Twice a day, Threads will send me a push notification suggesting a post I might like. Without fail when I click on that notification, I will not be sent to that post, but instead to my stale home feed. It’s a clever anti-growth-hacking strategy, repeatedly baiting me into having a shitty experience.

If I were a Republican in 2025, I might question why 100% of headlines meant to pander to me read like they were written by a 5th grader.

As someone who did AI/ML research in the early 2010s, I often run into tech that seems impossible — shit that absolutely shouldn’t work but somehow does.
The one that takes the cake? Depth from a single image. It violates all intuitions; it’s absurd; it works shockingly well. Pure sorcery.

I know there are far more important things going on in the world today, but I am livid at how terrible the official Tetris iPhone app is. I just want to play Tetris! Let me pay you an annual subscription to play Tetris!

That feeling when you’re absolutely livid about the Democrats folding on the government shutdown, but also have a flight on Thursday and kinda wish this abject moral failure and cowardice would pick up the pace a little

Call me a tight ass, but I think we can disqualify anyone from political leadership if they espouse Nazi viewpoints, joke about being Nazi, or have Nazi tattoos. I don’t know the exact demographics, but I’m gonna wager there’s something like 200 million adults in the US who can pass this strict bar.

It is a scandal totally unprecedented in history that the Vice President has shared a video depicting the President as king. It’s an obscene violation of every founding American principle.
And nothing will come of it. It makes me physically sick.

I’m extremely let down by the media’s whitewashing of genocide and fascism, but I also think our outrage over passive vs active voice is occasionally overstated. Does “children were pulled, crying, from their apartments” leave any real reader unclear on the ethics? (See also: “falsehood” vs “lie”.)

Anybody feel that Gmail’s spam filter heavily regressed this year? I’ve had so many false positives—emails from friends, newsletters I subscribe to, etc—and have had multiple friends miss my emails for the same reason.
I now routinely check my spam folder, which defeats the point of a spam folder!
