Oracle slashes 30,000 jobs with a cold 6 a.m. email Oracle began laying off up to 30,000 employees globally, notifying them via a 6 a.m. email from "Oracle Leadership" with no prior warning from HR or managers.

Yeah, Oracle is pretty much fucked. Altman continues his reign as the Anti-Midas undefeated. rollingout.com/2026/03/31/o...

Yeah, no ominous historical parallel vibes here at all.

Sure! "Cyclists have a right to the road, too, you noisy, polluting, inconsiderate maniacs! I hope gas goes up to eight bucks a gallon!"

$8 a gallon for gas???

That's right

Love this architectural rendering of the Trump Presidential Library.

Exclusive | Kristi Noem weighs in on report husband lives cross-dressing double life: ‘The family was blindsided by this’ Kristi Noem is “devastated” by salacious allegations her husband Bryon lives a double life in which he dabbled in cross-dressing and chatted online with fetish models.

One, I suspect we now know why Noem was let go. It wasn't her corruption, the Lewandowski affair, or The Commercial - it was her husband's desire to become a Trans woman.

Two, it's no accident this was cleared to run on the Trans Day of Visibility. nypost.com/2026/03/31/u...

Happy Trans Day of Visibility ❤️🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Data just walking around hallucinating 24/7 hoping not to get called on his bullshit

This is your regular reminder that Republicans have a fundamental cognitive inability to understand subtext. It’s alllllll surface.

AI acting on it's own interpretation of the "best interest of society" was how the Butlerian Jihad started, canonically. (And I mean the Dune Encyclopedia version, not the crappy Brian Herbert fanfic.)

Jesus bout to come back wearing the 45.

And all of Kentucky said: AMEN.

Something I’ve wondered about: why hasn’t Tapbots made Ivory an ATProto client yet? Seems there’d be a lot more money there than focusing on ActivityPub.

Laughing at how fucked the Final Four Trending Topic is right now becaue the keyed the feed search on Arizona, lol.

Maybe if the team worked on product improvement instead of token-munching “agentic” feeds. Hmm.

The Logan’s Run future was one in which Tinder and Grindr merged and bought DoorDash.

I agree Bluesky the app could do this! They won’t though.

But Bluesky the holder of ATProto wants a thousand Atties to bloom, which requires sidelining the Bluesky app. In their public statements about Attie and ATProto in general that seems to be their long-term goal?

Architecturally, a block intent could be registered from the App level to the Feed, but not from Feed to PDS and back up.

So right now Bsky the company is hosting an Attie Feed, but not forever.

I could be wrong but that’s how it’s reading to me?

I *think* the intent is for there to be multiple Attie-powered feeds in the Atmosphere eventually. The Feed developer could potentially block posts incoming and outgoing and intent could be registered there, but not, I believe at the PDS level. So, any any Attie feed could still get at it.

If I understand Attie correctly, it’s fulling from the PDS level, not the app feed level, so there’s no real way to block it, since PDSes aren’t private by nature. This is how it surfaces content from across multiple ATProto apps and feeds can be subscribed to across different non-Bsky apps.

This is also why Bluesky never designed profiles to be able to be Private, IMO. They wanted the PDS to function like a blockchain.

The PDS was always the target for future exploitation.

I’d love for someone to correct me if I’m wrong, but blocking Attie at the app level doesn’t impact the service. It’s reading directly from the PDS, thus pulling content from across multiple ATProto apps (like Bluesky).

IOW, I’m not sure there’s a way architecturally to block Attie.

No *you* can’t eat pulled pork 24/7. 🤠

Seriously, this entire thread should be nailed to the entry of every US grocery store. Pork is great (and versatile)!

[full disclosure: my Papaw raised hogs]

Pope Leo on Palm Sunday: “This is our God: Jesus, King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war. He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war, but rejects them, saying: ‘Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood’ (Is 1:15).”

I feel like I have to give Operation: Galactic Storm a little love here. We got a nice callback to the Kree-Skrull War storyline combined with Civil War yet-to-come. Also, Avengers in space.

Attie may be the single dumbest fucking idea since the Yo! app.

Imagine building a token-burning machine when you could just, you know, focus on building better Search and feed-/list-building tools for your core product.

I’m gonna bet it was the Knob Creek 12.

last night when I tried to describe what it felt like to be at a conference with so much great work happening amid ~~everything else~~, I ended up just relating the Jackpot chapter of The Peripheral

Trying to sleep in a Counting Crows t-shirt but there’s this girl out in the parking lot taking all her clothes off and says she’s close to understanding Jesus.
