Hectic. Yeah that “for now” is definitely ominous...

Very fair point, I can’t argue with that.

Ok who are you subtweeting here

Social media apps as Lord of the Rings characters, a thread:

Twitter: Twitter is Gollum. Began as a normal halfling. Overexposure to evil left it thin and stretched and bitter.

Honestly, it's time for the concept of franchises to die. At this point all they are is a means for corporations to colonise the part of our brains reserved for leisure. They will churn out endless fanfiction with complete and shameless entitlement to our paychecks.

I don’t normally get too excited about representation, but seeing Rahul Kohli in The Haunting of Bly Manor was the first time I realised a brown man could have conventional Hollywood good looks…while rocking a moustache even! I’m not even a fan of the genre, but very tempted to buy Saros regardless.

Fascinating. I know this is besides your point, but hearing about the made-up stories is especially pertinent to me now, as I've just finished reading the authorized biography of Buffy Sainte-Marie, and then learned about the accusations. We've lost so much naivety over the last couple of decades.

Having spent much of my childhood being “corrected“ on how to pronounce my name based on its spelling in the English alphabet, I can attest that this is far more common, and cuts across many more dimensions of identity, than people realise.

I come to BlueSky expecting to see BlueSky posts, not dad-sharing-memes-from-Facebook-in-the-family-WhatsApp-group posts!

Well I’m glad that the mask is smiling at least. :D

Two minutes into this, I was hooked. Fifteen minutes in, I was fighting back tears. At twenty minutes, I lost that fight. Holy fuck, what a tour de force.

How intriguing. Can't wait to check it out this weekend.

Uh, what…

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

I don’t know British institutions, is that the Royal Society for the Protection of Boys-in-bird-costumes? 😜
