I've watched as the narrative has gone from "don't tax them, entrepreneurs create jobs!" to "don't tax them, billionaires create jobs!" and I can't wait to see the excuse for not taxing them once those entrepreneurs and billionaires get rid of all the human jobs in favour of AI and robots.

Logically somebody in a foreign country could say “the people in America voted for government services controlled by Donald Trump and deserve X” but blue staters wishing the worst on red staters always seem to feel that the election-based death should stop at the state level

Trump said Iran told him they were gonna strike US bases and he said that’s fine.
Stuff that was years of conspiracy theories in my twenties are now just off the cuff admissions that get nearly no coverage.

@bootstheory.bsky.social absolutely kills it on this episode. So good to hear someone lay out the issues with this story in such a clear, passionate manner.
If you want to hear this thread in my Saturday Morning Husky Rant Voice, check out the next episode of @1of200.bsky.social
RNZ's stock response to people who complained about the Alex story includes the claim, "The story, however, is not fundamentally about gender issues, but about the treatment and care provided to a seriously ill person."
Did we read the same fucking article, RNZ

Oh, let me clear that up for you: the goal is to get us to disclose lots of personal information to large platforms. It has nothing to do with "protecting children".

Sometimes a performance is so out of place it makes me question whether they're even a good actor, and Matthew Goode in Dept Q. is that for me. He's soooo petulant and annoying I just can't imagine that's how it was written.

Something to bear in mind when David Seymour has his "conversation" about privatising public services here. The difference between private and public is we have no control over what private companies do.

My favourite thing to notice about American reality and game shows is the contestants are obviously told not to wear black because it doesn’t look good on camera so we get things like Survivor’s loved ones running out of the jungle in bright orange t-shirts.

My absolute favourite thing is when companies with too much money just move UI around for no reason, so years of muscle memory goes out the window and your daily experience of using their software is simply anger.
