I actually wrote a song that touched on that once. It's like 35,000 mph.

He seemed like a pretty good Bond, but that nuts-beating-in-chair was not OK. Undermines the whole Bond vibe. 0/10.

Not if the highest bidder wants the data. Also see the entire business model of FB, Twitter, IG, etc

If y'all Spotify users could go play this song, I'd appreciate it. A recording I can't stand is the forever "most popular" song in The Algorithm and it makes me nuts. open.spotify.com/track/5DQL0w...

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

For what it's worth - and it ain't much - I don't think they were direct selling the girls. I think they were selling the data they collected. Probably still are.

I thought I'd seen enough stupidity for the day then I saw a dude at the hardware store with a "big beautiful bill" sticker in his car.

1. We interrupt this programming for some LEGITIMATELY GOOD NEWS Violent crime in Baltimore has PLUMMETED to historic lows How did the city do it? Baltimore adopted a comprehensive set of "woke" policies, treating violence as a public health issue

This April, Baltimore saw five homicides.

Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

Jeff Bezos pays less in taxes than you do. Then spends $105M in a weekend while you fight for food stamps and insulin. This is class war. And they’re winning.

I have listened to the masters of the new record. I am excited. Probably called Bring That Back. Possibly will have art.

I mean if HAMAS did that, and then Nyahu refused to stop, it would seem simple

Guaranteeing every American healthcare with Medicare for All would save 5x more money than the Republicans’ budget cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. It’s not about saving money, or cutting fraud and waste. It’s about harming and controlling working class people.

You are an intelligent person who can form arguments. I challenge you to explain why you reject HAMAS's agency in this conflict.

HAMAS could have released the hostages at any point to date and changed the course of events.
