And where we’re at today is a complete denigration of that dream. Early Twitter compared to X as now. The death of Geocities and MySpace. “Pivot to video.”
We caught a glimpse of paradise (granted, with some problems), and then we let late stage capitalism drag us back into “number MUST go up.”
No joke, I think this might be one of the most important roles for tech-savvy Millennials/Gen Xers.
We caught a glimpse of an amazing world, one that was almost entirely free of corporate or political influence because the suits hadn’t caught on yet. We could talk with ANYONE in an age of landlines
Perfect college sports story
AI evaporates a lake a second? You got it
AI is plagiarism? You got it
AI depends on child slavery in some country you’ve never been to? You got it
But these numbers are only big to you because you haven’t shipped something that’s been used by a lot of people
it takes 2 clicks to download
its not rocket science
Explaining “decentralized” social media is harder than downloading an app
Facebook has billions of users because it’s used around the world.
This is literally how software works.
lmao
Trump is the leader of the pedophile protection party.
Trump is in the Epstein files 38,000 times.
Trump wrote to Epstein about their “wonderful secret.”
Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet (and lied.)
Just so that we are clear, Israel drops criminal charges on five Israeli soldiers who were caught on camera sexually assaulting a Palestinian detainee. But Israel will keep kids in prison for decades because they were throwing rocks? Make it make sense 🤦🏽♀️

Where is this coming from?
They shouldn’t have called her job and shit but she may or may not have deserved the vitriol online
There are some bare minimum social niceties we used to care about and were convinced to let go of because, “that’s not gonna make the white man treat you any better” but what if I told you EVERYTHING AINT ABOUT THEM!!!
YES!!!!
I like how Miami is pretty clearly not a good team but is also 31-0. There is really no one like them ever
"Immigrant receiving"...
Did you know that four of the top five "immigrant receiving" countries by percentage of population speak Arabic? Or that Saudia Arabia is third by sheer body count? But we of course mean that as a euphemism for "White," so who cares about tiresome little things like facts.
If anything, even now, considering the fallout of Black women pushed out of the workforce would be characterized as “woke” nonsense. As we see the consequences of just this politics all around us the complete dismissal is what they hold fast to.
They’re concerned about their career consequences for coming out against the rampant misogyny aimed towards them now, after directly working to have thousands of women pushed from the workforce. Those women already affected, their targets, are never in the frame of these discussions.
One of the things I think people should grapple with is the easy description of “Peak Woke” as haughty moralism, only to then describe the “race science” of the right as a secret thrill. Feels like the “woke” people knew about the race science, but even in these mea culpas, it can’t be said.

They act like this dumb motherfucker is some great political mind. This country is so stupid.
his brother also saved Abe Lincoln's son's life before the shooting
it's like if George Clooney shot Barack Obama. Booth was THAT famous.
None of us do, man, and yet ...
I love this for you
It may take decades but I haven’t been wrong yet.
Not once. Every marriage I said would break up is over.
All the ones I said would work out are still going.
The lesson here is that I wish lotto numbers were as easy to figure out as people.
Latest PPP poll on TX Sen.

Remember a week ago when Trump said he was going to endorse the next day and tell the other candidate to drop out. Well somehow that hasn't happened yet. I wonder why?

They pulled the plug on this disaster, but I hope they're still sued into bankruptcy as a warning to other companies.
The First Amendment is clear: The government can't punish journalists for unflattering coverage.
