anyway this article is good. i'm reeeaaaaal fuckin sick of centrist manosphere wastrels pretending not to be right wing and whinging about how cis men are uniquely oppressed by not feeling like the de facto king of everything but especially other genders & children

What Did Men Do to Deserve This?
Changes in the economy and in the culture seem to have hit them hard. Scott Galloway believes they need an “aspirational vision of masculinity.”

The best line in this article, I think, is "But then much of the centrist manosphere’s rhetoric is predicated on refusing to see half of what’s in front of you."

Her identification of the centrist manosphere is in itself important and valuable!
"What some Democrats would prefer, it seems, is a centrist manosphere of their own. (One imagines a podcast studio attached to a well-appointed gym where a bunch of white guys are discussing 'Abundance' over beta-alanine smoothies and doing pistol squats to the theme song from 'Pod Save America.')"

Make the Goddamn meal and put it in your Free Fridge. Write the $100 check to the food bank. Ask your local school what they need for the kids and then go about trying to get that stuff.... Do these things regularly and you are making meaningful contributions to your communities.

I'm not surprised that no journalist has bothered searching for very memorable and unusual phrases from the most recent chatgpt-induced suicide chats, to find out where those phrases were stolen from.

Because they are not good at their jobs.
The funniest thing about how absolute dogshit journalists are at their job, is that when you see a chatbot regurgitate strange sounding phrases the *only way it could do so* is by having stolen them from somewhere.

Searching for those weird phrases, yields the source the chatbot stole.
Google Gemini doesn’t appear to be doing too well:

‘"I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes . . . I am a disgrace to all possible and impossible universes and all that is not a universe," the bot continued.’

Cornell is also the school that hired an Uber exec to run their COVID strategy so 🙃
Among items included in this agreement are an extortion payment of $30M & the requirement of admissions data restricted to race, GPAs, test scores, & school/college of students for what will likely be misconstrued analyses of admissions processes & student academic capabilities & achievement.
Cornell has reached an agreement with the federal government to restore our funding:

I reckon the most interesting subset of discourse here is when presumed [good] factors are actually either actually bad, or there to downplay or dismiss the bad even if the amount of good is way smaller than the bad.

A short thread to explain: on "training for electrification" + "demand response"
I would love it if public discourse on data centers could be just a skosh more sophisticated than "data centers good vs. data centers bad."

this is sneaky as fuck

follow this thread to learn how to turn off a bunch of shit you didn't ask for

(these instructions are for the mobile app)
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Oh wow that was fast! Had a lovely time talking about the New York elections, the tech fascists buying the media, and how everyone hating the fascists gives me hope for the future

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The Feds arent going to leave LA until at least 2028. The city is obligated to allow ICE / DHS / CBP to operate within the city due to 28 Olympics being a National Special Security Event (NSSE). Fascists are not going anywhere. No one is coming to save us except ourselves.

The speed with which salmon have returned to the Klamath - like the Elwha - after dam removal is overwhelmingly hopeful. And in both cases thanks to decades of tireless advocacy by local Tribes.
Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

Lina Khan stans we are SO BACK
For those who don’t know, Lina Khan gave tech bros hell AND her ass to kiss when she was FTC chair. She was busting monopolies left and right. Gave Amazon and Meta the finger too.

This is an EXCELLENT addition to his team.
Khan's appointment sends a message to the tech industry, whose most powerful players have already been critical of Mamdani, a Democratic socialist.

Man, I love whenever I get to do history research. Today I learned that when Lafayette visited Philadelphia in 1824, city leaders showed him Eastern State Penitentiary, still under construction.

Lafayette's reaction: "What!? have you Bastilles in this country?"

and if I have any big earnest hopes about this victory‘s broader significance, one is that maybe, just maybe, we’ve started to correctly and popularly understand that the guy setting $10M on fire rather than giving it away to struggling neighbors is a huge fucking loser and that’s loser behavior
