Happy last day of July!

The Age of Advertising Must Come to an End (substack.com): If you want to reign in the worst excesses of techno-capitalism, this is the way to start.

Elon Musk Wants to Relive His Start-Up Days. He’s Repeating the Same Mistakes. (disconnect.blog): Interesting look at why Elon keeps making the same mistakes.

scoturday night fever - by Allison Epstein (substack.com): Another excellent dirtbag column. This one about the man responsible for the Bible that most Protestants in the English world were familiar with.

How a Doodler's Problem Sparked a Controversy in Math - Scientific American: I love stories of the unsolved.

Texas A&M put professor on leave for allegedly criticizing Dan Patrick | The Texas Tribune: The real threat to free speech is right wing government, not some random college student at Yale making a professor feel bad for having a dumb and/or racist and/or sexist and/or classist opinion. Not that you could ever convince anyone at the Atlantic or other bastions of centrist speech panic about that.

Slow Players #12: "The Only Tonic for The Light" (Tolkin/Altman) (substack.com): “No more middle-class movies.” The entertainment business is so screwed.

What It Means to Be a Car | Tor.com: I haven’t added fiction to these pieces before, but I really liked this short story. Let me know if you’d like to see more of these in the Good Reads.

Panic Among the Streamers - by Ted Gioia (honest-broker.com): Yep — the entertainment business is so, so screwed.

Tesla’s secret team to suppress thousands of driving range complaints (reuters.com): What’s really infuriating about this story is that the law seems designed to let Tesla get away with what appears to be massive fraud and conspiracy.

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.
