Western Orthodoxy Church led by the Wichita Papacy reluctantly declares an end to the 2032 crusade to re-Catholicize Quebec after the Trump Class Battleship "Charlie Kirk" flounders in the Gulf of St Lawrence, having suffered catastrophic damage from a dozen uncrewed Skidoos with a shaped charges
Our strategic relationships are always enraging because we don't bring enough dps
You have to build software thoughtfully if you want people to use it and like it. Or at least tolerate it. And, from what I seen, AI coded software is industrial-grade thoughtlessness.
Google Meet has a disabled button for recording with zero indication as to why it is disabled. The help documents reference settings that no longer exist and a bot infested help forum that says it could be several different issues. Zoom? It's just a button that works immediately.
I want to avoid giving a flippant answer to "why couldn't large companies just copy your idea" but the genuine truth is that they really are dysfunctional and/or incompetent. The graveyards are filled with follow attempts like that (Google Circles, Knol, Facebook phone, Amazon's Fire phone, etc).
The US is currently run by a three-circle Venn diagram of billionaire pedophile Nazis and there is no place for an opposition party that seeks the approval of, or an accommodation with, *any* part of it
Once, technology solved problems. People liked having problems solved, so they liked technology.
Tech execs started to think of that sentiment as their due. So when they stopped solving problems, and people stopped liking them, they became outraged. "How dare you not love whatever we give you?"
C’est rigolo, ce strip avait tant tourné sur feu twittos que ça a été le début de plein de choses pour moi. 8 ans (!) ont passé, je retombe dessus et je le trouve juste ultra perché maintenant haha. L’humour, c’est quand même vachement contextuel.
(je l'aime bien quand même, hein)
Whoa, wild. Why did they change their minds? What events could have happened in 2023 and 2024?
It is clear that something has shifted. Abolish ICE is not just the mainstream position, it is also the only moral one. I have seen up close what their occupation has done to Minneapolis. They are an affront to human dignity. A rogue paramilitary force that will execute you in the street like an animal and count the bullet holes when they’re done and smear your name online to cover their tracks. A kaleidoscopic nightmare of state violence and Silicon Valley-sponsored surveillance run by internet-brainrotted fascists and hapless podcasters that forces normal people, like Pretti or Renee Good or Keith Porter, to respond the only rational way one can to such a thing. You must oppose it with whatever you have. Hide your neighbors and arm yourself with whistles, barricades, Signal groups, geolocation tools, cellphone videos, and, if need be, you go on strike. Which is why, tomorrow, instead of our usual Friday issue, Garbage Day is joining the general strike in solidarity with Minneapolis.
I recognize that this might make us seem like less “objective” journalists, but we have a responsibility as Americans. I, also, don’t really give a shit anymore. And neither does my team. We're joining the general strike tomorrow.

Yes I know the notion of almost any part of the democratic party having teeth and/or brains is fiction but it's fun to dream.
I hope when the AI bubble finally bursts and there is an 11 hour bailout bill that barely half the republicans support, the progressive wing of the democratic party has a list of demands that make Treaty of Brest-Litovsk look evenhanded and reasonable
Normally I would be pretty bearish on new social networks and particularly on those that are competing against juggernauts with all the network effects but Oracle people just took over tiktok so maybe skylight.social has a shot

One could say the youth of the nation have fallen out of love with the idea of a kind of liberalism that is willing to make apologies for rank moral failure - the kind possibly best represented by the editorial board of @nytopinion.nytimes.com
TERF shit aside, the worldview of Harry Potter involved making fun of a primary character when they picked up the struggle to abolish the literal in-universe (widely accepted and normalized!) system of chattel slavery
Everybody thinks 'https://' stands for 'hypertext transfer protocol secure' but it actually stands for 'head to this place, sucka' followed by a colon and two laser sounds
It is going to be equally incredibly funny and insanely cringe to watch this guy try to pick up the mantle when It Happens.
Which world leaders are so fucking stupid as to believe Donald Trump has taken military action off the table for Greenland (free square: Keir Starmer)
By now, asteroid 2026 Dreadstone has impacted the Indian Ocean, sparking a firestorm not seen on this planet since the K–Pg Extinction Event. Most people just want to be with their families. Here are three ways effective business leaders can leverage targeted KPIs to turn tragedy 😔 into triumph 💪
this is fucking incredible
Visual voicemail trying to deal with a message in French or Manchurian Candidate activation phrase
An absolute bedrock institution for understanding how the planet works, just civilization-scaled vandalism by the most incurious morons on Earth
APIs where state manipulation is obvious and effects are clear
Two hands have an idea to give each other matching tattoos. Lefty gets a beautiful eagle tattoo rendered on their arm. Now it’s Righty’s turn to be inked, but he looks scared as Lefty wields the tattoo gun to draw a childishly-drawn sloppy eagle
