One of the most hilarious internet sagas I've ever seen, like you wanna hear a story about how me and this bitch here fell out status
Friendly FYI: It's been brought to my attention by a very kind tech reporter that I am being impersonated on X. To anyone who may be following me there, *it is not me.* Please do not contact/text the person behind it with information given the also fake Signal contact the account has.
California last week quietly amended a proposed law that was effectively an social media ban for people under 16 years old. It's now a proposed law against 'addictive features' on social media for people under 16. This bill had been sailing through Ca legislature.
Restoration Hardware catalogue opening with a massive Ronald Regan quote lmao. Somehow I’m not buying that this is the design equivalent of the Berlin Wall coming down
Out of the Pelley interview, it's this bit that reflects the problems in all kinds of newsrooms today: daring to disagree, god forbid forcefully or knowledgeably, or question leadership, which is what you're supposed to do for a living, is now treated as a fireable offense.
I'll give it to sarah paulson for making some kind of statement, and teyana taylor can basically do no wrong in my eyes, but the amount of beige and black and metallic and volume for the sake of it, sigh
AI cos say: AI will bring about great things, like a 4-day work week! AI cos do: Require 6-day work week
for me it was really just like, oh ok so you want a policy that says AI is as important as being able to read... can't imagine why they would be pushing that line
Here she is sharing her fear over Demis (Hassabis) and his work(?), urging Musk to try and slow him down... "it feels fundamentally irresponsible to not find a way to slow or alter his path"
"buy me the same jacket I bought a few months ago" is a really amazing use case
never forget blaming Biden for a $78 meal tab that was almost entirely alcohol www.facebook.com/permalink.ph...
really goes to show just how many people do not want data brokers to have their shit
tried to get the city where I live to put a four way stop along a stretch of very popular residential road (several crashes + pedestrian hit). It took a year for them to say no, in part bc "research" says stop signs arent worth it because of risk that they're ignored, among other insane reasons
Epstein dming with someone who was buds with the late asshole James Watson
funny to see Epstein say over and over Trump is a moron. To Larry Summers "your world does not understand how dumb he really is"
Lit agent/publisher John Brockman connecting Epstein with every famous billionaire you can think of and... Miuccia Prada?!?
Someone named "The Duke" telling Ghislaine and Epstein to make sure they say he knows nothing because he "can't take much more on my end"
Now Michael Wolff trying to media fix for him (he couldn't discuss that night bc "Woody and Soon-Yi coming for dinner tonight."
incredible to see NYT reporter Landon Thomas over a decade into his time there advising Jeffrey Epstein on how to "fight back" on reporting about his crimes. Tells him to go on TV and "Present evidence that she is lying AND show the world that you are no longer that guy."
