Me to my CEO when the cloud is down

Great insight into Trump's appeal to the Southern electorate and its roots in exploitive economics and power by @tressiemcphd.bsky.social @jamellebouie.net and @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social Grew up Philly, now living in NC, I still marvel that a NY tabloid coverboy created such fandom in the South

Language can be confusing esp. on social media. Thread is informative, but OP confuses everyone by thinking passive voice always requires an external actor (rather than, say, we were vague b/c we didn't know the details). Like, I guess I *was not dressed* this morning because I dressed myself?

Yes I checked in a full stack fix before coffee why do you ask

This is so good. I couldn't get over how Klein keeps saying, "how do we compromise to win?" and Coates keeps responding "sometimes you just lose." Klein plays the centrist who hasn't internalized that debating the rights of swaths of Americans is not like debating tax brackets and school bonds.

This is an entire, hilarious McSweeney's of AI boosterism

Ok its ‘feed it off an aux, speak, grunt no strength, the ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height, wire in a fire representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site’.

@wired has a sale that makes the physical copy a great deal, and lo and behold my first issue includes this profile!

Stages of updating my Webflow site after a month gap: 1. Welcome back to our alien spaceship control room! No sudden moves now! 2. Oh, Designer? You need to go through that door over there...let me get that for you...(gears turning sound, followed by thunking of door closing behind me)

Carefully slicing a muffin in half so that someone else in my family can have the other half, then eating both halves.

"At best X and at worst Y" ugh just say "X or Y"

Spending today rediscovering Vigilantes of Love (early 90s Southern Indie Rock, think R.E.M's Driver 8), which I listened to incessently as a freshman after my Atlanta-native roommate took me to a show at the Cotton Club.

Expected this to be a pan of the NotebookLM AI podcast (which went from wow to cringe very quickly for me). Instead it's full of insight about how products can frame LLM capabilities as creative and exploratory instead of authoritative. Anyone developing apps on LLMs should read and reflect on this.
