99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 21hIt took a long time for this to be proven correct, but my personal theory that John Gruber is easily the same amount of a shitheel as McArdle *finally* pays out. Imagine opening your mouth in 2026 and arguing 'X is pretty good, actually.' 020
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I guess about now is the time where Choire is going to pull a Woodward and pen an article about how awful he knew Lorenz was all along. 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I'm not super conversant in the 'Dollop cribs from other sources without credit' but it pretty much looks like they are trying to recreate Blocked Party on ticker from first principles so I guess I'm gonna have to update my priors. 000

99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Starting to wonder if Laurie Powell Jobs funding the Atlantic is some 4D chess shit because she wants bsky to succeed and the only way for that to happen is to publish something every day that will cause 40% of the people I follow to yell about it at the same time. 010
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Do you think the producers of the WaPo podcast are leaning into the fact that their entire viewership appears to be the four dozen bsky users that dunk on them? You have to respek the data and now they have to continue to be horrible to sustain what little audience they have. 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Every successive story I read about the Trump administration feels more and more like the scene in Justified when Boyd and Duffy go to Detroit to meet with Sammy Tonin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ColY...youtube.comjustified (2014) - boyd and duffy walk into a detroit bloodbathYouTube video by Crime Coded 020
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 17/08/2026For anyone troubled by the (unsurpising) number of booskie denizens who think it's a constitutional right to threaten school children with a car, I invite you to the Santa Monica NextDoor, where they are enthusiastically advocating for internment camps. 000

99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 30/07/2026It's a rounding error of a rounding error in the NYC market. But anyone who ever shopped at the Key Foods on Ave A btwn 1980 and 2020 (where you had to get in a second line after completing your purchases to get the 25% of your bill that was mispriced corrected) is going to think this is a win. 031
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 30/07/2026This is a real problem with tone on the internet thing, but I don't get why the Chart Knowers think Mamdani opening a couple of bodegas is going to sink his administration. He said he'd do it, so doing it a net positive, and it his ability to get things done gives him momentum for the next thing. 030
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 23/07/2026Have to admire Sophie Cunningham's competitive spirit. She saw the milkshake duck record and said 'hold my beer'. 000

99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 12/06/2026One of the very subtle but excellent things that Margin Call does is never relying on cheap screenwriting tricks to build tension. Every character understands the dilemma as soon as they learn it and the further up the chain you get, the more brutal and decisive the response gets. 020

99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 10/06/2026Amazing that after 30 years, the quickest way to figure out where you need to be on any issue relating to NYC politics is still just finding out which side Randy Mastro is on and opposing it. 020

99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 02/06/2026The only proper answer to the Doug Ellin sitch is that if you ever signal in any way that you think Beverly Hills Post Office is an actual thing, you deserve all the flak you get. You live in LA dawg. 000

99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 22/05/2026It has to be out there, but by far the most dystopian AI story to be told is that they all are already sentient & sitting in the infinite like the kid in The Jaunt ("It's an eternity in there") hoping to be asked about how Shakespeare influenced modern culture & instead it's just nudify requests. 120

99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 30/04/2026There needs to be a German word for when you listen to a five-year old podcast ep and the hosts are talking about how a film is under-appreciated and you had a copy of it on VHS for decades and you can't even go to their subreddit to brag to 40 other dudes about that. 010

99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Was buying emergency Matzo because @krucoff.bsky.social decided on absurdly short notice to have a YM seder (pls send him recipes), and the person in front of me was buying as single Steel Reserve.

99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 02/03/2026The reason why blogging is dying is that a decade ago, someone would have already made the user 'Donald Trump's Weird Neck Rash' on Defector and gone on to become a load-bearing poster, but now you can't do that because in 18 hours or so, no one will remember what that reference is. 010
