When you get into one of these groups, there’s only a couple of ways you can get out. One is death, the other is mental institutions.

world's tiniest violin for all of the class-first leftists out there who just so happen to only be good at studying bourgeois cultural artifacts. may you eventually learn how to write about something other than yourself

Humiliating thing to lie about, brother.

And let me be clear: I don’t care if you’re progressive, moderate, or conservative. I’ve worked with Democrats across the ideological spectrum. We didn’t always agree, but we understood that building a stronger Democratic Party was part of the job.

This fucking sucks. No show has been such a breath of fresh air, and I remember being so impressed with how Strip Law made me laugh in new ways every time. No show’s understood its audience and the culture in which it was released this well. Deep shame for Netflix, and this team should be proud.

Posting is a mostly dead art, but now and then, you’re reminded what real posting is, what posting talent looks like and it sparks joy.

hi, sorry, not sure i follow. could you rephrase this but in an even more embarrassing way for an adult to talk

I get why people don’t like it, but you gotta accept champions willing to dab on your enemies like this when they present themselves.

BREAKING: Jeff Bezos’ ex-wife has made a “transformational” donation to the LGBTQ+ advocacy group. This large gift comes just months after the Trump administration shut down counseling services for queer youth. My latest for @wired.com:

This is as close to a declaration that he is the state as exists, frankly.

Asked “if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

The more I think about this and look at the right wing, I actually think we’ll have an opportunity to take this back in the next 5 years. Build a vision of technology that’s not about surveillance, misanthropic automation, or devaluing workers.

Absolutely, and it shows a failure of imagination that people only see techno-optimism as AI optimism. Adopting a pro-technology stance is part of envisioning a better world.

this post is correct commercially but incorrect in that it imagines two additional points: * The complaints are from pure consumers * The sign of love for a product means that it never declines in commercial viability

Kara Swisher@karaswisher.bsky.social

If movie theaters were a thing consumers loved, they would be there. They go there for horror movies, some action blockbusters. Let me reiterate a line I wrote decades ago about the nascent digital space: Consumers have taken control of their entertainment experience & they are never giving it back.

If you are deemed an enemy by the US Government, there is no limitation on their use of force against you. The decision to deem you an enemy has no process and is totally arbitrary. It’s the nightmare that this country was purportedly specifically designed to avoid.

The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere. Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.
