I say this as somebody who fully acknowledges that many of the last "real" journalists do work there, and it is the only institution left really able to empower them often with that money from hateful harry potter moms. I try to read the important stuff when people I trust say "this one matters."
Checking in as somebody who stopped reading the NYT religiously sometime in Tr*mp1 as I struggled with my gender identity because one of the last ostensibly "good guy" pillars of journalism couldn't stop platforming people who hate me because "liberal harry potter moms buy papers too"
I would give anything to go back in time and convince myself to do any other job but go into tech. This is such a stupid job and I'm getting worse at it every single day
I feel the exact same way. Looking at that guys post history and trying to MAXIMIZE my empathy and benefit of the doubt that it might be an old guy confused by the internet...it's just impossible to tell. Dead internet theory is so real either way
I don't understand why papers print "here's a related similar image" and don't explain that. This is what the plane actually looks like. Not classified, just not supposed to be photographed without authorization, but I also assume the FBI is lying about something...pretty safe bet in 2026.
I'm getting into really weak coffee.
You couldn't hold that against them, couldya? 🥺🐀
A picture of the Adaptus Mechanicus from warhammer 40k, a cyborg machine priest holding a long scroll with a robot arm coming out of his back.
Image of me praying to the Machine God, thanking his allmighty silicon essence for another weekend on call without a major production explosion.
The typical soldier protecting child from flying knives meme that reads: "Technologists manic books explaining why they're building the torment nexus" "Dave Karpf" and "Me having read dave's newsletter to keep an eye on them without taking maximum psychic damage like him"
As always thank you for your service 🫡
(I don't actually sleep well, but I still appreciate it)
My country is dying in a fit of petulant rage but I am still trying to enjoy the days when the sky looks like this.
Even funnier is that one went through, and I couldn't get this one to post or save to drafts so I screenshot it
An under-discussed parts of the vibe coding world we live in now is how empowered execs and sales teams are to make convincing mock ups and commit devs to selling vaporware that hasn't been built yet - the classic nightmare. A recalibration of "looks promising" is needed for both builders and buyers
I just find it silly that people are acting shocked to find out that the internet is filled with bots when it's been that way for well over a decade now? Like how do you think we got into this entire fucking global catastrophe in the first place? lmfao
This GEESE discourse is so moronic
No Chapelle, but it is how you were being used. You absolutely rotted rich-brained asshole who should know better.. You became everything you hated. I'll never understand how the guy on inside the actors studio who openly spoke about how he saw this coming, still fell for it

Everything is fucking dumb all the time now
Vulfpeck sounds like the house band for 90's Sesame Street
A digital illustration of Godzilla silhouetted against a red and orange fire-colored background with his back spines all glowing blue as he blasts nuclear fire at whomever you would most like to have nuclear fire blasted at. Go ahead and make a wish. Jagged lettering on Godzilla’s back and shoulder, also glowing blue, reads ‘Maybe it will happen today’
You're not wrong! It's just such a huge fandom at this point it's overwhelming, but the only way to begin is by beginning!
I love wired so this is not a criticism of their writing, but it's wild to me that we're STILL being like "Oh gosh there are bots on the internet?!" when the shift into dead internet theory seemed obvious to me and my peer group in 2014
I think one of my biggest personality flaws is that I had friends try to get me to watch Drag Race right away from season 1 and because of my latent unexamined gender confusion at the time I shied away from it and never revisited it an now it's way too late.
It's 2am and I can't sleep because I'm worried about the future.
I hope he dies soon.
@davidepstein.bsky.social breaking my heart dismissing "information wants to be free" as *just* silicon valley bullshit, but winning me back with the phrase "This is a moment where we need some public corruption heads on spikes"
The painful part is even the people I know who are deeply evangelical about using LLMs could see it coming, acknowledged the grift and looming enshittification and said things like "haha we all know they're getting us hooked before they jack up the price...use it as much as you can now!"
The worst is that with all the legitimate criticism to level at bluesky's moderation policies, people getting mad at these accounts being mass banned is just a real OOOFF moment 🤦
The discourse around "zomg Invincible's animation style has gotten so bad" is some of the most incredibly fake astro-turfed controversy I've ever seen. Youtubers rage baiting smooth brained genZ anime kids into white hot rage over a handful of shadows and shading
I love the maker community on youtube, but they make me feel so insanely lazy. People are out here building home made rockets, binding their own books, making custom drones, connecting 400 batteries together in series and wielding the power of lightening...
Hear me out. This shouldn't matter. I'm serious. Trump and his cronies (including the SCOTUS) have consistently pissed all over the rule of law. He pardoned the J6ers and like half have diddled kids again since release. It would be madness to even pretend those pardons matter. Society demands it
The constitution has already failed and we as a nation and a society have to find a morality and a justice beyond it if we want to move forward. I'm tired of clinging to the tattered remains of a normalcy that wasn't that great to begin with
