Being on social media kinda feels like being a ghost who only sometimes can knock a tin can over

Bled an oil tank today I hope this counts towards being a verified East Coaster (obvs I will always be a CFA but I am TRYING)

Scanning the discourse finding irregular rhythms, tossing in a SCOOBADEEWOP and some trumpets

Searched "heatwave" to see what's happening with it and the results showed a bunch of middle aged naked guys so yeah looks bad for Europe right now

Just got trauma dumped on by a relish squeeze bottle

SO-LAR FLARE 👏 SO-LAR FLARE 👏

New episode of my dingus flower show is PURE ROMANCE and no offence but you could use some romance. youtu.be/E_ktzaOHnkY

I spent the last month obsessed with finding colors that can't be displayed on a conventional screen. This is what I found. moultano.wordpress.com/2026/06/19/w...

Love this, especially "the suburban lawn sign of the mind". It also justifies my position that the passive RT function is the corrosive rust of social media. Would love a label for users who primarily engage that way. bsky.app/profile/sara...

"It requires treating decentralization not as a technical preference but as the architecture democracy actually needs, and fighting for it with the same urgency we’d bring to any other democratic institution under threat."

Last night I had a bad dream and just as it was getting too stressful I paused it and skipped ahead to see how scary it was going to get, just like I do when I watch tv. I've solved nightmares

Discovered and transplanted an oak sapling, then cleared out my tiny old greenhouse and gently evicted some wasps, told them if they wanted to come back they weren't allowed to be mean to me

If the question is "why is this device/platform with all this data serving users so poorly?" the answer is always "because it's not designed to serve users, it's designed to extract from them"

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

Endlessly grotesque to me that First Nations people don't get even a fraction of the institutional protections that certain (*cough*white-skinned) ethno-religious groups do.

LEGO is off quietly chilling about being the only global corporation that didn't turn evil

Still playing with light, it's neat how it can change the vibe from painterly to spatial. So much fun. My gardens grew everything, and I found the poor deceased bumble bee in my laundry room.

Same. Changing our behaviour in response to AI systems only means we're letting them influence and ultimately homogenize our behaviour – continuously narrowing the "rules" until there's no ground left to claim as human-only. We should be glad to finally have the excuse to lean into imperfection

Creepy post-AI scifi novel where nothing is wrong, everyone is happy, money and resources are plentiful, and nobody is worried about this suspicious state of affairs except the reader who knows better. Suddenly, at the end, still nothing happens

Floral cleanse for you. I've been sorting out light and learning how to use still life props.

Wake up babe we're capable of change

Stardew is such a great game because you win by being a friendly helpful little guy

Wrote a thing about recovering from social media addiction and why it's extremely fucked that we don't acknowledge it as a formal disorder (because it would crash our economy if we did) she-what.ghost.io/normalizing-...

New ep of my silly lil show. Also that's the new youtube face youtu.be/KiQJVyoFXHI

If you guessed the predictions look like more surveillance, you are correct.

TREE PEONY ALERT

grabbing every small business owner I can find by the shoulders and yelling directly into their faces that IF I DON'T HAVE AN INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT I CAN'T SEE ANY OF YOUR SHIT GET A FUCKING WEBSITE

Documents obtained by @greenpeaceca.bsky.social: One of the big 'benefits' of AI data centres, according to Carney government, is a bigger market for fossil gas www.desmog.com/2026/06/11/m...

Smartphones have become tools of fascism. Sucks

Who could have seen this coming. More people need to play the thought experiment of "if I was a CEO with no morals or ethics what would I do with this data" and apply it to every app and game that currently exists, because they're all soulless ghouls at this point.

Boomer parents have told us "big decisions" need to be considered exhaustively before taking action. "Oooh that's a big decision" comes as a warning and "security" is largely framed as staying put. This mode is archaic and incompatible with today's speed of change

Head of Instagram says they care so much about "user agency" they will let users "tweak" the AI algorithms to show topics they're interested in. Remember how we used to just follow friends and organically engage? That was agency. This is repackaged dogshit www.theverge.com/tech/947898/...

Re: the pogroms in Belfast, Alberta folks need to understand that is the level of violence and hate fast approaching their province as the hard right continues to gain power

Immigrants do not have to contribute exceptionally to deserve safety Immigrants do not have to permanently grovel to their new country to justify their existence Immigrants are allowed to be just as mediocre, grumpy or homesick as anyone else

Wake up, discover new horrors, go out to the garden

In a deeply eugenicist tech movement obsessed with "cognitive superiority" it seems likely that user intelligence will soon be measured via behavioural data

Bring back demanding what the meaning of this is

Wind and solar energy are scaling globally faster than any other electricty sources in human history. We are living in the middle of a vital profound technical revolution. www.linkedin.com/posts/gavinm...

I've always thought a terrible sort of hell would be existing as an NPC trapped in a video game – no agency or ability to level up, your only role to forward the player's journey. It occurred to me that's basically what AI agents are

Entropy is a critical concept to grasp but is also existentially uncomfortable, especially now. Every branch continues to branch exponentially as long as energy feeds it. Wishcasting and belief-based posting doesn't slow the process, it actually feeds it

Tulips for breakfast lunch and dinner

ah, I was wondering why the NYT was having a panic attack yesterday lol

What most of people want is all of the conveniences that unchecked capitalism provides but somehow without any of the consequences. They're legitimately confused why they can't have that. And the "somehow" is always somebody else's job.

Most people don't really want to make the world better. That's too much responsibility. We only activate after bad things happen. Usually after they've already been happening for a long time. The other side is regressive and authoritarian. The big status quo energy comes from our side.

I wrote a piece for the Yale Review on AI and "jagged intelligence". (Note: headline was not written by me.) yalereview.org/article/mela...

Once again seeing evidence that the accelerationists fundamentally underestimated the effects of entropy and didn't consider chaos doesn't answer to them

What about dreamtime social media where we all take a hero's dose of shrooms and meet up in the metaconscious liminal aether

They’re going to kill personal computing

An internal Microsoft strategy document says that the plan for its just-announced “Scout” personal assistant AI is to “make people addicted” to the tool before rolling out additional functionality, 404 Media has learned. www.404media.co/microsoft-wa...
