attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I once called CPD to report the license plate of a car that ran a stop sign and struck me in a crosswalk and the desk officer said if I didn't have to go to the hospital I was wasting his time 140

attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 01/10/2026at least half the people i've ever heard talking about moutai are actually talking about erguotou because they're remembering the time they had baijiu on a student trip to china and are fuzzy on the details 010
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I always found it funny that Le Samourai is often thought of as the ur-text of the 'hyper-professional assassin' genre when in fact the whole plot revolves around alain delon's assassin fucking up catastrophically 000
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 28/09/2026well one reason may be that in this particular case he (or his lawyers) apparently did explicitly ask for her to be put in jail 011
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 19/09/2026donated a few bucks to one political campaign and now get a new text or email every fifteen seconds, i had forgotten that contributing any amount of money to anyone has basically the same effect as feeding a seagull on the beach 010
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 18/09/2026i regret to say a take you're soon going to be hearing more of is that the AI safety people, however wacky, are at least pure of heart, as opposed to the actual trust and safety people, who are of course nefarious agents of the liberal censorship complex 1141
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 10/09/2026i think you should treat this article's presentation of the system it purports to describe with the same skepticism as those breathless articles on the chinese social credit system from a few years ago 030
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 09/09/2026god it would be great if there was a progressive media organization whose reporters had any subject matter expertise or indeed even superficial knowledge about the things they write about 000
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 09/09/2026at last, we've animated a swarm of obsessively goal-oriented autonomous assistants despite not fully understanding how they work, as depicted in the classic Disney musical short film 'Don't animate a swarm of obsessively goal-oriented autonomous assistants unless you fully understand how they work' 031
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 09/09/2026does the military typically buy equipment that 'refuses directives'. i understand that in the context of the secdef being an alcoholic neo-nazi you want directives being maximally refused but this seems to be kind of an odd embrace of technological solutionism 000
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 09/09/2026zuck's a garden variety psycho, his particular combination of totally amoral competitive ruthlessness and unshakeable self-satisfaction is standard template corporate executive. altman has way more of a 'mask of sanity' thing going on 030
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 08/09/2026no, you see, i need to cut it up with the guys on the neo-confederate sports hour, the highest value is journalism is people paying attention to me personally 053
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 08/09/2026who would have guessed a twitter-addicted Journalism Personality who works for semafor is a narcissistic weasel 1144
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 05/09/2026sure, but there's no need to pretend to respect them on social media dot com 000
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 31/08/2026This seems to be happening everywhere in the city - Spaces doubled my rent for a closet office in a heinous old facility 010
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Wait, A Rock and a Hard Place is fiction? Did that guy not cut off his arm? 200
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 22/08/2026always a treat to read a bunch of fairly reasonable points made in a maximally abrasive and off-putting way 100
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 21/08/2026propaganda of the deed but for incoherent slopulism 010
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 20/08/2026It is extremely funny that Trump has an encounter with what is, for him, the sublime, and his instinctive reaction is to make a little taunting jab at an aide. He is truly the apotheosis of the small business tyrant. 030
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 18/08/2026i'm sort of suprised we haven't yet seen a European auteur do an existentialist bummer variation of the groundhog day movie concept where you continue to age normally within the loop 010
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 17/08/2026it feels very "off", just on an intuitive aesthetic level, to have a machine summarizing for a human information that was generated and transmitted to it by another machine via ordinary human language rather than a series of coded blips, clicks, and beeps 110
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 16/08/2026it's very funny to have your whole thing be about how political persuasion is actually impossible and pointless and then get huffy and indignant when people don't find you persuasive 020
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 14/08/2026rogan is a completely brain-cooked reactionary moron but gillis is highly attuned to the directional attitude of the median uninformed, doesn't-think-of-themselves-as-political suburban white guy 010
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 12/08/2026it seems a little silly to ding a museum specifically dedicated to the period 2008 - 2016 for not representing 'the here and now' 0355
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 12/08/2026kind of looks like it could be the cover of a dan brown novel 000
