I don’t care if you don’t “get” art!
Go to an art museum with a friend, you won’t regret it.
You can spend the whole time criticizing it for laughs or just using the imagery for seeds for conversation.
Maybe some of it will fascinate you. You don’t have to “get it” though. You can just “use” it.

At this point I can actually make more reliable, consistent, and even BETTER money per hour as a personal trainer than as a software engineer.
This isn't strictly b/c of AI -- globalization has been pushing things that way for years -- but AI certainly helped.

The United States wants the unilateral authority to decide who should be able to use certain technologies.
In a new piece, I talk about everything from Iran to Andor to discuss how US tech supremacy gives it power over others that it’s working hard to maintain — to all of our detriment.

Why should the US decide who can have certain tech?

This is the reality "stay on Twitter" people are ignoring: you're playing a carnival game rigged against you. Everything you do is suppressed and everything right-wingers do is promoted. You can't use organic engagement to beat hostile mods with herbicide. (Your "view" numbers are fake too, BTW.)
Over on X, Musk seems to be pushing his own posts directly onto users' notification pages, even if they do not follow him, in a category comically labeled 'Elon Musk' above the breaking news that 'Elon Musk posted'

If nothing else, we deserve UBI paid out from AI companies because we’re all investors in AI.
We deserve a universal basic income. Why?
Because we’re all shareholders in the economy.
If corporations can distribute profits to investors, why can’t the economy reward everyone who helps keep it running? It’s time for a federal UBI.

(yes, I know i can listen to it again, that's not the point.)
I adored the Futurama-takes-over-Star Wars vibe and I'm impressed with the character development and commitment to continuity (often at their own hilariously belabored expense).
Any leads, anyone?

Election denialism on the left is vastly different than election denialism on the right—it’s less widespread, nonviolent, and crucially, unsupported by left-leaning politicians & media. But it’s growing, and it points to the broader spread of conspiratorial thinking.

To wrap this all up, I did a little thread about Bluesky being open source software and what that means. This is very high level, it’s meant for folks who aren’t familiar with open source. Being open is very good.
This aspect is super cool. If you’re not familiar with open source, this means that people can actually view the code, it’s transparent. It also means that people could potentially write the code to make changes to it. It would be up to the Bluesky team to decide whether they incorporated that.
