I said what I said. We're not ready to push forward into the renewable future. We still want to cling to This old silly fossil fuel world that is killing the planet. If you had an EV that costs under $20K, and subsidized solar cells on your roof, you'd be partially insulated from gas price hikes.

What do you say to someone who believes their chatbot has unlocked the keys to the universe? I talked to mental health experts who are following the 'AI psychosis' issue closely to find out: www.404media.co/ai-psychosis...

New — My case for why it’s not enough to call this “Trump’s war” when violence abroad implicates us all, and how we don’t need hindsight to know that unequivocally opposing this war will be the correct (and only morally defensible) choice:

Genocidal shit

Either they didn’t think about the effect of the invasion on oil and gas prices or they did and didn’t care. I wrote a paper once distinguishing malice, recklessness, negligence, and incompetence. Sometimes you get them all at once.

it’s pretty easy to be anti-war imo

Hey New York - did you know that Columbia doesn’t pay its taxes? So it’s spearheading fascism & attacks on immigrants & freedom of speech, not letting folks cross on 116 which is illegal AND hoarding wealth? If this makes you mad join me in supporting the candidate who will hold them accountable:

Apple should give away AirPlay 2, it’s not a particularly great standard but it works and having it integrated in everything would simplify stuff.

international women’s day

Just awful

It's stiff competition, but Nellie Bowles may actually be the most evil, vapid person to work at her wife's stupid website:

Iran has so far engaged in an ethical war, observing principles of proportionality. The US & Israeli bombing of a water desalination plant in Iran is a war crime. It is a violation of the Geneva convention because they are essential for civilian survival. It is also devastating for the region.

Tapper sucks so hard

Hoppers is excellent, genuinely funny with a message we definitely need right now. It’s also bonkers in all the right ways. Perfect for kids, though my youngest left early because it was loud (and his first cinema film). So much better than Zootopia 2

Walk into a sandwich shop. It’s regulated for health and safety. But AI, which will transform the world economically and socially, is completely unregulated. That’s insane. We need to make certain that AI works for ALL humanity, not just the billionaires who own it.

Reading the Rebecca Solnit interview and … I can’t actually believe that DAVID MARCHESE said the below? Maybe there is hope to shift the climate narrative in the centrist press?

The kids explain it to them now.

When people say it worked out in World War II I would say: 1) I wouldn’t call that a “regime change war,” and 2) even if that’s how u define it, that was a highly unique situation of global colossal, nearly world destroying bloodbath; do u want to recreate those conditions for “regime change”?

Sunday Reading: From Abraham Lincoln to… Donald Trump? A history of the Republican Party – Part I: From anti-slavery origins to white conservative domination, 1850s to 1990. My new piece:

BREAKING: The US has bombed Tehran’s main refinery and burning oil is now flooding down the streets into the city’s sewers. This is a vision from hell, unleashed by the US tonight. (🎥 Vahid Online)

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Now more than ever I’m convinced losing Anthony Bourdain meant we lost probably the biggest person on tv who advocated for the wonders of meeting new people and calling anyone online who hated learning new cultures the children they were, ruthlessly to the camera.

Also that recession never happened and there were no mea culpas from those who predicted it

This is the inherent problem with making movies that cost a hundred million dollars to produce -- the economics of it require you to make it as broad, flattened and toothless as possible. The more you spend the less risk you're allowed to take.

Knew this was coming, eventually.

How is this real

We still have a few first printing, first edition copies of this incredible, handcrafted book about the production of the 1984 David Lynch Dune, signed by author @maxevry.bsky.social. Red foil edges, tassel bookmark. mzs.press/SIGNED-A-Mas...

We need a Joe Rogan of the left, shut up we need new Rod Serling, let’s get on that shit.

Rod Serling is probably the coolest guy of the 20th century. Looked cool, sounded cool, fought Nazis, hated John Wayne, wrote the screenplay for Planet of the Apes. Honestly dunks all the hell over any male influencer guy.

NYU is, at this point, doing censorship on behalf of a political position that is more conservative than the average *American*, let alone Democrat

Jon raises serious and legitimate concerns about Trump ordering a nuclear attack on Iran. Two other data points: On Monday, Trump told @jaketapper.bsky.social, “We haven’t even started hitting them hard. The big wave hasn’t even happened. The big one is coming soon.” This morning, Trump wrote:

When will we be spared from having to see this man?

Jan 6ther Andrew Paul Johnson was molesting a child before he was imprisoned in 2024. Trump pardoned him - and he immediately went back to molesting that child, AND that child’s friend. Then he tried to buy their silence by claiming he’d give them some of the millions in restitution he expected.

We don’t talk enough about how morally depraved the tech industry turned out to be. Every single ounce of their self-regarding statements of values was an outright lie.

NEW @thenation.com: The tools of the War on Terror must be destroyed before Trump uses them to finish building his world order, at home and abroad. What we did at home yesterday is what we do in Iran today is what we will do at home tomorrow. The way we break the cycle is straightforward: abolition.

Make it stick.

Most people also won’t finish your 500-word article. So write at whatever length is appropriate for the subject.

I feel like this sort of absurd fascination with subjects, outside of the harms they cause, happens to many journalists. I have no idea what the point of this conversation is, other than Dorsey continuing to succeed by failing. God, that opener…

This is called infantile egocentrism and we're supposed to age out of it by the time we're 5 or so.

humans are very easily tricked into believing words are alive, because we mostly think in language. We build our sense of self out of words. That’s why no one thinks the image generators have consciousness.

No one even likes Mario anymore. Everyone’s saying it. Everyone’s saying, sir, we need an American plumber, not a Japanese plumber or an Italian one or a Japanese one. I can do it. I can do whatever I want. There were too many moons, so I said, you’re going to payback 10% of your moons.

I love @attackerman.bsky.social and if you're not following him what are you doing WHAT ARE YOU DOING

I'm still amazed we were able to get @attackerman.bsky.social on the Engadget Podcast to break down Anthropic's DOD fight, and the role of AI in warfare today www.engadget.com/gaming/xbox/...

People said they wanted more culture pieces on Bsky, right? For COYOTE, I interviewed the @oaklandreviewofbooks.org and @meganwachspress.bsky.social for a behind-the-scenes account of how Megan's 7,000-word feature (!) on coal in Oakland came to be—a phenomenal work of longform journalism.

(This is the same person, come on)

Why the fuck is Les Grossman in here. I mean why the fuck a lot of things but that in particular is weird. Not the scene in Tropic Thunder where they blow up the jungle. Just the scene at the end where Tom Cruise is dancing. Lol. Fucking ding dongs

What I learned from watching/working in tech: These motherfuckers will say anything if they think it'll raise the stock price. They know they're lying, but if they can lie themselves to a certain valuation, they collect. At these amounts, money corrupts.
