Every single person still on twitter, still posting are encouraging young white men to enter the radicalization pipeline of twitter They see their heroes. They want to be like you. So they go where you are, create accounts and while you are too smart to fall for it, they are repeatedly exposed…

"amplify your people" is 100% the best strategy

A tough thing in explaining to people why having children is enjoyable is that all the bad stuff is very easy to explain (lost sleep, lost time, more sickness, less sex, etc. etc.) whereas most of the really good stuff whispers.

The core of everything is corruption. The cruelty, the fascism, the destruction of democracy and reality itself, it's all a means of self-enrichment and empowerment of a class of people that do not give two shits whether we live or die if it means stuffing their pockets. It starts there and expands

as someone who uses llms, i'm totally fine, even happy, about lobste.rs being an anti-llm space. if you want pro-llm stuff you can look anywhere else on the internet. if we want a moderate sort-of-llm community we can create one. niche communities with hardcore value systems are good.

Wait, wait, hold up a second. I just found out that lemons are not a natural fruit but a deliberately cultivated hybrid between citron and a bitter orange. Guys! Life didn't give us lemons we made them ourselves!

With Arc dead, come to Firefox. Let's not give Chromium any more market share. A thriving web is a diverse one. If you want something really close to the Arc experience, check out Zen. zen-browser.app

these fucking guys, man. “surely there must have been some mistake” “nah bro we did that on purpose and our company culture is so wild this is a normal thing to say on the public Internet”

So, whatever else may be happening, we are living through a time of serious destabilization. I think the future is in fact far more widely open than it has been in a very, very long time

If we do this enough times does Meta go bankrupt and get sold to The Onion? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/t...

shitposts aside, this one is serious, my loves: if you’re just waking up and you have any service online running PHP 5.4 to latest, you need to take it down RIGHT NOW and don’t put it back online until after it’s patched absolutely catastrophic vulnerability dropped in the middle of the night

we gotta bring back shame, man society doesn’t work real well without consequences for being an enormous piece of shit in public

A few new works today. A pair of clear, innocent eyes quietly looking at you. What could be on its mind? #shouxinsketch #petart #animalart #illustrationartists #pet #sketch #sketchdaily

Reading some amazing political doomerism this morning. As if humanity didn't climb out of worse holes. The divine right of kings, people! The only way is not up, but that is nevertheless *one of the possible ways*.

In the spirit of "writing more" but definitely also firmly in the "I don't know who this is aimed at other than myself." I found this useful, for me. schembri.me/writing/agen...

Big Tech Is the Biggest Bankroller of Trump’s Ballroom. "Nvidia and Apple gave the most. Each committed $25 million …Microsoft and Palantir committed $10 million each. Amazon, Meta, Cisco, and ServiceNow gave $5 million each … $22 million came from Google’s settlement of Trump’s lawsuit"

First published footage of a russian jet Geran-4 killed by a Vampire system of Ukraine’s 208th Anti-Aircraft Missile Brigade. Rocket-based short range air defense, that was the answer all along.

If you’re not FIFA, keep scrolling… … … You gotta fuckin’ tone it down. We all know how to manipulate him into doing corruption but this is way too obvious. You, Tim Cook, and Switzerland are on notice. Hold it down and just buy his memecoin and a golf membership like everyone else.

If you have a Ruby Central membership, please consider cancelling it and investing in Ruby conferences and gem maintainers instead.

I really had a blast at Rails World. Amanda & crew can never get enough praises for pulling such a great event. However it ended up on a bit of a sour note for me as I'll most likely won't go to Austin next year. 1/9

Because the entire UK political and media apparatus is on twitter reading the firehouse of bullshit jettisoned from the US and thinking that's what's most important to people who live in Midsomer Norton.

1/ MEMOIRS OF A MOBIK, PART 2: Three years after he was mobilised, a Russian medical orderly with the callsign 'Ukol' talks with a fellow 'mobik' about his experiences. He describes the chaos and carnage he found when he was sent to fight in Ukraine. ⬇️

One of the downsides of running conferences. Allowing your desktop be seen by others.

Shitty news cycle? Hit da bricks! - go outside - make a song - buy a new instrument - declutter your house - donate stuff - do that long term maintenance task that doesn’t take that long but you’ve been putting it off because ughck

I have other things I ought to be doing, so please enjoy this drawing of Mr Nathaniel Grew's ice locomotive [The Engineer, 4 Jan 1861].

the hardened industrialists of the 20th century have been wholly replaced with fungible middle-manager types who think business is leveraging debt and maintain control of their paper empires by stock class wizardry and confidence tricks. they only know how to podcast

I know what @davidgerard.co.uk says but the specific way AI chatbots are like cocaine is that you're either in a social circle where everybody uses it nonstop and it's frighteningly normal, or one where everyone hates and pities the users and nobody even knows how to find it
