The Master

he wrapped this one up in about 30 seconds. you figure there are about one million kids enrolled in new york city schools. if he spends ten hours a day on the phone, seven days a week, he will have personally informed every child of tomorrow's snow day by the spring of 2028

Still thinking about "light trespass."

i like video games and think there should be a sustainable industry for me and my very cool and talented friends to keep making them :)

I will keep saying it because it remains painfully true: these tech dudes hate human beings. They hate us. They hate embodiment. They hate lived experience.

Allowing the least cool people in America to think they matter to real culture is one of the biggest reasons you can't trust the media. Bill Maher is pitching to like 8 people but the execs who make shows agree with him so he gets a show. Epstein Class shit.

erin reed’s latest trans safety map, which i think is one of the uncontroversially good things she does. trans people who rely on formal means for hrt face legal persecution if not forced detransition in half the country. there’s not a single safe for trans kids. the cis silence is deafening

Thanks to @tractorbeamearth.bsky.social for the guest editor gig and thanks to @sallyfisherprice.bsky.social for helping me shoot this video, to close out the winter issue, Thaw.

And the thing is that they NEED it to be the only technology that matters The growth-at-all-costs model is cancer and generative AI is the purest example of it. They need to eat all the resources they can get, all the investment, just to keep it afloat. They need other technologies to be starved

A really excellent example of someone who knows what they’re talking about, and an interviewer who lets them offer that information in useful ways.

I wish that once, one time, the people responsible for miscalculating business so badly were held accountable for their failures. It's always the laborers who suffer while the most highly paid mistake-makers maintain positions of power. And they're likely to just continue that kind of destruction

"free/cheap/non-toxic youth sports" feels like one of those skeleton keys that would have knock-on effects accidentally fix 100 unrelated things about America or, you know, even if it didn't, at least a bunch of kids would be able to have fun playing sports

Shaxx knew what was up.

One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés

Wow Signal

This May we are getting BOTH a new Murderbot book by @marthawells.com , AND a new Radch universe book by @annleckie.com ! It's time to get excited. www.thefrumiousconsortium.net/2026/02/18/s...

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

Toss up between Rise of Skywalker and Into Darkness.

AI is revolutionizing the world! A Playstation now costs $5,000 and this is the last phone you will ever own.

And yet, every day, our most prominent Democratic politicians, scholars, public intellectuals, universities & university leaders, & other civil society organizations continue to use his platform as their primary social media outlet. One cannot help but notice this & draw conclusions.

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹) RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

His alleged mistress left her precious heated blanket on the other plane, so Corey Lewandowski demanded the pilot turn the plane around to go get it. When he refused, Lewandowski -- who has zero authority to fire anyone at any time -- tried to fire the pilot IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FLIGHT.

I understand framing the AI bubble RAM supply crisis in terms of stuff like video game consoles because nerds can conceptualize that but the framing does really undersell the sheer magnitude of how it's going to fuck up everything that even touches a computer.

if you asked me to diagnose the western game industry's current problem it would start with "landlords have absorbed basically all disposable income"

I know it's meant in good faith but "if we just made smaller scope games and charged 20-40 dollars for them it would fix the industry" is very funny to me. indies release like 20 of those a week on steam. are you buying them? is the industry fixed? no? hm. sounds like you need a different solution

He went down in the snow storm and I worried they’d just put him away until fall but he’s back and better than ever. Somebody left him a valentine.

Graham Platner—like anyone else!—is welcome to do the work to be a better person now than he was then. But: “Sorry, you don’t get to be elected or appointed to federal office,” is a valid consequence, and one that we do not hold our representatives to nearly as often as we should.

ICE using the same ruse that Ted Bundy used to kidnap people should tell you something.

LISTEN UP FUCKOS, TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS (Call your reps to thank them for this. Seriously, it gets tallied as a mark in the "support" column when they look at caller data, which drives their prioritization)

these people are sociopaths

Oh my GOD King County Public Health is just wilding out for Valentines Day (and a lovely one).

*stands up* I believe the saying “no one should die in America because they can’t afford healthcare” applies even to people I don’t personally like or share the personal views of and that it’s weird anyone thinks otherwise.

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.
