The uncanny valley in 2025: beautifully rendered, navigable generated 3D worlds, but water doesn’t flow, wind doesn’t blow, light doesn’t change, and there’s nobody home. Super impressive, but disturbingly sterile.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.”

It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”
America... boy, I dunno.

When I joined Samsung in 2012 the mission was to revolutionize mobile design across hardware, software and especially services. They have had many good design leaders over the years. The problem is not design; it is a fundamental corporate culture gap.

For the sake of posterity I thought I'd do a thread on all the epically stupid things Trump has done in recent days.

1) Let them eat ballroom

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom
The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).

But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

When tech is built to replace and not empower people, the future of work & democracy is at risk.

@garymarcus.bsky.social sounds the alarm about unchecked AI and discusses how we can reclaim tech for the public good. #GoodLife https://bit.ly/4nBRcPh

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

A photo that I snapped an hour ago of the San Francisco #NoKings protest. I estimate about 150,000 people in total.

Jon Stewart is a legend & the way this show is trying to explain to a mainstream audience the gravity what is happening in the US is amazing. It was both thrilling & terrifying to be part of it. Thank you @TheDailyShow 👏

“Our task is to build a wide and deep movement, as spiritual as it is political, strong enough to stop these unhinged traitors. A movement rooted in a steadfast commitment to one another, across our many differences and divides, and to this miraculous, singular planet.”
THE RISE OF END TIMES FASCISM

My first major piece of the new Trump era, co-written with @astra.bsky.social.

The governing ideology of the far right has become a
monstrous, supremacist survivalism.

Capitalism can't solve the problems capitalism creates, thus the violence, the destruction, the capture of collective governance.

Fifty years from now, we’ll still be seeing lawyer ads for ‘victims of unlawful government cuts’, the same way we have them for mesothelioma from asbestos today. “You may qualify for money, call us now”

Most absolutely basic, basement-level rule of law has just five (5) votes on the Roberts Court. Do not be comforted by this.

It suggests there are 4 votes for fascist dictatorship on the court
BREAKING: By a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court LIFTS its hold on a lower court order compelling the Trump administration to resume nearly $2 billion in foreign aid funding. The funds MUST be disbursed. Roberts and Barrett join the liberals.

Obviously, this is huge. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
