had simply stopped telling him no.
I love this song so much, and this version in particular is so good.
