If you're an MBA out to revolutionize a sports league, follow the Beer Line Method: go to a game and describe your idea to any five fans in line for concessions, and if they tell you it sucks major ass, buy their beer to say thanks for saving you money on AI match reports or NFT monkeys or whatever

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

As a fellow Revs fan, this is one place where the niceness some podcasts have really things. The good ones teach you so much more than the vapid sports talk you get most of the time

Can we stop calling an artificial representation of a person by a human-coded name? "She" does not exist. "She" is a reflection of someone's ingenue dreams, but "she" is pixels and code.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

interesting, can you say more about what you mean by “less to rebel against?”

I find this era pretty confusing because there is no “monoculture” but also in some ways more conformity. like the internet is full of people copying the same jokes and dances.

Yeah I have found this quite perplexing as a middle-millennial. I sure its super complicated but has to be somewhat related to the first part of everything being recorded

Great work @tpinzone343.bsky.social this held up perfectly.

Nothing changed from this article being published on April 9th through to today. But Porter has finally been let go.

CANCEL THEM.

the 35km racewalk at the world track and field championships are on Peacock

dozens of competitive racewalkers are doing their thing. they're in a track-and-field stadium but nobody is in the stands. they simultaneously look like they're exerting a lot of energy and yet chilling at the same time. the guy in front has both of his feet off the ground which means he is CHEATING

The thing with this company that exemplifies so much wrong with the current AI moment is, to my surprise, there were some good narrow uses for this like automated local pollen forecasts in audio form. Just don’t know why it needs to jump to take gardening podcasts with fake people

Guy in front of me in Ashe is actually eating the infamous $100 chicken-nuggets-with-caviar, which I thought was more of a parody than an actual menu item which people bought.

We could almost certainly be taxing the rich more.

I think most of the Left critiques of Abundance are at best naive and at worst misguided but this is not one of them.

It sounds like deeply thoughtful work and I look forward to reading the full book.

Mike Eliason @holz-bau.bsky.social · Sep 5

abundance doesn't do this. it punches left while waving right.

it completely ignores a long history of racist land use policies - going as far as lamenting environmental regs ensuring renters who literally live on highways can breathe - instead of, say, eliminating the highway

Wikipedia's resistance to enshittification is fascinating to me.

Wikipedia is under attack — and how it can survive

The site’s volunteers face threats from Trump, billionaires, and AI.
