It's not the bamboo. | 🦀🐍🦕🏳️‍🌈

YES

and also: AI summaries for YouTube videos is the most insultingly uninspiring feature ever. I want to SEE the food, the art, the comedy, the people, in the video. I want to be surprised and delighted. I do not need a machine-digested version of the video regurgitated to me. It’s distracting.
I cannot emphasize enough how little I want to see AI illustrations of blog posts. Ethics aside, it is boring to look at one version of a computer's simulation of what a human might have done. I'd rather imagine it myself. I'd rather just read the text. I'd rather just stare into the void.

International media, you can do better than this.

"Bamboo" is maybe exotic and a compelling hook but it is too easy. The real story here is the growing culture of corruption, including a lack of accountability and oversight, that enabled a chain of human errors that led to this disaster.

TIL about `defaults write -g AppleFontSmoothing -int 0`

It's like `-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased` but for all of macOS instead

“There are two types of software engineers: urban planners and miniaturists.

“Miniaturists bring a horologist’s care for a fine watch to the inner workings of code.

Which links to this article, which is fascinating in its own right as an explainer of a lot of things, but principally as a baseline for why “sense of disgust” and quality of life concerns bite so hard — nextcity.org/urbanist-new...
Disgust: The Unexpected Psychological Reason Why Some People Dislike Density
Op-ed: New research suggests that people with higher disgust sensitivity find higher densities less appealing. What does that mean for urban planners?

They did that “person collided with car and died” thing, but in the ocean.

No, the whale didn’t collide with a boat. A person driving a boat hit a whale and killed it.
Whale dies after collision with small boat off New Jersey shore
A minke whale has died off the New Jersey shore after colliding with a small boat. The incident occurred Saturday in Barnegat Bay and the impact nearly tipped the boat and threw a person overboard.

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.
Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

"nimble young chinese women in the supply chain" gives me the same ick and rage as that "南方小土豆" meme from years ago

I STAND CORRECTED

github.com/pocket

apparently this has been here for a while now and im just ignorant
May 23, 2025 at 1:34 PM
alternative rationalization:

pocket made sense when the internet actually had content worth “read it later”

pocket saw the AI slop infested future of a decaying internet and noped the fuck out

i don’t think i will ever get over how stupid and incomprehensible it is for the US to destroy its own federal institutions and the process was not halted within a week

sure maybe the american people doesn’t actually need a national government to function in which case good for you i guess
