This is no different than the AI Bubble discourse where people have willed themselves to believe that the thing they are mad at must be failing economically.

People are mad that Netflix does not combine all the benefits of a steaming platform with all of the best features of the broadcast industry (which were driven by its specific economics) so they want it to suffer a moral reckoning but Netflix is profitable and many people watch it.

I think that a lot of people saying "AI Bubble" are substituting their personal disdain for AI for any actual economic analysis.

F*ck off forever, Graham.

Chevalier's actually very shitty past statements and actions, like her contempt for interracial relationships, are getting cover by being attacked as part of a group who are being targeted for mostly bad faith reasons. But they're still shitty.

I hear you, but there is a moment (15:50 on this video) where the main speaker touts the attack to the cheers of the crowd. Believe me I'm usually happy to defend the Palestine movement but defending protest this feels like a trap. youtu.be/twdI5UBjTYo?...

Yeah, no. This is a major retcon.

I don’t find it terribly unreasonable to call this language celebratory?

Always fun to learn about players from earlier eras.

They are not allowed to use them until Algebra II when they use them for graphing and even then not allowed to use them for anything but that. Thinking, writing, reasoning are built upon rigorous practice and development which you lose if you hand off those skills.

My daughter's school doesn't allow calculators at all except for certain graphing functions. I would be completely innumerate if was allowed to use a calculator for my early math. The calculator protesters were completely right. I am probably a minority on Bluesky in that I believe that AI both 1/2

I dont think that the Fetterman comparison people keep making is fair to Fettertman in 2022. He was the Lt. Gov. of PA. He had well hashed out left wing policy positions on most issues including gender and race. I don't know what happened to him since but he wasn't seen as an empty suit guy 1/2

I can across an interview of Alex Karp from 2009 and it’s one of the most articulate CEO interviews I’ve ever seen. You could do an entire project pulling old interviews and comping them against current ones to see just how much they’ve cooked their brains on drugs and money. x.com/ludoonchart/...

Jaylen Brown is being traded to Maine.

Bummed that I keep getting this wrong.

*Maine Democratic Party calls on Platner to quit the race

This feels like the wrong word for something so serious, but I really can’t think of a better word to describe the whole Platner saga than “farcical”

Literally all the Platner skeptics were saying that someone with this much reckless and shady behavior that was readily available had more out there and the Platner Panzers kept insisting that we'd heard the last allegation but also that the allegations so far were all lies.

I mean Stevens’ statement is pretty gracious and clearly trying to reach out to McMorrow supporters even if she doesn’t use those exact words. We don’t have to do this kind of parsing.

Trump is watching the Fox News feed of himself watching Fox News

One thing that I wish that people would grapple with (I don't claim to have an answer) is that if we are asking right leaning voters to lose on issues that they care passionately about to stop Trump's facism, should left leaning voters have an obligation to do the same to build a winning coalition?

BAH! Enough talk! My <Beam Blast> shall make short work of you!

The Fresno metro area consumes thirty billion gallons of water each year.

I am a big analytics guy but this mostly seems like the team covering its butt after a terrible trade by trashing him to the media. If he was really not good why wouldn't they go all in on the Giannis trade?

I don't know about him specifically but a lot of these tech vc guys sound much crazier than they did five years ago. And I don't think that it was act back then. Some combination of drugs and social media poisoning .

I would actually distinguish SSPX from catholic fascism (which really goes more with Opus Dei than SSPX, but has become its own thing at this point), because the SSPX people care so much more about the fine details of catholic liturgy and magisterial nonsense than worldly power.

Kyle Lowry is retiring so no one from 2004-2006 is left.

the NBA is acting like it spend the day at the beach in a heat wave drink some water please

Spent years building up a big following on Twitter, essential for publicising my aviation blog, which I live from. Desperate to leave it & publicise on nicer platforms, but I have too few follows. If you want to help me escape, do give this a share. Much obliged. My blog here: hushkit.substack.com

This is specifically why it was previously such a popular slur among neo nazis and white supremacists. It's a way to impute responsibility for a larger conspiracy to individuals they dislike. It is not used any differently here on Bluesky.

On Facebook or Instagram anything referencing Jews or Jewish people will have comments along the lines of "the painter was right"

me talking to magically resurrected founding father: and so sir you can see how the supreme court has become a deeply illegitimate institution that threatens the very republic you created founding father: there are *how many* papists on it???

You don't even need a liberal justice to die. Roberts is 71 and will absolutely retire when there is a Republican senate/president.

Saw this Facebook reel (you may need to close login prompt to see it) and it's shocking how straigtforward antisemetisim has just broken through as a normal non-noteworthy personality trait that doesn't really occasion comment on a show about budgeting. cc @whstancil.bsky.social

It isn't the most egregious part of the decision but when the INA was passed illegal immigration was a live issue and there was no ambiguity that it granted birthright citizenship to the children of visitors and unauthorized immigrants. Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito simply don't care.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.

Klein tries to make his conversation with Rufo about how the "mainstream right" has institutions at war with the online right and the groyper right and positions Rufo as a "mainstream" type institutionalist. Rufo is absolutely the wrong person to be positioning that way.

They can't stop doing the onion headline.

JOKER: Not so fast, Bat-JERK! My LAUGHBangs will leave you BLIND as a BAT! BLUESKY BATMAN: Oof. Many people suffer from reduced vision. Not funny. JOKER: It's like, it's a pun. It's just wordplay. BLUESKY BATMAN: Sorry if I'm not in the mood for "jokes" while SCOTUS shreds our constitutional rights

‘Is it Israel’s aim to kill our children?’ West Bank parents implore end to IDF’s child killings with impunity Israeli army has killed 235 children in West Bank since 7 October 2023 without a single indictment in what rights groups call a ‘licence to kill’ www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

Redlining is literally the opposite of gentrification, what the supposedly anti-gentrification people want is basically “redlining, but wokely”

Also "multiple championships without a top 75 player" is intentionally some very specific slicing from Kobe backers. Pau Gasol was a hall of fame player who was all NBA both years he won championships with Kobe.

We're doing Levittowns but leftishly.

They picked Cuomo specifically because he had been driven out of office for sexual harassment. Restoring him was a rebuke to all the woke little people who challenged their betters.
