If your new year's resolution was to follow a more interesting cross-section of the AI/LLM/Botpocalypse Disc Horse and you haven't gotten around to doing it yet, a dear friend made this handy list you can bulk-follow and/or add to your feeds and opt out of at a later time

As a lifelong list person, I've adopted a newer (better?) posture to reading: once I've completed a novel/collection, I'll select which book I *feel* like reading at that point (rather than sticking to a list).

This strategy has me reading way more and enjoying it a whole lot more too. Fun!

It’s so interesting that an outlet that encourages its writers to speak truth to power is flourishing in a media industry where everything else seems to be in decline.

I want that to be a lesson to people. Kowtowing to powerβ€”if your job is not that, nobody fucking wants that. It does nothing for you to pull a punch at this moment. You have to be able to stand up for a baseline of humanity. That’s what we do here. And I’m glad to tell you that they never blinked. They never thought twice about it. They just always were like, β€œAll right, well, let’s keep doing what we do here.”

People keep asking why The Onion is doing well right now, and it's simply because we just refuse to kowtow. I cannot stress enough how good it is for your business and your soul be strong and even fun in the face of the ongoing horror and bullshit.

Kidnapped co-founder of Ledger released as French police hunt for perpetrators David Balland is recovering from injuries suffered in the ordeal. The kidnappers sought a crypto ransom, prosecutors said. The kidnapping punctuates the rising crime rate in crypto.

Co-founder of crypto wallet Ledger was kidnapped by, what one source described to me, as a highly professional group of kidnappers.

He's been freed; investigations ongoing.

Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his.

It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this.

I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock

It's all fun and games until the president-elect launches a memecoin.

Backlash over Trump's shitcoin was near immediate, which was, honestly, kind of a surprise.
