For the FT, I wrote an essay about why the daily experience of the Internet keeps getting worse, tipping us into madness and conflict. I gather ideas about slop, enshittification, and dead internet theory under what I call "the hostile Internet." www.ft.com/content/5d06...

I see several things happening in Ukraine right now: 1: Ukraine has pivoted to a drone based defense. Most of the gains you see Russia making right now are coming as a result of one of two things. A: Inferior Ukrainian drone units or B: Overwhelming Numerical Superiority.

"Thanks to figures such as Mr. Musk, Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen, the industry is now on a trajectory to become all the things it once claimed to hate: too big and too dependent on government largess — and a threat to human liberty." - @superwuster.bsky.social

Now we're in the age of AI slop, we need to retire the word 'feed' (as in 'social media feed'). I propose 'trough' as a alternative (as in 'pig tough', for dispensing food easily and simultaneously for multiple animals). 'Social media trough' is where we're heading.

“I like the way I look because I’m a good person.” During yesterday’s Oscars, Conan O’Brien, Adam Sandler and Timothée Chalamet reminded everyone what really matters in this world. Thank you for being good people supporting good people💙💛

Republicans will applaud Musk for showing up to the Oval Office in a T-shirt while cutting cancer research funding, yet they will criticize a hero like Zelensky for not wearing a suit and 'only' thanking them 33 times during a war

I don’t know if it’s possible to quantify how much global influence and power this administration has willfully squandered in the past four weeks. It is a national security disaster.

What we’re witnessing in America is what happens when disordered discourse captures a political party, then the state itself. The Republican Party was the first to fall - abandoning truth for conspiracy, ideology for grievance, and policy for performative outrage.

Heute vor 3 Jahren griff 🇷🇺 die 🇺🇦 wieder an. Seit 3 Jahren kämpft die 🇺🇦 gegen die Invasoren. Europa darf gerade jetzt die 🇺🇦 nicht alleine lassen. Es muss gelten: Nichts ohne die 🇺🇦 , nichts über den Kopf der 🇺🇦 hinweg. Die Sicherheit der 🇺🇦 ist auch unsere Sicherheit.
