fortnite friday is a talk show that takes place entirely in fortnite, which has nonetheless pulled names as big as gavin newsom, george santos, and the rizzler. I’ve always wondered how @connoreatspants.bsky.social does it, and I finally got a chance to ask him

gonna brag about this episode that covers very important topics like political speech and censorship and sticky moderation, but also opens with tape from my 2am IG story of bbno$ getting 20 people to chant "fuck yeah, twitchcon" at a corporate streamer party

I was on the most recent episode of close all tabs, @morgansung.bsky.social's excellent KQED podcast, talking about twitch's political reckoning. if you for some reason do not already get enough of me on aftermath hours, go listen! www.kqed.org/news/1206199...

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

i hate gay halloween what do you mean you're niche crackship nosferatu

my favorite part of diy halloween is scouring poshmark and buying ridiculous clothing that i would absolutely wear on a regular day but can't justify buying any other time of the year. every year my closet gets more eccentric and more vintage

We (@emilymbender.bsky.social and I) joined @morgansung.bsky.social and team on @kqednews.kqed.org to talk about our book and AI hype -- www.kqed.org/news/1205991...

This is a fantastic episode! Question the AI inevitability narrative and humans are more than their output! I continue to be a big fan of all the work that @morgansung.bsky.social @goosenaut.bsky.social and the entire team does over at Close All Tabs podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

in case you missed it @milesklee.bsky.social came on close all tabs to talk about ai & religion & why people keep falling into delusions after asking chatgpt if god is real open.spotify.com/episode/664V...

joined @morgansung.bsky.social on Close All Tabs at KQED to talk about the AI situation

didn't get raptured once today this is sooo embarrassing

New: 404 Media is suing ICE. We have filed a lawsuit demanding ICE release its $2 million contract with Paragon, a company that makes powerful spyware to break into phones and read encrypted messages. This is expensive for a small outlet but this info is important www.404media.co/were-suing-i...

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity. "To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

before i went on @aftermath.site's stream yesterday, my mom insisted on hanging up her close all tabs tote lol

every time i've liked a joke this week it's felt like this

Following Charlie Kirk’s killing, the government is scapegoating video games again — and completely missing the mark. @nathangrayson.bsky.social and @morgansung.bsky.social explain:

we're talking shitposts and censorship, come watch!!

we did a big deep dive with @aidanwalker.bsky.social explaining the meme references found on the bullet casings, the groyperfication of young people, and why this shooting was, ultimately, a shitpost: disruptive and incoherent www.kqed.org/news/1205620...

This bit, that starts at 28:00 and wraps up the interview, is really well-stated and important.

Super proud of the team for pulling this together in just a few days. Always insightful to hear from @aidanwalker.bsky.social

we did it guys we explained the difference between OwO and uwu on the npr app

mentally preparing myself to explain groypers to my mother

so has anyone heard from the etsy witches lately

It’s my belief that there is a math equation to this, that as you achieve higher decades of age the 4 year +/- window variables should also be adjusted. 30s? +8/-8 40s? +10/-10 And so on. To only befriend folks in your immediate age group is intellectually unhealthy.

girl in front of me at the diy show googled "what is homestuck"

they let me run the close all tabs instagram lol

some of you would hate to hear this but i think everyone in their late twenties should have friends four years older than them and also friends four years younger than them. i always feel like my life is so Put Together but also i feel so young

and this is why i'm sus of age verification laws. none of this is ever secure!!

The only mitigating thing here is that the map doesn't contain PII, just user IDs. But still unbelievable* that this company promoted itself as a safe space for women and asked for driver's license photos and promised to delete verification images and did not and lost custody of 13,000 of them.

new banner ... in my professional era

last week at a happy hour in sf i met someone who had just moved to the bay area and was shocked at how expensive everything was, which, fair. and then she said she could barely afford to uber eats "once or twice a day" the way she did back home
