I wish there was a way to mute the meme format of recent pic of a celebrity or athlete beside a historical pic that kinda vaguely looks similar

Thanks, Vonnegut. 💜

It's not looking good for our club

bringing this one back because they just keep doing it

Damn I really miss being around more trans people IRL. I have thoughts about the new Euphoria season but you couldn't pay me to share them on here

Double birds, and hidden ball tricks: Sometimes red cards are deeply hilarious. Let’s remember some cards! #NWSL #USWNT #woso #womenssoccer #redcard

Mom, you won't believe it I made @lesleyryder.bsky.social !

Funny thing is happening at work. I've noticed that if I really want people to read something it's helpful to tell them it's 100% human written and truly, actually a one-pager by listing the word count <500

The thing about being a slut is that it can be a great thing. But you have to be committed to a specific set of values—including openness, autonomy, tolerance—or the contradiction will rot your soul and ruin your life. More of us should be talking about it in these terms.

It's insane to me that every politician across the country isn't going this.

BSG is truly outstanding Most red cards in league history Only player to get multiple reds in multiple seasons Only player to receive a 2nd yellow twice Only player who's received multiple additional suspensions* Most games suspended, double the next highest*

[clears throat] this is an extremely clear instance of trust in action: part of the Political Magic is getting group X to trust that you're lying when you do slopulism for group Y

this isn't a point I make that much because I think it could be seen as excusing or justifying google and, you know, fuck em, not my job. but the idea that search was working well right before all the gemini bullshit got added is bafflingly ahistorical. they were losing the SEO war badly.

one reason i am anti-quote tweet dunk is that it escalates quickly and life is too short to click back through more than twice to try to figure out what the hell someone's beef is even about. grow up and leave one mean reply before getting on with your day

thinking about this tweet today. generative AI has done a wonderful thing; now everyone can have their own horse kicking them in the head even if they aren't a billionaire. and now billionaires can have two horses kicking them in the head at all times. a very valuable service

IMO the best prophylactics against this sort of thing: - Making a practice of tracking when you've changed your mind and why. Especially epistemically significant ideas. - A distrust of groupthink. Again I think explicitly tracking and verbalizing when your beliefs are influenced by groups is key

Much like with “getting scammed” or “joining a cult,” I think one of the top risk factors for falling into delusions is an attitude of “I’m too smart for that to happen to me, so I don’t need to be wary or interrogate my beliefs”

every morning I wake up with a single spark of hope in my heart. maybe today.

"In this case from Kentucky, the medical team attempted several lifesaving measures. Still, the baby coded twice. Doctors were able to resuscitate him the first time, but the second time, after about half an hour of trying to bring him back again, his parents finally told them they could stop."

damn, AOC is out there doing @jamellebouie.net columns in her speeches now, that’s wild

When there isn't enough housing, it gets rationed, and in a world where lots of people own brownstones, we ration it by price. And thanks to the weight of racism and history, white people are richer on average. This is downstream of inadequate construction throughout NYC and the whole metro area.

Being less depressed rips

Did surgery on this 43yo record player

Top shortage creating devastating social and technological consequences

goddamn, dude.

I had about 5 tweets I was legitimately proud of and this was one

the purpose of a Body is what it Scores

this is an example of “who cares what the court says it is none of their business”

Wrote about the importance of adhering to an effective, disciplined nonviolence in fighting the Trump regime, especially given a growing obsession with “heroic” violence online (gift link). www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Telling my grandchildren: Originally, "podcast" isn't what we called the moving pictures on your quantum color explosion wall. Those were "TV shows". TV for television. A box with ears that listened to the sky and painted pictures on a screen.

this is why, when we win, we gotta win all the way.

And it wouldn't even lead to lower prices at the pump! Here's the legendary @pkrugman.bsky.social writing in 2000.

Here's a graph showing interest payments from 1792 to present. The US has a problem, stemming from historically high primary deficits coupled w/ interest rates that have somewhat rebounded. But if we hadn't done the Bush and Trump tax cuts, we wouldn't: the high primary deficits come from tax cuts

A lot of AI criticism makes me feel like someone says “the automobile has been disastrous for society” and I’m nodding along like “yeah I actually really agree, I think that car centric urban design has-“ and then they add “also it’s a scam, cars break down after more than ten miles anyway”

I'm staying out of this one

Spent mother's day around a bunch of moms who in several moments wanted to include me in the celebrations because I'm a dog mom. Which is both very sweet and also completely humiliating

How much of today's political insanity is a consequence of the US failing to create coherent housing and healthcare policy, immiserating much of the country, and then US voters reacting by projecting these problems onto other countries and trade?

Frank can be a bit heavy handed sometimes but still

One problem with AI that I've seen less about is how the chat interface changes people's habits around interpersonal communication. If someone spends much of their day talking back and forth to a bot with no interiority, what does that change about how they talk to humans?

Look, man, if I need to go 26 miles, I take an Uber. But I don’t call myself JulianMarathonRunner.

"Subdivision" is the perfect soulless semantic replacement for "neighborhood", American suburbs really nailed that one

I think a good way to think about whether to use AI and *what* to use it for is to think about "what tasks are you comfortable becoming less skilled at?" If you use a calculator, you are deciding to be less capable at mental math. Dishwasher → less good at handwashing dishes.

Iran keeps cooking our ass with these videos

The canvas thing is why this "layoff all your software engineers now that AI can do it" is hilarious. Bro AI means there's *more* work for software engineers, not less

imagine a worm that spreads by stealing LLM API keys and using them to develop new 0days to spread further

another thing i'm seeing is what the media & governments do and we know is wrong: treating the trans community as both a monolith AND a far larger community than it actually is. to project power onto a minority just to make yourself (cis men is who i see on here) an underdog is dangerous and cruel

My favorite policy proposal for addressing this AI insanity is a token tax. The risk is that the industry is going to lobby the hell out of any regulation, including a tax scheme. But I think the upsides of an approach like this are huge www.axios.com/2026/04/20/a...
