True or not, make "big beautiful Bill" such an overused joke that it can never be taken seriously again.

This exact same dynamic—dehumanizing fake content made entirely bc Facebook pays people to make it—played out in Myanmar in the run-up to a genocide. @karenhao.bsky.social laid it out in the starkest terms:

I wrote a little bit about how and why AI is good at bureaucracy, which is interesting to bureaucracy freaks like me. aboard.com/ai-is-a-powe...
AI is a power tool for bureaucracy freaks like me
Get an AI to write a short story? It’ll suck. Create a PowerPoint about the ISO-9001 certification process? It’ll be a very, very good start.

If you have the luxury of not cashing in your kids' old devices when upgrading, consider powering them down, labeling it with info about what's on it, and storing it in a cool dry place for a decade or two. I promise it'll be more valuable to them than the current trade-in value when they're grown.

Any time I talk about a wealthy person's outfit, someone in the comments is quick to reply: "They're rich, you think they care?" No one has to care about my opinions or clothes, regardless of net worth.
But let's talk about the connection between wealth and aesthetics 🧵

I bought another new pair of running shoes tho so it’s ok 😅

RAW MILK TIME
I was surprised to find most of the "raw milk cures ___" talking points from the last 20+ years come from one (1) raw milk dairy farmer in California.
Let's get to know him!

My mom was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s, and I have basically spent 4 of the last 6 months in Arkansas taking care of her and getting her meds figured out. 90% of my wardrobe is from Walmart now. Please send avocado toast and boba. Tell my husband and cat and plants that I miss them.

Update: this continues to be my most favorite gadget. I tried another kind that I could control with my phone and it just didn’t feel the same. Something about program 18 is magical.
This muscle zappy gadget that looks like two airtags in an airpods case is my new favorite thing. Almost completely relaxes that one angry muscle in my back, then Mary’s Medicinals 1:1 transdermal compound takes care of the rest.

My fyp tonight is evenly split between le poisson Steve memes and Chinese handbag makers saying they’ve been making all the Gucci/Prada/etc this whole time, the concept of luxury we’ve been sold is a lie and they’re not going to politely stay in the shadows any more

Wonder why iOS app changelogs no longer have detail? Apple prohibits importing server-side code to run the app, and Apple update reviews take a long time, so most new features are hidden behind dynamic flags the server controls. Nobody may initially get the feature or fix they added.
