It is truly dire how much more willing progressive donors are to fund paid ads than to try to invest in making good content.

Amazon have removed the guns from their Bond posters, giving the tantalising impression that Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan think you’re a wanker.

Turning the entire economy into gambling is a self-evidently bad idea lol

Every part of me would like to find Ed Sheeran cringe and unlikable, but he: 1) Likes public transit 2) Flies commercial/takes trains for climate reasons 3) Was randomly hanging out in a Brooklyn bar last week when some older irish folks we met ran into him

Golf seems fine, I don't have a specific beef with golf, but NYC granting Blade a license to fly helicopters low over residential Brooklyn all day during the Ryder Cup absolutely stinks.

New wifi speed just landed.

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

A wild story, AND… what a name. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/u...

I mostly try not to yuck anyone’s bagel order, but If you are in New York ordering a freshly made bagel as: scooped out AND toasted… you might not like bagels.

I get why everyone is dunking on this, but, having trained a very simple model on the ~3 million words I’ve written over the last 25 years, it’s actually very interesting to explore what’s there, to see what’s surprising or where I’ve changed my mind, or where my opinion diverges from its output.

"From 2017 to 2024, she was the Washington correspondent for New York [Magazine]" is definitely a way to describe it.

@dieworkwear.bsky.social okay, what are we seeing here with trump's shoes? is this just the angle? the height on the front of the ankle seems almost like a dress boot. static01.nyt.com/images/2025/...

In theory this might be good for Virginia dems, who don't want an active shutdown they might be blamed for in a November election. But after that... pressure's on, Dem leadership. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

Is it a wedding invite?

really good day to rewatch Margin Call

we are only several years away from the "skibidi shooter" so that's something.

I know there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of the value brought by LLMs, but how can anyone not be slightly delighted by technology you can run on your own (powerful) computer that causes it to draw you an SVG almost-pelican with both visible legs and the caption "🐧🦩 Who needs legs?!"

This is about that line "I stood alone, getting dome, from a thick chicken sandwich" isn't it.

"More troublingly, desirable parks tend to raise property values at their edges" Don't build nice things because more people might want to live there is not a recipe for a city's future. www.curbed.com/article/flus...

Been in SF for less than 12 hours and a 50 year old man is already talking about his most recent book book Burning Man experience loudly enough for me to hear across the cafe.

I missed that Donald Trump Jr. has opened a private club with a $500k initiation fee called The Executive Branch, designed around the idea that—in exchange for money—you get access to extremely important government figures. nypost.com/2025/06/14/u...

Fun to hear this candidate for local office talk tonight. Some highlights: - Talked about reforming regs for building and small biz - Celebrated Zellnor Myrie’s after care for all policy (in a question asked by our 3 year old) - Made it clear he knows the political economy he’s walking into

You wouldn't steal a car.

I do think that LLM-assisted coding of open ends is one of the genuinely promising use cases for the technology, so I hope that continues to develop, but also lol www.langerresearch.com/wp-content/u...

Ok its ‘feed it off an aux, speak, grunt no strength, the ladder start to clatter with fear fight down height, wire in a fire representing seven games, a government for hire and a combat site’.

Trying to put rooftop solar up in NYC a good way to get abundance-pilled. In Australia you call the solar installer and they put it up in less than week.

happy football season, quick reminder that sportsbooks win about 3% of your money on straight football bets, but almost 20% on parlays and same-game parlays. which is why they have all the ads for those and not regular bets (info via NJ Dept. of Gaming Enforcement monthly report, July 2025)
