7) Jane’s team used AI to summarise the notes she shared

No one wrote the report, no one ever read the report, no one understood the questions or the answers.

No business value was achieved

I guess the em dash is the new Oxford comma—and I use both.

Matt 🏳️‍🌈 @whatnextandwhy.bsky.social · 07/07/2025

On iOS, it’s even easier because it’s just a long press of the regular dash key. Plus you get en dashes, which also have their own specific uses :)

Here it is folks, how you, too, can use the em dash in your writing! This is the macOS version, but there’s a Windows & Linux version too. I’ve been happily using em- & en-dashes in my writing for decades b/c THAT’S PROPER FUCKING GRAMMAR. See also: apostrophes & quotes. These ain’t it: " ' 🤮

Really tired of people asking why the New York Times supports rightwing narratives, as though it were a one-off. The Times is a rag. Regardless of any previous reputation. Either its owners are rightwing, or they fear rightwingers, or they want a piece of the lucrative rightwing media market.

Matt 🏳️‍🌈 @whatnextandwhy.bsky.social · 05/07/2025

Because the NYT is a rightwing rag. Either it’s been captured in plain sight, or whoever owns/controls the times chooses to promote this nonsense.

You need a drastic course correction, not just for this absurd episode you’re cleaning up. Today, the Times is an untrustworthy rightwing rag. You’ve platformed so much nonsense in the name of looking balanced that you’ve gone full rightwing. Truth? Trust? Not in your pages.

With the awful news from the last couple hours, this post from the political optimism subreddit helped to break through a bit of the despair fog. Repubs know this is political suicide, ICE's support is crumbling despite the budget increase, and there's a myriad of ways to fight back. Keep strong.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

If Republicans took the opportunity to destroy so much via budget cuts, valuable infrastructure that Americans need, then America should destroy what the GOP values: billionaire wealth portfolios. Wealth taxes whether direct or indirect. Add progressive income tax brackets on the highest incomes.

Matt 🏳️‍🌈 @whatnextandwhy.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

A socialist should be in every Democratic primary next year, because we need people who will actually tax the rich in Congress. I’m choosing to view this new law as the mirror image of what comes when the GOP is out of power: massive taxes on the wealthy.

Landlords wouldn’t be upset at this if they came out ahead with the change. Nor would their defenders, with scaremongering of “oh they’ll just raise rent to cover it”

Matt 🏳️‍🌈 @whatnextandwhy.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

Landlords will use *any* excuse to raise rents. So consider me skeptical that the market won’t discourage them like with other arbitrary rent hikes. Landlords who don’t will outcompete ones who do. Pesky market and all that. At least now renting will be a bit more honest and a bit more fair.

Matt 🏳️‍🌈 @whatnextandwhy.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Speaking from experience dealing with the Greater Boston rental market for 15 years: this is long overdue. Last month’s rent should also be considered for a ban too, but getting rid of the broker fee is SUCH a big move in the right direction. Because you’re right, that upfront cost is ridiculous.

The KKK of the 1920s is probably the most American organization to have ever existed; a for-profit fraternal organization, a multi-level marketing scheme founded by a defrocked minister to piggyback off of a popular movie, eventually torn apart by internecine infighting and a national sex scandal.
