Interesting that the gender is a spectrum, race is a spectrum, and mental health is a spectrum people are all 100% convinced it's definitely a genocide and there can be no nuance there. They hooked everyone on spectrums only to pull the rug right out from under us.

Increasingly, what I dig about vintage music clips is the humanity. The shifting tempo, the pitchy backing vocals, the iffy sound mixing, etc. Everything nowadays sounds like it came straight off the factory floor.

Does everyone know what a scam the NY Times Bestseller list is or we still buying into that boondoggle?

Chamath says Silicon Valley lost what made it great and only cares about money now

"Silicon Valley has completely lost what made it great. It was a place for weirdos, for people at the fringes, for people that really were idealistic. And it has become something that's far from that now. It is the equivalent of what Harvard used to be. It's a credentialing place."

"When we came, we used to aspire to meet the Bill Campbells of the world, Mike Moritz, John Doerr. Those folks are gone. We used to aspire to work for Steve Jobs. He's not here."

"And in that breach, all we have done is focused on making money in every single way that we can, hand over fist. And there's nothing wrong with that. Except now it’s at a point where we need to do a better job of acknowledging it and trying to do a little bit better.”

“Every time we don't, and we're given a chance to be better, and we're not, the hatred builds, the animus builds. And that's what we're seeing now."

Also: Guess we can all see why Chris Rock decided he hates that joke.

A lot of online "feminism" is about how much men suck, which just feels like an incel mindset for women.

One reason I think Libertarians are off is zoning laws. It's really nice to have the community decide together what's allowed to go where instead of a clusterf*ck of chaos. I mean, have you been to Albuquerque?

@dnapway It's like watching Joe Rogan or Tucker Carlson turn on Trump. Yeah, sure...of course. But YOU'RE THE ONE WHO GOT US HERE. Better late than never, I guess. Would love to hear him define what "be better" means too. Easy to talk in the abstract, tough to actually sacrifice anything.

@sweeenie ChatGPT's reply: NYC's housing affordability crisis has multiple causes. The data do not show that tens of thousands of apartments are simply sitting empty because of rent regulation. Nor is there evidence that abolishing rent regulation would make NYC affordable in 12 months.

There's an AI in Dubai. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

It upsets me how social media makes performers pretend they don't understand geography. "Doing shows in Portland & San Diego. Where should I perform in between?" Dude, ya got a team of reps and are basically a successful media entrepreneur. Surely you know how Google Maps works.

The least American thing ever: The "happiness satiation" theory (from Daniel Kahneman and Angus Deaton). Emotional well-being (day-to-day happiness) increases with income but plateaus at an annual salary of $75,000. Above this, more money no longer improves daily happiness.

Interesting to watch early stage enshittification of Partiful. It's great at first and then slowly gets "overpopulated" and you're invited to too much and the noise makes it worthless.
