I once thought bluesky might be a good alternative to facebook. but after a year, I’m no longer sure. the settings somehow make me want to post only very hermetic, self-contained things — and that doesn’t make much sense. so probably I’ll just stay here. as a reader.

By now, the pattern should be clear. Every major platform follows the same playbook: open, grow, close, monetize. My personal belief is that ChatGPT is the next distribution platform. I think it will happen within the next 6 months (and possibly faster). #chatgpt #brianbalfour #socialmedia

Fascists have no sense of humor and hate being ridiculed - this is exactly the right tactic to use against them. And if they turn violent (which is what they're looking for an excuse to do) and start attacking people in animal costumes, they'll just look even more ridiculous.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

honestly speaking, professore is my diplomatic envoy. without him, I’d have long been rotting in the bastille’s dungeons — having first composed my memoirs on some de sade style paper.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

ai at its peak.

saying goodbye to the summer — and to all its chaos. ☀️

reading chopin chopin feels like watching jamón jamón — a trailer full of sofia coppolism, ken russellism or jesus christ superstar vibes, but, you know, without the nerve or scandal. just glossy kitsch. a chopin movie without chopin in it.

Published 30 yrs ago & as much or more of a book for our times: the tortilla curtain by @tcboyle.com — the well-off wall themselves in, from adaptable people & wildlife, but ultimately can’t keep out wildfires etc. Here’s excerpt I liked. And yeah, they be paving the border road here now. #ecocrime
