my favorite tiktok genre is people having complete emotional breakdowns watching the end of la la land

This is true in science also. Good ideas are ten-a-penny - but what is impressive is actually getting it done. It’s the doing that makes the work worthwhile, not the initial spark (99 times out of hundred).

David Ellison’s High Wire Act The ambitious Oracle heir, who once counted Steve Jobs as a mentor, hopes to turn Paramount Skydance into a tech-era media monolith. But does he have the team — or the vision — to scale that mountain?

"Ellison is the first figure with any tech ties, even familial, to take over a legacy media company." www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

A Conversation with Jack Conte YouTube video by SXSW

whenever jack conte speaks, i'm convinced that surviving as an artist should be a prerequisite for running a tech company. "If we're going to task people with figuring out how to build data centers in space, then we ought to task people with figuring out how to pay creators for their work."

Wait a minute the people running the country are morons

the pitt should introduce a character exhibiting symptoms of delirium who won't stop yelling that everyone in the hospital is in a tv show

Age 12: I want to change the world
Age 18: I want to make great art
Age 25: I want to live a personally satisfying life
Age 30: I want to have a clean apartment

Crazy that the NHL got a huge boost in female fandom and lost it again in the span of what... 2 months? Incredible fumble, or whatever the hockey version of a fumble is

heads up to the american news media: I do not care what racists thought of the super bowl halftime show

Next time somebody tries to get me to justify the existence of the humanities, I’ll just point out how for the past two Super Bowls we’ve all jumped online and engaged in collective semiotics and hermeneutics of the half-time show as text.

Let’s be honest: in many of these winter Olympic “sports”, the snow is doing most of the work. An unexpected thaw would expose these so-called athletes for the frauds they are

it is insane that we have a trillion-dollar tech/vc ecosystem but we "can't figure out" how to fund the journalism that democracy literally needs to survive.

ugh why is everybody calling my masked armed death squads who kidnap kindergartners the gestapo

man the stuff i am seeing on IG from
the most normie, i don’t really talk about politics accounts suggests something different

Just staggered by the complete moral void of not even *pretending* to wait for more information before pivoting to “the opponent of the state deserved it.” It is so insanely depraved. Soulless.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Asking the front desk person at the pasta factory if I can spend a night in the spaghetti room sleeping on the warm spaghetti they’re NOT selling and they don’t know what “I’M” talking about?
