it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

politics rn are when youre playing a social deception game and one of your teammates on the not-hitler side doesn't want to take the game seriously and you all lose and they don't know why everyone is so upset at them

wonderful read about play, about winning and losing, about the deep sadness that comes for us, about placating it, and what to do about all of that.
To Lose is to Care

The blast radius of how much this is going to suck is going to be huge. Best practice for creatives in Hollywood, for crude self interested reasons alone, is to stay as far away from whatever the fuck is going on at Paramount as possible
David and Larry Ellisons’ sloptastic vision for Hollywood is coming into focus:
“Paramount has reportedly signed a $200M+ multiyear deal for Higgsfield AI to use mass-use Popcorn AI model that ingests dailies and script notes, then outputs regional cuts: new leads, alternate jokes, revised endings”

Jamelle Bouie is such a great follow cause one moment it's a wonderful jazz rec (with bonus insight on black writers/thinkers in the replies!), then it's a photo of taking his bike on the train, then it's insightful commentary on Current Year. Hell yeah!

the good time garden is an insane, surrealist video game about a penis man walking around a pleasure garden and slapping any vaguely sexual element of the scenery. and it's free!

bluesky is pretty stupid sometimes (as any place sufficiently large on the social internet can be) but it is pretty sick that a piece of law journalism is trending on the platform

it rules that the dumb, venal idiots in charge of the country also can't stop themselves from gloating about all their dumb, venal schemes directly to reporters
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Been getting into @plante.bsky.social's Post Games recently and it rocks. It's the kind of informed, inquisitive, and incisive journalism I crave in the games space. It rocks, you should listen! : )

Setting aside graverobbing woman who died in no small part due to men exploiting her image, copyright violations aren't "growing pains." It's literally the law. They’re breaking the law. Without copyright law, there is no creative industry, and without a creative industry, there is no genAI.
Despite early, and familiar, copyright growing pains, Sora may be the prelude to AI-generated on-demand TV and movies

Foreign Fruit by Katie Goh is a maddening read because
1) it's this thoughtful, painstakingly layered and researched piece of art that invites empathy
and
2) it makes me feel so bad at writing. like. reading this book makes me feel like I don't know how to speak English, let alone write it.
