"amplify your people" is 100% the best strategy

As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind. Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.

Along with being one of the funniest comedians out there, PFT is a good human who's written a great thread.

"Are you selling me a solution or a dependency?" is a question I think more people should ask.

abandoned malls and cubical farms are 21st century decrepit mansions and musty crypts, reminders that once upon a time, these things and the people who built them had fortunes, now spent; they signal the fragmenting of order, a new world replacing the old, and the fragility of power structures

Take a break from being depressed that everything you love is being destroyed by slop for a moment and let me tell you about the beautiful symbiotic relationship between graffiti writers, train yard workers, and model train enthusiasts.

i don't think i should be required to work hard and do a good job when everyone with power over my life barely works and does a bad job

Naught but a leap to the left And then a clockwyse tread; Put thyne handes on thyne hippes, And be thy knees yn-gatheréd: Lo! It ys the pelvique thruste That maketh mirthe down to rayne - Lat us doon the Tyme Warpe agayne!

99% of the time I'm not really a leopards-eating-faces sort of person but the leopard breeder from leopard island who dedicated his life to bigger meaner leopards with more teeth made a string of incredibly odd choices

You ever read one of the classics that's pretty well-regarded and just think "man, this guy really hated women"

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

If you have questions or fears about this, we have the perfect opportunity for you: A scholar who is publishing a book on the Census and how it all works and shapes politics has agreed to an AMA with Bolts readers on the Census. Share any question here! boltsmag.org/how-the-cens...

People tell me they like suits but don't have occasions to wear one. You can wear a suit to court, funerals, and religious services. Doesn't have to be your trial, friend's burial, or religion you believe in. Go to random trials, attend a stranger's burial, join multiple religions. Try it sometime.

My job as a designer is not always to make everything super simple and opinionated and correct, handed down on tablets from above – but to give people agency, and make complex choices approachable as part of an interface.

I haven't been following the light/dark toggle discussions, but my uninformed take is pretty simple: Stop Acting Like Design Decisions Have A Correct Answer (and then stop acting like the correct-answer machine is a real thing worth building)

I feel like an issue that would connect well with voters would be doing anything at all to slow the current progression toward "absolutely everything now is a scam"

The Los Angeles Queens, the New York Heights, the Boston Hunters and the San Francisco Firebells take the field in Springfield, Ill., as the Women's Pro Baseball League kicks off its inaugural season. n.pr/4bAVbYC

I would rather have pronghorn antelope and bighorn sheep and elk and purple sage and four wing saltbrush than data centers and so far no one in tech has presented a compelling vision for how to have all of those things, they just seize more resources for the plagiarism engine.

Sagittarius: Pack a light suitcase and make sure your gas tank is full. Your chances of being run out of town by an angry mob this week are quite high.

Considering buying an orbital sander. I hope @maureenjohnsonbooks.com knows how inspirational she is.

Hey Coloradans: one simple thing you can do today is call the director of the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment and ask them to issue a public health order for the Aurora GEO detention facility. To call: 303-692-2000 and press 8, then 7, to leave a message.

I would not give the DNC money if I was on fire and they had the only bucket of water, man. I need to believe they're gonna do something useful with it and right now I don't. I'll give to candidates & organizations who earned that trust.

PSA on the Victoria Line tube in London. Phillipson and every other GC weirdo needs to take note.

I know that most of our digital tools are controlled by awful billionaires and it's almost impossible for us to divest ourselves of all of them. But I think that X and Substack are so horribly toxic that everyone should avoid them as much as possible.

Thought for the day: It never ceases to amaze me how today's techbros' vision of the future they want defaults to fully automated leopard-face-chomping neo-feudalism rather than fully automated luxury gay space communism.

I don't think we should have an institution where we concentrate this much power with 100 people who we trap in a bubble disconnected from the lives of the average citizen and then hope they can respond correctly when their colleagues do evil that never impacts them because of the bubble.

CEO Reveals How He Used AI To Build One-Person Company That's $1.3 Billion In Debt

As the tensions on the shrinking Colorado River rise (as the river flows fall), a reminder of how we address #water rights issues.

"When someone shows you their N*zi tattoo, believe them." another good read from Marisa, and one that I think leftists should read. just because they're a leftist doesn't automatically make them a good person.

So we've decided to replace making video games with just giving like four or five guys a hundred million dollars a year apiece to oversee not making video games
