i’m not crying you’re crying xkcd: Fifteen Years

How broken is today's frontend culture? A friend points out that the median *mobile* page is now larger than a copy of DOOM (2.6 MiB vs. 2.48 MiB), the 75th percentile page is more than 2 DOOMs, and the P90 mobile page is 4.5x the size of DOOM: httparchive.org/reports/page...

Whoops didn't attach images. In the same order

we're the baddies

no one has even bothered trying to convince us there’s a threat from Venezuela. no weapons of mass destruction. nothing. just a war of choice because why not.

“Desire to Pop” https://tante.cc/2025/11/23/desire-to-pop/ > I love the abstraction of the “AI” bubble popping. But the very probably effects haunt me. Been having similar concerns. Except I think things are genuinely worse than most expect. 1/4

pretty easy at this point to just assume anyone with no interest in them coming out is either in the files or has something to do with them being suppressed bsky.app/profile/eliz...

It's noteworthy that in our 21c landscape loaded w technologies marketed for their so-called objectivity, eg. fitness trackers, facial recognition, & generative AI, that the defining concept after all is that of plausibility. The same logic in sentence below applies to AI image generators & LLMs.

In an era filled with tech dipshits who never developed emotionally past the age of 13 & use their wealth to become odious monsters ... ... listen to Steve Wozniak.

Things to unravel in systemic change versus interpersonal " Just because someone's presence makes you FEEL like the way your oppressor/ abuser does , doesn't mean they ARE your oppressor and abuser" " Just because you are kind INTERPERSONALLY doesn't mean you are fighting oppression"

This might be the single funniest thing that has happened during this incredibly cursed year

Much love to all of my trans, nonbinary and gender-nonconforming friends and acquaintances on the transgender day of remembrance. 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans rights are human rights. Here's to a brighter and less bigoted future.

In a world in which people with too much power and influence desperately need to be told and to understand when they are wrong, we are suddenly all inescapably drowning in sycophancy machines.

A U.S. postal worker on Long Island is accused of trying to help a man escape from ICE custody earlier this month, according to a federal criminal complaint: https://gothamist.visitlink.me/YNagDp

to be clear, i think it's great. if you avoid using AI-generated content in your videos (about prehistoric animals, etc), you should get to benefit from pointing that out. if every restaurant is serving food mixed with sawdust, but you're not, you're entitled to put up a sign that says "NO SAWDUST".

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now

line go up

when I was a kid my dad could have kicked my ass because he was an adult. now I could kick my dad’s ass because he’s old. but there was one day between then and now when we were exactly evenly matched. the father/son convergence

Austin Reaves ties up Lakers/Jazz on a 4-pt play. And then Lauri Markkanen forces a 4-pt play of his own. Back to back to close the half!

So if AI succeeds loads of people lose their jobs as they're replaced by AI, and if AI fails, loads of people lose their jobs as the economy crashes?

"You, boy. What fresh hell is this?"

This boutta age like fuckin milk. "He just kept calling me a woman," Draymond told reporters after the game. "It was a good joke at first, but you can't keep calling me a woman. I got four kids, one on the way. You can't keep calling me a woman."

One of the biggest issues with the synthetic text extruding machines is that we have well-formed linguistic output with no accountability. Solution: OpenAI should be accountable for everything that comes out of ChatGPT, period. (And likewise for Google with Gemini, etc.)

The Athletic polled hundreds of players from across the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL about their opinions surrounding how sports betting impacts players — the responses were haunting.

when you go to the answer store and get the answer you ordered, you are not joining in on an intellectual tradition, you’re getting served.

No one demanded the market distorting effects of personalist dictatorship more than capital, they should be happy with their choice. bsky.app/profile/carl...

“they have a lot of problems but they also report some of the biggest, most impactful stories” Turns out they don’t, actually!

This is so good. A few choice quotes -- 'AI is a "normal technology,"... But what we have come to see as "normal" is, in fact, utterly abhorrent, abysmal. Yiyun Li writes a lot in her book on learning to inhabit the abyss of grief. What does it mean to normalize the abyss?'

Didn't get to experience any trippy sky lighting tonight but its ok I have a bunch of devices in my home that can produce various colors of light so it's basically the same thing

I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

10 years after the Paris climate pact, there's some good-ish news. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

they are able to peel back the ACA because its a shitty half measure but if we had gotten real universal healthcare instead no one would dare touch it because literally everybody on all sides would flip out. one more reason why Democratic incrementalism and "pragmatism" is fucking stupid !!!!!

10 years ago : blockchain is the future of banking. if you don't understand you're an idiot 5 years ago : you're a dumbass if you dont get in on the ground level of the nft-do-not-copy.jpg Now : you don't understand the stock market. NVIDIA can only grow until it's the only company in the world
