“'You Can See Everything' is a hilarious, thrilling, fascinating, beautiful piece of art. What it certainly is not is a documentary, and it’s dangerous to pretend that it is,” writes Theranos whistleblower Tyler Shultz. https://bit.ly/4Bk2nDJ

is it really all that ruthless if it would never fucking work in a million years

The New York Times@nytimes.com

Many fellow GOP politicians have distanced themselves from Vivek Ramaswamy’s brutal ad targeting Amy Acton, his Democratic rival in the Ohio governor’s race. The fallout shows that major political figures are still split on what is fair game for campaign attacks in the Trump era. nyti.ms/3WKjsqs

NATHAN FIELDER: So now that you’ve seen it, can you tell me what was funny about that bit? ELIZABETH HOLMES: *smiling like the Smile Demon from the Smile horror movie series* The guy took a really long time to describe what his family’s act was

bret here points out that some people need Christmas card photos. I am available for this work, if that's your thing

Bret LaGree@hoopinion.bsky.social

I would hire you to do our Christmas card photos + hang out, but it’s not in our travel budget. Both kids would love Corbs, no doubt. The above is allowed for use in promotions.

The only reason relocation "hangs" over the Blazers negotiations in Portland is because the media keep bringing it up. There are no superior available markets/offers, and there's not even a hard deadline to complete a deal.

Mike Vorkunov@mikevorkunov.bsky.social

Relocation hangs over the Blazers' negotiations with city of Portland. It has gone unsaid in public, but not privately, sources said, though Tom Dundon said it's “not a conversation.” “We are working to keep the team in Portland," Dundon said. "That is the priority.” www.nytimes.com/athletic/769...

nytimes.comTom Dundon denies floating Blazers relocation, says he's working to keep team in Portland

Sony is considering releasing all 4 ‘BEATLES’ biopics on the same day in April 2028. Another idea being considered is offering a 4-pack of tickets to encourage fans to buy tickets to all 4 films at once. (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...)

A thing I think about a lot is how directly this stuff is descended from casino customer-tracking apps as they were emerging in the 90s. Addiction By Design covers this in a chapter - casinos harvest data on videoslot players and then measure exactly where their "Frustration point" is on losses.

No joke. I think this is the most important video I have ever seen about mobile games. This guy breaks down how this game psychologically profiles you, and makes the game harder or easier in order to show you ads
