Monday assorted links

1. IRL dates with virtual boyfriends.

2. Tina Turner and Marvin Gaye.

3. One can repudiate Eliezer’s latest stuff, the more important point being it should cause you to rethink what intelligence means and what it is good for.  EY did delete that tweet but the point remains and one can intellectually trace where that logic comes from.

4. Twelve Books at Herculaneum That Could Change History.

5. Henry Oliver’s Virginia notes.

6. Yang Bing-yi, RIP (NYT).  And more Ezra (NYT).
