Do you think any of them have said "going moon mode?"

Happy media literacy day

Happy trans day of visibility. Fix your hearts or die.

Sugarcane field during a controlled burn. We watched for maybe 20 minutes while a group of day laborers caught rodents and bunnies running out of the field, on fire, and put them out of their misery out our school bus windows. Then they gave us sugarcane pieces to suck on.

Anyone who has ever studied labor movements and/or capitalism can tell you that technological leaps don't decrease workloads, they raise quotas. Why would AI be any different?

Chalamet isn't "wrong" but the conversation around his comments have pointed at the symptoms of the problem instead of its root: status symbols for cultured wealth have changed and the market for the old status symbols (opera, ballet, theatre) are fading without any safety net to back them up.

You're going to see a lot of people freaking out about oil (WTI) prices tonight and tomorrow and what I need you to understand is that when oil starts spiking it doesn't mean just gas prices at the pump go up. It means _everything_ gets more expensive.

There’s gotta be a better way to support news and media than this

Watching a lot of friends and acquaintances who should know better share misinformation regarding Israel/Iran/the Middle East on social media

Block? The company FKA as Square? The one that, for some reason, owns Tidal? That one?

I've seen multiple LinkedIn posts in the last few weeks for people announcing their new jobs as "LLM Growth Managers" or similar, basically working in-house to trick GPT tools to recommend their brand/product. Kind of feels like its giving away the game a little bit, no?

Feels like a story built for a @garbageday.email and @matt-levine.bsky.social crossover (everything is insider trading part 4,080 featuring Mr. Beast) www.npr.org/2026/02/25/n...

I'm about two and a half hours into Cairn and this game is both gorgeous and sometimes incredibly frustrating. youtu.be/6Ejphz8fY0A

Hootsuite has issued CEO letter on the company's continued working with ICE and other US gov. agencies. TL;DR: "What we're seeing is wrong. Yes we work with ICE. No we don't track you. Will we continue working with ICE? No comment." www.hootsuite.com/letter-from-...

I actually guffawed at this. Meta's CPM is not only "sub-$20" but usually closer to like $12 even with targeting layers applied. There is zero proof the ads even work, and I have to imagine they aren't letting advertisers in on the targeting or conversion tracking side of things...

Would love to not have to keep reposting this. The violence displayed in the video is horrific. You don't need to watch it. The descriptions are accurate.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

Pairing this with photos from Minnesota today and the only words I can come up with are "Gestapo-like." It feels beyond the pale that we are well past the point of "checks and balances" now. We have a poorly trained and highly armed domestic army terrorizing a city at the behest of the President.

Panic World's episode from Minneapolis is out this morning. You can watch it on YouTube and anywhere you get your podcasts. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cjx...

This has been the thing that keeps coming up with every Head I've commiserated with. Weir was a musical hero but maybe even more than that, he was the last man standing in the spotlight from a group that have created a musical legacy and a community of cultural misfits.

The most fiery of performers I’ve had the joy to see in my life, and perhaps the one most in touch with his own mortality, his legacy, and what he’d leave behind. Fare thee well, Bobby.

For as long as I've been managing social teams, I've had to teach them how to disable autoplay to avoid seeing, without warning, police killings, genocidal violence, and now POV footage of ICE murdering someone. I really hope one day soon I won't feel the need to have that be part of training.

Settings > Content and Media > Autoplay videos and GIFs > Off/unchecked

Tips for following coverage of protests in Minneapolis:

Video footage of a murder is, by any definition, "graphic media" and deserves a speed bump before people who have autoplay on see it without warning. People can watch if if they _want_ to but nobody should be exposed to violent imagery without warning.

Important note with this: Autoplay settings are local to your device. Turning it off on mobile doesn't mean it's off on desktop.

Since we're doing this discourse again: people on every platform got a lot more comfortable with bullying others over the last 5 years. Most of the "power users" of other platforms have since migrated here. It's a problem, but you can and should simple mute and block assholes at first offense.

Hate to be that guy asking questions to the void of the internet but: anyone know whats up with the AQI/smog in NYC today?

Yelling on Bluesky that the Mamdani administration should leave Twitter and exclusively post on Bluesky is the most NYC DSA and removed from the big picture coded thing I've seen today and yes I will be limiting replies to this post.

Here is a handy instructional guide

If you need some music to have on but also (reasonably) don't want to hear the same 12 Christmas songs over and over, may I recommend WKCR's annual BachFest? Today through the 31st, new and old interpretations of Bach. (Listen button on the top right) www.cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/story/b...

I have been working on something around this, what marketing folks have been calling "proof of craft", in reaction the the slop-ification of our feeds. Luxury brands were quick on the uptake after posts any CG/animated art got handfuls of "is this AI?" comments. Others are likely to follow soon.

Rolled credits on Skate Story last night. Very cool game with some great one-liners and visuals, but the ending seemed to drag on. Multiple times I thought "surely this is the end" and then no, there was another chapter. Fun controls and worth picking up if you need to kill a few hours this holiday.
