Billionaires are losing interest in generative AI. They must have found a younger technology.

Tim Robinson's new series The Chair Company on HBO is great. It has keen depiction of humiliation-driven paranoia, the alienation that comes with conspiracism, and the thin line between falling down internet rabbit holes and uncovering genuine corruption that drives conspiracy theory obsession.

Couldn't remember Jon Hamm's name or the name of his character. So I made a discovery

Vonnegut. Sci-Fi and social satire. Brilliant, funny, devastating.

Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe vaporized my understanding of the world and left a more expansive one in its place. 10th of December by George Saunders gave me the obvious but valuable truth that great literature isn't something that stopped happening

Nico Harrison was rightly fired. But Patrick Dumont trying to wash his hands of his (literal) ownership of green-lighting the absolute worst trade in NBA history - holy hell that so, so, so does not exculpate him from his own complicitness in firebombing his own organization.

So ridiculously clutch

thinking about Miguel Rojas again

Word to @miketaddow.bsky.social I’m just saving this for every time Luka does something amazing (which is often)

Stephen Colbert joins the cast of Starfleet Academy.

All the fantasy football apps saying I should pick up JJ McCarthy. Why should I do that?

I'm....not going to dunk on a postpartum mother for being an emotional, illogical wreck...I will, however, question a society that thinks the talking robot is necessary, but vaccines and professional medical personnel are not.

I appreciate that dedicated tech outlets like 404 and the verge (mostly) meet this stuff where it's at and try to seriously engage with the implications of its use while legacy outlets continue to treat it as indistinguishable from actual magic

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

Civil War will feature the first game where both head coaches are shirtless by the second quarter.

people are using this clip as an argument to take Terry off of TV. I think it's an argument to keep him on. Do you think Matt Ryan has a pig dealer? Would he ever say anything this interesting or peculiar?

America is SO BACK!!!

Just wanna remind everyone that “you don’t want these federal charges, brother“ is a quote from a guy in West Virginia who drove through a post office when he was drunk

Alternative title: LSU, are you ok?

No one with an ounce of self-respect would sign this. Also, I suspect this is patently illegal to demand that members of a public body never discuss their work with the public.

All the edgy sneering about "representation" was a way to ironize and therefore obscure the complaint that someone not white was being hired to do a job.

The "anti-woke" backlash was always about white collar labor competition from nonwhites, not hr bullshit. bsky.app/profile/phil...

Unfortunately, reality is only apparent *after* elections.

"Sapiens" is so normal for the first 70,000 years of human history but then goes absolutely buckwild as soon as it gets to colonialism
