I really enjoyed learning about Susan Kare in the most recent episode of (There are No Girls on the Internet) @tangoti.bsky.social
Never knew who was behind these Mac icons, really cool to to learn who was behind these. These icons really take me back. 😍❤️
what in the dystopian hellscape am I reading about now???
Thank you for flagging it! Definitely interesting. Also enraging. Good on them for unionizing, those sound like absurd employment conditions
Thanks so much!
You'll definitely need high constitution
One of my favorite podcasts about tech @tangoti.bsky.social has a banger about the AI sexual abuse material on Twitter.

AI-generated content deceives people, even when clearly labeled.
@bridgettodd.bsky.social, host of @tangoti.bsky.social, explains that labeling content as AI isn’t working, and why projects like @divine.video are promising no AI content.
Full episode out now.
Great episode of @tangoti.bsky.social recently about the emerging info that women are less likely to use gen AI and some reasons why. Highly recommend!
Congrats @bridgettodd.bsky.social for getting this timely op-ed published in Essence Magazine: www.essence.com/news/money-c...
So glad to hear it! We're excited about the episode coming out tomorrow, looking into the report about bots influencing the Taylor Swift conversation.
Thanks for helping spread the show! ❤️
There Are No Girls On The Internet did a great episode featuring a Black woman game creator who was to be featured in Target (prior to their reinvention). They basically made this lady jump through tons of hoops and then never even featured her product on the shelf. @tangoti.bsky.social

Funny that you'd preciously clocked that similarity between JCO and Elon, before seeing them feuding now. Thanks for sharing the excerpt
Enjoyed this episode (@bridgettodd.bsky.social) on the Joyce Carol Oates-Elon Musk beef.
I lol'd at comparing JCO & Azealia Banks: two good artists with mostly terrible takes but "when they stumble upon a truth, they really hit that truth and they do not miss."

Ring Cam IS the police. Wendy Osefo, from Real Housewives of Potomac, just got charged with fraud. Evidence included footage from her own Ring Cam. Ring readily gives access to police without a warrant and without your consent. Do you really want that in your house?

I think the titles are good!
DC is Bridget's home. It's not just the nation's capital; it's a vibrant city with a rich history. This episode is part rant, part guide to how allies can support DC.
