“In a recent survey by CDT, a nonprofit civil-liberties body, 29% of responding teachers whose schools participate in monitoring said students’ personal devices were also tracked by their schools through apps, browser extensions or network filters.“

Not just any filmmaker, but his filmmaking partner… that he was dating

The Sky report on X is interesting but not surprising. It starts to put data behind the obvious bias on Twitter post Elon. One telling thing is what they class as “extreme”. On the left? Right? Jokes Hate fueled racist conspiracy

"oh that? it's an original handwritten lyrics sheet for the song Lori Meyers. Lori Meyers. Oh come on you remember Lori Meyers! She was the mouse kid from Night In The Woods! This is where the name came from! No, Night In The Woods. Yes, you know it. Oh my GOD yes ok I don't know what you know

I remember replaying monkey island 1 a few years ago and getting a little frustrated with the pacing, and realising that was me not being patient enough anymore. I think tech is worsening our ability to tolerate boredom. We gotta retrain to be ok with slower pacing and some waiting again

I hope other states take note about how to present ballot proposals about taxes because this is some excellent content design

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

for a super long time i was too self conscious to say i love you to anybody ever and now that so many of my loved ones have straight up dropped dead before i could say it, i tell my friends i love them constantly, to a degree that is likely annoying

some jazzers have been griping about Hancock’s vocoder ad-lib segment, which he’s been doing every set. Allow me to set you straight. Herbie Hancock is one of the greatest musicians ever to live and in the context of music if he makes a choice then that is the right choice. Hope this clarifies

i feel like other things were happening when i posted this but it feels worth repeating that facebook could trace a path between you and basically everyone else in the world in about 3.5 hops on average and that was 9 years ago

This one was addressed to someone, I'm pretty sure, but I hope you enjoy it regardless because the writer is clearly frustrated and it feels it'd be so relatable to anyone who's had to write one of these type of emails. "PER MY LAST TABLET: THE SESAME IS VISIBLY DYING."

2. the strange but often repeated cultish mantra that we need to "embrace the future" — this is so bizarre given, e.g. how destructive industry forces have proven to be in science, from petroleum to tobacco to pharmaceutical companies. (Section 3.2 here doi.org/10.5281/zeno...) 4/n

alex blechman: in my post i invented tech companies misunderstanding what the torment nexus is as a cautionary tale tech company employee: at long last, i have misunderstood the Torment Nexus from classic Alex Blechman tweet "Don't misunderstand what the torment nexus is"

it should be illegal to move your cat off-camera during a Zoom meeting

I know I've been on Your Party a lot this weekend but I feel like I need to explain why they as a party (and their reply guys) upset me, as an individual, and why I feel they are set up for failure on trans rights. Buckle up cuz this is gonna be a thread. /1

LUCASARTS PRESENTS Columbo in: SCUMM of the Earth #pixelart

Frame: this man is here illegally Negation: actually his paperwork is in order Kirby: this is a racist attack by fascists bc a Black man is leading a school district, and the better he's doing the more they hate him

In further hauntings, @sesmith.lol reprinted a classic Catapult essay on why our favorite thing to do when grieving is read about grief.

I think Kamala Harris should run again in 2028 due to her massive popularity. Kamalamania has gripped the nation. When people think of the future they think Kamala Harris

Doubt it’s got legs.

"embrace datacenters or face federal intervention" fucking called it

Oh no, how will you access the website that destroyed a generation's ability to interact with art in a normal way

As eloquent as his words are and how good the optic is of having dark skinned Muslims nod in agreement with him, Mamdani has still already capitulated to the greatest perpetuator of Islamophobia in NYC. And that’s the NYPD. So this falls flat to me.

He was too poor to hire an attorney. One of his co defendants was able to hire a good lawyer & testified against Boyd for lesser sentence His trial was only two days. What did he request? A firing squad. He requested not to suffer. They suffocated him to death instead.

Glad we're scorching the Earth for this amazing tech.

when i got this tattoo i didn’t know what it symbolized and it DOES NOT represent who I am today

having returned to the workplace and being around the general public recently has shown me that there are a vast number of people who are completely unaware of the problems with using generative AI, or even the fact that there are problems with it

Yes they have. Talk to more Black people. You: "For anyone tempted to say that great white sharks have always eaten seals 🦈, no they haven't. I knew a great white shark in the 90s, and he was a compassionate vegan!" Me: "Have you considered talking to any seals that lived through the 90s?🦭"

There are two types of people on this. Those that believed these you g republicans when they told you they were "trolling" 8 years ago, and those who didn't believe they were trolling.

The way people are missing the point on this so hard is really frustrating. "Smart people are better and make better decisions" is a bullshit concept sold to you by eugenicists. The entire framework for how we even conceptualize "smart" was created by eugenicists. Please drop it from your values.

this is probably fine

So my point is that we need to get better at understanding when the language of progressivism is co-opted by bad actors to hustle into the public sphere (“too innovative for regulation”) technologies that threaten the basic foundations of trust necessary to a functioning society.

Oh my god??? “producers asked if he’d like to do a “thumbs-up, thumbs-down” segment. Prompts included “Thumbs-up or thumbs-down: Hamas” and “Thumbs-up or thumbs-down: a Palestinian state,”” “I just couldn’t believe what was happening, That a genocide could be distilled into a late-night game.”

fuck Colbert and all these racist scumbags

my 'favorite' fact about the holocaust is that many gay men in the camps were reimprisoned after the end of the war because they were serving lawful sentences under paragraph 175, and that for the next two decades west germany continued to arrest and incarcerate gay men

“Bari Weiss has no idea what she’s doing. CBS News is a newsroom, and Bari has never run a newsroom (The Free Press does publish some real reporting, but the vast majority of its output is punditry). She’s never even really been a reporter. Her editorial output is embarrassing.”

it remains really funny that this site was spun up to be a crypto/rationalist platform and then old time weird twitter people and others started moving over here in spring 2023 and ever since management has been mad they're successful but not in the way they wanted

Robot personhood / rights is a sci-fi trope because it’s an obvious way to do a story about prejudice against other humans, but I wonder if it’s created a cultural expectation that this *has* to be a debate once you’ve invented robots you can talk to

There are many things to consider about Star Trek, and yes we are somewhat uncomfortable with the militaristic framework of the Federation BUT they make it very clear these inventions exist in a post-scarcity, post-capitalist society, to the point money, ownership is essentially seen as barbaric
