Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with 
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via study that still underestimates climate cost. This isn’t about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice. #citymakingmath

AI is not being accused of making education “too easy” for students—it’s being accused of failing to educate students. Coming up with an answer is not education.

This is so great. Paulina Borsook deserves her flowers. One of the best things about the past year has been (accidentally) helping to get her book re-published. Paulina is one of the only tech critics who got it right. Buy her book! Put her on your show! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

In 2000, Paulina Borsook published a book foretelling the anti-government sentiments of the tech world. Now that it’s too late, people are ready to listen.

The essence of electoral democracy is equality. Whenever equality is compromised (e.g. big money, gerrymandering, unequal district population distribution), democracy is compromised, distrust grows, and political rights are undermined. The risk is real.

Genuine Question: At one point did business leaders conclude that they no longer need anyone to: 1. Make their products 2. Buy their products And still expect to generate infinite growth and revenue? At what point did they decide this fundamental part of how a market works no longer applies?

Most (if not all) anti AI people aren't anti technology. We just believe technology should serve people and not the other way around. AI takes and offers nothing useful in return.

You want to see Norway men’s national football team’s official photo for World Cup 2026 www.nytimes.com/athletic/733...
members of the Norway men’s national football team on a rocky shore, styled as a fierce group of ancient Vikings. They are dressed in elaborate historical costumes, including fur-trimmed capes, leather tunics, chainmail, and armor pieces, while holding traditional gear like circular wooden shields, spears, axes, swords, and blowing horns. In the background, longships rest on a calm body of water that cuts through a vast, dramatic fjord. The rugged landscape is framed by massive, steep green mountains, with a thin waterfall cascading down a cliff face on the left, all under a cloudy, overcast sky.

Physical books. You own them. They don't require updates. They don't surveil you or collect and sell your data. They are a genuinely safe hallucinogen that leaves you smarter and more empathetic and with a longer attention span the more you use them. Free from the library. What's not to like?
