I am in a restaurant during a relatively slow time of day, “Benny and the Jets” blaring out of the speakers. Almost everyone—workers and patrons alike—quietly mouthing the lyrics in between bites or bits of conversation.

This is such a perfect update! 🙌

Ingram Spark absolutely EXCELLING at offering just the WORST customer service. Every interaction is a new low.

He’s going to blow up the entire country to prevent the release of the Epstein files, isn’t he

That thing where you teach a core-focused class in the morning, then get mild food poisoning from a bad sandwich, and your belly feels like a rock the next day. ow.

Disney has lost nearly $4 Billion in three days from combined stock price collapse and cancelled subscriptions.

“Meta has used back-to-school pictures of schoolgirls to advertise one of its social media platforms to a 37-year-old man, in a move parents described as “outrageous” and “upsetting.” Meta has 100% stopped even *pretending* not to be astoundingly evil. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

You are literally, constitutionally and biblically allowed to do this.

In the midst of my downsizing I keep finding fun things like this: a sketch note compilation from CSS Dev Conf 2014 by @natalyathree.bsky.social . I’ve always loved this, but now it reads like a time capsule. “Goodbye Floats” “Who uses Sass?”

Cancellation is quickly becoming a badge of honor.

Do I have any friends here using @proton.me ? Opinions? Have been simplifying as many things as I can, and am looking for an ethical spot to host mail, photos, etc

Due to Texas redistricting, my District now sends four tributes to The Hunger Games

One of the good things about the Internet, libraries, independent curators—even our own memories—is that factual information will outlive the fascists and fools trying to erase it.

Wow, twitter is just all hate bots at this point, isn’t it.

YOOGE news for people who need to use Futura’s forms across many cultures why should you care? because making type systems in the world’s disparate reading scripts is HARD if your brand uses Futura and sells in India, Africa and the US, everyone has to read in Latin-based letters UNTIL THIS

56% of Black kids are online *almost constantly*. Significantly more than white kids. If being online turned you fascist, Black kids would be leading the charge. If economic anxiety from price of eggs turned you fascist, Black people would be the most fascist. Stop making excuses for fascism.

References to “The Room” should be rare and well-timed, like @matuzo.at’s random “oh hi Mark” moment at last week’s @smashingconf.com in Freiburg. 🐶🏈🎭💃☕️

There are a lot of annoying things about the New York Times but today I realized they moved the mini crossword behind a paywall AND THAT MIGHT BE THE LAST STRAW.

Thread.

The current administration mistook systemic misogynoir and economic frustration for a mandate and their initial dismissiveness is now boiling over. Confusion, disbelief, anger as reality sets in.

This. And that we are still not demanding accountability from those journalists whose cowardice and complicity have created an anti-civics, anti-democracy ecosystem of political discourse amazes me.

they just left the entire bag. is this how they choose a new delivery person??

To be 1000% clear: Democratic Texas State legislators are being forced to submit to 24-7 supervision by law enforcement during the special session on redistricting. This woman refused to submit, and now she is not allowed to leave the capitol building. As Texas Goes …

Any time anyone brings up whatever new shit Meta is up to, I think it's important to remember this is the evolution of a system created to non-consensually compare the relative attractiveness of teenagers. Everything follows from that.

I am begging the entire country and world to finally say enough is enough and regulate tech companies. Colorado is leading some important regulatorywork, including accessibility laws, that we all should be backing

New reporting from @jeffhorwitz.bsky.social, who got hold of internal standards for chatbot behavior at Meta.

Me, just this morning:

part of my resentment towards LLMs is to do with them crowding out anything else we could be talking about. there are so many things I could be reading to get better at my craft but I'm presented with "you should actually get worse at it on purpose because nothing matters any more"

"The world has gotten more and more stupid with time!" Uh, have you considered the other possibility? That maybe it's only stupid to YOU? Because you have quietly grown into the world's greatest genius?

Currently downsizing and “Uncomfortable” has been one of the most satisfying reasons for getting rid of any item.

We said release the files not the accomplices, idiot.

Producing three books in one year means—for me, anyway—consuming frightening amounts of coffee and blueberries.

I suspect we’ll know in a year or two what really went down. Assuming there is still free media somewhere.

New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.
