You're gonna want to read this comedy gold of a legal judgment
>The proceedings have been protracted, tortuous and attended by a comedy of errors sufficient to inspire the producers of "The Castle" to consider making a sequel.

I love it. A Modern day mobile-first Usenet flood fill network.

And here in bluesky, floating on an ark, with your nearest and dearest and a curated menagerie of beasts
honestly the bsky conceptual design of a single global roiling data feed you skim what you want off of and filter out what you don't is what I always dreamed twitter would become. user-controlled algos, opt-in moderation at the endpoint, custom clients, dev freedom...

The God tube was early linear TV - Everyone jacked into a narrow feed of information.

Then we tried to tower of babel it, and alas now we live among the fragmented ruins of our communication landscape, forever caught in the cycle of trying to translate meaning across subcultures and niches

Maybe covid is a better analogy for posts than we think?

The initial posts/strains are optimised for intensity and hit the hardest. Over time the environment selects for genes/memes that are contagious rather than intense.

Wow Richard dawkins really crushed it inventing memes
the strains these days are way stronger than when twitter was founded

This post made me notice that bureaucracy is unhappy-coded.

I wonder what a happy-coded bureaucratic practice/object would look like?

Maybe like how people are happy with and frame their degrees?
