I’m sorry do some of ya’ll really think TikTok is some bastion of leftist free speech? Like, unironically? “Lol they’re banning TikTok and it’s driving Americans to discover communism” this is some year-of-the-linux-desktop style delusion, respectfully, go offline and read a book.

When the bubble pops, and it will, you’re not just looking at a few Johnny-come-lately companies shuttering. This is a load-bearing delusion. The entire tech industry is fucked because they all bought in, every VC firm bought in, investors have everything in it. They need to make you like it.
Look: The thing you need to understand about genAI is that every Next Big SV Thing of the last 15 years—NFTs, Web3, Metaverse, VR—has been utterly rejected by the market and the tech grifters know this is their last chance, no more. That’s why there is an apocalyptic level of capital invested in it.

First book of the year is Toward Eternity by @antonhur.com.
Wonderful love letter to the art of poetry and the human spirit. I have little patience for AI narratives in fiction at this point, but this story went down smooth. A slow start and a fast end, but it’s still an easy recommendation.

All I'm saying is, some people will much more readily imagine themselves the CEO, rather than an underinsured worker being fleeced by a system of unimaginable greed.

Turns out, there's no room for politics at Thanksgiving when half the room is arguing about filling the Colosseum with water and the other half is debating whether Fiyero is bi.

My favorite Thanksgiving traditions:
- Explaining that Italian seasoning is not a substitute for rosemary, thyme & sage
- Cooking in a Teflon pan that looks like the surface of the moon
- “Sorry we couldn’t find our baking dish but we have a cake pan does that work?”

The "Bluesky is an echo chamber" people are the same ones who thought college clubs for women and other minority groups were "exclusionary." This feeling of entitlement to every space, that people owe you their ears, that your voice must not only be heard, but heard EVERYWHERE.
Go away.
Go away.

I feel like the entire east coast is spending their lunch break making Bluesky accounts.
Somewhere, a server with a blue butterfly sticker is calling out in agony, and the day has only just begun.

Yearning for the days when Ray Bradbury could name a story "The Women," or "Tyrannosaurus Rex," or "A Piece of Wood," while I scratch "The Ballad of Shadow Swords: Cabal of Twisted Dragon Knights: Book One" into the floorboards and sob.

Checkov's ex machina is when the author brings something in out of nowhere in their (usually established) world to get the plot started, as opposed to resolving it.
The printing machine in sir Pterry's "The Truth" is a good example of this. He needed a newspaper story, so now printing is there.
