Pregadores evangélicos do YouTube, cowboys de bolsominions e apps de apostas online: eis como as eleições presidenciais do Brasil deram errado. www.garbageday.email/p/voting-onl...
There's a lot to learn from the first round of Brazil's election this week. The biggest lesson being that you can't vote the far right out of power when they still have a complete monopoly over social media. www.garbageday.email/p/voting-onl...

“The hot new song is now the perpetual hot new song and there are all kinds of systems in place to make sure it stays that way. At a certain point, that level of domination doesn’t look like a good thing, it means you aren’t competing against anyone else. It means the entire system might be broken.”

I downloaded Meta's new AI agent, Muse. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with this stupid thing and I can't imagine being a lame enough person to ever need any of the things it claims it could do for me. www.garbageday.email/p/am-i-too-b...

To be clear, it was Panic World producer @grantirving.bsky.social asking the question because Ryan approved anything on this list under $100.

A cult of losers who think you can turn a computer into god infiltrated the highest levels of San Francisco society and they want you to be scared of AI in a very specific way. www.garbageday.email/p/they-want-...

The Word on the Street Is Run: Jimmy Breslin on 9/11 The legendary newspaper columnist was on Liberty Street, just two blocks from the World Trade Center, when Tower One collapsed. From the Oct. 25, 2001 issue of Rolling Stone: www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...
One month after 9/11, Rolling Stone published a special issue with stories from David Foster Wallace, Jonathan Lethem, Kurt Loder, and more. Many are online for the first time today to mark the 25th anniversary of the attack. Read: www.rollingstone.com/p/9-11-remem...

A solid account of the migration of Kirk memes from the groyper right to the left, although my guess is that trans shitposter DMs were in at the beginning, too. Anyway: “Trumpism is doomed because they suck at event planning”is real insight
One year after his death, Charlie Kirk has become the Harambe for Gen Alpha. A meme so strange and hideous that no brand or government can ever co-opt it. And MAGA has never felt older and weaker and more out of touch. www.garbageday.email/p/charlie-ki...

As a longtime @garbageday.email reader, it was encouraging to hear @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social with such an optimistic take on the possible internet future ahead of us (which aligns really well with what we're building on atproto!) www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuG8...

One year ago today, Charlie Kirk was killed by someone the right-wing wasn’t able to effectively use for fearmongering. On Panic World, we look back at what Kirk’s legacy is now: a guy who’s trapped in memes and shitposts forever. www.patreon.com/PanicWorld/p...

The Lindsay Clancy story has become a neutron bomb of gender discourse, true crime brainrot, MAHA anti-big pharma narratives, and even pulled in the astrology community. But the most overwhelming narrative is the all-out assault from the right wing on mothers. www.garbageday.email/p/right-wing...
An amateurishly animated movie from China has put new attention onto the question of whether even the worst artistic human creation is preferable to something generated by AI. www.garbageday.email/p/can-chines...

"I’d go so far as to say that without social media — or, rather, the need to compulsively post on social media, to be digitally productive — there’d be almost no reason for generative AI to exist at all." @garbageday.email www.garbageday.email/p/hank-green...

The most recent @garbageday.email has a prediction about Silicon Valley trying to make gen-AI cool and I think is both spot-on & very depressing

They might not agree on the details, but very different groups are pretty aligned on one thing: They hate hearing about AI and they definitely don't want a data center built in their town. Read more from @garbageday.email www.garbageday.email/p/no-one-wan...
