my proudest accomplishment is quitting lost in season 2 knowing it was never going to get anywhere near delivering on the questions it was asking

i'm just confused how arrested development with its botched reboot can be ahead of the voice of her generation (girls)... feels like the nyt list is if you ranked shows where you're just allowed to blackout whatever seasons you want (game of thrones)
i think this is where i'm at

The @BostonCollege Investment Committee (an LP and my beloved alma mater) asked for a few thoughts on what's happening in AI. I recorded a test run yesterday morning and then shared it with my partners, who encouraged me to share it more broadly... so here you go! This is not a sales pitch, it's just a reflection on what we're seeing. And it wasn't intended to be shared, so please pardon the rough edges. loom.com/share/c016702964a04…

Game of Thrones in the top 10 is disgusting. the whole show was predicated on having some larger point in the conflict with the white walkers and delivers nothing. how this could represent the best of television is beyond me.

overall the list seems to prioritize shows that had really good seasons (Game of Thrones, White Lotus) rather than perfect top to bottom shows (like Bojack). I don't get how Always Sunny is so low.

New in Newcomer: @WeberWest's first item on how Muse jumped to an early lead in the personal agent race, plus insurance startup Corgi wants to make a name for itself with bold marketing plays from @Cain_Hillier and additional items from me. Lots of good stuff! newcomer.co/p/agents-promise…

This says “OpenAI won’t win everything” but could also be “Meta” or any big player We are in such a wonderful era of innovation and I am glad to be back supporting startups Fun convo with Eric

Pathetic snowflake behavior, as a staffer who is supposed to be partisan, to send your ex-boss's texts to The New York Times weeks before a general election.
SCOOP: Inside the tumult of Mary Peltola's Senate campaign in Alaska and her time on Capitol Hill. Peltola is known publicly as kind and affable. But aides recall angry outbursts, slurs and a shove. (She also required staff to feed a pet chameleon.) nytimes.com/2026/09/23/us/po…
