ai feature implementation strategy is essentially “how annoying can we make the ui” so people accidently hit ai features so these companies can brag about how “highly used” ai features are internally
Taylor Lorenz tweeting "As for social media 'addiction' there literally is no such thing. No diagnosis for that. Social media is not remotely the same as alcohol, nicotine, or heroin. There is no such thing as 'dopamine hits' which is merely pseudo-science sounding garnish on a load of served-up crap"
lmaooooooo said the biggest socia media addict of all time
I feel like Goodwin is getting a lesson in the fact that, even in hard right politics, you can be either pleasant to work with or good at the job but you do actually need to be one of them. His cardinal error was to be a prickly, thin-skinned arsehole and then lose. No one to blame but himself.
Bezos isn't destroying the Washington Post because it isn't profitable. He's destroying the Washington Post because he's calculated that a robust free press threatens the ability of his class to warp society around their interests
Man people talk a lot about how much different/better movies in the 90s looked and this is a great example of a great-looking aesthetic you just never see in any digital color grade:
instead of lashing out at "coups" and "plots" by Burnham, Streeting etc, have Team Starmer considered just... being less shit at governing?
man the stuff i am seeing on IG from
the most normie, i don’t really talk about politics accounts suggests something different
these are monsters
absolute genius maneuver from bari weiss spiking this story now an exponentially higher amount of people will care about this and watch it anyways
Then you should resign, you’re boring them to death
really cannot be emphasized enough that bari weiss has literally never done journalism. i don’t mean that in the pejorative sense. i mean that in the “has never performed the job she was hired to do” sense
if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄
Bari Weiss is Jimmy Fallon in glasses
SNL's Lazy Sunday is now closer in time to the Challenger explosion than to the present day

This man has never encountered a tech corp whose priorities he didn’t think journalism should immediately internalize
Taylor Lorenz & @TaylorLorenz Same with Covid right now currently. This is exactly what disabled people are currently experiencing right now during the ongoing pandemic, stigmatization, people gleefully cheering their deaths on the right and the left. Yet it's totally normalized on the internet/in the media Gillian Branstetter @GBBranstetter • 2d I think most people understand the Republican response to AIDS in the 80s/90s as apathy or silence but they were genuinely quite gleeful about it
This is absolutely fucking deranged
Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop

Taylor Lorenz said WHAT about 9/11???
The gerontocracy has consequences, episode one million and three.
if the democratic party wasn’t a gerontocracy this would have failed. gerry connelly staying in office til he died allowed this to pass. this is echoes of RBG not retiring. when will democrats fucking learn
This is bleak reading
the democratic party got a single gen z representative with david hogg and he started actually representing the resentment young generations have to old and weak democratic leadership and canned him. pathetic. this party will genuinely never change and keep losing to republicans. bleak
the results Chotiner gets (like Mehdi Hasan) from simply a) doing his homework and b) asking follow-up questions rather than accepting deflections are remarkable - but also a testament to how much U.S. interviewers normally defer to power
