It's obviously not true that a watched pot never boils, so maybe the journalist was actually trying to say something

Network has by now become a lukewarm critique of the media, considering that no one is seen opening Polymarket and betting on Beale’s live on-air suicide

In hindsight, instead of putting a labubu on Karl Marx’s grave, it would have been funnier to put it on Theodor Adorno’s.

AI Obituary Pirates Are Exploiting Our Grief. I Tracked One Down to Find Out Why After the death of my sister, I was pulled into the troubling world of AI-written obituaries. This is what I learned about grief, scams and the people behind the words.

“This was my introduction to a process that repeats itself every time someone dies and loved ones post about them on social media -- primarily Facebook. Comments are harvested as raw materials for obituaries written by AI, and dozens of bots share links to them back on Facebook.”

Il sogno del resto è sempre stato quello di leggere nella mente di Andreotti, che però non era un chiacchierone egomaniaco come questi altri e ha sempre lasciato tutti senza soddisfazione

secondo me il fascino di entrambi (nell'immaginario italiano) risiede nel fatto che sembrano essere addentro alle segrete cose, parlare con loro è com'era parlare con Licio Gelli (anche quando non contava più niente)

Asking the right questions is what education is about. It might not be formal education, but that's still what you need.

Bluesky’s chronological feed has me scrolling three times more than other platforms—kind of wild. I put together a list of people into internet culture, but I miss out on plenty of others who post about it, even among people I already follow. Where do I get a recommendation algorithm...?

The quote comes from this interview here, which I haven’t read in full:

The manifesto is on Ben Ditto’s Telegram channel:

at the end of her manifesto: "Finally, one learns that boredom is a disease of civilization." Here too, ideologically, there is no connection – this girl was a rabid misanthrope, deeply confused and suffering, not an anti-tech activist – but it’s interesting how TK has become a pop reference.
