I don’t get why that key detail is so hard for them—they seem to genuinely believe they’re too smart for it?

If this is what they are doing with the AI, what do you think they are doing with the much simpler and easier to control algorithm that chooses which posts you see and which of your posts are seen by others?

My hot Frankenstein take is that Frankenstein is a textually rich work and the beauty and longevity of these works is that different people can interpret them through radically different lenses. Making your monster movie about accepting your father/son's flaws is a new lens that enriches the corpus.

performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

It’s wildly disingenuous for @aaron.bsky.team to reply to queries about Sarah Kendzior’s suspension about how they don’t comment publicly on individual users when he knows that we all know that they haven’t even told her privately what the basis for the suspension is

There’s actually an obscure state law that says that if you’re a white guy who went to Harvard and you can say “nothing can be done” in a snide tone while posing as a pragmatist, the New York Times is legally obligated to publish anything you write

This is a good thread and believe it or not I think, of all things, the Sherlock Holmes canon does a good job of exploring this. Holmes himself even says the isolation of the countryside breeds a certain kind of callous lawlessness not present in the city.
1. In the wake on Mamdani’s win, we’ll see a lot more far right anti-urban sentiment. Here’s a thread on its roots and evolution.
The idea that the city is evil and corrupt, and the countryside innocent and pure, goes back a long way: to Theocritus in Alexandria, and to the Old Testament. 🧵

The official name of the magazine is Typebar Magazine. Typebar, of course, can be used for short but if you’re referring to us for any reason and want to use the proper term that’s what it is.
