Apple: Who should portray the wasted shell of a man who made computer use compelling for an audience beyond a bunch of weirdo hobbyists in Northern California?

Also Apple: Who's dating Dua Lipa right now?

Stephen Miller talks like every nerve in his body is forcefully trying to reject what his mind is telling it to say but he powers through anyway & yet the most remarkable thing about him is how his eyes are more soulless than Pinhead's while his appearance entirely What If Buster Bluth Had A Wario

It's really hard to study for comps when @themountaingoats.bsky.social drop an album this dense and fascinating. I'll have to live off the rich musical pleasures of it for a while until I can give the lyrics and orchestration the attention they deserve. Thanks, John &co., this is a real gift!

What an amazing tech solution to a real problem! An AI that helps us "get around" book bans by asking, "Have you tried complying with it and reading these similar but regime-approved works?"
Look how fast it moves! Look how much it breaks!
"It's part of a fascist project to offload the work of thinking... If we can offload that cognitive work, it's far too easy to become reflexive and hateful, while having a robot cheerleader telling you that you were right about everything all along.”

The central lie — the key dishonesty — of modern conservatism is that being judgmental about the ethnicity or language or culture of the person next door is fine and acceptable, but being judgmental of that attitude is elitist and arrogant and closed-minded. What vapid bullshit.

@dimension20.bsky.social had me nostalgic for my rowdy past, so I stopped into this place, and you wouldn't believe how reasonable the instructor was!

Every time someone makes me read something Peter Thiel said it’s like “Scrooge McDuck is Jesus Christ and Huey, Dewey, and Louie are Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel and Daisy is Mary Magdalene and that’s why women voting has lowered American sperm count.”

the nation's rich assholes were all so violently butthurt by Lina Khan doing the bare minimum on antitrust, and Covid shifting the balance of power toward labor by a fraction of one percent, that they just threw completely in with an idiot con man fascist

Precisely what part of the algorithm slashing Virginia's regulatory policies is accountable to the voters? Who gets to be responsible when MechaHitler's cousin mistakenly allows industry to drop corrosive runoff directly onto Misty of the fucking Chincoteague?? wtop.com/virginia/202...

i think the big middle event between george floyd protests and covid that accelerated this hard right turn in elite circles was tech employees using slack to stage walk-outs and force concessions from management. tech bosses got a first whiff of organized labor's power and started reading mein kampf

@allodarlin.bsky.social, I'm going through the album again, and it's stunning. As someone who became a parent in the time between your last album and this, Slow Motion has both destroyed and reconstructed me. Thank you for this gift!

This time it’s a bank named Erebor, a reference to the mountain which holds Smaug’s piles of gold and treasure.
