"you hear but you don't understand, you see but you don't perceive" I didn't know America was in the bible!

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I. Here am I; send me.

And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.

Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,

And the LORD have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.

I bet someone could make a splashy digital journalism / game thing with stuff like "click on all the farmers", and the pictures are all stuff like this one of the Conagra CEO talking to former Fed chair Janet Yellen. Might help explain the GOP alignment.

I'm old enough to remember when we called something a shitty knockoff using American brands, like Great Value and Kirkland Signature. Now all our useless junk manufacturing jobs have been shipped overseas. 😢

I don't understand. It looks like they agree to not pursue weapons and to give up their enriched uranium stockpile in point 8, though the details of how are undefined. (And this whole thing seems more like an agreement to make a deal than deal in itself, so who knows what will actually happen? 🙃)

The thing is, there are commercial algae farms, and what they use is not all that different from the reflecting pool. greenstreamalgae.com/about/

A field of long pools where algae is grown commercially.

Embarrassed for them that they went with trucks and didn't think of this.

Not really the point here, but this is the funniest journalist disclosure I've ever seen. 😂 If you don't follow her, I just don't understand your priorities in life.

@sarahjeong.bsky.social's work is great, and as a millennial I was absolutely murdered by this one. www.theverge.com/policy/84960...

It's useless to call for civil debate as "politics in the right way"; politics has moved beyond words. Where there are words at all, they are but a way to express a meme, a vibe, an aesthetic. They are a method to channel brainrot, like any other medium of communication. To expect words to mean words, for them to attach to objects in time and space and to line up with any internal logic - this is the sort of cringe that will fade into the periphery along with the millennial pause, that half-second of silence where the older generation gathers their thoughts.

Trump putting his name on all those buildings is gonna end up like this.

A world war two era photo of a building with a Nazi eagle on the exterior, and a modern photo of the same building with the eagle removed, but a discolored silhouette remains where the eagle used to be.

A caption reads: "Americans: we have a game here where we try and find buildings that were obviously built as Pizza Huts but aren't anymore, you can still tell from the shape and roof of the building. Do you have anything like that?

Germans: uh"

www.404media.co/why-do-chris... This is wild. He's saying if "the media is the message" then if they put their message in the media then their message becomes *the* message. It's like trying to pull an uno reverse on ... I don't know, media theory? The human mind? h/t @michaelburns.bsky.social

Screenshot of text: "It's like the famous Marshall McLuhan quote, 'the medium is the message,' right? If they're getting out there in the message of the time, that means the message is still fresh. Christians are still relevant in the AI age, and they're doing it and like that in itself is all that matters," Laughlin said. "Even if it's clearly someting that anybody could rightfully sneer at if you had any sense of what makes good or bad media aesthetics."

www.vox.com/culture/4132... I don't care about Bill Belichick, but the take on the similarities between gold diggers and tradwives was interesting. Though I guess it shouldn't be surprising, since tradwives we hear about are influencers, which is just another way to chase that gold.

Screenshot of text: "TikTok is full of tradwives explaining how their lives became better once they got out of the 9-to-5 grind to make cereal from scratch for their children and let their husbands do the breadwinning. (That the most successful of tradwife influencers are actually the primary breadwinners in their homes is an irony the influencers themselves seldom discuss.)"

screenshot of text "The gold digger is the tradwife as seen through a funhouse mirror: a woman living off her ability to attract a man, only here done crassly."

Huh, on submission it said "Access Denied FE". Maybe that's an error, which sounds good to me. They're the ones missing out on the synopsis of Shrek 2.

Is it just me or is it impossible to tell how much a @wired.com subscription costs?

Wired magazine digital subscription costing $12/year, renewing for $30/year.

Wired magazine digital subscription costing $10/year, renewing for $30/year. Also, Wired print + digital subscription for $12/year, renewing for $30/year.

Wired subscription fine print saying that the regular annual rate is $79.99/year.
