It is becoming unbelievably difficult to stay both informed and sane

The bipartisan belief that America would be a better place if *other people* worked in a factory. www.ft.com/content/8459...

Miguel Rojas definitely practiced for this moment 😂

Finally finished 四月は君の嘘 (Your Lie in April). There were so many times I shouted, "Just kiss already or say it!" They already knew they liked each other from previous interactions. I still think its portrayal about classical musicians is unrealistic and that's where it stops me from enjoying it.

We know that Amazon & SpaceX are suing to find the NLRB unconstitutional. Now joining Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk: USC, which is in a labor fight with non-tenure-track faculty members over unionizing. A rare university attack on government to join the government attack on universities.

"The 'both sides' approach here is false-equivalence, like that of treating an anti vax conspiracy theorist on a par with a scientist or medical doctor. One is illegitimate and dangerous, the other driven by verifiable empirical evidence." www.404media.co/facebook-pus...

What the hell happened to the tech industry? They don’t even seem to know what people want anymore. This is like asking me if I want a second nose.

Wynn-Williams “said the company was letting advertisers know when the teens were depressed so they could be served an ad at the best time.”

Framework stopped selling some models of its laptops in the U.S. “We priced our laptops when tariffs on imports from Taiwan were 0%. At a 10% tariff, we would have to sell the lowest-end SKUs at a loss," it told me www.404media.co/framework-st...

About halfway through 四月は君の嘘 (Your Lie in April). I have so many problems with the premise and character motivations. I somewhat don't understand why people like it. Maybe people are unaware reality doesn't work that way. I suppose I won't find dissenters here though happy to discuss.

That rendition of Chopin's "Winter Wind" etude (Op. 25 No. 11) is too loud and bangy in 四月は君の嘘 (Your Lie in April). Needs more musical and quieter contrasting sections. Kinda destroys the moment.

Today in everything is a metaphor, geoscientists have discovered that the craton, the enormous stable rock that forms the core of North America, is eroding away www.jsg.utexas.edu/news/2025/04...

All those dating tips telling people to be more confident can easily distort to just be a narcissist. Fake confidence. Why people complain about their personal relationships or workplaces. psychcentral.com/blog/psychol...

The study “found that the wealthiest Americans lived shorter lives than the wealthiest Europeans. In fact, wealthy Northern and Western Europeans had death rates 35 percent lower than the wealthiest Americans, whose lifespans were more like the poorest in Northern and Western Europe…”

NEW: There's no reason to act like Trump is pursuing a trade policy or an industrial revitalization strategy. These are just sanctions, imposed to intimidate countries and companies into submission like they're universities or law firms. They're what a mob boss would do. prospect.org/economy/2025...

What are you fucking talking about? Microsoft doesn’t make any money off of this! ChatGPT has no profits and Microsoft only makes money off of OpenAI’s profits! What “win” is there? Losing a bunch of money?

This anime's (Excel Saga) depiction of America is so funny. Features the Japanese voice actor of Sailor Moon (Kotono Mitsuishi). www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x39...

after seeing all the praise for The Atlantic, it's important to remember the magazine drove away Pulitzer Prize-winning science journalist Ed Yong and then hired Jonathan Chait late last year

When Robert McChesney's prophetic book "Digital Disconnect" was published a dozen years ago, I wrote this article about it. We lost a wonderful visionary person when Bob died a few days ago. @fairmediawatch.bsky.social

I wonder how much energy it cost for google to give me the wrong answer to this query

Are you looking to expose your children to measles to create natural immunity, but you just don't know how to make it fun? MAHA mom @franifio.bsky.social has you covered with a comprehensive guide to acquire this disease in the healthiest, coolest way possible. prospect.org/health/2025-...

"What was the Internet like before social media?" Um........... www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/...

old.reddit.com/r/MildlyBadD... Reminds me of this old Disney edutainment short titled Freewayphobia that I had to watch for driver's ed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjZR...

You do not want your genetic data to end up in a bankruptcy court, where it ends up in the hands of the highest bidder. If you ever used 23andMe, do this now.

I was thinking of arranging a piano version of Castle Corridor theme from Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. Turns out the game's composer, Michiru Yamane, did one! Amusing to listen to her variations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dj47...

That masked grey shirt lady's reaction (sitting in front row) to Roki Sasaki's bases loaded walk gives me life. www.mlb.com/video/roki-s...

A former Meta PR person has come out in support of "Careless People", saying that the book IS accurate
