Platformer News at the intersection of Silicon Valley and democracy. On Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday at 5PM Pacific.

If you want good discourse on the Anthropic/OpenAI/DoD situation, @caseynewton.bsky.socialβ€˜s platformer coverage is the best and most nuanced I’ve read. The last 3 articles are well worth the read www.platformer.news

My introduction to Chris Fleming were his β€œGayle” YouTube videos. I’ve never been able to say β€œDave” without a hint of contempt since

We’re still here at PBS. We had some layoffs and had to make cutbacks, but we’re still being supported by viewers like you! Donate to your local station: pbs.org/donate

One of the reasons I went to work for #PBS was a deep commitment to teaching which is something I care deeply about.

I’m very disappointed in rescinding the already congressionally approved funding. Thank you to everyone who contacted your congresspeople supporting PBS

The problem is, how do you β€œsell” these sorts of reforms? Nobody who wants to be the executive wants to have fewer powers, a slower more deliberative government. It seems people in congress don’t care about law making or asserting their powers, they just want a pulpit or to make money on investments

People (& news & social media) don’t focus on β€œhow we got here”, just on the immediate issue. Yes, the dems helped create the environment where an executive exert this power. They just didn’t due to β€œpolitical norms”. Then someone came along who doesn’t care about β€œpolitical norms”.

Inside Meta’s dehumanizing new speech policies for trans people "A trans person isn't a he or she, it's an it," reads a new guideline telling moderators what is now allowed on Facebook and Instagram

β€œAlex Schultz [Meta CMO] and highest-ranking gay executive, suggested in an internal post that seeing their queer friends and family members abused …could lead to increased support for LGBTQ rights.”

Telling people being that abused is a good thing!? What a POS

Loved your latest video. Quick question: you mentioned you didn’t like your Lofree Flow keyboard. Any particular reason why? I ordered the Lofree Flow Lite and I was wondering if I would regret it
