Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

The right wing is so fully astroturfed that they genuinely cannot comprehend organic behavior

[Oreo cookie CEO]: People not liking Oreos is destroying society.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

i bought the domain ohhh.lol a while back just because and the other night i noticed it gets like 100-150 unique hits a day from people typing it in their posts and group chats where it tries to load the url preview. so i hope this annoys some people while they're trying to get their mack on

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

“Kirk did not commit violence, not because he abhorred it, but because committing violence was someone else’s job.” every sentence of this piece is sharper than the last but this one is gonna stick in my head for a long time. one of the most incisive useless wordpiles i’ve read all year.

good piece with an incidental insanely brutal takedown of klein

Honestly at this point I think Bandcamp would be better served by developing a more substantial social review aspect of the site a la Letterboxd. Where else (that isn't evil) has a better vantage point for that?

spent twenty minutes of my christmas morning putting together my starting 22 of beloved christmas characters

would’ve been an all time sports highlight reel play and instead it’s just another in a long line of METICULOUSLY DELIBERATED ADMINISTRATIVE DECISIONS

“lions lose by scoring a touchdown” is a new one. i’ll give em that.

the word ‘disgruntled’ implies the existence of a ‘gruntled’ state of being

unlocked a new new parent brain achievement today: tapped an egg for my son’s breakfast on the bowl i’d set next to the sink and then cracked it straight into the drain. incredible stuff.

It hasn't even been twelve hours, but all three of us have been overwhelmed with requests from media for comment and I'm mostly writing this now so they'll leave me alone.

One of the ways you can see this is driven by an industry looking for some way to make itself profitable? No one has shown any concern that students demonstrate basic competency with computers before enrolling (or graduating)—and, many do lack that.

im lucky to know so many wonderful kind people and this fucking country makes life so unnecessarily hard on everyone. it’s beautiful to me that people still retain their beating hearts

can't stop watching this clip of a tesla Optimus teleoperator taking his headset off before properly logging out the robot

i’ve had this song in my head since we shot this this past summer. an s-tier pop song. it was so fun to learn/play it live.

i setup a Quicklink for UDM14.com with dynamic placeholders in Raycast so now I can get ten perfectly AI-free blue links as fast as I can type. Highly recommend: "https://www.google.com/search?q={Query}&udm=14"

I've been thinking about media platforms in the #Fediverse geared around artists. I think the network is in dire need of having support for commerce. Not "Big Capitalism" commerce, but the ability for people to buy/sell things, support projects, and commission people to keep making stuff.

NEW: Welcome to the Great AI Bubble. Yes, it’s here. And yes, it’s going to burst. It’s also got way more in common with the Epstein scandal than you really want to know. open.substack.com/pub/broligar...

@wingedwheelpodcast.com ras listens to the pod (confirmed) and you guys have been hurting his feelings (needs confirmation)

Ah. Private equity.

hello i wrote a blog post about getting laid off last halloween, four days before i was supposed to return to work from maternity leave

Testing publishing a doc on @leaflet.pub to see where all the bits n bobs go.

Interchangeability is what new social platforms like Bluesky and Mastodon are doing, though with different technologies and different ideas on how to do it. When you hear talk about decentralization, it's about making the social platforms interchangeable to solve the neutrality problem.

I am just so fucking proud of her.

the most horrific idea in return of the living dead is that zombies walk like that because they're cramping all the time

i'm trying to figure out how to express the importance of the fediverse to my creative pals/artist friends/fellow dumbs/undiagnosed adhd havers and I think I've got the basic pitch down to: we're all gonna need to get on the fediverse before we _need_ to get on the fediverse

You don’t need to become an expert on AT Protocol, you don’t need to learn to code, but I really do want to impress upon people that “federated social media” is a vitally important concept in a time of global authoritarian and technofeudalist consolidation.

i wrote 200 words about one battle after another

Access to the internet shouldn't be a mandatory requirement of belonging to a society. People should be able to use physical currency, and receive physical mail, and connect with actual human beings when they have problems.

New song "Nix It" is on streaming now. This was the first thing I came up with after seeing Cornelius last year and I think it shows. Kind of some Panda Bear shit too though

I'm really proud to work at a media company that isn't made up of cowards, that can say All of This Is Really Fucking Bad over and over again because it is. defector.com/charlie-kirk...

all i’ll say is that all this has done is remind me that he gave rush limbaugh the medal of honor

9/11 is a great time to remember that the imperial power will seize on any opportunity to do what it was going to do anyway, especially if it gets to do it under the gaudy pagentry of being the Aggrieved

The AI bubble fears are getting worse. Wall Street doesn't want to talk about it. Wall Street finds itself caught between optimism and anxiety, deploying different vocabularies depending on which side of the ledger it's addressing. qz.com/ai-boom-bubb...
