I have long felt the way to win here is to not build away from streaming, but to build *over top of* streaming. It’s a difficult line to walk, and one where some compromise is inevitable but better than either having no seat at the main table or having it take over your focus entirely

Pope Leo XIV has been gifted a massive green orb and honestly not now massive green orb

A must-read if you're interested in how the lit world is handling AI. I'd be happy getting just about any book from these folks in the wake of this!

I find people who troll others about having “pronouns in bio” to be uniquely exhausting. Y’all, I’m a large 6’4” man who - due to how my name is spelled - used to get beauty pageant invites in the mail as a child. It’s an amusing reason to be an ally, but here we are!

this is why i say that ai proponents need to spend less time arguing with those who hate ai and more time calling in each other - especially people like the one quoted here - otherwise it’s just energy expelled to no benefit of anyone

thats just online. it ebbs and flows

My local brewery screamed for an uninterrupted minute and I have been dancing jigs with no one like a grandfather in a pimp coat

Remember! What's the first thing we do when we want to have friendly intellectual discussions on how best to save democracy?

It’s so funny that “NYC is a crime riddled shithole where you immediately get stabbed if you go outside” and “the NYPD is awesome” coexist as beliefs in so many brains

i miss the early internet. people were like “you gotta see this dude. this cat sure is long.” and they were right. it was really long. it never shoulda gotten any more complicated than that.

I’m also in this, and picking ash out of my drink right before they go on is way too on-the-nose for 2025

I'm at #SXSW this year from 3/8 through its conclusion. Yes, I might have Really Done It This Time. I'll keep sharing fun stuff I'm doing, but tell me if you've got something I need to see.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

Here is a clear-eyed analysis of Trump's surrender to Putin from @zeit.de (headline with Google Translate), better than any coverage in US institutional media. I wish this coverage were translated and opened to US audiences. We need it.

Look, you can’t trust the newspapers. Not good to be here but we’ve been here for a quite a while

Flashes is like saying “what if we rolled Instagram back to being hyper-focused on personal photos, and it was tied directly to your Bluesky account?” It rules so far. Go get it.

flashes is a bluesky based competitor to instagram and it’s honestly great on launch. i get excited for any opportunity to destroy evil billionaires i’m converting my @junlper.bsky.social alt into my dedicated flashes acct if anyone was interested in me posting some sort of photo once in a while

Permanently deleted X today. It was about time. #unsubscribe

everyone has that one homie with their own special move combo

Some have been so numbed to the creep of power that they keep asking what if this turns violent. Friends, it is violent.

Take a fucking photo you bums

The conductor on my Amtrak made air horn noises to celebrate being one stop outta NYC. We are so back

Category is: my Thanksgiving bar outfit and @kodi.bsky.social walking in to show me the good memes

We’re crossing a critical threshold where everyone now has an account they hate on here. The Age of Blood has begun

always remember life's primary goal: to be as big as possible, and look weird as shit

I missed having somewhere to be absurd online while also still doing what I do. Hi friends. Tell me something good.

Bluesky gets the hero it deserves

Musk enters the arena in his embarrassing 3D printed Iron Man suit, making pew pew sounds from his hands. Zuck turns, drops his cape. He has an authentic FF7 buster sword. His eyes glow with mako energy. He spears Musk's sternum through cheap PLA plastic, initiating the limit break 'Climhazzard'.

Me in the opening months of 2020 (the third monitor was not great, thankfully we’re alright now)

BOPPENHEIMER

After all the years we’ve been doing this, you’d think we’d run out of places to say “first post” by now.
