That’s probably the most clear explanation I’ve seen that makes sense to me. Thank you for this.

Maybe I’m not smart finance investor person but gold and silver, two products that have been around for about 14 billion years, are up like 100% from their price last year, and I don’t see how that’s not an obvious sign of a bubble. Am I missing something?

I have some people in mind that should be thrown in a wood chipper feet first.

I guess you’re the expert but my line is people who want to and defend raping children. They should not be defended in any way. Full stop. In my opinion the right way to deal with pedophiles (and uh, ephebophiles) is to throw them in the (redacted) feet first. But you’re the expert, Aaron!

LinkedIn billionaire Reid Hoffman visited Jeffrey Epstein’s private island, planned to visit NYC mansion The documents detailed Hoffman’s plans to stay the night in Epstein’s townhouse following a late-night flight to Manhattan on Dec. 4, 2014. In the morning, he planned to attend a &#8220…

This you?

Can’t imagine why texting with an AI Jesus would be controversial. Thank you, TODAY, for clearing this up.

I’m not sure what “Bubba is not Bill Clinton! Trump actually sucked off some other guy” is supposed to accomplish but honestly it just brings up more questions on which dick or dicks President Donald John Trump sucked.

Every rich asshole thinks they are the most Very Important Big Boy on the planet

Also if anything can be funny about all this horrible Epstein stuff it’s that it’s that literally all of the emails are marked “importance: high” and then it’ll be like “hey jeff let me tell you this out of context quote that has nothing to do with anything from a Roman guy who’s name I forgot”

The twist in the end (spoiler) is that the prison they escaped from was Shmalcatraz the whole time.

What is the condition of Dick Cheney???

Democracy in Action:

Me: For the love of god I hope nobody finds out that I dropped my wife’s ballot off in the mail, I could go to jail

Trump: Sure I’ll run for a third term and send the gestapo after every American who votes against me!

The US Press: “Trump thoughtfully weighs a third term”

There’s no reconciliation here. This isn’t “political disagreement”. Anyone who works for ICE in 2025 is a completely irredeemable monster and needs to be wood chippered into fertilizer.

can we consider automoderation of threads a failure yet

No. They shouldn’t be using AI for anything like this. This is a non starter.

If you have object permanence you are probably not the right person for VCs unfortunately.

Ahem. I’m not sure who needs to hear this but I, a lifetime Californian and Democrat voter, am not voting for Gavin Newsom ever again. Not for governor, not for president, not for head manager at Chuck E Cheese. Find another candidate, Democrats.

Mel’s dead eyes tell me otherwise.

My kink is that I want Isaac Chotiner to interview me and publish it in the newspaper.

Just presented to my whole company. Thank god for weed and Ativan.

I want to inject Isaac Chotiner interviews directly into my veins.

Who among us can forget “person woman man camera tv”

I think you’re missing my point. If the PDS (Bluesky) represents 99% of the network and that has become hostile, and there’s only one other place to go, that doesn’t inspire confidence in me spending any money and time spinning up a PDS (that’s subject somehow to bluesky moderation anyway?)

Also, apparently Bluesky can ban you even if you migrate to Blacksky unless more money and time is invested in setting up these servers (PDS, relay, whatever)

So I don’t feel good using Bluesky any more and after researching, from what I can tell my “AT Proto Ecosystem” options are:
1.Join Blacksky, which as a white person this doesnt feel right.
2.Spin up my own PDS and relay at high cost and effort and magically get users

Am I missing anything?
