Sorry @jonweisman.bsky.social

My counterproposal: Every high school should be mandated to have a Linda Lindas room.

Just over half of TikTok users (55%) say they regularly get news on the app, up from 22% in 2020. Check out our latest research on social media and news:

I can't say that about me and rectangles, but I love all of this and that's a naming of something I've struggled to find when I write.

cop who does crossfit barges in: okay, you two get out

Things we learned from my wife being profiled by Campus Reform a few years ago: - Be careful responding to emails from people you don't know asking about your research - Don't list your office location on your university web profile page

Maybe we are living and have been living in the tribulation and nobody got raptured

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

The weather here is like a six on the Upper Midwest Summer Overcast dial. Maybe seven.

They've lost the 9yos

"Have you ever wiped out when surfing, or taken a spill off a bike or from a high place? Dying is like that. A sudden tumble of what should be familiar things whipping around and the feeling you can't just yet track which way is the way you should be."

I swear these cables were organized before the bottom on the box fell out.

CHOTINER: This game you like to play, what's it called? ME: Slay the Spire. CHOTINER: And you play it on the computer? ME: Yeah. Well, I also have it on my phone. I played another 300 hours. CHOTINER: And these other games in your Steam library. Have you finished them? ME: Now hold on a second,

This story is wild. Even for crypto. Worth a read.

Reporters tracking all this Antichrist talk from Thiel et alia need to talk with real biblical scholars about the concept of the Antichrist (spoiler: this title was for people who opposed temporal power; only in Revelation does it get eschatological).

A lot has been made of how weird the end of Society is. Let me assure you, the whole movie is very weird.

U.N. official says President Trump’s own team was responsible for the “broken” escalator and teleprompter he complained about incessantly. trib.al/Xv5xfZd

If I got a voice mail from Chotiner, I would stop everything I've done with my life, burn all my output, flee under an assumed name, and spend the rest of my days trying to do nothing but feed people.

CHOTINER: But you’ve had romantic entanglements in the past. For instance, Lucy Westenra? DRACULA: Tragic case. The poor girl. CHOTINER: Died of acute blood loss, I believe? DRACULA: Attacked by a wolf, I think. CHOTINER: You can turn into a wolf, right? DRACULA: That’s right. CHOTINER: Thank you.

Iono it feels like Chotiner is kryptonite for a very particular type of person and it’s to our collective shame many of those people exist in a sphere of power and influence.

Lmaooooooo

TOMORROW @ 6am PT/9am ET/3pm CET Journey behind the scenes of Herdling with the @okomotive.ch team! From concept to design (and re-design!), explore the process of creating the game’s art, sound, incredible score, and more. (SPOILER: the “more” includes alpacas!) 📺 youtu.be/4hLHeVp_G-Q

Public service reminder: Some localities have laws making giving water to rapturing people illegal.

A public service reminder: If you walk out of line during the rapture, you will have to rejoin the line at the end.

Oh wait, today is the rapture? I was wondering why it was so quiet. Guess I jumped the gun, but good thing there's wifi.

Cast Christopher Walken as Brainiac, you cowards

Okay, as am amateur eschatologist, I have to ask seriously, what was with all the rapture talk?

Wait, there was supposed to be a rapture today? Sorry, everyone, I forgot to check my calendar.

As the brother of an autistic American, as a person who worked on US scientific integrity policy at the White House, and as human being, I'm boiling at the RFK idiocy. And though I have little to offer beyond surpassing rage and national shame, I did smile at this statement from NYU's Arthur Caplan:

hi, medical toxicologist that knows a lot about Tylenol here👋 Claiming that tylenol use in pregnancy causes autism is fearmongering here's what you need to know 🧵

I cannot tell you how grim the AI in higher ed situation is. Many of the students have completely surrendered to letting AI do their homework, badly, I might add. How do you fix this? Truly, what the hell do we do, beyond what grading can address, which isn't a solution?

honestly I wish outlets like Wired would feature people who AREN'T surprised by this and DIDN'T spend years covering this ecosystem without recognizing the fundamental dynamics of power I can tell you exactly why it was missed:

@kikutowne.bsky.social Did you feel it in LA?

In my mind, these quakes are releasing tension that would otherwise build up to The Big One so I welcome them and I am not taking questions or comments at the moment

Hello earthquake neighbors at 3am.

@erikahall.bsky.social Just got referred to Behind the Black Rainbow and I think you'd dig some of the visuals. Can't really comment on the plot, as I'm almost done with the movie and still not sure there was one.

Achieved something today

Maybe this headline was overdetermined:

If you have an extra $10 a month to spare, here's a list of worker-owned cooperative news sites you might want to support: • 404 Media • Defector • The Flytrap • Flaming Hydra • The Appeal • Aftermath • Racket • Hell Gate • The 51st • The Colorado Sun • Range Media • Discourse Blog • Pop Heist

Big brass balls. If there’s some “crisis of masculinity” in America, it boils down to man-children who lack the cojones of this polite, soft-spoken, badass accountant and therefore fail to understand that “showing up for our neighbors” is what being a man means if it means anything.

Just so you know: Everyone I've ever spoken with who has worked with or for Stephen Colbert has said he really is a caring and supportive boss.

Do this to voice your outrage at Disney's unjust cancellation of Kimmel and other people's shows for simply practicing their free speech, ASAP.

Should we all just wear tactical vests and have a mask at the ready? What would happen if cosplayers of different goals flooded the zone?

I'd like to propose two topics for Decoder Ring: 1. How did NeilMed become synonymous with nasal rinsing 2. Cargo pants/shorts

For anyone canceling Disney/Hulu, I'd 100% recommend subscribing to Dropout TV. The content they put out is way better than the slop that major streamers create these days, and its only $6.99/mo! www.dropout.tv/checkout/sub...

Every day

Cancelled Disney+. Already saw all the Bluey.
