The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.

Get excited.

Tech billionaires saying UBI is coming is hilarious because c’mon, how have they acted the last 5 years in response to the prospect of higher taxes on the rich and corporations to fund social programs?

I see a million tech moguls complaining that media coverage has become "anti-tech" like some kind of spontaneous vibe shift, and regrettably few wondering if, maybe, the issue is that a bunch of the tech industry became less worthy of being positive about over the past several years.

I will not be at SF Climate Week, but thanks for the invite.

Cool, but maybe let's finally build some down here too.

Folks who argue that AI is pointless or useless aren't being particularly fair-minded or really engaging with the reality.

But ... companies sure are making it easy to think that.

MSFT *is* the carbon removal market, so if this is anything more than a brief pause, it's a v. big deal & v. bad news for an already shaky sector.

New: The escalating cost of California's climate-driven wildfires now adds $41 to the average monthly power bill for residential customers of PG&E, the state's largest utility - nearly 20% of the bill. Such "climateflation" undermines electrification of the state economy. Free link

One of my favorite films ever and probably the most accurate portrayal of how journalism works … the disembodied voices on the other end of the phone … the scene in Library of Congress where they go through reams of cards only to come up empty

ChatGPT never would have made this error. I'm doomed.

I typed out and re-read several times "about 200 times smaller than the thickness of ...." and then realized there's a word for that: It's thinner.

“If you read that New York Times article on my resignation, some guy I’ve never met who’s calling me “Kate” — I guess we’re on first-name terms, guy I’ve never met — he’s saying it’s all the scientists’ fault.“ 😂

Maybe if I tack "— no, but really!" onto the headline, update your title and repost this piece, people will listen this time. 🤞

In so far as they both reveal a deep naiveté about the obstacles tech companies face when they have to work through the creaky, contested process of building big physical things in the real world.