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 12/08/2026resist this impulse. good and memorable essays fire the inquisitive urges of the reader. tying every loose end together is for journalism and textbooks. 020
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 12/08/2026We have traveled some ways from 'this caused mass death' to 'the messaging was bad', but to return to my original point, patio11 specifically does not believe that the 'goals' were right - he is straightforwardly opposed to any attempt to influence outcomes to be more racially egalitarian. 110
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Well, it's certainly good for beneficial owners of privately held companies who wish to engage in financial crime, which is a core constituency of the Republican Party. 010
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 12/08/2026He has the same m.o. when talking about anything progressive or 'woke'-coded, whether that's inclusive hiring initiatives or his wholesale swallowing of every nonsense right-wing talking point around the 'Twitter Files'/'Murthy v. Missouri' conspiracies. 110
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Yes, he references public statements and documents which do not actually support his assertions of harm, as we've just seen. If you look back through his tweet history, you'll see whenever he's pushed on this he then vaguely references some private conversation he's sadly not at liberty to disclose. 110
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 12/08/2026patio11 is a right-wing Republican partisan who makes vague claims to insider knowledge whenever he's called on his bullshit, there is zero reason to take him seriously on anything outside his extremely narrow technical specialties 110
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 11/08/2026George is looking a little bit like Rick Moranis in some of the profile shots 010
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 11/08/2026That's interesting. I would have assumed the source of most serious problems would be highly specialized faculty trying to dual-hat as managers, not the ostensibly professional administrators hired to operate the place. 200
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 11/08/2026I'd be interested to know what you've found to be the biggest management pathologies in academia. Basic planning and prioritization stuff that could be in theory be corrected with a project management seminar, or something deeper? 131
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 11/08/2026just say 'fuck you' and move on with your day 000
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 11/08/2026a consistently funny bit people do is post their thoughts online, or, even better, make a career out of posting their thoughts online, and then spend days getting yosemite sam fuming mad when someone else misreads them or reacts negatively or just thinks they're an asshole for some reason 200
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Well, let's not forget all the executives who had to put up with some mildly adversarial questions from their employees, an experience directly comparable to the daxing massacre 030
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 10/08/2026props to the people regularly asking these questions for reminding him that even people who depend on him for their livelihood can't be bothered to pretend to respect him 010
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 10/08/2026as the hasan piker discourse grinds ceaselessly on, please keep in mind that he is not the 'joe rogan of the left' insomuch as rogan has like 10x his audience. piker is, if anything, the tim pool of the left. 000
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 08/08/2026No, usually a red light camera is on a timer and it only turns on when the light is red. 000
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Can you explain how a database that collects only the plates of cars actively driving through a red light can 'track and surveil anyone'? Often these arguments seem to boil down to plainly silly nonsense like 'it is impossible to impose any kind of technical or legal restriction on the state' 100
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Help me understand here b/c I'd love to believe there's more to this than juvenile entitlement. Take a camera rigged up to a timer or a speed gun that only records at the exact moment a car blows through a red light or goes 20mph over the limit. What is the civil liberties objection here? 100
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 07/08/2026do you mind being recorded at the exact moment you do 80mph through a stop sign or is that an unacceptable intrusion on your civil liberties 101
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 06/08/2026If you kill someone while DUI but no one gets your plate number, did you even really commit a crime? 010
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 06/08/2026“Does this person understand the distinction between normative and descriptive language” remains an unparalleled signal for determining whether someone is a crank 100
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 03/08/2026unfortunately they will occasionally call your bluff in order to explain to you why you should actually have a different issue that’s much less work for them to solve 030
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 29/07/2026unfortunately this not so much a 'kind of guy' as a latent condition that activates in some percentage of guys as soon as they turn 40 000
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 28/07/2026say what you will about how tedious the regional devotion to Wawa can get, at least they have an ESOP 020
attuned-to-zero.bsky.social @attuned-to-zero.bsky.social · 28/07/2026leaving aside how stupid this take is, it's so funny to post shit like 'vandalizing a subway car is nbd to a chill and cool guy like me' on bluesky or twitter of all places. fatal incongruence b/t the medium and the message 0271
