Always a good rule of thumb to block accounts that turn off comments and quote posts.
Nothing more cowardly than dropping a turd in the punchbowl and then blocking all ways people can interact with it.

For BBC Future, I was asked to give AI a series of Rorschach inkblots and ask the systems what it saw. The findings tell us about what AI is and isn't - and how humans are different www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...
We gave an AI a Rorschach test. What it saw in the inkblots offers a window into the human mind
Rorschach tests play with the human imagination and our mind's ability to impart meaning onto the world around us – but what does AI see in them?

A trade policy based on whim and spite is no way to run a country.
so much for creating domestic sources of critical, cutting-edge microchips
Good overview here. The CHIPS Act, which was passed with pretty broad bipartisan support is basically gett the USAID treatement, the people charged with administering it are getting fired. A large proportion are probationary. semiwiki.com/semiconducto...

If you can't hear the lyrics and need to know a backstory to understand a half-time performance.....then it's not a 'masterpiece'
You can't exactly blame the viewer for it being a little boring.

Look, you may not be familiar with the genius of Kendrick Lamar and couldn't quite hear the lyrics and don't know the backstory and the symbolism went over your head, but trust me when I say you'll want to read an analysis of it and rewatch. A true masterpiece.

It's entirely possible to *not* be ok with things going on and also enjoy glancing at Twitter and Instagram now and then.
Stop wagging your finger for how people choose to enjoy their lives.

I was looking at a certain high profile journalist’s IG meme account and it sort of hit me that the fact that a ton of people are still using Twitter at this point probably means a lot of people are low key okay with everything going on.
