this article is correct but I (begrudgingly) can't believe they left out Adam Friedland

I think something the "return to orality" conversation might be missing is that the new information regime isn't just verbal, it's also visual. It's not only a shift from writing to rhetoric, it's a shift towards much more primal/primitive queues regarding trustworthiness and attentiveness.

Why is conservative pro-ICE group American Sovereignty sending messaging that, to an audience like Dem primary voters that is opposed to ICE, sounds like it’s on behalf of Jasmine Crockett?

I'm not sure what the algorithms are doing with this Rothschilds stuff, but I do know that it caused my mom, who's in her 60's and has been vocally anti-Trump, to say some antisemitic shit on our phone call yesterday, so it appears to be going to some less than ideal places

My theory is that Big Bird was supposed to die in the Challenger explosion and everything since then is a course-correction by the universe

One of the exhaustingly British things that I least enjoyed about What We Can Know was that he called a place in the future UK archipelago "Snowdonia" because it was cold

I knew staying up to watch this even though it's 2:49AM here would be worth it

"Nazis were just regular people" is not a statement meant to evoke empathy or to excuse their crimes. It is a statement of warning. The capacity to be part of and perpetrate atrocities is not limited to "monsters," it is wholly human. It is what we must always be aware of.

Her skate for gold really feels like a generational moment in sports, it's a beautiful thing to see

X's algorithm is in fact doing what you think it's doing. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

At Carnival in Switzerland this weekend I saw an entire street play about sending Trump to hell

China's Xinhua news agency has just published this editorial cartoon in response to Trump's rejection of climate policies. It is pretty clear that China views this as a HUGE geopolitical fumble by the US leaving the field clear for China's to win the global race to clean-tech hegemony

This reminds me that I finally saw a totenkopf in the wild yesterday at Carnival in Switzerland

Sad to see two of my faves annihilate each other like this but it's fantastic content

it really can't be said enough that this is a person who has dined with the president of the united states

Almost nobody has a well-calibrated position on AI because, on top of being so speculative, nearly everyone who understands the technology is an unreliable narrator on its social, economic, or philosophical implications, and most people qualified to speak on those things do not understand the tech

It's time for Malk

For decades, Texas let drillers spread staggering amounts of radioactive and PFAS-ridden waste on the fringes of the nation’s fourth largest metro area — while making it virtually impossible for the public to know where. Absolutely fucking insane story from @saulelbein.bsky.social today

The hell is this about?

Might be one of my favorite kits we've ever had? Possibly too early to say that but currently a huge fan

I wish audiobooks automatically came with an ebook or transcript copy so that it was easier to mode-switch when the context allowed. CC @libro.fm lemme keep reading even when I can't listen

for better or worse, people will forget about that video by the end of the year, if not end of the month. but when trump finally kicks the bucket, there were be orgasmic celebrations across the US & around the world. he will be remembered as the most despised US president since WWII for generations

one thing i always look for in a currency is the capacity to lose 15% of its value in response to nothing in particular

jeffrey epstein being the first domino for the financial crash, video game micro transactions, and Gamergate is making me lose my mind

i am trying not to joke about the Epstein stuff because it's so horrible but there's also this ridiculous element where it's like... discovering Dracula is real, he's taken over human society at the highest levels, he's involved in tons of evil and also he's a huge dipshit

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

seth's right, this is heat

As someone who read Outlive and thought Attia raised a lot of my warning flags I'm finding this particular saga to be very enjoyable

Look, I'm not saying I'm responsible for it, but the day before his recent announcements (and for the first time in *many* years) I let myself listen to some old Kanye to "remind myself what we lost," and now all of a sudden he's sorry. The timing has many asking questions!

for all his normal antisocial reasons I honestly do find it plausible that Elon became a sex pest independently of the Epstein stuff. this tweet is his "If I Did It"

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

Catching up on the Jeopardy ToC and I still can't believe Steven Olson isn't Kate McKinnon playing a character

every epstein file drop underscores how elite power operates through shared socio-economic networks, regardless of people's ideological differences, populist posturing, or public feuds

I am dragging my anchor

I enjoy metascience as much as the next guy, but man do I hate those figures showing the popularity of keywords in publications through time. Boring!

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

If this is what they do when they're out on the street with people pointing cameras at them, what do you think is happening inside the ICE prison camps that they keep denying Members of Congress access to?

this showed up on my feed at the right time

Doesn’t it make you crazy? Doesn’t it turn your blood to fucking gasoline?

God, absolutely sick to my stomach reading up on today's events

this Greenland shit is fucking insane. it’s fucking insane. the fact that anyone is humoring him is fucking insane. the biggest problem in the world today is that nobody is taking the president seriously for the fucking psychopath he is. this isn’t all some fucking joke

A competent opposition political party would cut together the footage of what ICE had been doing in the twin cities with Mike Johnson saying "ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do" and have it in ads all across the country

🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Globally, no single day in 2025 was cooler than its 1991-2020 average. climate.copernicus.eu/global-clima...

If I was the commander in chief of the Imperial hegemon I would simply not dismantle the network of military and diplomatic alliances, favourable trade deals, and broad cultural paramountcy that had made my nation the most wealthy and powerful the world has ever seen.
