when i found out that Sam Hyde is a massive Prefab Sprout fan it kind of destroyed me for a while

Google's entire business model has been monetizing other people's work and you don't really have an option to tell Google to not index your website because there's no other way for people to find your content, now they decided they no longer want to share traffic with you, and they simply steal the entire content instead of just monetizing it.

This shouldn't be legal, it is the textbook definition of monopoly and extortion, but I guess it is allowed when you have infinite money.

the "industrial revolution" brought enormous wealth for industrialists & in its early decades wrought enormous devastation on the landscape & used/used up human beings mercilessly; to claim that AI is the new Industrial Revolution to those likely to be swallowed up or discarded by this "revolution" was not a strategic move. but maybe the commencement speaker was going to go further, & suggest pathways for graduates in 2026? I would have liked to hear about these & possibly so would the graduates. (one wonders how the speaker continued.)

In China, boomers have public spaces to dance like this every single day, helping them stay healthy, active and socially connected. In the US, opportunities are far and few between. For many, this is their only outlet :(

3 years ago, East Palestine, Ohio was covered in toxic fallout. They hoped you’d forget. Here’s an update:

-Settlement money is finally trickling out
-Residents had to fight to challenge federal case
-Independent tests still don’t match official claims
-Norfolk Southern is funding community rebuilds

The story didn’t end. It just faded from your feed.

my theory is what the workers actually yearn for is collective ownership of the means of production, but capitalism robs them of the words to describe that feeling and replaces them with "I want to start my own business"

this year at gdc, the yerba buena gardens, a space where developers have congregated for well over a decade, has been taken over by the conference and spends part of the day fenced off. developers are upset not just about the clunkiness of it all, but what it represents

NEW: It's been more than a week since Israeli settlers murdered Nasrallah Abu Siyam, a Pennsylvania citizen, in the West Bank. So why hasn't Gov. Josh Shapiro said a word about his constituent's death? 🔗

“Just cook at home, it’s so much easier and cheaper than doordashing!” My brother in Christ, I do not just casually have 15 nutria hindquarters and 2 cups of crawfish sitting around 🙄

[Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh 🗞 @PGHGuild]

Not even this U.S. Supreme Court was willing to bail the @pittsburghPG out of its violations of labor law. So we got ushered into a meeting, and shown a 2:30 recorded video announcing the paper will close 5/3.

Mad Men S1-S4 (2007-2010)

Rare for me to do TV, but it took over much of my movie watching past summer. I feel so drawn in by the writing being the engine of the series, characters bouncing off the plot at such specific angles. Great to just watch a smoothly travelling vehicle.

Angel's Egg (1985)

Blame it on the heat of the Dolby audio, but few sounds are as striking as the god-ship's scream. Both opaque and focused, gentle and gigantic, the film is unique in ways that are hard to even describe.
