This is what I love about Bluesky. I never thought to get a historianā€™s view of AI, but this is a vital read.

Finished! This is a history book for *now* as we confront fascism. ā€˜Either we help one another out of this maze of monstrifying mirrors, or we'll be stuck here bashing our fists against our reflections until we melt in a planetary cauldron of our own making.ā€™ @drsurekhadavies.bsky.social

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. Heā€™s got nothing else.

In the new "Surprise - It's Not a Toaster" podcast, @edbennett.bsky.social and I delve into the annoyance of online comments (including the vague history of how they came to be the cesspool they are today). Give it a listen - includes a tech tip and GenAI test: touchpoint.health/podcast/epis...

The Democratic party is laying low because they believe backlash to Trump is inevitable and they're going to win midterms and 2028 no problem. I promise you this is what they believe. And they are so wrong. 1/2

Cybertruck man. He's not actually blocking them, the auto-pilot just made them all swerve towards him before breaking down. (šŸ–Œļø @zezvaz.bsky.social ) #3E #EndOligarchy #TeslaTakeover #TeslaProtests

I enjoyed every word of this insane Reddit post

Two dozen papers!

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

Liberals: Why donā€™t people understand these critical issues and keep voting in ways that directly negatively impacts them? NYTimes: paywall WSJ: paywall WaPo: paywall Business Insider: paywall The Guardian: paywall Fox News: open Newsmax: open OAN: open Liberals: Itā€™s such a mystery.

Iā€™m cool with more dragons

For someone who works in the technology space for US Health Systems, I am all too familiar with how complex tech infrastructures can be. While I do focus on transformation and optimization, there just are certain ways to do this - outside of unfettered access by untrained, biased hacks.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isnā€™t going as planned. šŸ”„ Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at ā€œdangerous criminals.ā€ Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrestsā€”just a community that wasnā€™t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

It will take decades to recover from Trump, if ever

I think Americans, blessed with relatively stable government for a long time, assume there is someone, some adult, who will step in and make things right before the President does anything REALLY bad. Thereā€™s not.

ā€œMost have connections to Musk and at least two have connections to Peter Thiel, a cofounder and chairman of the analytics firm and government contractor Palantirā€: Akash Bobba Edward Coristine Luke Farritor Gautier Cole Killian Gavin Kliger Ethan Shaotran Contact @wired.com if you know them.

For everyone who voted for Trump because ā€œheā€™s not a politicianā€ā€¦ I hope your next colonoscopy is done by a plumber.

I havenā€™t laughed this hard in a very long time

This is a must read.

His plans are open and clear.

New "Surprise - It's Not a Toaster" #podcast - @edbennett.bsky.social and I dive into the world of Terms & Conditions, we geek out over fast website design, and ask GenAI to "simplify" classic literature. Can AI turn Moby Dick into a bedtime story? Listen in here: touchpoint.health/podcast/epis...

Media : why were people cheering for Luigi People :

Excellent analysis of the plane crash. Clear explanation by a senior pilot based the air traffic control recording. youtu.be/hfgllf1L9_4?...

We went from Pete Buttigeig to this.

The Dems need to fucking pull it together and have one consistent message and talking point. And then repeat it ad nauseam. Get over nuance, context and most importantly fretting about what the tools at the New York Times say. The country demands it.

āœØWHEEZINGāœØ

Gut punch

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012. Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place. A thread.

the reason gen z doesnā€™t care at all about ā€œchina having their dataā€ is because gen z knows that the US government has collected their online activity data since they were born

This is literally the funniest way the TikTok ban could've played out

Start the day with pro-level snark.

Quality stop motion. Has a Mike Jittlov vibe.

a good use of 10 minutes

Happy 25th Anniversary to those who remember...

Me before the 2024 election cycle Vs Me after

Iā€™d watch this

A John Wick movie where he assassinates everyone shooting off fireworks in a residential area because they upset his dog.

Happy New Year! youtu.be/vw89o0afb2A?...

Thatā€™s a very long list.

you know who should be inducted into the rock and roll hall of fame? Sisyphus

Today in "Why Should the Orcas Have All the Fun"

Perhaps I've misunderstood all along and WaPo ownership views "Democracy dies in darkness" as aspirational.šŸ¤”

Many will not get this.

Over reach much?
