This is amazing news @toni.bsky.team!

My mom came to visit and is giving me 200% more information than I want about Meta building a private solar farm in my hometown that has the (ultra-MAGA) citizens up in arms because local government won’t stop it. The “conservative” movement is dead. I just thought it would more enjoyable.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics

The cops in Grand Theft Auto — games that celebrate and reward gratuitous violence — are better-trained and more restrained than these ICE goons.

Imagine going to this screening on a night like this one. The blood of an American civilian runs on a Minneapolis street. These people have no shame.

This is appalling. I can say with certainty that Steve Jobs would be ashamed of Tim Cook at this terrible moment, one of many these days, and he has sullied the last year of his tenure and the Apple brand by his craven need to please shareholders over holding onto some basic values of decency.

Man, I used to be so proud of Tim Cook. This dude grew up 20 miles away and 20 years ahead of me. There was a time I thought I was following in his footsteps. Fuck him. Fuck trump, fuck *gestures wildly* all of this.

Not only have promises been broken around the execution of More MARTA & beltline rail, but these decisions are happening behind closed doors, far away from public view or criticism. We need transparency from MARTA, the Beltline, and our City govt. Uphold the More MARTA referendum and get to work! 🚊

Oh now an ICE commercial, I spoke way too soon

My mom wanted to watch the Vatican midnight mass but I don’t pay for YouTube premium, so we’ve watched about 6 Zaxby’s ads so far.

Apple CEO Tim Cook used to quote MLK and fight for human rights. Today he dines at the White House with MBS, who ordered the death of a journalist. What happened to you, Tim?

The people of Atlanta would like to learn more about this “not having an awful Democratic mayor” thing I keep hearing about

Wall Street Journal headline: “Applebee’s and IHOP Plan to Introduce AI in Restaurants”

lol, yeah, ok

I'm really sorry this is happening to y'all. If I'm ever helpful as a reference or anything please let me know.

Atlanta must go forwards — not backwards — when it comes to Beltline rail - SaportaReport Read Atlanta must go forwards — not backwards — when it comes to Beltline rail by Maria Saporta for SaportaReport here.

Veteran reporter Maria Saporta comes out with a scathing op-ed against Mayor Andre Dickens:

"When Andre Dickens was elected mayor in November 2021, I was filled with optimism and hope for the future of Atlanta.
[...]

Today, I feel betrayed. And I’m not alone."

Welcome back to weird. I'm back in my Tumblr era—and I've never felt more at home The time I went back to reclaim my little corner of the Internet on the beloved social blogging platform we all know as Tumblr.

"It didn’t feel like a platform which one had to upkeep and align to one’s real world persona... For most, it was a personal space—a blog—that one could always return to at any time. There are no expiry dates on always."

I loved reading this about my beloved @tumblr.com. vogue.sg/tumblr-era-o...

This was the most interesting thing about the game imho

This suits you, Atlanta.

Atlanta’s east side has better vibes and food than just about anywhere else in the metro. If you live near the Beltline, you can do a *lot* without getting in the car and dealing with traffic.

Hate it for the Boise State coach but I think Jesus has money on Penn State

I have the flu for the first time in like 20 years, so I’m spending a lot of time wondering why the hell the seal on a bottle of Pedialyte is so strong? Is it important to make it harder to open than a bottle of liquor? Or drain cleaner?

Recent calls, all from mom

I’m basically paying for phone service so one person can call me at this point

I helped make this, just for you.

A 1,295-character summary of a 67-character original text encapsulates all of my feelings about generative AI. Perfect, no notes. ✨

A single sentence transcript of a video call: "Okay, I'm testing Fathom. Let's see if this works. Okay. All right."

A nearly 200-word summary of the transcript, containing gems like "Matt's verbal confirmation ("Okay, I'm testing Fathom") indicates a deliberate, planned test rather than accidental recording" and "Consider conducting more comprehensive tests with multiple participants and longer discussions"

Behold: the entire transcript of my first use of Fathom (the AI note taking thing for meetings), and the truly incredible summary it created from it.

Everything is awful, all the time, but it’ll be funny when the next administration is the first to inevitably have cabinet nudes leak
