Finally being on a platform without real followers is so liberating. I’m in a cave, posting into the crisp mountainside air, no notifications polluting me

Still extremely curious what the Vanderbilt finance bros behind me thought of You Can See Everything

As someone who came up posting in a niche message board of left-leaning nerds (was the youngest of anyone by a long shot), it's nice that this is now a platform of the exact same group

Got my friend a job and am immediately annoying him on Slack

Saying he'd be cool with Iran nuking my home city is pretty bad but not quite as bad as when Hillary said some trump supporters were deplorable so I can see why the media turned the latter into a major scandal and not the former

Realized that I bartend in the same way Adam Friedland interviews (barrages of overly considered questions, talking over the response the second I get the gist of what they're saying, starting a bit then immediately abandoning it) and it leads to infinite 30% tips

MIT spent $3 million on 500 AI-capable surveillance cameras while laying people off, shutting down libraries, and canceling journal subscriptions. In this article, 4 faculty & I discuss our new arts initiative to celebrate surveillance and repression on college campuses: fnl.mit.edu/how-we-learn...

They should convert the entire state of Iowa into a corn maze for October

Boiler Room set with twelve capybaras bemusedly lounging around behind me

The obvious risk from AI is that our institutions are premised on human contact and trust. Bank fraud and identity fraud will skyrocket until someone finds a solution. Do you think your 80 year old uncle won’t believe an AI that calls him pretending to be you under financial duress?

Must-read, at @theunpopulist.net: "Abolish ICE Before Its Abusive Tactics Spread to Other Law Enforcement: A Conversation With @radleybalko.bsky.social" (And, yes, redistribute its legitimate functions to other agencies with less toxic cultures.)

Realizing, unfortunately, that Boz Scaggs Silk Degrees is a perfect album. Sun drenched erudite Americana suffused with impending doom. Encapsulates 1976.

Was at a house party ln and the DJ took a break to drink a quart of carrot juice and use a spine lengthening device

It’s so cool that the lion’s share of AI capex is to destroy human creativity and cognitive capacity instead of, like, more efficiently sorting trash or automating cleaning your house

During meetings I imagine Scott Storch soundtracking everything I say masterfully. This is how you manufacture success

The showtime guys should abandon the subway and do front flips over the new fare gates

30% of womyn nyc transplants think they live in a TV show, the question is which one. Meanwhile, every day of my enlightened, perfect life is a season of High Maintenance

Losing 10 sanity at tom hardy being a better rapper than me

Curtis Sliwa is the highest information Average American Voter to exist

While Boston tries to protect residents from needlessly amplified car noise, the Trump administration is literally encouraging it x.com/SecDuffy/sta...

Being out so late they’re setting up the farmer’s market>>>

The Hunts Point Cooperative has strung out and stalled redevelopment of this facility for ~20 years now -- effectively holding the city's produce supply hostage. Enough.

A 125 St subway should be a slam dunk. But at $7.7B for 1.25 miles, and with stations deep underground, current plans would not only build the most expensive subway in the the world, but would cost riders valuable minutes every single trip. It's not too late, however: www.etany.org/reports/digg...

MEET THE PRESS: Do you support birthday cake? HAKEEM JEFFRIES: Look, I support blowing out candles, I support having streamers, I want party hats. We are focusing on hard-working middle class Americans having the birthday of their dreams.

Herbie Hancock literally in the studio

Words build meaning from mutual social connotations. Our vocabularies revolve around communities, rising and falling with our own societies. AI destroys that. It reduces words into flat signifiers that will mean far less attached to us. I wish I was smart enough to express this idea in more detail

feels nice to be gen z age but oppose data centers on adbusters baffler granola style grounds

i’m sorry but this is a valid teaching technique

People are right to be mad about the predictable Platner fiasco, but it's worth remembering that last year a ton of establishment Democrats supported disgraced sexual harasser Andrew Cuomo against clean-as-a-whistle Zohran. Tolerating problem men is an issue across the ideological spectrum.

much our country, including our elites, live in a farcical anti-reality where Trump's was running on "secure the border, throw out the criminals" and Biden was running on "open borders." In reality Trump actually supported "mass ethnic cleansing" and Biden ran on "secure the border"

Dropping election takes since NYC certification website is frozen: 1. NY-7 isn't really a bellwether. Reynoso is literally the -only- person in the district who could beat the Valdez+DSA coalition, no one else has impeccable progressive credentials & personal relationships. And he has S Williamsburg

If you’re a young poor band and you don’t have one young poor artist friend to make the posters you’re fucked. You’re already fucked.

my man looking like the baby from the Teletubby sun grew up to be an alcoholic

US higher ed has problems, but mostly it is a miracle of big public investments generating massive returns in terms of economic gains, innovation, and exports. But God forbid the paper of record takes a break from joining in the populist assault of a great American success. bsky.app/profile/quan...

this is what some of you look like in short sleeve button-up shirts

It is my duty to inform you that there are baby capybaras at the Sacramento Zoo

It's so ludicrous when people act like we -need- AI when society ran fine two years ago. We don't need it! We could make things just fine! Art was doing great! You could make a website and a spreadsheet!!

"Donald Trump filed a fake lawsuit against his own government so that that he could 'settle' it and give $2 billion in taxpayer dollars to reward January 6 rioters" is the kind of story that makes you sound unhinged if you say it out loud, but is also 100 percent accurate

Grew up listening to Loveline on my radio alarm clock when I couldn't sleep, marinating in Psycho Mike's Spencer Pratt impression. No clue who he was. He might be mayor of LA?????

I was working on a lot of spec scripts last summer
