i like charlie XCX

I hate taylor swift

as a single guy who just moved to manhattan i would love to know where to meet people my age but uhh i think the bar scene in this area is kinda dead too.

Walz: There’s nothing conservative about an unelected South African nepo baby firing people at the VA.

it was true last week and remains true this week that the administration doesn't really have anything positive to offer anyone, and they're not even really trying to pretend they will in the future. which i find really strange and hard to wrap my head around.

john fetterman sucks so much

someday we will have the technology to turn the plastic accumulating in each of our brains into a personalized McDonald’s happy meal toy but until then we must continue gathering

this is very clear and very straightforward about what's happening and at some point we also have to start pointing the finger at major news organizations who are flatly - out of bias, out of fear, out of incompetence, whatever - refusing to treat this as the emergency it is

do your jobs

Every gaming discord im in now are all saying they will remove all links to X/Twitter and even have bots to remove links because they don't want that site getting any engagement.
I think it's fair with what is happening

You can say this doesn’t matter because billionaires view normal people as instruments for their will but keep in mind we’re talking about a guy who cried after being booed at a Dave Chappelle stand up set

Bari Weiss @bariweiss SCOOP: Daniel Penny Gets Hired by Andreessen Horowitz "Daniel acted with courage in a tough situation," said @a16z partner @davidu in a statement explaining the hire. EXCLUSIVE: Daniel Penny Gets Hired by Andreessen Horowitz From thefp.com 5:18 PM • 2/4/25

In less than two months, Daniel Penny has gone from facing a potential 20 years in prison to landing a role at Andreessen Horowitz, the premier investment firm in Silicon Valley. In an internal statement seen by The Free Press, David Ulevitch, a general partner at the firm, confirmed the hire. "He will learn the business of investing and he will work to support our portfolio companies," wrote Ulevitch in a note sent to all employees this afternoon.

they got rid of DEI and the right wing tech elites immediately started hiring based on experience

oh no wait lol

When the economy crash, which is likely, I'm going to say it's because there wasn't enough women running the government and if we had proper DEI practices in place it wouldn't have happened. Now that we ended affirmative action and working to end DEI, *every* problem is now white men's fault.

getting older

I have struggled with how to respond to Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook's descent into toxic masculinity and Neo-Nazi madness. While I have thought about quitting Facebook, I find great value in the connections and friends I have here, and it doesn't seem fair that I should lose that 1/4

i’m so bored

i really just want the attention of people i shouldn’t try to but like

i really wish i used this app more

Benefits of an open network

While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network.

I blogged about it here:

All the software engineers, I know really like Claude and I’m one of them. It writes so much code. It is perfect.

yeah i got mine at ocean beach haha. this one was perfect for me 😭😭😭

can someone make a platform where the limit is like 1 billion bytes that must be represented in text and so people have to find innovative ways to share like movies and stuff.

do crimes.

“pokes you in the arm”

I was thinking about social isolation as people get older and what platform I would want my mom to use and honestly, I think bluesky nailed it on all fronts

I got a really perfect one a few weeks ago from the beach and I put it in my bag and my MacBook broke it. I felt so sad.

i wonder how this picture will look like in 20 years

follow me pls :)

is there any way I can tell my mom to go out and make friends because she’s 50 and like I don’t know but she just needs more people to talk to.

Bar culture does not provide friends. It’s an extremely negative space to make friends individually.

also bluesky needs to change the icon but i like the ux now. def need to stop using twitter now. fuck you elon
