I am deeply committed to seeing the dignity of all people but if this thought has ever occurred to you then you don’t deserve rights

There is a direct link between the impulse to have AI create bespoke media and only consuming things made with your existing POV in mind. It’s solipsistic and alienating, go encounter humanity ! bsky.app/profile/gaiu...

Remembering when this was touted as a positive use of AI
Movie watching experience:
2005: go to a movie theater
2015: stream Netflix
2025: ask LLM + text-to-video to create a new season of Narcos to watch tonight, but have it take place in Syria with Brad Pitt, Mr Beast and Travis Kelce in the leading roles

No matter how high brow it intends to be, all conservative media eventually just becomes Facebook clickbait

When I’m reading literature to better understand the human condition, I want to make sure that every author I read has the exact same experiences, hopes and dreams as I do

Very grim that X doesn’t exist without the South Asian tech workers held hostage by their visas who are coerced into working for a company intent on vilifying them

Ossoff is acting like Trump/MAGA/GOP and what they’ve done to the country is Actually Bad. Charismatic and well spoken, which sure helps. But no “my friends across the aisle,” no acting like the imaginary “Baileys” are the only ones who matter, no “don’t talk values, only kitchen table.” That’s it.

No officer, I understand but you should know I didn’t mean actual sex criminals who prey on children. When I say pedophile I mean consenting adults in same sex relationships

Sad thing is I don’t even know if this is at the administration’s behest or if Google sees the huge GOP losses coming and is showing me straight white male in Texas shit so that I’ll vote accordingly

I’m not talking like Ben Shapiro “respectable” conservative shit. It’s all deep red pill/manosphere dreck. One of the videos was literally called “is there a responsible way to be racist?”

IDK if Google is feels the need to show greater obeisance to Trump or what but my YouTube recommendations have been loaded with far right slop for the past few days. I never watch conservative stuff and have blocked all the big channels so it disappeared for years but is back on full force now

All the more reason to punish City. Premier league is the UK’s most valuable cultural asset and if it just becomes openly acknowledged that cheating is permissible the brand value will plummet

When Elon had a brief rift with Trump over the administration not pursuing austerity hard enough Yglesias and a lot of the punditocracy fell over themselves to invite him into the fold. For lots of centrists their only gripe is that he isn’t funding them

Damn McAfee is friends with Aaron Rodgers and gets to host him for an hour each week so the most washed QB of all time can demonstrate why he’s alienated every single person in his personal life? Sure let’s give him $60 million and lay off every real reporter in the building

The real “liberal bubble” is not whether or not you’ve heard “Choosin Texas” it’s if you can enjoy watching sports without a red-faced hog shouting at you

I’m fully aware that in our fragmented media ecosystem there are people with huge audiences that I’ve never heard of but I still think it’s wild that I’ve never met a single person who will admit to being a fan of the guy who has all ESPN programming in a chokehold

The only problem with Megalopolis was that it left theaters too soon for audiences to prepare themselves for its cinematic tour de force. I have been meditating in a sensory deprivation tank for a year to ready myself to experience Coppola’s true vision

Do I want Trump to have any more money? No of course not but I think the US would give billions to Ukraine if Macron just bought $10 million in Trumpcoin or whatever. Drop in the bucket for EU finances and honestly Trump has so much money he wouldn’t even notice

Trump is greed incarnate. He would reverse his position on any issue if given enough money. We would have sanctions on Israel tomorrow if MBS decided to advocate for Palestinians
