I really just want to call it a blog and not a newsletter
Can we go back to that
Can we be honest
on this team and gonna keep saying: behind the extremely thin veneer of concern and responsibility of anti-Bluesky takes is the desperate attempt to portray something that is obviously their problem as though it were our problem. nice try. go with God, have a blessed day
Trailing his primary opponent by only two votes, the NC Senate leader might wish election officials had more time to count every vote.
This both-sides, anti-incumbent framing is such a poor read of what actually happened. North Carolina rejected reactionaries, plain and simple.

Glad people are settling on the term "pervert glasses". Bonus points if you also say it while posting a picture of Mark Zuckerberg or call them Mark Zuckerberg's pervert glasses.
This exists unironically it’s called All In Pod
The Trader Joe's ones are, as expected, about 80% as good for about 25% of the cost.
We keep a jar of the TJ's on hand for "special drinks" (shirley temples) for the kiddos because they are also wise to the way of the luxardo and apparently also require shoes?
5. There are criticisms of LLMs that are much more plausible. They are built on a large scale expropriation of the intellectual commons. Demonstrably true! They involve a radical and extremely worrying derangement of power relations in favor of a tiny number of men with weird beliefs. Also true imo.
1. A short thread on a Bluesky phenomenon that might be described as "They are a dead-eyed cultist who must be cast out lest the heresy take root!" OP has blocked me for mocking them - I'd usually obscure their name but since they themselves were quote-dunking to demand someone else be blocked ...
AI execs and engineers: bluesky is mean sometimes.
Also AI execs and engineers: lol. elon just told the fbi to investigate us all as pedophiles and had grok generate an image of him debasing my mom. lol. lmao.
I mean. They spend 18 hours a day posting on the site owned by their next biggest competitor, a man who has repeatedly shown he will do whatever it takes, turn every dial available to him, to win no matter what. I don't think they have a great sense of how much of any of this works!
She just lost the primary— overwhelmingly— to this guy
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez on Iran: “Spain is against this disaster. Because we understand that governments are here to improve people's lives, to provide solutions to problems, not to make people's lives worse.

In the North Carolina General Assembly, Carla Cunningham, Nasif Majeed, and possibly Shelly Willingham, all conservative Democrats who have voted to overturn Josh Stein's vetoes, are on track to lose their primaries. Look at God.
The mother of all punches
AND the Heels won.
Hard to know who’s working harder to pay off my solar panels, the $8k Joe Biden gave me or Trump making the cost of every other form of power more expensive.
You have to mainline info all the time because our information tools make you do so. Infinite scroll timelines, group chats with no beginning or end, recommender algorithms with no sense of place — all of them require constant vigilance to make sense of. We can do better.
I’m angry I understand every one of these references
I think you’re thinking of Benedict Evans. Ben Thompson’s American, lived in Taiwan for a decade or so. Still, your point stands!
And Substack is proudly partnering with one of them
I'm not sure this is a perfect analogy, but it's the same trajectory as what happened to dudes like Nate Silver during lockdown. Real brain-melty stuff for the most privileged people on earth to be told to not take an international vacation this one year.
The ultimate irony of the the guy who coined a genuinely useful term for understanding how tech platforms work getting captured by his audience
Not to be guy-who-called-this-two-years-ago
I really hope someday we take the time to reckon with what lockdown did to a certain Type of Guy’s view of the world
From the last Gilded Age to the present one, elite disinterest remains one of the greatest barriers to great and inclusive public transit. This 1929 ad makes the same argument we must make today. 1/
