The core conceit of the Twitter-remainers who insist it bad for the people who left Twitter that they left Twitter is that they'd rather be in a place filled with Nazis and white supremacists than a place filled with lefties and progressives—and believe it's wrong for others to feel the opposite.

The other side we never hear from hear consists entirely of 19th century race science and the ideological talking points of the political movement that controls all three branches of the federal government and its own extremely well funded media apparatus.

Kara Swisher has been booked on about 74 emergency podcasts in the past twenty four hours to poorly explain the situation she gleefully and very profitably helped create. Meanwhile, the best post about what actually happened comes, naturally, from @maxread.info https://maxread.substack.com/p/admin-

In retrospect maybe the Democrats should have put this in some ads after gawker published it in 2015

"I think we have a bias as people coming from the tech industry where we worked at companies, you know, such as Google, Facebook, these companies that have plenty of money, are funded by investors and have lots of people kind of sitting around doing nothing." www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

Instead of wasting millions of dollars trying to build tHE JOe roGaN oF THe LefT or whatever, those genius Democratic billionaires should just run endless commercials with the message: aren't you tired of these weird assholes constantly making everything in your life objectively worse?

The way nobody can drive well anymore because of GPS — not just atrophied turn-by-turn navigation, but the way ppl no longer know the layouts of their town or the names of roads or what to do when the map doesn’t match the terrain — that’s what genAI is doing to communication skills and literacy

If I were the face of literary fabulism for an entire generation of writers I would simply not use AI to “write” my latest book but I guess that’s why I’ll never be rich and/or famous.

Get the sense that attack in Colorado was the work of a single individual and thus hard to prevent. But worth recalling how how many FBI have already been pulled off counterterrorism and other forms of crimes for immigrant round up duty.

if you set the distribution of harms from pollution (e.g. cancer and asthma rates) next to the distribution of benefits from economic cooperation (e.g. income/wealth gaps) then the narrative that environmentalism is for the rich is the thing we should find surprising!

For 20 years we've let a few asocial dweebs eliminate our privacy to surveil everything we do online and turn the internet into a third rate mall. Now the weirdest dorks in history want to team up with our tinpot tyrant to use that network for more efficient fascism https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/

The Ukrainian drone attack was a highly sophisticated year long operation to smuggle munitions behind enemy lines, unlikely to be replicated by lone wolf terrorists. Lives in a country with more firearms than citizens where the median vehicle is larger than a Sherman tank Cool. Cool cool cool.

In my ongoing effort to swear less I'm incorporating some of Bluey's dad's euphemisms, like "cheese and crackers!" in an Australian Blue Heeler accent, of course. This has resulted in the younger child regularly exclaiming "JESUS. CRACKERS!" (accented, natch) when he gets frustrated.

So it turns out that Elon Musk is 5X the sex-crazed, drug-addled freak that Republicans claimed Hunter Biden was...and whereas Hunter played no role in his dad's administration, Musk was basically running much of the country for the past 4 months. Lovely.

90% certain Zuck agreed to this because Palmer Luckey is one of the few humans he can look like less of a chud while standing next to.

These chuds have never personally sacrificed a single thing in their sad little lives and have no idea what public service actually means.

It isn't the content that's the problem. It's the way that center and left discourse is stuck behind paywalls while rightwing discourse is pushed out free, bankrolled by billionaires, and distributed like wildfire across social networks. We aren't failing at ideas, we're failing at spreading them.

Today is National Biscuit Day, and it’s about time that I populated this account with biscuit (cookie) sets from the past few years. Here are some of my favourites. 🧵 First up, a set inspired by the delicious designs of William Morris and John Henry Dearle.

Of course that’s your contention. You’re a first year Fediverse power-user. You just got finished reading about how Bluesky isn’t decentralized — Christine’s blog post probably — and you’re convinced that AT Protocol is a flash in the pan while ActivityPub is the real hope for the web’s future.

The idiotic culture warring aside, if one were truly interested in good jobs for plumbers and electricians, they would expand the IRA and invest massively in transitioning American energy infrastructure to renewables.
