@downtownjoshbrown.bsky.social conflating congress people trading on inside info (which I hate) and what is going on on Kalshi (which I also hate) is disingenuous and you know it. You can be team green without trying to insinuate they’re the same thing.

“Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary, a *lodestar* for MAGA culture warriors and right-wing populists in Europe…” @thepressbox.bsky.social. Even for only in journalism words, that’s quite something.

I do not believe in reveling in other's misfortune. That said, Allbirds were the ugliest fucking shoes I have ever seen, I never understood why people were losing their minds over them. That they were Sillicon Valley's favorite sneaker tells you all you need to know, that bastion of taste and style.

@dkthomp.bsky.social I have a winter Negroni recipe for you. Replace the Campari with Sfumato. It's a rhubarb amaro that gives it this wonderful smoked characteristic, which is perfect for the cold weather we're having right now versus the brightness of a regular Negroni. Let me help you think.

uh holy SHIT?

On DOGE’s watch, federal spending did not go down at all. It went up. But is still led to cuts that closed offices, canceled programs and deprived people of food, medicine and other aid. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/23/u...

@joelanderson.bsky.social @thepressbox.bsky.social @bryancurtis.bsky.social suggest pointing your listeners to bookshop.org - still convenient online purchasing but the orders are fulfilled by independent bookstores!

@bryancurtis.bsky.social “Full stop” is how *the rest of the English-speaking world* says “period”.

@reckless.bsky.social who is on the “What is a photo?” beat while you’re out? www.theverge.com/news/703885/...

This is an excruciating read, which only underscores how much worse it is for the people on the ground. nymag.com/intelligence...

I’d sacrifice all of these voice features for AirPods where the person I’m speaking to could hear me while I walk down the street. I am having to go back to talking into the handset much of the time #wwdc

@reckless.bsky.social I can’t wait for this week’s edition of “What is a photo?”

@thepressbox.bsky.social only in journalism - “argot”. Spotted in NY Mag’s profile on Kathleen Kingsbury. “She is perhaps best known for being “ambitious,” which in the argot of the Times tends to be an insult.”

thibs lost, saved, and lost his job

Re-sharing in light of Zuck deciding we should all have AI friends: open.substack.com/pub/davidngi...

@reckless.bsky.social I think we need a Go90 scale of jobs that are now increasingly likely to send you to jail (and we’ll open the bidding on Editor-in-chief at….40?)

So…kinda like OpenAI sucking up all artistic creation and not paying for it?! www.nytimes.com/2025/01/29/t...

As per usual, Cory Doctorow saw a violent uprising against insurance companies long before it happened in real life: bookshop.org/p/books/radi...

I need a utility that accesses my curated groups on Twitter and then either finds those people here or suggests similar follows.
