The NYT took the criticism of the Comey Letter to mean they should have been doing tabloidy oppo reporting all year long, not just the week before the election

I did high school policy debate, and man that exact issue is true 1000x over. It’s 100% about how you say things and boxing out weird logical contortions rather than saying anything true or meaningful.

I think we have more power than that. Bully senators, claw back some house seats & governorships. Kansas is clawing back some abortion rights already. Scold broadly and deeply. Every small town should be papered with annoying local activism.

People use pepe emoji reacts in my centrist-liberal 1000+ person corporate Slack. Think it’s fair to say the negative connotations never reached the normies.

I also think it’s that they may enjoy art, but have no conscious understanding of why it moves them, or an inkling of how it’s produced. The rich CEOs at the front of this don’t even do their own jobs! They have no concept of the iteration and synthesis that goes into art, or work in general!

I think people are right to point out the system is extremely stupid, and that if a party plays strategically, only extreme tragedies or decades long control can shift the court. But there’s a clear way to play the extremely stupid cards we’re dealt.

Also sentiment isn’t driven by the math. Wages up 10%, inflation up 7%, doesn’t feel like you’re making more money even if you mathematically are.

The way he simps for Jay Z, he’s definitely not a Nazi. He literally got Square to buy Tidal for the guy. He was also pro BLM even in the Ferguson days, and donated to some fairly cool causes. Doesn’t stop him from being an idiot with brain worms tho.

If it was rare situations like that, no one would really care. As is, every screening I’ve been to - even a DGA special screening or arthouse movies - there’s someone in the row in front of me that checks their phone constantly.

Good for the company, bad for the stock price and shareholders. An odd combo if you, ya know, have any belief in modern capitalism, but not if you’re a cynical internet lefty like us amirite!

The puritanical evangelical-led anti-porn movements are so much worse than how things are right now. Teens do need less access to the crazy shit that’s on the front page of every porn site, but sneaking a little vanilla playboy is probably healthy. Feels like the 00s abstinence convo again.

Generative AI (remember Google DeepDream), word2vec, Transformer models were all born in Googles NLP & CV research so this tbh isn’t surprising. Google is basically the brain trust that cause the AI boom, and a lot of that was driven by their search teams needs.

Every tech company is more profitable today than when hiring was easy in the 2010s. Every company doing layoffs is doing to so to appease Wall Street stock valuations, not cause they need to downsize. Just a deeply broken economy over there.

It’s kind of performance art I guess you could say. The point is the cars will give you your right of way if you threaten property damage, but won’t if you sit there politely. Funny in context, but definitely one of those deeply online urbanist jokes. www.reddit.com/r/funnyvideo...

There’s a tag. Even if you wanted to build an AI feature, it’d be so much more useful to have a camera to scan the tags and sort the clothes, pick the cycle for you, etc.

I get it, but idk, always found it hard to engage with games this way. Like film, I’m a voracious critical reader of form, themes, production, etc. but games, I can’t be arsed to sit through the cutscenes most of the time.

I was a big fan of pocket tactics circa 2016ish. The pivot that took over that site was obvious from the outside, but didn’t realize it was a harbinger of corporate takeover shenanigans to come. A shame cause iPhones are such a convenient platform for bite sized strategy puzzle games.
