15+ years old, but still VERY relevent — and if we had acted 15 years ago, the “better world” we’d be creating would be a LOT better & easier to reach. There are real consequences we’re just starting to see to not heeding this cartoon a lot sooner.
Even worse if we don’t heed it now. #ClimateCrisis

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.

while i appreciate @404media.co explaining this, if you ever find yourself explaining to someone why smart glasses recording people is different from a smartphone, i think you have to consider that they're playing with you, and you're playing back in turn.

you can convincingly portray this whole financialized AI edifice as a mortgage crisis-style house of cards without even mentioning that the fundamental product is unreliable, based on outright theft, and people don’t like it.

I've been working on the internet full time since about 2007. Nearly 20 years I've been up to my ass in this. To this day I don't know if anyone legitimately does No Nut November & if they do, I can't fucking understand why. I get everything, I understand the idea. I just don't believe it's real.

Tolkien fought in the Battle of the Somme. He saw the horrors of war, and the moments of bravery and fear within it up close.
And after all that. ALL that. He wrote Lord of the Rings. He declared true bravery and masculinity to be love, friendship and humbleness.
Musk is everything he hated.

If you’re worried about Pino adjusting, apply the Kamada Principle. Even players with great talent take time.
What matters is his persistence, determination and willingness to fight on. With the right attitude he’ll adjust.
With this manager trusting him he’ll get the time to.
So wait.
