The Menendez Brothers might get an early release. Hey, maybe they’ve reformed. And to be fair, the likelihood that they will kill their parents a second time is very small.

The #BlakeLively smear campaign fascinates me as a striking example of manipulating public perception. Demonstrates how a small team can effectively sway moviegoer & celebrity follower attitudes, echoing concerns abt Russian social media influence in U.S. elections.

En La Casita is similar to NPR's Tiny Desk, but Latin American music and kitchen culture.

Quite enjoyable.

Bsky is really starting to blossom. A sign-flipped twitter where posts and comments tend to have lower harmfulness ratings. People working out ideas and solutions. I like it.

It's complicated, but this sums up my thoughts
I don't love it either, but I'm not sure how you tell a man that he should let his only surviving son rot in prison to respect norms, institutions, and the rule of law, when the country you devoted your life to serving just pretty comprehensively voted they don't give a shit about any of that.

Day after the UHC CEO murder, I'm bicycling down Bay St and see an "INFOE" sticker: it suddenly makes sense. Silicon Valley and Bay Area tech firms -their apps, social media networks, AI/ML/LLM- are all just just the latest turn of the info systems wheel…

Streaming reparations: if your Wrapped includes music you have only streamed, go buy it on Bandcamp.
It’s #BandcampFriday which means is a perfect time to support artists by embracing this antidote to poor streaming income for the majority of acts during Spotify Wrapped & Apple Replay season

This was one of my ideas to make the most of year-end lists from this week’s @drownedinsound.org newsletter

"I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."

OpenAI just partnered w/Anduril, who "specialize in autonomous systems."

I'm picturing that scene from 2001, and also from Edge of Tomorrow, where Tom Cruise's character struggles to make his weapon work.
