If Dimes Square was shorthand for the downtown post-ironic horseshoe'd to right wing Substack glitterati, I think we should start using Hudson Square as shorthand for the new wave AI accelerationist Palantir chore coat wearing bag chasers

For so long I thought F1 was the most deeply unserious sport, but no, every four years I am reminded... it is soccer.

Was setting up ads directly in Meta Business Manager for the first time in a long while yesterday and holy shit the amount of "AI enhancements" they try and force on to you every step of the way is astounding. Started making a lot more sense why there is such a glut of slop ads on Instagram now.

Trans rights are human rights, political funding should not tip the scales of American democracy, and the constitution says what it says. Other than that, I'd simply remind my friends to not post anything they wouldn't want to see quoted on Fox News tonight. (That's what the group chat is for.)

Jackass: Best and Last made me oddly emotional

44% of social marketers think their boss doesn't understand social. Instagram is still the number one priority for social teams. A lot of teams want to create serialized video. All this and more in Pt. 1 of the results from Link in Bio's annual vibe check survey: www.linkinbio.news/p/social-med...

after 2 years and change at compulsion games, i'm looking for work! if you've been waiting for a chance to work with me, pls inquire within 👁️ bijanstephen.blog/about

The good shit. It’s hard to explain the energy in the city the last few weeks. The rallying cries, high-fives, nods, and “yerrs.” The feeling in the air that great things are possible. All I can offer this morning is a sincere thank you. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/14/n...

Having a great time in all these new group chats with my friends! They're all here too, just out of frame.

Greatest city on earth. Bing bong.

Just saw someone doing DoorDash deliveries in a polychromic painted Cybertruck

Fireworks going off in Bed Stuy. Bing bong.

Lol would you pay $2.99 per month to... change the font on your Instagram bio?

The only take I have on the Ferrari/Jony Ive EV is that they should have never branded it/badged it as Ferrari and used this opportunity to start an EV sub-brand instead. The car looks _ok_ I guess, but it definitely doesn't "look like a Ferrari."

The new boomerslop trend of using AI to generate anti-AI comics is truly the lowest rung of engagement bait on this or any other social media platform.

Extremely sudden loss. Busch won a race just last weekend and I think it was only announced he'd been hospitalized earlier today. His stat line is unrivaled. A helluva driver with an elbows out style. RIP.

For the first time since 2020 I am flying somewhere for a meeting and flying back in the same day. I’ll be on the ground for less than 8 hours. This feels doubly neolithic considering I was on a video conference with the same people for two hours yesterday.

Before the show the people behind me were trying to teach their friend what mpreg is (but had to start with slash fic first), after the show there is a line of people waiting to take a selfie with a connection conspiracy board of people named in the Epstein files. Well done @garbageday.email.

Most interactions I see re: AI accelerationism online are rooted in either: the pro-AI person is operating from a place of fear ("if I don't do this and the snake oil salesman is right, I will lose everything") or a place of greed ("if I can con more people into doing this I will be rich.")

Don't they know you can just post on Bluesky and people will find every typo and error for free?

Every job is content creation/every industry is marketing now (but for a band to "make it big" the music still has to be good.)

For all of you who celebrate Avril 14th Day, I assembled a genre-bending ambient MEGAMIX. Spanning from soft jazz and shoegaze to jungle and chiptune, each of the 39 tracks is Avril 14th, just like every day should be. soundcloud.com/rasmusfleisc...

It is 2011, there is trouble in the Middle East and I am listening to new Wu Lyf. It Is 2026, there is trouble in the Middle East and I am listening to new Wu Lyf. wulyf.bandcamp.com/album/a-wave...

I finally remembered to use the app and have discovered a White-throated Sparrow has nested outside my bedroom window so I have been waking up (early) to this sound for the last few days www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/White-...

On one screen writing an ad about cool jackets, on my other screen writing messaging to clients that we should probably stop posting from this evening through tomorrow.

We're in a race to the first "PAIN AT THE PUMP" newspaper A1 shot aren't we?

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.

I still don’t know much about baseball but happy opening day to those who observe

Tedeschi Trucks at the Beacon with a smattering of sit ins including…. Cyndi Lauper?

Looks like shit 👍

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.
