The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

the rise of ever-better AI deep fakes is really validating my choice both to stay on text based media and my passionate hatred of being filmed or photographed, I gotta say

I was re-playing TLOU2 when I found this (extremely sad) note, and now I am so invested that I need to know @vickersofdibley.bsky.social. Were you involved in the development? :O

reality eventually reasserts itself. "smart" is always what it takes to adapt to one's environment, whether that's preserving attention span despite dopamine saturation (the past ten years), or acquiring independent thinking despite automated reasoning (the next ten years)

Impressive visualization and discussion on global human mobility. A tiny display of how to put massive data collection to good use. I still dislike Meta.

Fascinating information about the U.S. planned approach to Greenland — this is not about military conquest, but about shaping perception and influence. It involves information operations, strategic messaging, narrative building, and psychological influence.

It's #1stApril but this is no joke. The clock is most definitely ticking. A catastrophic chain reaction of space debris causing collisions, each creating more debris, is not just a possibility, it's already under way. In some orbits, we really could run out of space. Is it a crisis?

This is what tyrants like Erdogan do- they kidnap people off the street and disappear them. We are now an authoritarian state like Turkey.
Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.
