i think drake should release a chicago juke record

I think that this kind of framing is borderline irresponsible and borders on encouraging conspiracy thinking. This company has 17 investors, and one is Founders Fund.

People love to be like "you have to understand what these people are feeling" when they believe something completely false and frankly stupid

In 2019, one of the phrases of the time was "Data is the new oil," which activists used to mean it was a dangerous, extractive industry which it would be a mistake to build dependence on. But in Washington, that was taken as, "Data is a strategic resource that the US should maximize production of."

VC community needs to come together to force this company to stop running these ads lmao

trying to explain to my fellow forumgoers that i am personally concerned

do we *actually* need to smash agriculture, the attorney-client privilege, and every HR department to pieces, or do you just need a Snickers and maybe for Mom to put your show on the iPad for you

[yoda on tiktok] think fear leads not to the dark side, do you? 😏👉fear ➡️ anger 😏👆anger ➡️ hate 😏🫴 hate ➡️ suffering

most people still don't grasp at a basic level that the landowner / labor divide does not map to a left-right logic of affiliation

genuinely concerning to me that consensus view on X seems to be that Nithya did election fraud somehow would be an incredibly impressive ground game for the DSA lol

i spent a couple months drinking Kim Kardashian's paraxanthine-containing energy drink and let me tell you: those things are way too strong.

i love local news

incredible clip due to the body language. lander having incredible fluidity and movement and goldman standing like a statue, fully linear, legolike—posture is politics

Very exciting news: notnothing.ooo, the small press which I have begun to help my friends Suspended Reason and @arquipelago.org run, is the recipient of a New Aesthetics grant. To celebrate, we are giving away PDFs of Suspended Reason's “Avatar: Way of Water”: www.notnothing.ooo/books/the-wa...

What have you been reading lately? Looking for some new things to think abt

you gotta be multitudesmaxxing. you gotta be containing soooo many multitudes.

the reason you're not seeing everyone's vibe-coded software yet is that the first thing everyone makes is illegal. it's all decompilation and recompilation, unauthorized clones, apps for piracy, unauthorized third party clients, apps for bypassing terms of service, etc

everything is content especially your interiority

you'd think by now that the british would start asking if the problem with their politics might not be the PM

funniest type of content online is people who are like "i've never eaten a salad, AMA" what kind of secret knowledge do they think they're granted? how would they recognize it?

i'm increasingly interested in sanctification

tabs are probably a bad interface for browsers if you're gonna on the same sites a lot. i don't need to accumulate 1000 tabs that are the same… who's working on this?

it's crazy that elon musk was for a few months the second most powerful person in the US government and he did nothing about direct auto sales. crazy.

the person in front of me on this flight is writing the world's meanest email about how they can't allow someone to expense plane wifi because Meta does not allow accessing any business materials in a public space like a plane

We need to let BYD import cars into the US so the car manufacturing labor force can instead build american data centers.

you're allowed to fall in love whenever you want to

being young is asking GPT 6.5 "is love good" and being old is feeding llama 2 the most beautiful poetry in the human language and hoping it can come up with one more good word

funniest thing about true vibecoding is that it works like 50x better if you have a super strict type system and really obnoxious lint rules but people don't notice because these are opposite dispositions

Dustin Moskovitz getting addicted to bluesky is so funny. The "no gap larger than four hours" label is one of my favorite details on this app. Labellers in general—truly great content.

i personally think the chart shows what you'd expect if you think the internet increases matching efficiency, ie, it's good. it is also very much still acceptable to set your friends up unless your friends are insane.

The source for this claim also says that Palantir caused not just Covid, but also 9/11. He also says that Alex Karp sent hitmen after him. I am not really a fan of Palantir but I do not think this is a credible guy.

trying to convince people to watch Andre Roublev with me

i can't believe the Sophon Lock is real

previous company of the guy on the left here owes me $20,000

one of the better woke 2 pieces—understands that woke 2 must be anti-foundational and have a positive agenda. but I think understanding woke 1 through an excavation of its perversions gives away too much to its critics.

lets goooooooooo

remarkable new Theweleit collaboration

people are furious the site where they propose direct action to destroy data centers is ever down

a lot of people would do better in expanding their influence by editing wikipedia than by posting

most of the conflict on this app is because only the elderly primarily use text-based social media

oklou fans are either gay or user interface designer

Boastful Quaker Oats ad, Chicago 1891

Two data points from a recent drive thru rural Virginia. 1. Many lawn signs saying "No new data centers," "Vote no on data centers," etc. 2. The classic rock channel promoted itself as "Every song chosen by a real human - no AI."

The Kelsey (disability-forward affordable housing developer/advocacy org) is hiring a senior manager of land use/bldg code, who'd lead a coalition for…ELEVATOR REFORM! Remote, pays up to $120k + benefits. Would involve working some with me, happy to talk if you're interested thekelsey.org/careers/

I support a deal over the strait of hormuz because it's a tax on oil. If you're a true leftist you agree.

I don't think this is true. I'd say that billionaires and tech split broadly similarly to the entire country. Which isn't really a huge credit to them but I think there's some revisionism going on.
