i may be like losing oxygen to my brain here but i think my deepest fear is that if the medium really is the message, then maybe the message is that as a culture we’ve chosen engagement and a brand of viral conflict over any hope of resolution

Wrote about the week. How the shooter's ID didn't appear to matter to ppl. How the discourse takes place in very same spaces that incubate/perpetuate hate & violence. How shooters now know that their acts will be flattened, analyzed, argued over & amplified. How all of this feels so dark & poisonous
Something Is Very Wrong Online
Our political conversations take place in very same spaces that incubate and perpetuate unthinkable violence.

If you’re looking for a good distraction this weekend, I highly recommend this movie.

The generation that beat the Russians only to let them ass rape them in the Oval nursing home. narcissism and dementia will define the Boomers forever
Lindsey Graham immediately following up an Oval Office meeting at which Trump and Vance disgraced themselves and the United States with a call for Zelenskyy to leave Ukraine's presidency only makes me feel more strongly that this whole event today was pre-planned and in service of Kremlin interests.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Stutsman showing out the Logie’s hat on the broadcast is hilarious NIL

NB for football fans that’s the bar where the Liberty to OU holder got worked by the cauliflower ear guy in the bathroom.

One man admitted he voted for Trump without knowing it was Obamacare that allowed his mother with stage 4 cancer to get treatment.

This is what happens when misinformation wins out over facts.

Lots of mostly maga free posts and comments but still a flood of anxiety inducing content here. Key to stay on the craziness, but we could all use a little more on the inspiring or good feel side. Here’s one - my photos of my favorite human bean - hanging at my next exhibit in Austin. Willie love.

Explain to me why I should read this graph as a measure of consumer confidence rather than partisan sentiment.

i am of course a lil bit conflicted about leaving X (not bc of my followers but bc the job is to reach people and i think filter bubbles can have real effects too) but i think what Musk has done changes the calculus and i laid that case out here

So much good in this world. Proud to know you Turk. Congrats
Good news - we’ve broken ground near this beautiful spot on our 40th new ECD/preschool in rural Kenya. This one at Oloile Primary near Amboseli with a beautiful view of Kilimanjaro and a LOT of smart kids. 20 years/60 big school partnerships - not bad for a mom and pop operation. Nobelity.org
