They hate us for our freedom

For my #massachusetts and #boston #BostonMA friends - follow the link for a great deal with a local heritage grain CSA. Lots of heritage varieties of grains, flour, beans, and rice shares. I've been a member for 4+ years now - highly recommend! Hit the link for a 10% discount - […]

It is extremely disturbing to me that I have only seen coverage of this in smaller media outlets, none of the major ones. I know, there is a lot of shit going on in this country and around the world, but "Lynching is Back, Maybe?" is surely a big goddamn story […]

I don't know what EV company got @wired to publish this, but it's a masterclass in stealth marketing. Oh no! EVs are too powerful! (btw there is a valid point here, and I'd like to see all vehicles be safer, but I have to laugh that it's EVs that are leading to this argument and not the garden […]

Thanks to @rednikki for putting together tonight's #bostodon! And it was great to finally meet @skinnylatte#bostodonin person - looking forward to the next one.

I've been a secret fan of The Summer I Turned Pretty and watched the finale with rapt attention - don't judge! I have to say, the entire hour-plus finale episode was just one long barely concealed love letter to Lola Tung and her character, Belly. It's been a long time since I saw a popular […]

I cancelled my Disney plus subscription and so should you.

Cannot wait for this balloon to pop. It's gonna be awesome. And by "balloon" I mean... *waves hands* ...everything around us. https://hachyderm.io/@molly0xfff/115215796031328636

I do not know another way to express to people that trying to appease fascists by “being a good minority” or totally deferring to them publicly has saved absolutely no marginalized group or profession in human history. They are coming after us anyway. Even if you l scold peers for not being nice.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

[Epstein's Victims] One of the things we *know* the DOJ has in the Epstein files are interviews with the children he victimized in Florida. Interviews taken with girls as young as 14. (It's different when you see the victims as adults talking about something that happened years ago. I can […]

Murderous medieval Oxford is a great example of what can happen when everyone is armed with deadly weapons, especially when that population happens to be young and male. And what happened was […]

So we're doing 'Death of Stalin' now. Cool cool... This will end well.

In 1995, renting a room in SF for $200 was the only way I could afford to live there. Seems like a no-brainer. https://cville.online/@Lyle/115124427097944382

AI coding tools are how we are going to learn the hard way that the mere act of coding was never the biggest impediment to releasing faster and more often. The reason AI experiments are failing so often in enterprises is because we now have tons of code with nowhere to go. Agentic systems seem […]

Just read @nathantankus.bsky.social latest newsletter about Powell's fecklessness and this sentence caught my eye: "When your opponent is Donald Trump you escalate in response to threats; you don’t try to appease him." How is this very obvious observation so poorly understood by so many?

[US Pol: NYC] When Trump sends the national guard to occupy NYC it will be about "subway crime." Wait... what's that? They have already been here?? For a long time people hopping the turnstiles and subway crimes have been a political football. Our governor, a Democrat sent in the national […]

10 months ago, a company across the world put my neighbor's access to medical care at risk, giving us 2wks notice that software behind our 40 electric car chargers would be shut down. This is the story of how my neighborhood broke free from this potential disaster […]

Watching Steve Buscemi on Wednesday season 2, and all I ask for is 1 moment of fan service where he says the line "how do you do, fellow kids" Please please Netflix - make this happen

I'm finding it very difficult ATM to do anything other than just drink myself into a stupor every night.

Today I learned that we apparently care about inappropriate use of classified documents. Huh.

This is it - this is the playbook: "soft secession" https://open.substack.com/pub/carmitage/p/its-time-for-americans-to-start-talking

Every Trump voter owes us an apology. Hell, they owe us a lot more than that, but let's start with acknoledgement.

David is truly a man for our times. I still haven't fully recovered from the realization, rather late in my career, that my entire life's work in open source software basically redistributed wealth upwards. It was a sobering experience, and I haven't been the same since. And now I look askance […]

methinks I need to be like the cool kids with the data models and buy a GPU card - I have no idea what I'm doing here. What's a good starting point?

Oh no... I'm gettin' the fuckits... again

New York state has a gem in the Empire State Trail, a system of bicycle routes running a total of 750 miles near the Erie Canal, the Hudson River, and the Champlain Valley, mostly off-road. I just finished a motel-to-motel tour of the Albany to NYC Hudson Valley portion. Except for a 35-mile […]

Already in 1948, prominent jewish voices like Hannah Arendt & Albert Einstein warned the world about the fascist-like policies and brutal terrorism-like tactics of the branch of zionism that were the forefathers of Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud Party. This letter was signed and published in New […]

Currently stuck in @signalapp reg lock Kafka hell. Help. Believe me, I will memorize the steps next time I migrate to a new phone. Yikes.

Baltimore has started treated violent crime like a public health issue. The city is literally "sending social workers," as the law-and-order right derisively puts it. And it's working. popular.info/p/the-secret...

This fascinating, and damning, deep dive into Google search results came my way via @pluralistic: https://housefresh.com/beware-of-the-google-ai-salesman/ I switched to @kagihq as my default search engine more than a year ago. I don't have to worry about hallucinations or SEO spam. The monthly […]
