i am always blown away by just how far ahead of its time DS9 was. really some of the most remarkable feats of writing in TV history. and the kind of show that could only have worked with 30+ episode seasons

Also talked about The Onion being inefficient on purpose.

www.status.news/p/the-onion-...
What has it been like shifting from reporter to media executive, managing a staff instead of filing stories yourself? And do you write any of the jokes at The Onion? Or are you strictly managing the business? The Onion’s process is deeply, beautifully inefficient. Every day, our writers take 150 headlines into a physical writers room in Chicago and whittle them down to maybe one or two. These people throw away the funniest sentence I will ever write in my life six times by noon every weekday. The point of taking over this place was to preserve this process, which I learned this week is almost assuredly more rigorous than The New York Times. That’s why I don’t touch any of it. I just try to get more people to pay attention to the output, and get our work into different mediums and new places. We brought back the paper, reinvested in the Onion News Network, bought a full page ad in The Times for something they were going to write anyway. The role is to make the world-class work they’re already doing seep into everyday American life more frequently, and that’s working. You actually can do this, you know. You can just try to highlight the beauty of things you like and not try to vampirically extract value at every step. If people get one thing out of this whole Q&A, I hope it’s that. You do not have to make an A.I. version of your own employees that operate at 1.5x speed but produce purely iterative garbage, especially in media and journalism. People don’t actually want that shit. Make a good, human thing and people will bend over backwards to support you. This is a valid way to run a company.

I think this might be the year I’m done with social media. I love the idea of it. I love keeping up with friends and sharing my life. But I’m tired of feeling like a rat in a maze. 🧵 1/5

I really like this line from @linusmediagroup.com's Techlinked, where Riley says he's "nostalgic for a time when every product didn't come along with a little homunculus inside constantly tripping on shrooms but INSISTING he's sober." I couldn't put it better myself!

@dylanbeatt.ie Here’s a weird alphabetization series. This list of cities on the Feeld dating app puts São Paolo after Singapore but before Sydney!

A tsunami of people twisting themselves into origami at the thought of Japanese words in English. Maybe they should stick to playing sudoku on their futon, or maybe pet a Shiba Inu and sing some karaoke instead.

NYT has comment sections for every Wordle and yesterday's Wordle was "MANGA"
"a Japanese genre consisting of comic books and graphic novels, typically black-and-white and featuring stylized characters with large, round eyes.' Foul! How many english speaking people would ever have heard of this word? Ok, the word is in Merriam W, but I have to say that I take exception to a word that is so unEnglish (also not a word), when there are so many English words that might have been the answer. What's more, it is a Japanese word that refers to something Japanese! It's enough to put me off Wordle, not that anyone will notice, or, if they did, care. I just burst a 327 day streak and I think I am done. Not a fair word imho. Or as someone else said. at least for us golden oldies. I had also never heard of BANAK which wordle accepted when I was playing with letters. Have a nice wordle life everyone. I probably will not be back. At least for awhile. And I will probably get two hours more sleep a night You whipped me. I guess I have to start acting my age! Seriously- unless you're of Japanese background, you may have never heard of this word. A real stretch here by the editors.

The new BlueSky Icon is a BIG improvement! The old one, while more literal, lacked any kind of focus. 🦋

Rolling Stone’s pulling no punches. I won’t celebrate someone’s death, but I hope more people get informed about what an evil man he was.

That's what pushed me to seek out an invite code.

I'm still really sad/mad that one megalomaniac could so quickly destroy a vibrant online community.

Maybe this is just anecdotal but I think the X thing was the final straw for a lot of people. Seeing a lot of pals crossing over.

This is the actual wallpaper I had on Windows XP. I made it myself when I was first learning Photoshop. It's like a time capsule of the early 2000s.
