I’m almost done with @tonytula.com’s “Rejection” after starting it last night. It’s so good and also makes me want to log off forever. How am I supposed to post about this book and not ruin my life

apple, 2016: we don’t want our brand to be associated with violence. the gun emoji is now a water pistol.

apple, 2024: you want a “man with a gun emoji?” no problem. you want it to look like your buddy Jake, right?

Newsom, IMO, almost perfectly embodies why so many people hate the Democratic Party.

Looking at 2028 (assuming we have elections), I’m more convinced than ever that electoral success is contingent on rejecting him and everybody like him. The tent is too big and these are the people to kick out.
UnitedHealth recently helped kill single-payer health care legislation in California.

Gov. Gavin Newsom backed off his previous support of the idea -- after he & Dems received huge money from UnitedHealth donors. https://buff.ly/3ZPLOPu

On many occasions I’ve agonized over whether I’m making a good use of my time alive + contributing more good than bad to the world. I’m going to be a little bit less hard on myself and lower the bar to “mega polarized country wouldn’t unify to celebrate me, otherwise a stranger, being murdered”

Spotify Wrapped is out and this year has an AI generated podcast (courtesy of Google) where two robots will talk about your year in music.

Almost immediately it hallucinated my top artists incorrectly, which is THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE EXERCISE

I feel like I’ve been transported to 2003. The instant reversion has been truly unnerving, watching a snapback to a time before we learned where this all leads. I haven’t felt this powerless to history in my entire life.

YouTube Music workers/AWU-CWA members are on strike today. The NLRB has ruled *twice* that Google is a co-employer of these workers along with Cognizant, and yet Google still refuses to sit at the bargaining table out of sheer hubris. Loathsome behavior from my employer.
