They claim this robber brought a kitten along, how do we know the kitten didn't bring him? www.thebanner.com/community/lo...

Hills I will die on: 1. Skipping whole lines between every sentence in newsletters doesn’t make it easy to skim or give the message gravitas or whatever. It just feels like having a kid’s book read to me very slowly. 2. There is no brand I need in my inbox every day. Not one.

Earlier this month I was in a room with several VCs and other finance people talking about how I believe creatives struggling to launch their projects can borrow a lot (though not all of it to be sure) from the way tech startups approach the funding ecosystem.

it’s insane that Stephen Root doesn’t have an emmy yet. he should be given a lifetime achievement award for Bill Dauterive alone

"Need Someone," Gavin Brivik and Andrew Bird's song from The Pitt, has an Emmy nomination!!! Here's my latest interview with Gavin from @thepitch.bsky.social where we talk about his work on the show's music:

If you read just a few comments on any article about Graham Platner it should become crystal clear why victims don’t come forward earlier. The level of cruelty people direct at victims is gutting

Cheer up, USA. One of your soccer teams has won 4 World Cups.

Behind the scenes, I also produce a podcast about getting fired called Canned. It’s hosted by the inimitable @nerdseyeview.bsky.social and once in a while I join her on the mic. Like when job-related ai news is bonkers, for example. www.podbean.com/ew/pb-5jxrf-...

I try to be conscious of not sending people email way outside of biz hours but I’m in project conversations w folks in two EU time zones and in all North Amer time zones but one so at this point I’m just changing my email sig to “answer whenever the fuck you work” in like six languages

Man, this is a JOURNEY

“Not what I intended” always reads like such a self-centered, bullshit, non-apology of a response. (*raspberry sound*)

Fr, calendar math is an underrated skill and so help me if World Time Buddy ever goes out of business, I will rend my garments and sit shiva for it.

The new global forever stamps are cool as hell.

Gahhd, search is so awful now. Was trying to locate a specific essay about trauma and resilience and forgot to add the “-ai” modifier at the end of the search query and the results began: “As an ai, I don’t have feelings but perhaps you are looking for [crap unrelated to what I was looking for].

Honestly, this is delightful

This “comment WORD for recipe so a bot can send it and you can be on my not-terribly substantive sales mailing list” is exhausting. I cook by feel/taste more than recipe but I cook daily and GLADLY share or swap recipes w anyone at any time bc it’s fun to share delicious things with nice people.

Yes the world is on fire and there are many things to discuss but pausing to mention this is still a great album

Here’s my thing: I do not give a fuck how famous/powerful/connected anyone is if they can’t manage to be a decently kind person. Like, great, dude, you have so-and-so’s name in your phone, you’re still condescending. Man, I have no patience for that game.

Quite a read: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

You know, not every class needs to be (or frankly qualifies as) a masterclass. It can just be a class or a webinar or whatever. Just like not every speech is a keynote bc by definition a keynote sets the theme a conference or event and there’s only one of them, usually right at the start. It’s okay.

Regular reminder this website exists and the music will always get a yes-vote from me (cc @nerdseyeview.bsky.social) : www.cameronsworld.net

I’m noticing some folks are starting to *talk* like AI (“It’s not THIS. It’s not THIS. It’s THIS.”) and makes me fear they’ve outsourced some of the best parts of their minds. Just say the thing. The “not this” throat-clearing bullshit preamble sucks and dilutes your fucking point.

Root canal ✅ Woof. Heavy painkillers are not for me so I’m riding it out with ibuprofen. Please shower me with photos of your beautiful pets and visiting bird friends. Thank you in advance.

Humans are like “we needed this” and it’s just watching smart and kind humans in space and on the ground at their best, doing awe-inspiring, history-making work and showing humanity and care to each other and making us all ugly-cry and not think about the horrors here on earth for a moment, nbd.

FFS, I saw a video in which an influencer shared the “amazing smoothie hack” of storing peeled bananas in Tupperware to save yourself the time of peeling a goddamned banana.

The. Rise. Of. Cognitive. Surrender. Study finds that people who use GenAI chatbots rely on them 80% of the time, and develop almost no capacity to recognize when a chatbot is feeding them faulty information. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

This is very cool and while I’m no cartographer, I am glad to pass this info along

“she has deep knowledge of women’s pay…That research has included the role that discrimination plays in pay gaps between men and women. Goldin won her Nobel for advancing understanding of women’s labor-market outcomes.”

Between the ornithological bird and the cartoon bird, what do I choose, you ask? I choose chaos.

This is, without exaggeration, the smartest, clearest discussion I have heard regarding AI in the workplace. You should listen.

I need everyone to listen to this episode of CANNED pls

When I die, if you turn my image into a shitty computer facsimile of me I swear to God I will rise up from the grave and haunt you

I have lived in Los Angeles for nearly two decades and I have never experienced the kind of yellow smog that used to define this city why? because we cleaned that shit up none of this is beyond salvation

Seattlians! Seattlites! Pls show up for Pam and listen to her radical brilliance. Internetlandia: you too.

and she asked all the women in the room to stand up because (paraphrased) “i wouldn’t be here without all of you.” such an amazing moment.

👏👏👏

I recently went back through the bajillion screenshots of things on my phone to prune them and some of you prob have no idea a comment you prob said as an aside meant so much to me at the time. In one hard era especially, kindnesses I screengrabbed were absolutely carrying me through it. Thank you.

Rebooked on a flight after weather threw some curveballs last night. Hello from the middle seat I am grateful to have after two canceled flights but also where all 5’10” of me is ready to give a power point to folks called MIDDLE SEAT GETS ARMRESTS. Thank you.

What women do w their bodies/clothes is nobody’s business but this long sleeve trend that covers most of the hand? That makes us look like helpless toddlers playing dress-up? Do you think that’s a coincidence? Bc we sure as hell can’t make a fist and do much of consequence if we’re fucking w that.

Seattle and Seattle-adjacent, I beseech thee 👇

If @katelovesmath.bsky.social wrote it, you know it’s going to be smart and good 👇

And in stark contrast to (*gestures broadly at everything humans are wrecking*) here are three people who literally just decided to be decent rather than harmful.

Among other projects, I’ve been working on a crime series w/ a Canadian production team. In a zoom meeting, we unpacked U.S. v Canadian gun framing/laws for each other and the level of surprised “wow i don’t think anyone here would ever think of that” in both directions was kind of incredible

Reader, I was WARNED and was still not prepared
