Hello

Google is changing up search. What does that mean for news publishers? A shift to AI-generated search results will decrease the traffic that Google sends to publishers' sites, as more people get what they need straight from the Google search page instead.

Something very strange is happening to the Web. Finding something from the past on search engines is eroding. Atemporality replaced by an immediate, constantly vanishing, consumerist hyper-present. What we thought was an infinite Borges-ian library turning into Amazon checkout with a ticking clock…

Borges is wild. Could have stretched this out into a novel but just finds the one amazing moment and does that. One page. Job done.

Threads is the worst. Massively psychologically damaging to scroll thru feed of factory-installed celebs who suck & brands. Better to be hatecrimed on Twitter or vibe-policed by some weird teenager named BipsyWolf on here. I wish it ill.

Apple meeting:”We think there are billions of people who want to pretend to be a giant and have $3000 to spare”
Cook:”Get on it”

Improv classes, typically self selecting for openness and joviality. You also see the same people each week for duration of term. Can be cringe but what isn’t

Or an Arkham Asylum version that’s only people who were banned can post and respond, and is read only to everyone else

Imagine having such a great rack they’re talking about it 300 years later (Borges-Universal History of Infamy-1935)

(And to be pedantic the Caribbean was settled by the British just before America with Caribbean English being spoken even earlier due to Elizabethan Sea Dogs contact with then Spanish colonies. Black English speakers have been the ‘anglosphere’ longer than America has existed )

Pumpkin was definitely a housecat as appeared at the tail end of winter, distressed and now hasn’t left. Basement apt. We setup cam in window to see garden when at work/night. More drama than GoT. There are 3 additional cats in the hood. There are factions and then The Raccoons after 10pm.

We’re it not for Bluesky I wouldn’t know he’s wonderfully weird

Man, Apple must have a huge launch coming up if something as significant as Final Cut and Logic coming to the iPad (as Apple's first-ever subscription Pro apps, no less!) doesn't even make the cut for the big show.

Autoblock block profiles based on keywords in bio, you don’t even see the attempted follow

Not good for plants

I loved that they could also be hyper local in a good way, there was a N Ireland music scene bb called fastfude and everyone knew everyone, 20 years on some people are still known by their username around town. I fear the kids today are missing pseudoanon non corpo local internets stuff

RETVRN

We need a 6 month pause

Spadina & King

That’s a pretty cool rock
