#SCOTUS Via Elie Mystal: YOU WANNA SEE A DEAD BODY??? *This* is the NOW INFAMOUS "Footnote 12" that Jackson wrote. It basically tells Neil Gorsuch: "Fuck you as a staff, label, and motherfucking crew."

1) Apple *is* an accessibility leader. That doesn't mean that every choice they make is good. It doesn't mean that they get a pass when they mess up. 2) Options to make designs more accessible are great, but they often make things clunky/ugly. 3) Many users will never dive into accessibility […]

so DRUMPF got a team of lawyers for free (DoJ), and a guerrilla manual (Project 2025) and spends his time just creating chaos around and letting “his” free lawyers to deal and *take* the punches, while he keeps enriching himself in very corrupted ways while we all are so tantalised & mesmerised […]

remember that when you, or anyone, say “i’ve always believed/thought…” whatever you say after that will *always* say more about you than about anything else, and if what you say is wrong, it’ll also communicate that, unless you’re *very* young, you’re fine being wrong for a long time.

wouldn’t it be VERY funny if the president of the usa were entangled in a money laundering scheme involving a gift old plane just because his ego can’t say no to adulation? https://universeodon.com/@georgetakei/114512560888096844

first they built a system where every opinion is valued equally (social media), then they built a system that creates opinions at a breakneck pace (ai)… no wonder we’re all confused by what’s out there (hint: it’s mostly slop)

if you feel lonely and unseen in your work, consider that many of our societies value *doing* much higher, and sometimes much more exclusively, than *thinking*

i’m beginning to think that the saying “it’s only illegal if they catch you” got its way up to the presidency…

i also realise that what’s happening now with his administration must be the loophole Gödel found in the U.S. Constitution: who can reign in a president whose power over the people can indeed manipulate all other popularly-elected officials that are to check-and-balance the presidency? […]

i now realise Trump is exactly what Kings would have been like in antiquity. unfortunately, he’s also one of the terribly inept ones, those that engendered revolutions. you know, like George and his tea tariffs?

how do you solve a problem like Drumpf: - call and complain the fuck to your representatives (best if they’re the red kind) - vote them the fuck out if they don’t put brakes to his idiocy

Siliconvalley’s Cat: a startup, 20 pivots, and a short runway connected to a term sheet are placed in a sealed box. As illustrated, the EBITDA description uses a superposition of a startup worth billions because of the VC’s sheer willpower, and one that is worth nothing because it doesn’t do […]

1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare. It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process. My fact check of the Trump HHS review. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Maya Angelou probably warned us how pitiful, populist liars can gain so much collective clout and favour: because they make them feel good with their lies. “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” […]

Honestly wish I'd discovered Clive Barker sooner, especially after this direct quote. Noting Rowling’s vast financial success, Barker felt that Rowling’s newfound position of fame ought to exclude her from discussing trans rights. He added, “It really just seems redundant for a woman as […]

that’s the whole point: they’re not thinking, they’re just doing what they want, so arguing with them is pointless, and the only option is getting them out of positions of power, and then ignoring them. https://mas.to/@carnage4life/114411481306263897

they’re macro-cultural translators, and they translate into a mathematised status quo. they shave outliers out, until what’s left is the cultural, and technological median. they’re, effectively, entropy machines*. (*for the average replyperson, said in terms of information theory) […]
