Hey remember that whole "Bluesky doesn't have algorithms" thing

I know people want to frame everything through the most villainous and monstrous political entity of the 20th century, but the second Trump regime and the Republican Party architecture that supports it are best understood as a neo-Confederate project.

What if the stories we’ve been told about socialism are incomplete — or strategically incomplete?

Kristen R. Ghodsee revisits her early fieldwork in Bulgaria and makes a powerful case: even flawed socialist systems got some things right.

If you're looking for a sincere, nicely written and improv'd holiday movie, The Baltimorons is a great, sweet and surprisingly deep movie. A nice antidote to the hyper-commercial holiday film.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.
the nyt posts this stuff like avoiding AI for 48 hours is hard and meanwhile i have literally never once intentionally used an AI program for anything ever

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself
An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.
