A PSA to those who are still confused on how to read Trump. He uses perfect Orwellian Doublespeak — anything he says isn't just a lie, the truth is actually the exact opposite. It's super helpful to know this.

Tell me why the survey company I have been using for years to make like $0.27 a day has suddenly decided I have to give them my government ID, and a full biometric facial scan in order to cash out... #TechnoCorporateFuedalism.

I woke up really tired… I’m not sure if I’m going to be able to fulfill my obligations to the state today. I just don’t know if I have it in me to manufacture goods and services and have 2.7 children to keep us above the replacement rate. I’m really sorry everybody.

Nice to see people realizing that there is a tremendous amount of market manipulation with the tariffs. The Trump administration has announced and then paused tariffs three times without convincing explanation for either the tariffs or the pause. It's hard to believe there is any other motivation.

It’s amazing to me that whether it’s minimalism or maximalist, clutter filled shops & homes, I always find the Japanese rendition to be the most inviting.

This is a very interesting video, at the intersection of fashion, technology and social issues. It provoked the thought in me that if governments continue to force surveillance on their civilians they will push forward a world with more and more harsh anonymity like masks or cloaks.

Interesting. If you agree, then another solution would be for all of us who are users of these platforms to make a concerted effort to interact with and promote users, orgs, etc. that aren't well established. I know I do. Who knows, we might be pleasantly surprised/rewarded.

The Matthew Effect of Post-Twitter Social Networks
The Matthew Effect was first coined by sociologists Robert K. Merton and Harriet Zuckerman in 1968, who noticed that eminent scientists tended to get disproportionate credit for collaborative research...

Salesforce is hiring 2k salespeople to sell its AI agent software. That software has widely advertised its sales agents. Look, obviously I get it, but that is still so ironic.

Open AI Whistleblower committed suicide. Why are whistle blowers so prone to doing that? Things keep adding up for Open AI under Same Altman. My Spidey senses are tingling. I think we might have a villain on our hands.

I’m convinced there is an epidemic in this country of the mentality: “Fuck you, me.”

Anyone else get a twitch in their neck and come to the completely logical conclusion that the only explanation is imminent death? No? Just me? Okay then.
