And by "wrote the book" he means someone else wrote it for him and he took credit, Trump gets all of the credit he doesn't deserve, and none of the blame he does deserve

He is confusing "masculine" with "adolescent" here, he's trying to make excuses for bro dudes who act like spoiled, entitled teenage assholes, which has nothing to do with masculinity and everything to do with them taking their personal insecurities out on others

This is a good time to remind everyone that this administration hasn't done anything for anyone. It has literally only taken away things we've already paid for and fired and sued people. Oh and the quid pro quo with Adams. That's the extent of what they have done. Kinda nuts.

as a technologist I cannot overstate how bad these people are at being technologists

Once again, a fundamental reason why so many academics despise Trump, Vance, Musk & company is that we’ve all had our share of The Guy Who Didn’t Do The Reading But Demands to Be Heard

I know what @rayterrill.bsky.social is doing for New Year’s Eve

Good and important news as I know people were concerned about this

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Good birthright citizenship thread

They bypassed an actually useful but a little more challenging to build right implementation of AI—improving the archive search tool—in favor the simpler but completely useless and 100% missing the point implementation

Twitter is a private site. When run by relatively normal people it had the First Amendment right to ban whomever it wanted to ban. Same story when it was taken over by a needy sociopath. Bluesky is a private site and can moderate and ban as it likes to express the owners’ values.

Even if you are not in the tech world, this is a great talk on why it’s easy for things to go poorly

Data showing the top 16% of remote workers outperform the top 5% in-office, while the bottom 12% underperform the bottom 5% in-office, makes sense. Top performers thrive with extra time from no commute, but underperformers struggle without oversight. RTO penalizes top talent for others’ inability.

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation. I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.
