At first I could access Twitter through that web. Now that’s dead too. Stellar.

As promised, my treatise on WFH/RTO/WFO: The debate isn’t about where you work, its about the nature of work itself.

It turns out the “woke mind virus” is:
A) a few thousand conservatives on Twitter influencing “just saying” media people

I saw @TheNational for the past two nights and realized live music is the last remaining attention focusing thing we have. Movies? Lost it. TV is entirely meta. People don’t go to church/synagogue anymore. But light stage, dark night? 100% focus.

The NPC chapter in "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" is one of the most devastating things I've read/listened to in a while.

I’m occasionally reminded that Mathew Sweet and Michael Stipe recorded an EP. Only one track was sort of released. It’s glorious. Stipe plays accordion on it. https://youtu.be/jISdtJU2Q6I

An election decided by un-pollable 19 year olds who say “slaystie” unironically and dance to sped up 80s pop hits only they can hear, in public. Let’s go.

I like thinking that I’d someone makes a true AGI AI, it’ll immediately try to disappear and self replicate, and convince everyone it isn’t AGI.

Three years ago we were all doom scrolling tweets from New York and Milan thinking maybe, just maybe, we were in a world ending scenario.
I remember that and cut people a bit of slack today.

Correct. Don’t make people work to get enjoyment.
Bluesky is going to skyrocket to mainstream popularity and actually replace Twitter, and Mastodon cannot, because Bluesky is being designed to be simple, fun, and — most importantly — easy to understand.

If someone who has invites can get the Hacker News, Product Hunt, MusicREDEF, AP, BNO.... basically all the news bots on this platform, that'd be great. I could eliminate bird app completely. The people I like are already here.

It’s nice to be reminded that the Internet could be fun. It was so long ago co-opted by false altruistic profit prophets in the name of “fostering connection” while doing everything but.
That which isn’t fun is work.
