Take up some “useless” hobbies. Learn things for the sake of learning them. Be an unabashed generalist.

You really can’t beat Raymond Chandler for similes and descriptions. Even if you go into these books thinking you know what hardboiled sounds like, he will consistently surprise you:

The firing of National Park Rangers and the implications for park visitor safety and land use/misuse has me incandescent with rage. These tech fascist motherfuckers are taking a sledgehammer to the things we love; because they’re empty inside and all they can do is break things.

NEW — I spoke to a staffer at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) about DOJ's threat to pull funding if the org didn't comply with Trump's DEI executive order, and how org leadership rolled over. "Rather than fight back, we chose to sacrifice trans children," they said.

This is a great combination of corporate-speak nonsense and #enshittification from @disneyplushelp.bsky.social

Meta allegedly torrented 81TB of pirated books to train its dumb AI. And they KNEW it was illegal (and morally wrong) so they tried to conceal the seeding on off-site servers. TECHBROS RUIN EVERYTHING.

It's appropriate that this sentiment comes after the industry realized that they haven't done anything useful in 20 years so they descended into mass psychosis over tech that does nothing but purports to do everything

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

(1/X) We're finally seeing signs that Democrats are starting to see how much people hate Elon Musk. Jared Golden (second whitest House seat in the country) is getting inundated with calls complaining about a "weirdo billionaire" running the country....

That people now see the typical person Silicon Valley has produced through decades long juvenilizing and coddling of young men and the persistent sidelining of women is an important thing except it’s also too late. These toxic adult toddlers are grown and cloning more.

One tiny, private act of resistance: reading long, old books. Feels subversive to a) pay sustained attention to b) something that can't be monetized.

This late Simic poem reminds me a bit of Causley's 'Eden Rock'. I admire both poems immensely, particularly as my own last picnic draws closer.

Do we think these stories would get more traction in MAGA-land if we started replacing the phrase “Elon Musk” with “some weird foreigner”?

‘Phonetic’ is not. ‘Abbreviation’ is 12 letters. ‘Thesaurus’ doesn’t have a synonym. Say what you will about English, but it has a sense of humor.

Remember during Trump 1 when someone told him he could use the Antiquities Act to undo National Monuments? Well, we never got around to codifying that in law, so we can probably prep for him to start pulling that again, too.

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening? In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control. Call it what it is.
