Excitable technologist. Eat, drink, and read depressing literature. Opinions my own.

I'll post my 2023 Video Games list soon. But first, a special shout-out to Cracking the Cryptic (@crypticcracking).

CtC dramatically expanded and elevated the logic puzzle community, attracting a new generation of creators that is basically producing a golden age of puzzles.

@col_mobius You and me both

Blockchain exists since 15 years now. It is no longer possible to say that it is an immature technology and we're still experimenting with it. Show me a compelling use case for it or please let's finally admit that it is a waste of time, energy and money and move forward.

Fantastic news!

Nope, def not even close. This feels like a *way* smaller correction than the sweeping disaster of the dot-com bubble burst.

One upside of Twitter is I get to laugh extra hard the next time I hear someone say “government should be run like a business”

Between the crypto crash, Elon being Elon, and the failed Red Wave, it seems like a bad week to be a Guy Who Sucks

The entire premise of the tech industry is dudes who think they can Do Better™️ with their revolutionary techniques of ignoring all field experts, causing a huge mess, and then proceeding to make a slight variation of what already existed in the first place

“We have interfered, are interfering and will continue to interfere.”

Russian entrepreneur Yevgeny Prigozhin admitted he interfered in U.S. elections and says he will continue to do so — for the first time confirming accusations he's rejected for years. https://t.co/ryDxwy9mER

remember that you are an out of touch snooty cosmopolitan elitist if you dare to think that the people in the red area deserve to have their votes count the same as everyone else, but calling everyone in the red area a degenerate subhuman is Just Telling It Like It Is.

Good visual description of why every Dem admin has to start with a recovery package

[Existential Comics (find me on bluesky) @existentialcoms]

Conservatives genuinely seem to think freedom of speech is when you pay billionaires for the privilege of them telling you what you can and cannot say.

Gonna keep sharing this: the majority of Asian Americans support race conscious admissions. There are those in EVERY community that are willing to be used by the powers that be, to maintain the status quo. They do not represent most of us! #NotYourWedge

[b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie]

the main effect of dropping the pretense has not been that people recoil in horror but that they revel in the ability to live vicariously through expressions of base cruelty and malice

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

Good long thread on the way 2000 Miles totally fails - and in some ways doesn't even try - to prove its outlandish claims about voter fraud.

The fact that anyone still takes True the Vote and D'Souza seriously is testament to how impervious ppl can be to reality.

[Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis @RevJacquiLewis]

Folks tried to kidnap Michigan’s Governor. One of our major parties now openly excuses a violent coup attempt. Someone just tried to kill the Speaker of the House.

That’s where we’re at: Stark fascism and spiraling political violence. Vote like hell while we can.
