Kendrick looking straight into the camera with a shit eating grin when he says "Hey Drake," in Not Like Us and then hearing the whole 75,000 fans at the Super Bowl yell "A Minor" in unison was truly beautiful

Gotta say, if @edzitron.com's book next year is going to be written in even remotely the same tone as Better Offline or his newsletter, it's going to be a great read.

A really important reminder from @iwriteok.bsky.social's new piece from today. We are certainly in danger, but these people are not experts. They're throwing shit at the wall and hoping just as much as any of us. And that gives us a chance.

when u make a silly joke on this platform

5 panel comic

Panel 1: Pink guy saying: I just made a silly joke!

Panel 2: Pink guy turns to see a door swing open, revealing a Weird Greenish Guy in the doorway

Panels 3-5: Weird greenish guy begins to walk towards Pink Guy in a very creepy manner. He says: I’m Gonna take it SERIOUSLY

By panel 5 Weird Guy has Pink Guy in a death grip. He’s going to throttle him for having the audacity to tell a silly joke on social media

Some context for this. There are really two kinds of immigration enforcement operations: targeted and worksite. In targeted operations, ICE DDOs (immigration cops) get lists of targets, track down each person, and go arrest them. In worksite raids, they burst into a job site and grab people. 1/3

1. lack of any accountability in the media for the actual product - nobody really writes about how bad Facebook/Insta is and has been for years 2. lack of regulation 3. monopoly over social media allows them to do this, nowhere else to go

Ultimately, because with Ttump coming in, billionaires and business owners have even more pull and leverage than they already did, and they're genuinely scared of the possibility that their company might be next. She's an actual threat to the oligopoly, and they don't like it.
