We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

I've got to be honest, every time it comes up I kind of hope it happens and they all just float away.

I take comfort that, as a Jew, I will be left behind in the rapture this Rosh Hashanah.

This post is guaranteed to age well and remind me of stupid times.

I can't help but wonder about the gender divide on this (Your comment, not the article ). I feel like there's a difference in the perceived danger of surveillance. I'm a data point of one, but I only knew guys who checked in _everywhere_. I rarely saw a woman as "the mayor" of anywhere.

@agradable.net I feel like this simile nails some of the conversations we've been having lately...

"Plastic software" is the perfect term for what's happening right now.

Cheap to produce, convenient to use, terrible for the ecosystem.

We're creating massive technical debt landfills that future devs will have to clean up.

The absolute audacity of my phone telling me we will be experiencing "cooling over the next few days" because we are going from 98⁰ to 94⁰ tomorrow.

every day i wake up and choose to honor my ancestors by opening 35 tabs i likely won’t look at again and finishing no emails

your lack of planning is not my emergency

If Adriana Smith had an advanced directive would that have helped?

Make no mistake, what she, her children, & family have gone through is horrific. Starting with the initial denial of care, then ultimately this horrible fate.

I'm asking to understand if women have any protections we can use.

Her whole thread is spot on. I'm bi, not in the lesbian community, but I used to attend the dyke march years ago... they've never been great at understanding and talking about issues outside of their own community...

I try to give my fellow leftists the benefit of the doubt and not do the knee jerk assumption of antisemitism that so many of my Jewish peers run to but Jesus fuck could the Dyke March not come up with a better and more nuanced way to support Palestinians than a “no Zionists” policy?

AI just makes shit up. Saying it "hallucinates" just adds to the marketing that it's some ephemeral, thinking, unknowable magic that's better than your own ability to think. Your buggy malfunctioning language model isn't cute. It's broken.

Chain-Gang All-Stars Two top women gladiators fight for their freedom within…

Anyone else getting Chain-Gang All-Stars vibes from this talk of the immigration reality t.v. show? Absolute dystopia.

BTW, if you haven't read it, I can't recommend it enough.
It. Is. Excellent.

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.

This is an interesting question. How do you fund the open web while not gatekeeping those with lower income, or inherently skewing towards a privileged few (assuming that a goal of the open web is also universal access)? Grants, unrestricted donations, voluntary subscriptions that subsidize others?

you know who else came from chicago and was on "a mission from god"

When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

I took myself out to see Sinners yesterday. Everything Coogler did was so intentional. Every. Detail.

Right now I'm stuck in the poison of the white "savior."

A LOT will be, and should be, written about that movie.

There are more 3-minute speeches worth hearing in @booker.senate.gov's filibuster - 14 hrs in - than most Senators will belch in their entire careers. As time goes on, he's less filtered but just as coherent. I'm not an orthodox believer but others might hear The Spirit speaking through him.

Insomnia thoughts: I wish Al Gore fought and didn't concede. Gracious is what got us here.

The False Binary: Excellence vs. Inclusion (The Techno-Authoritarian Backlash, Part 2) There’s an anecdote I love from the now-retired Reply All podcast, it starts with a problem-solving question that I invite you to try now: Let's say you are just sitting down at home for a really del...

Published another article of the dangerous myth pitting quality against inclusivity, a calculated lie designed to maintain the status quo.

Genuine meritocracy DEMANDS inclusion, while biased technology creates real-world harm with devastating consequences.

I think you may be right.
I may have been duped.

And this is why, having worked on Alexa years ago, I will never have one in my home.
