In an uber on the way to LaGuardia I spotted THREE Fisker Oceans in the same block. What weirdness is this? Is there a magical Fisker tree in Astoria? (Stock photo, all were white) #weirdcarbs

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

As he celebrates his 100th Birthday this very day, can we all take a moment to acknowledge that time when Dick Van Dyke won the internet internet.

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

At 404 Media, we also talk to experts and those impacted by policies like book bans while the US government continues to push through safeguards on AI with tech giants.

Here, author @maggietokudahall.bsky.social and president of @authorsabb.bsky.social gives us perspective.

Did I just heard a marching band at the Macy's parade play Hyperballad by Bjork? Some band director somewhere in the midwest is a hero this Thanksgiving day.

Digging this new song from Avalon Emerson. She's better known as a peak time @ Berghain style techno dj rather than a pop star, but that dj skillset clearly translates to dreamy pop music.

I’ve often called this song—“Just Like Heaven”—the finest single of the 80s and meant it. This cover’s arrangement only confirms it for me 💜🔥

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.

So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

My less than jazz afflicted wife took me to see Herbie Hancock for my birthday last night. He played some of the “hits” but all were reimagined, reinterpreted, reimprovised through the great players who shared the stage. They went some places & he shared some thoughts about technology and the future

democrats preserving the fillibuster just for trump to direct republicans to get rid of it was for nothing. democrats should have done this day one in the biden administration but their biggest downfall was assuming that political “norms” were restored after biden won

It is simply absurd to write these articles without including something like “I asked a psychologist how much cocaine would be needed to make someone care about very big statues and he said it was a whole lot”
Conservative-leaning tech investors are racing to build a new American colossus, and they want something much, much bigger than the Statue of Liberty. Meet the new monuments men of the tech right and their plans for statue-maxing:

America’s Tech Right Is Obsessed With Building Giant Statues
With proposals for a 450-foot statue of Prometheus on Alcatraz and a 650-foot George Washington, MAGA adherents are racing to build America’s largest statue.
