The main business model of Silicon Valley from Uber to AirBnB to Spotify is: skim profit off others' goods and labor. Often in ways that are exploitative of individuals or destructive of larger forces (as with Amazon and the retail that kept people heading out in public).

A thing I don’t really get about being racist or homophobic or transphobic is how much work it is. You’ve got to be on edge all the time, evaluating if the person you’re interacting with is the right or wrong kind of person, making all these weird ass rules for yourself. Much easier to be chill.

DOCTOR: I told him he needed to get out to a show, that was how he would cure his depression.
CHOTINER: So you learned this technique in school?
DR: No, not— listen it was good advice. Pagliacci was in town.
C: Right. Is it standard to give advice before learning a patient’s name?
DR: Now look

Youngs Boys were 2-0 down to Stuttgart, but they're level now.
And Sandro Lauper has just entered his nomination for goal of the tournament.
Hovering on the edge of the box, he connects with Edimilson Fernandes' ball from the corner — and it leaves Fabian Bredlow with no chance.

I think the issue is, at least when it comes to columnists paid to have correct ideas about things, that the people changing their opinions tend to offer little to no reflection on how or why they were wrong, and even less humility when dealing with the people who were correct.
Bluesky idea: if people who didn't agree with you change their opinions so that they do agree with you, why not be happy that you are making progress - rather than complaining that they are "only just catching up"?

I don't have the email chain but can confirm I did enjoy the fact that my job allowed me to interview Italian pop star Gala about the Northern Ireland striker Will Grigg in 2016
Can confirm that being a journalist is occasionally very sick indeed.

stop using AI to do your research. it hallucinates too often. if you want an answer to something, post something arrogant on the appropriate subreddit. something like: "this item performs 10% better than everything else. only idiots deny this." this will bait nerds into doing your research for you.

Really enamoured with the phrase "if you need a reason to not support any upcoming Earthworm Jim stuff"
Hey, if you need a reason to not support any upcoming Earthworm Jim stuff.....you can go on X, The Torment App and see the creator Doug TenNapel talk about how great AI is and quote tweeting everyone who disagrees.
I wouldn't suggest it though.
