The UAP video is such a cheap distraction

Why tf did the white house release an AI generated video of trump's response to Charlie Kirk?? Comments disabled too www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q1N...

Mainstream pundits have instantly sanitized and ignored Charlie Kirk's core political project and its impacts. He has been remembered by the mainstream press as someone they merely disagreed with, a debate me-guy whose words and actions had zero consequences: www.404media.co/charlie-kirk...

Automating tasks is so satisfying

Absolute banger, as opposed to End of Summer which felt a bit cheap. Hype for new album restored!! open.spotify.com/track/3RmFPu...

Nice

Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism' We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman Empathy for Kirk—not because he ever acted like a decent human—but because we are decent humans

publicly saying things are great but then in court saying things are bad and googoo is just a wittle baby…absolute loser behavior lol

centralizing around bluesky lexicons is bad actually the fragmentation will continue until morale improves

What an absolute weaksauce mf

looking through this and so sad that I couldn't make this meetup :( discourse.atprotocol.community/t/notes-from...

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

The thing is, he is smart. This isn’t a “haha oops” moment, Sam Altman is selling Worldcoin as a solution to this exact problem

OK! Today's the day! Kicking off the home for the #PrivateDataWG in the new @atprotocol.dev hosted Discourse forum Thanks to @ngerakines.me for spinning up the infra, including login with ATProto powered by AIP If you're interested in Private Data, login and introduce yourself.

It’s the Confederate Army retaking the Union states (and the nations Capital). This is the civil war redux GOP turned MAGA Party has been pushing since Reagan kicked off with a dog whistle 1980 speech on (irony alert) “states rights” in Neshoba, Miss where the Klan murdered 3 freedom riders.

YOO LOT RADIO ON STREAM.PLACE what an unexpected collab of things I like

Socially verifiable high effort content

What does Andrew Callaghan at scale look like? Is it even possible?

My sense is that a significant amount of technical progress and general computational infrastructure has been built by trans women. Thank you for the internet y'all

"Something I’ve told the team [...] when it felt like the challenges were just too big for us: ‘This is how everyone else has done it in the past. It’s just the people you have in the room. You haven’t done it before, but here’s your chance. Be the hero you want to see. Nobody’s coming to save us.’"

I talked to 404 Media about devices for tracking and spying on your partner being sold on TikTok. This is not stalkerware, but these are devices for tech-enabled abuse and I think we should be talking about tech-enabled abuse more broadly. www.404media.co/tiktok-shop-...

Just an educated guess here but Jack was likely afraid to "break" Twitter by evolving it. Afraid of the backlash and embarrassment. Or maybe he just didn't have the vision or energy. But it's basically just a "skill issue" and someone else (maybe no one at Twitter, Inc though) could have done it.

This was pretty entertaining I scored 13/21 on e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

This is what it is, along with a financial incentive to play up anecdotes for the algorithm. For a lot of Americans, their feeds both locally and nationally have turned into Best Of Liveleak, an outgrowth of a political project Musk and Congressional Republicans have wanted for years.
