just this perpetual cycle where the tech press helps zuck pretend he's innovative and interesting, he falls flat on his ass after setting billions in boomer ad money on fire, then all his employees pay the price for him being a pointless, unremarkable dipshit

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans. (Published July) By @andreasuozzo.com, Kavitha Surana and Lizzie Presser

i can fix this my books are open, it will only cost you $3000 graham (i am highly sought after)

Our inaugural editorial lays out the case for why narrow reform is simply not meeting the current moment: dailystruggle.org/uawd-launchi... How can you look at these economic trends and not conclude that something different is needed

Okay this is so incredibly cool, but also makes me wish CSP allowed us to set the radius of a circle beforehand, or lock on a point so the circles become identical and easy to move

> Black founders captured just 0.42% of the $69.9 billion in U.S. venture capital deployed in Q2 From 1.5% in 2020 to 0.4% -- Given these statistics, it's rational for me to deprioritize VCs and focus my energy on funding paths where I face fewer systemic barriers. ft. @dominicmadori.bsky.social

Hi. I wrote an essay about AI slop: How it feels like an invasive species for the internet. How its boosters describe building a future that’s devoid of craft. How frictionlessness can be nihilistic & how this stuff seems to leach part of our shared humanity out of the world. I hope you'll read it.

Here are some perspective tips. Want to see more?

There is a 3rd position 3. I know how LLMs, generative AI and machine learning work (because I'm a computer scientist), and generative AI is absolute, overhyped bullshit The idea that people are against this "tech" merely because of disinterest or lack of knowledge is wholly incorrect

Apotheosis of the Knife

You know how billionaires end up with severe cognitive deficits as a result of becoming surrounded by yes men who constantly tell them their every idea is genius? What if we made a bot that just does that to everyone. I think that would be a good idea.

LMAOOO WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE NEW XBOX HANDHELD COMES WITH MICROSOFT TEAMS AND ONEDRIVE INSTALLED??? this is the fucking goofiest company in games

Cybersecurity was always political. You can't escape effects on defense, intelligence, and even the increasingly flooded industry job market by closing your eyes really hard and sticking your fingers in your ears. You can't escape cybersecurity being political by being, "not really into politics".

hi

last i checked these young republicans were like 25 years old. but this is a classic case of infantilization to diminish the significance of the offense. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

The person who commed this hammer was also interested in the songs I was listening to while I made it, so I made them a playlist and sent it along with it.

Republican officials have spent years psy-oping themselves into thinking that there are no sincere, good faith liberals or progressives anywhere in America. So no wonder they're totally unequipped to deal with a large crowd of normal people waving American flags.

My neighbors have filled the Little Free Libraries with whistles so we can warn each other about ICE. Chicago is not afraid.

Every time something like the GOP chat leak occurs I hear smart people arguing that shame could be a useful tactic. But shame only works if the bad actors think their actions are bad. Hypocrisy, shame, these Victorian-ish norms are just that, norms, guardrails, and they don't work against fascism.

The senior political editor at @salon.com is hellbent on misinterpreting people saying "The republican party has always had racists" with "Every single republican is racist and can never change" (which no one is saying) in an attempt to assuage her own ego and guilt. You are the embarrassment.

Most really have. Your "conversion" from a young Republican to a liberal is evidence of them fooling a young person, not a lack of vitriol on their part. The phenomenon you're describing is the veneer of respectability they used to bother with, which modern ones increasingly discard.

yeah 15-20 years ago they didn't have group chats so they didn't write stuff like that down, they'd just say it out loud to eachother at parties, usually without a paper trail

Bari Weiss launched her own path to stardom with the argument "it is oppression to dislike me for being bad" and now we will get to see what an entire media ecosystem built with that philosophy looks like
