I was eager to join those mocking Oracle for breaking TikTok. But then I saw everyone rambling wildly into the lapel mics in their hands and forgot who I was supposed to be mocking.

HPLD like "The Kingsman"s HKLP ("Holds Knife Like Pen")... but "Holds Phone Like Donut"

Dear @bsky.app , Since Twitter has been sold out, its search feature has been useless, its content even worse, and its ability to simply render a timeline longer than 5 tweets is a joke.

I see a lot of friends asking some LLM to spiff up their self photos for websites and CVs and ask me what I think. Half the time it doesn't even look like them, but they like it. I have to wonder what that says about our self-image in general.

Watching "Mayor of Kingstown" and I can't deny it's relatable. Mike is a veteran of his industry. He knows all the rules and has seen how they get broken. He's highly valued and is often hired for his unique experience, yet his advice is consistently ignored, despite constantly being proven right.
