I love that this is available through libraries.

It’s not like the news business was flourishing in 2015 — together FB, Craigslist and Google sucked the ad revenue out of news — especially local news — almost decade earlier. The pivot to video was a minor cliff in that decades-long decline.

Not just newsrooms, it gutted a lot of the first wave internet media companies like CollegeHumor. Complete and fraudulent destruction

If you weren’t on poaster you weren’t cool!

Truth social denied

For who specifically? Share holders ?

What the hell

The letter from Twitter's lawyer to Meta over Threads is comically bad. There's no substance, just a vague claim that Twitter employees Elon fired had some sort of dark magic in their brains about how to make a microblogging service.

me, active on four twitter substitutes

every time an airbnb host calls me one of the nicest/kindest/best guests they've ever had, I imagine I'm knocking off five years in purgatory

I love them

I tend to live as a historian of the present moment, looking back from the future

I could be wrong about the timing but it’s starting to reveal itself to me past some threshold it hasn’t crossed before

I think I feel it coming. Over the next couple of days, maybe it might take a week, I am going to attempt to write the densest essay I’ve ever written. It’s sort of “visa’s theory of everything” and it’ll probably include almost every single one of my talking points, from a hopefully fresh POV

Lilac do the thing!

Best spider man

You would know

"letter from the frontlines"

Please stop talking about your holes!

Ah yeah really good fake job thanks Sony

Will you adopt me? Lol the dialog in this movie is so corny?

What I can’t post videos here? Why

Why’s it wrong

"did u know if u are exploring the depths in tears of the kingdom and are running low on arrows u can just throw the brightbloom seeds instead of shooting them to create lig...wait where are u going"

Panic attack movie says people are STOOPID

I’m in this picture, should I like it? @mimi10v3.com

It's that time of the year again

Lesson number 1. Always be poasting Always and forever more!

Speaking of posters, I am here to tell you this, gentlemen. I will NEVER STOP POASTING!

In the night I hear em told, coldest story ever told, somewhere far along he lost his soul, to a woman so heartless Oh woe oh how could you be so heartless Dr Evil!

I love the IMAX theatre!

Posters are lindy

It is time to enter the Spider Verse

I read twitter but I don’t read Bluesky, I think it’s because the conversations on here lack some shared bundling or context like that has emerged on twitter. Twitter is way more searchable I think

people would rather suffer than admit they want the global town square to look and feel like their private discord but with bigger engagement numbers. you could heavenban a lotta people by doing stochastic likes and rt's

if I turned my lil script into a webapp for viewing your invitees would anyone wanna use it?

Checking up on my 120 invitees... none have received labels or bans (go team!). Congrats to @xenofy.bsky.social for the most posts (1.7K), also @lastwordsword.bsky.social @gpurcell.bsky.social and @crease.bsky.social above 1K... Also congrats to @cyphercat85.bsky.social for 1.1K followers!

matrix, or better yet don't offload culture to an instant messaging platform. ive seen way too much drama happen on websites which happened because some people created a channel somewhere (not just discord)

I think there's a cluster but it isn't as tightly connected as ppl think and that for any account in it there are ppl who think the account is central to tpot, that the account is an annoying intrusion, who think the account is peripheral, who don't recognize the account at all

That’s how my mom did it. “Oh, you want me to settle who gets to play with the toy? How about I just fucking break it?” I’d like to think she was channeling some inner Solomon, but I think she was just in a very unfulfilling marriage and didn’t really want kids (at least not at 18).

Hmmmmmmmmmmm

[watching a team build a protocol that gives users total control over what they see, makes in-band advertising impossible, and prevents platforms holding users hostage by giving them a meaningful way to exit without losing their social graph] NO! You CANNOT solve SOCIAL PROBLEMS with TECHNOLOGY

encryption without backdoors does appear to be a technological solution to a social problem 🧐

I don’t hate twitter, I don’t know why we need a million twitters though. You should make something that works fairly differently from the jump. I don’t like Reddit for example.

I’m seeing a lot of takes like “Bluesky is starting to feel like Twitter” NO SHIT! This is what happens when we  anthropomorphize online spaces by decoupling humans [builders/uses] from the product/service Changing spaces doesn’t change behavior…clear; enforceable boundaries & expectations does
