Claude Sonnet 4.5 is pretty good. Never touch ChatGPT anymore. I also appreciate that Claude assumes you’re literate and doesn’t italicize and bullet point everything.

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

i have some great news for Americans who were previously uncomfortable that you could criticize your own government but not that of israel. it's now equally dangerous to criticize them both

Yeah it's not like Jesus was ever found to have violated the law of an earthly state apparatus.

The Ezra Klein style of caring about political “strategy” over consistent moral principles and values of your own reminds me of how a lot of pop culture consumers obsessively track box office and chart performance rather than just evaluating based on whether things are good or if they like them

i think a lot of ive's mid 2010s designs would unironically slap now given apple silicon. like the 12 inch MacBook, the thinner pro's, even the trash can mac pro

o yea new job haha! working at this startup now. it’s like uber but for cars

it’s a shame grimes turned out to be grimes because my god is Visions a perfect album

the weirdest part about trumps fascist regime is they only seem bothered by people pointing out that’s what it is. i’m just baffled they haven’t just embraced it with a full endorsement already

gonna be real and post a hot take here, know what i’d be okay with ai replacing? basically 99% of dubs

the lifelong american indoctrination that we are a country specifically formed on democracy and that authoritarianism cannot happen here

It's pretty wild to me that investigators have uncovered that anti-trans campaigns are largely funded by the fossil fuel industry, and that the presumed motivations are pretty directly to redirect the public conversation away from climate change... and that this isn't bigger news.

okay and as promised, the bluesky PDS is officially open for returning users to migrate their accounts back! hoping this lowers the stakes & gives folks the confidence to explore some other PDSs in the network! docs.bsky.app/blog/incomin...

every app has a status function but there’s no way to automate the updating / changing of statuses. would be cool if i could set an apple shortcut to let my friends know when i’m in the office or at the gym or something

Starbucks unions are practicing picketing as the company abuses its workers and denies them a fair contract. This is your reminder to not cross a picket line and support workers! NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE.

as president i will make tiktok’s be under 60 seconds again. “this tiktok is 9 minutes long” statements made by the utterly deranged

i think this picture, from a public promo stream for a video games starring one of the most popular comic book characters of all time owned by the disney corporation, should be used on every single story about storefronts taking down lgbt content

chatgpt gets so mad at you when you tell it iOS 19 doesn't exist

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

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...

reminding myself that this website isn’t prepared to handle raids by nazis

absolutely astonishing that voice memos is still a totally separate app from notes

"You're irrelevant on Bluesky!" m8 I was irrelevant on Twitter where I had 110k followers and frequently got over a million views on my videos. It was still just shitposting on a social media site. Deciding that posting is activism has rotted a lot of brains on all sides.

A union that represents university professors published a guide tailored to help its members navigate social media during the “current climate.” The advice? Lock down your social media accounts, expect anything you post will be screenshotted. 🔗 www.404media.co/union-warns-...

its kind of annoying how people have reduced the concept of the male gaze into a kind of useless meaninglessness because it misses out on how for example chainsaw man - enriched in the visual language of film - deliberately deploys the male gaze as part of its narrative theme around objectification!

Stuck on the L8. On a Saturday. Full bus. Barely moving. It’s time for bus lanes @seattledot.bsky.social.

oh god what’s happening

the fact that a sitting US president is talking about antifascism being terrorism should tell you a lot about what he thinks his own government represents

ipads need a “don’t show notifications while locked” toggle like the mac

Our colleagues across Zenimax showing that the best defence against layoffs is a strong union! ✊

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.

I'll admit, I've been crying minimum of 1x/day this week thinking of the death of Charlie Kirk. How could our country have come to this? But today I realized I've spent years confusing that name for the actor Paul Dano. It would've been so young for Paul to go, with so many great roles ahead of him.

iOS sideloading cannot come fast enough

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Like every business, Panic has a curated, themed playlist that plays in our lobby, emanating office-parkily from a weird rock speaker. The vibe goal? 80's-corporate, EPCOT center, inspirational slideshow of Apple II quarterly results, slight unease/discomfort, and personal computer optimism.

so glad to be back in seattle! can’t wait to visit my favorite place; the NFT Museum. how disappointed I would be if it was gone!
