It’s really just that when the right is talking about tech they are talking about the employees and the left is talking about the bosses. Everything becomes legible under that construction. bsky.app/profile/radl...

This piece captures the heartbreak and horror that I feel for my suffering Jewish friends & colleagues. Fuck Hamas, fuck antisemitism, fuck right-wing fascist governments, and fuck indiscriminate violence. G-d bless Bess Kalb for this powerful piece. besskalb.substack.com/p/explaining...

there are like 5 crises that are all accelerating at once in America now, but a fun game to play is to pick one and say the other four are just the media's way of distracting us from the one you picked

if you’re a politics nerd and wanna watch these things for sport, go ahead, but if you’re sitting there while Nikki Haley or whoever speaks thinking “hm, fascinating” you’re a straight up fucking moron for real

you approach the altar. the priest holds the eucharist out to you with both hands. as you take it he whispers "start with 1/4 of it. if you dont feel the body of christ within 2 hours eat the rest"

Something I have never believed is that you should read conservatives to get their perspective. It’s actually very easily gotten; a little goes a long way. Conservatism is an intellectual defense of selfishness where the conservative is always in a superior in group. That’s it to me.

It's true. The Blue Check was The Perfect Deal. One might say it was "Too good," which is possibly why everyone migrated here anyway after handing $8 to the most prolific con man on the planet. All the stupidest people in the world were correct this whole time, and I am sorry.

I don’t like cops just like everyone, but I think he must mean that unions can also unjustly protect members from proper accountability and shield them from consequences of bad behavior.

it’s so funny to me that twitter could have been, like, the nazi bar and also functional. instead it’s the nazi bar and also a worthless piece of shit. like on one hand they made a nazi bar but on the other hand they set fire to the nazi bar. who’s the real antifa now

I think anyone even remotely to the right would consider me a radical leftist, but I’m pretty sure that a radical leftist would find me to be a soft & compromised member of the PMC.

I said this a year ago elsewhere, but I’ll say it again here: It's impossible to overstate how much the big tech CEOs & VCs are being radicalized within their bubble. The level of paranoia & contrived victimization is off the charts, and they increasingly only consume media that they have funded.

Of course it is! Emulators are almost always slow! I don’t have anything nice to say about the Iranian military, but I don’t think they’re lying here. There are lots of quantum algos being developed without sufficiently powerful Q computers to go with them.

I regret the harm that my “Rocks You Can Definitely Eat” algorithm has caused, both for those who incorrectly saw it as a suggestion that you can eat rocks, and for the few times the AI incorrectly showed real food

AirPods were truly some of the first AR experiences and I’m still so stunned by their abilities. For a Han Solo diner, the transparency plus fidelity is genuinely stunning in a restaurant or at a sushi bar. Same great joint, now with Dave Pike! #vibraphone

It should be SkyLaw that every time you invite someone you have to tell them how to turn on Dark Mode. (It’s on the left menu, at the bottom, click the moon.)
