It’s really just that when the right is talking about tech they are talking about the employees and the left is talking about the bosses. Everything becomes legible under that construction. bsky.app/profile/radl...
Yeah, you can give these guys agency for their dickishness. The simplest explanation is that wealthy, center-left tech guys turned into angry middle-aged white guys.

Danica Roem is the best illustration of how transphobes are more obsessed with trans people than any actual trans person because all her campaigns are like "it's time to fix these potholes" and her opponents are like "the children will not be safe unless you explain how you go to the bathroom."

This piece captures the heartbreak and horror that I feel for my suffering Jewish friends & colleagues. Fuck Hamas, fuck antisemitism, fuck right-wing fascist governments, and fuck indiscriminate violence.

there are like 5 crises that are all accelerating at once in America now, but a fun game to play is to pick one and say the other four are just the media's way of distracting us from the one you picked

Something I have never believed is that you should read conservatives to get their perspective. It’s actually very easily gotten; a little goes a long way. Conservatism is an intellectual defense of selfishness where the conservative is always in a superior in group. That’s it to me.

It's true. The Blue Check was The Perfect Deal. One might say it was "Too good," which is possibly why everyone migrated here anyway after handing $8 to the most prolific con man on the planet. All the stupidest people in the world were correct this whole time, and I am sorry.

I think anyone even remotely to the right would consider me a radical leftist, but I’m pretty sure that a radical leftist would find me to be a soft & compromised member of the PMC.

I said this a year ago elsewhere, but I’ll say it again here: It's impossible to overstate how much the big tech CEOs & VCs are being radicalized within their bubble. The level of paranoia & contrived victimization is off the charts, and they increasingly only consume media that they have funded.

I hope Elon gets an early model! The deluxe! Deeply planted!
Now that the brain chip implant from Elon Musk’s Neuralink is cleared for human trials, people are clamoring to get one. I interviewed some who believe it could cure what ails them and kick off a utopian techno-future. They don’t seem concerned about all the dead monkeys left in the company’s wake.

AirPods were truly some of the first AR experiences and I’m still so stunned by their abilities. For a Han Solo diner, the transparency plus fidelity is genuinely stunning in a restaurant or at a sushi bar. Same great joint, now with Dave Pike!
