Excellent discussion but I think it fails to capture what’s really happening in this interview.
The CEO has just gone off script and promised a slew of features that aren’t part of the product and can’t easily be added. Rubio is the product manager stalling for time to figure out how to undo this.

🧵Day 3 and we have a new meaning for "running Venezuela," courtesy of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, who is in charge of Venezuela as well as the National Archives. We're going to insist they do what's in the US national interest. Time for some principal-agent theory. 1/

I think there's two basic dynamics underpinning shitty mob behavior online, and the Sky Marchini/Will Stancil stuff is an unfortunate example of each. The first is a feeding frenzy - when a post is over-interpreted or just straightforwardly misinterpreted, and especially when it escapes context.

my new AI powered lamp is trained on millions of lamp interactions so it understands that 50% of chain pulls are to turn it on and the other 50% are to turn it off. and honestly, it's a little spooky how it knows exactly what i want almost half of the time

I said the amount of petrochemicals in new residential construction is harmful to us and I was accused of being a lead apologist.
What’s the funniest reason someone got mad at you on Bluesky this year?

I have said this before, I will say this again: arming the Ukrainians to defend themselves is the best bang-for-buck in defense spending in decades.
Give Ukraine munitions and they will reliably put those explosives on America's enemies.
Just not on Trump's enemies and thus the problem.

moment of joy just yesterday: a solicitor rang my doorbell trying to sell me new siding. I said I couldn’t afford it since I got laid off. He said “oh that’s too bad. what about your spouse, does she work?” No, I’m divorced, I said.
Dude’s shoulders slumped and he left.

The end of the year tends to bring out all the negative stories, so let's flip that. Quote-post or reply with a positive story, something good that happened or that you're proud of, a moment of joy, etc.
