Honestly? Spot on.

I live for this shit

Ezra Klein 🤝 Neera Tanden Despite the overwhelming popularity of abortion rights in all states, we should surrender instead

*starts watching a Ilya Sutskever lecture* "We all know we are living in unusual, and often very confusing times, because of..." Climate change? The rise of fascism? Misinformation? Democracy's failure to halt the consolidation of capital's power? "...because of AI. Obviously." *stops watching*

not represented in these numbers: 43% of them think the question is about the shadow government being run by Joe Biden and George Soros

remember when that photo of Elon’s gaming pc in the whitehouse was posted and someone worked out the GPU was a 4060 www.tomshardware.com/pc-component...

This wonderful, funny piece perfectly captures my complicated feeling about Eno, who has been a big influence on my thinking - an influence which I question more and more as the years go by. A "yes!" & a "hah!" In almost every paragraph. Free read here (the LRB is well worthy of support) :

I saw that. Not only mine, a whole load of folks’ stuff in there.

not sure if he's aware of this, but man the AI generated digital matte paintings in the backgrounds of this low budget SF movie look a LOT like @ianmcque.bsky.social's work :/ youtu.be/S4ay7xulYLg?...

TECH PROSPERITY DEAL

these people are genuinely idiots

Does anyone know who was president in 2018?

has anyone pointed out yet that timothy olyphant in alien earth is just doing ANGEL BOY impression from tim and erics bedtime stories and i mean this as a huge buckaroo compliment @timheidecker.bsky.social youtu.be/TXALdmL7FeU?...

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

ah, well

Well, I think we have confirmed that the revolution will not be televised

Tonight in Critical Perspectives of Tech in Edu, we are watching #tresdancing from Screening Surveillance www.screeningsurveillance.com by @savasavasava.blackskycomra.de & team. Check out about.illinoisstate.edu/edunowlab/cr... for a convo w/sava, @timmaughan.bsky.social & L. Marshall (scroll down)!

I regret nothing, I don't apologize, kiss my ass.

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.

btw @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app you guys need to give users the ability to ACTUALLY lock our accounts to both external and internal users - and you need to do it ASAP - before the whole platform just becomes a data mine for US agencies that are building lists of "enemies of the state"

Yes. The rest of us can learn that if one keeps repeating the same absurd maxim, backed up with plausible-sounding pseudoscience, we too can transform ourselves into a marketing vehicle potent enough to overcome both common sense and toxic workplace allegations and achieve sustained press coverage

if you read one thing today, make it this absolutely devastating piece from a fact-checker who quit the New Yorker bidoun.org/articles/hou...

Neat things happening in the anti-repression and anti-surveillance hacker world.

won’t someone do something about this anti-free speech wokeness that’s destroying American campuses www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Do not put your name on a website to register for a rally in this political climate. What the fuck's wrong with y'all. Are there any people of color that work at this org who might knock some sense into your peach colored heads.

and he’s clearly had enough of Ezra Klein’s shit

I’ve been scared for the US a lot over the last (well, fucking decades tbh) year but as of yesterday and whatever that live-streamed fascist pantomime was I’m genuinely terrified

Let's check in with The Argument, the magazine pitched as a "group of left-leaning writers and journalists... arguing in favor of what liberalism is for, rather than just what it’s against." Oh.

TNC identified as the last well known American columnist with a spine: www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

No way Netanyahu was behind Kirk’s death, his wife and kids are still alive.

Notorious antisemite Candace Owens illustrates the longstanding feud between the Groypers and Kirk.🧵

It says a lot how liberals accept the framing of fascists implicitly that any distinction is made between people "wrongly accused" of dishonoring a world class piece of shit and those who did when the punishment is so unearned and insanely disproportionate to any imagined harm.

so the answer is no then

oh hey look it’s what @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social calls “doing politics the right way” www.mediamatters.org/charlie-kirk...

Now available online in english: Naoki Urasawa interviewing Katsuhiro Otomo about his work and his manga "Domu" during one hour. "Manben" is such a great TV program. >> www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/...

I hate this and also it’s fascinating. @timmaughan.bsky.social wrote a story about the algorithmic divide in like 2017 because of course he did 😭 thelongandshort.org/forecasts/di...

This post that a friend of my partner's shared on FB potentially explains the Kristin Chenoweth thing, and is frightening.

When you’re the paper of record and have definitely understood the franchise up until this point

whatever your political views I think we can all agree that the dead fascist guy used to be really good at being an alive fascist guy, you have reached your free article limit please subscribe for more brave and important reporting in these troubling times

just pausing for a second to think about how fucking creepy our society is where you can search for and find a complete stranger's decade old family photos, and how we've normalized (both that and making them available in the first place) as completely fine

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

this isn’t a bad taste joke btw because it’s not a joke, I guarantee you this sentence will make perfect sense in about 6 weeks time

one of the best games of 2024, highly recommended

think of the anime waifu people are going to make for him in the digital afterlife powered by Nvidia GeForce Experience™
