Watching the Grammys and what is this megachurch ass bullshit

It's funny how the culture change in Silicon Valley and the decline of exciting, actually disruptive products being produced by Silicon Valley, happened at the same time.

Good idea to turnaround The Washington Post: Start by firing Will Lewis, who hasn’t made anything profitable

Bunch of people mad about fascism who thought not voting was a good way to fight fascism and genocide by showing how big mad you are, ‘fuck outta here

Oh wow things are that bad over there huh?

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

The US has transformed from a (sorta) functioning democracy into a poster regime, a rogue troll state, fueled by internet clout. And the abduction of Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro is likely just the beginning. www.garbageday.email/p/the-rise-o...

Oh, okay

Great, more traffic on the FDR tonight

Mamdani: For too long, those fluent in the good grammar of civility have deployed decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

GET YOUR FLU SHOT

That bitchy doorman at the Bowery two NYWFs ago who told some West Village TikTok influencer having a meltdown that she couldn’t get in: “fuck me? Oh honey the last time you got fucked it was by genetics”

What the fuck man

really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

"Has feminism failed women brought to you by bank of america" is my MKULTRA sleeper agent activation phrase

A month ago, NYT columnist David Brooks wrote a column decrying the media and political fixation on the Epstein story. This afternoon, House Democrats released a new tranche of photos of an event that Brooks attended with Epstein.

These people challenged ICE's New York director of "enforcement and removal operations" in court. They won and the federal judge declared, "Thank you for your advocacy today." talkingpointsmemo.com/news/how-a-h...

interesting about-face -- this was the editor-in-chief of CNET who championed its AI-generated articles even as they had to be extensively corrected for huge numbers of errors back in 2023

The Vanity Fair photographer from the Susie Wiles story. Holy. Shit. www.washingtonpost.com/style/power/...

Yet another lawsuit was filed against OpenAI, alleging recklessness and wrongful death. The latest suit claims that ChatGPT affirmed/fueled a troubled man’s worsening paranoid delusions, leading him to murder his elderly mother before killing himself: futurism.com/artificial-i...

Pretty infuriating: King Gizzard quit Spotify over ethical concerns -- and now Spotify is letting AI knockoffs of its music (with all the lyrics copied verbatim) proliferate on its platform futurism.com/future-socie...

Unhinged to describe the criticism of her journalistic ethics as a "freaksome lynching" when she has not denied any of the allegations and admits to most of them in her book.

Every time someone posts something like this my first thought is oh god what’d Ryan Lizza post now

Also I am pretty sure I could have made out with my number-one celebrity crush but I was on assignment and very carefully extricated myself, while you were all out there banging governors and engaging in regime change? I’m such a loser.

I think plenty of it speaks to the state of the media, but an obvious one is that Vox and Vanity Fair barely investigated her and that she managed to commit an unforgivable journalistic crime before getting a book deal and walking into another prestige job, while plenty of others are being laid off

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

This is absolutely the right response at this point. The ADL has abandoned its right to be taken seriously as a voice of the American Jewish community. Politicians should absolutely meet with a diverse array of Jewish constituents. But the ADL must be ignored and dismissed until it loses influence.

You are actually allowed to protect your peace.

Nvidia isn’t the only Western company worried about an increasingly independent PRC, but it is an important bellwether. In fact, the CEO’s lust for economic superiority and geopolitical dominance over China follows over 125 years of US meddling in the nation’s affairs.

For all of my new followers, welcome to FOSTER AT BLUESKY DOT COM. We’re mostly just travel advice for the Cyclades over here, with the occasional spicy Skeet to juice engagement. Lemme tell you, Hydra in the summer: It’s hot.

When I was canvassing for Zohran a woman walked right up to me and when I asked if she wanted go sign she said “I’m Jessica Ramos” and seemed SO pissed I didn’t recognize her and it’s like well whose fault is that?

no more posting about any of those “writing routines of famous writers” unless it’s Edmund White’s

Team @futurism.com gets RESULTS! After @mharrisondupre.bsky.social was the first to report on Soundcloud's sketchy TOS change forcing users to condone AI, they've now reversed course, and changed their policies: futurism.com/soundcloud-a... Tldr, journalism still matters.
