It's so funny how this is just the right's obsession with plastic surgery beauty being turned inward on men but they need to pretend that it's racism in order for them to not feel like women about it

The Second-Order Streisand Effect is a social phenomenon where if a party makes an effort to censor information, discussion and news about the censorship paradoxically leads to an increased awareness of Barbara Streisand, a musician whom most "Zoomers" would probably have otherwise never heard of

The AI is management and the GPU is labor, I’m not interested in what the suits have to say

🚨 Urban Stats 30.3.9 🚨 In this change - Luke added a text box system! You can add rich text boxes to your maps via an interactive editor. - I added the ability to put multiple years on the same density plot. Just select multiple years in the sidebar and they appear!

I never know how to react to the latest news, so let me just say one more time: immigration is good. It helps immigrants and it helps native-born people. It makes the world richer, culturally and financially.

🚨 ONE WEEK (for those of you lovely folks who support us by watching on nebula dot tv) 🚨

I have no idea if AI agents will ever really work as promised but Anthropic handing over control of MCP to the Linux Foundation is one of those standards-make-the-industry stories The Verge is best at. @haydenfield.bsky.social knocked it out of the park -> www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

It’s about ethics in screwing the measles guy journalism

This is what a hater being a waiter at a table of success looks like

Most folks know I've been banging the drum about the AI bubble for awhile, and this brilliant piece from @lopatto.bsky.social dramatically reinforces that hypothesis and is as meticulously researched as it is brutal: www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

🚨 Urban Stats 30.3.7 🚨 Two new features! @spudwaffle.bsky.social has landed a change allowing side by side settings and maps (only present on desktop to make it easier to make maps in the mapper) I added a feature so you can see the mean statistics for your friends!

The degree to which every single major journalist seems to just hate math is palpable in almost everything

The intolerance default being set to Warn but rudeness being set to Hide feels like a parody of mastodon-style sentiments regarding discourse norms. Is there, like, a reason this is happening here now?

The ending of Torchwood S1 is the funniest thing ever, they do the most unsubtle Christ analogy I've ever seen, down to Harkness being betrayed by his followers, dying for their sins in a fight with the literal devil, him being ressurected on the third day, and being taken away by God (the doctor)

This Weeks Editorial Cartoon: Breach Party

"What is this entire anti-terrorism memorandum if not an admission that terrorism works, and that terrorism has secured the White House?" wake up babe @lopatto.bsky.social and @sarahjeong.bsky.social banger alert www.theverge.com/policy/79051...

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops"). Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.
