it is the same playbook everywhere. “vote for us! we will make you great again by punishing the people you hate! do not pay attention to the fact that we’re also shoveling your money into the pockets of the uber wealthy and building a giant boot to step on your face too (preferably forever)”

"I think it's no surprise that a company run by a man who sat behind Trump at his inauguration, and donated to the destruction of the White House, has taken a stance that helps ICE agents retain anonymity." Scoop from @davidgilbert.bsky.social

if arteta manages to pull off this bottle it will be his absolute magnum opus

Looks like our power is out at home due to the ice 🙃

Please share. 💔

That was fun. Hopefully Frank’s last hurrah.

I am in N17

No WiFi on this flight so I’ll see y’all in London in ~8hrs. Finally.

Welp. Going to miss the match. Flight delays have us rebooked to tomorrow. Super bummed.

This flight delay progression has been immense. Gonna make the Spurs match. Seriously. Positive thoughts.

Headed to London. Gonna be #COYSky in real life this weekend.

Talk about enshittification and the plague of private equity.

It would appear I am now a columnist at Inside Higher Ed. My first piece focuses on McCarthyism, censorship, and our current moment in higher education. This is an essay I started nearly 6 months ago so I'm glad to finally share it with y'all. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

One way to tell if you’re “The Baddies” is if you’re the guy in helmet and body armor firing tear gas at high school students AT THEIR OWN SCHOOL. CBP and ICE are a terrible mix of aggro and poorly trained, supercharged by feeling totally unaccountable.

I'm guilty of this too so no shade, but arguing about whether 'the players' are 'good' or 'bad' is pretty pointless when we can be more specific. Most of these players have already defended better and attacked better in the past than they have all season.

all I am going to say about this is that propagandists got tried for war crimes at nuremberg too www.semafor.com/article/01/0...

Hot take. Pretzel rolls are the worst rolls.

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

I really want a season of The Traitors (UK) where it’s all comedians. I think that would most enjoyable.

Genuinely gutted that Johnson has been sold. I’ve never felt this disconnected from Spurs but THFC just keeps pushing to wide that gap.

I’m an alum (MA, 2012) and The New School has been long mismanaged. Like a lot of higher ed, there’s been wasteful spending and bloated admin. The faculty were the best part of my experience. Not surprised by this, but sad faculty are taking the brunt of the poor management.

A week ago, it was below freezing, and today I went to the grocery store in short sleeves.

no i do not want to give you my email for 10% off. and furthermore, I don’t think i should have to click a button that says “i’m a dumb bitch” to indicate that. you’re a website that sells blankets and you can’t speak to me like that.

This has got to be one of Gavin Newsom's best...

FWIW, I've found my subscription this past yearish to be 100% worth it, even as an OG follower of the site. @theverge.com staff have put out some phenomenal work.

Bulking some English muffin dough to start my 5-day weekend.

I think it’s pretty clear at this point that one of the main impacts of LLMs is to disrupt thinking: to make it so that far too many people never properly learn how to do it, and then to control the output so there are thoughts that people never learn how to think.

My favorite is going to a conference as a vendor and then getting signed up for other vendors' nurture campaigns. It tells me who doesn't know what they're doing with marketing.

@edzitron.com cited by Jim Cramer. What is happening.

Some great charts on #AI from the Wall Street Journal. t.ly/xvvbw "AI products would have to create an additional $650 billion a year, indefinitely, to give investors a reasonable 10% annual return. That’s more than 150% of Apple’s yearly revenue"

Is there like a Lego cafe where I can go build the new USS Enterprise set but not have to buy it for myself? Bc I really want to build it… but I don’t want to have to store it someplace.

I don't need to use chatGPT because as a cis white man, I already say things with 100% confidence and 60% accuracy

Why did I, an AI critic, leave my 13-year-old agency to join a tech company with AI products? That's what @mallorywillsea.bsky.social asked me. And here is what I said. #HigherEd #HEMarCom www.enrollify.org/episodes/epi...

Having recently gone from being an entrepreneur for 13 years to working for a mid-sized global tech company I’ve been keenly aware of how unmotivated I am to do anything after the day job. Personal, societal, whatever. The system really is designed to keep us sedated when not generating capital.

This will definitely help improve Americans’ declining trust of institutions of higher education.
