Not sure who made this, but probably the most accurate representation of the current state of tech to date

So this ad revenue metric is indicative of such a fascinating and weird set of business decisions by Google to inexplicably kill of SEO-- and I honestly don't get how they think this is going to pay off for them in the long run. 🧵 1/

In a short piece for @techpolicypress.bsky.social, @abeba.bsky.social and I write #AIHype Is Steering EU Policy Off Course. Stop peddling in unscientific discourse about “AGI” and “superintelligence.” Serve citizens. Don't cater to the whims of tech CEOs. www.techpolicy.press/ai-hype-is-s...

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Introverts are really nice until you break their trust. Then they’ll cut you off and disappear without a word. Don’t mistake their kindness for weakness

never do business with family. or friends. or acquaintances or strangers. just lie still in a dewy glade until the screeching of locusts drives unto you the foretold ecstasies.

The State of the Republic is Grim

Hey, you idiotic propagandists at the New York Post: God Bless America isn't the national anthem. It's a SHOW TUNE written by Irving Berlin.

endlessly embarrassing that the powers that be here banned Link. just disqualifying.

FACT CHECK: STILL TRUE😎

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

Jess Waters recycling the same guy over and over to represent “former” different enemies

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

The Norwegian owners of OSLO CARRIER 3, the Russian crewed ship suspected of launching the drone attack on Copenhagen, are deeply tied to a Russian paramilitary organisation RSB and by extension, security service FSB. danwatch.dk/droneangreb-...

not true

The Russia will win narrative is unravelling in real time. Trump did more than anyone to spread that idea. In two days he has crapped on everything he said for years before. The intelligence on Russia must be devastating.

There's no more fitting tribute to Charlie Kirk than the one they're giving him right now: nominally Christian survivors on the same grift clambering over one another for more publicity, capped by the shambling, lurching embodiment of everything they long to be. You couldn't write anything meaner

It's like a guy warning every woman he meets that he has a big dick. Also, he doesn't have a big dick.

Dutch late night TV has its take

This will carry on until you'll start shooting them down. Erdogan is of course a sack of shit, but he knew how to deal with such problem.

packing kids lunches is always like, hey food—see most of you later today

Elon sharing the name of 66 random not-famous people to his many millions of followers because this person said they said things she didn’t like about Charlie Kirk. I erased the names and employers from the screenshot but you can see their jobs. Nurses, teachers etc.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Keep picturing Patel dropping the casings in terror after reading “if you read this youre gay”

A lot of people have called out the Republicans for their hypocrisy on Charlie Kirk's murder (and yes, I'll call it what it is), but all of them tend to focus on "so it's bad when a Republican is killed but not when it's a Democrat." And I think that's missing a more subtle but more pressing issue.

Well, what did you expect — Putin is already bored with simply having a daily bloodbath on the front line in Ukraine and burying Ukrainians under the rubble of their homes every night. He revels in the war, in the mass killing of people, in the terror of war he projects onto the entire West.

Evergreen

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

I’m sorry, I know nobody asked for my Ghibli power rankings, but now you’re gonna get them! 🧵

URGENT: If you have ANY information about Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s whereabouts and/or the process to send him to Uganda, PLEASE message me on Signal: marisakabas.04 Your anonymity will be fully protected. I know it’s scary to speak out, but this is a man’s life.

You don’t understand, that unread stack of books is load-bearing. Not for the shelf or anything, just the idea I have in my head of the person I’d like to be one day when I finally get my shit together

This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read

It’s wild that the most unrealistic part of Terminator 2 is now the idea of a tech founder being told their creation will enslave humanity and they decide to destroy their product & company.

I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

My friend Eslam has had her account removed by bluesky moderation. This is not the first time. I want to tell you what she said happened to her, but first, i’d like you to see Eslam’s campaign, since she is apparently not allowed here to share it herself. bit.ly/artist-eslam (1/?)

So Bluesky has decided to remove @jamalzuhir.bsky.social who has been on here for well over a year, doesn’t spam and has only ever had one account so he was never removed before.

The concept that LLM use and reinforcement follows, in our heads, the same mental pitfalls used by psychics, gambling scams and cold readers, as covered here, is interesting: softwarecrisis.dev/letters/llme...

okay I’m sorry but can we drop the pretense that these are just fancy baked goods? I’m not saying it's jesus risen from the bread but these toasts have at least a little baby jesus in there, hiding somewhere in the dough

Every Reason Why I Hate AI and You Should Too malwaretech.com/2025/08/ever...

watching you dildo brain cock suckers play w/ AI shit is like watching a dog paw at one of those puzzle boxes that you put treats inside of

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by LLM madness, mindless hysterical sloppers, dragging themselves through enshittified apps at dawn looking for an "efficiency" fix, vapid-headed techbros burning down the ancient heavenly connection to the cognitive skills they outsourced

Zichro L'MAAPACHA May his memory be for the revolution ❤️‍🔥 The activist & writer Awdah Hathaleen-- who worked on the film NO OTHER LAND, & brought so many Jews, Israelis & others to Umm Al-Khair to teach abt the realities of settler violence, was murdered by a West Bank settler w/terrorist record. +

Now Anthropic is strongly considering weekly limits on Claude Code. Users making it clear they won't accept this or pay more than $200 a month. I am confident this happens because as my analysis suggests they are losing tons of money on each user! www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeCode...

I woke up this morning with a map thought in my head, and here it is:

The other day I drew a subway-style map for The Hobbit, and it was very well received. Some of you asked if I could do one for LoTR, so I have! Forgive the eel watermark; I'm working on making these something you can buy, if you like.
