Super cool that Grammarly has embraced AI and extended beyond just grammar and syntax, now offering factual "corrections" that are entirely wrong.

Online ads are so wild. On a YouTube video, I just got an ad for Honda followed by one that was exactly five seconds long and just said, "You deserve healthy feet. You deserve lotion." No other information.

As @ajdellinger.com wrote this week in @gizmodo.com, Bitcoin mining is more expensive than ever.

Yet, that doesn't mean some of the biggest mining operators can't still get rich -- thanks, in part, to deals some struck to do nothing more than sell the energy they buy back to the grid at a mark-up.

I didn’t have to share in this story that I think stock chart patterns are MBA astrology but I just wanted to say it for those who agree but don’t have the freedom to say it out loud

Saddens me that the correct nation to choose for this joke was Ukraine, and then Musk went and said it for real.

Can't believe Bluesky partnered with Iran to launch a cyberattack against X while Elon Musk was in a k-hole. Masterful gambit.

Of course this doesn't make rational sense and is just ideologically driven, but isn't this an example of a thing they claim to *want*? Instead of the government building its own tool, they just pay for a private sector solution. That's like their whole argument for how to save money!

Vivek Ramaswamy Says America Doesn’t Have Enough Engineers Because We Mocked Steve Urkel America loves jocks, and that's why we don't have any good engineers... or something.

Vivek's Urkel take gave me an excuse to talk interpretations of Whiplash and taxonomical theories of fascism in the same article, so thanks for that, I guess.

imo it's not inexplicable UHC killer IDs as "anti-capitalist" and is a Tucker Carlson/Musk/Thiel follower. They all position themselves as anti-establishment. Of course they don't want to tear down systems of oppression; they want to control them. But plenty of followers don't catch that part.

If you are a CEO worried about your safety: Consider turning yourself in for your crimes and going to jail, it is very secure in there.

Twitter? Dead? No way. Now, let me just take a big gulp of water and check my For You tab...

Checking in the Twitter For You feed which...is the same video over and over again, and the video is glitched every time. Everything working as intended, surely.

Google's spam filter in Gmail used to be pretty good at deciphering the difference between real emails and trash.

Now it puts Google Calendar invites sent from *THE COMPANY'S OWN PLATFORM* in my spam folder.

What happened?

Just saw a Zillow ad encouraging millennial friend groups to buy a home together so they can actually afford one. So seems like everything is going well in the housing market.

Too many people know what a parlay is now. It should be reserved for degenerates and when used in conversation, it should be viewed as a cry for help.

I was made aware of the horror that is "Brown Friday" and now you have to bear that burden, too.

There are plenty of scammers who face minimal social repercussions for fucking people over, but kinda wild how many big influencers ran crypto scams that targeted and hurt their own audiences and didn't lose an ounce of popularity. All you have to do is stop watching the guy who took your money!

In the last few days I have seen posts from 9/11 deniers, raw milk enthusiasts, and a person explaining how the Illuminati rigged the Tyson-Paul fight.

The Twitter algo isn't even attuned for maximum engagement at this point, it's just injecting straight up crank shit into the feed.

The posts on the Twitter For You feed are *wild.*

First tweet I saw today was a person threatening to boycott Lululemon because small sizes cost as much as large sizes and they don't want to "subsidize clothes for fats."

Not only is that not for me, but I can't even imagine who that is for.

Imagine being the person just trying to watch Lincoln Lawyer and your stream keeps buffering because 100 million people decided to watch an influencer fight a guy with an AARP card.
