Virtual Reality Is the Rich White Kid of Technology
For decades, VR has failed to live up to expectations. Yet somehow, it keeps receiving more chances and more resources.

Unfortunately we might need to stick with white guys just for now, temporarily. Just to be safe. There are still left leaning voters that will only vote for men, and likely only white too.

I wish that dems would figure this shit out. Don't bother trying to get conservative voters, the current admin is exactly what they want (just nicer/more polite).
Meanwhile there is an even larger pool of nonvoters who they could be engaging and working on driving to the polls.

Win over Trump Voters!? Please. Just get the folks who voted for Biden and then didn't show up in 2024 to show up again. It's as if they didn't really feel excited to vote for some 'Republican Lite' policies...crazy.

I’m not political strategist but I’d advise winning over your own parties base before saying I’m going to win the oppositions.

Can someone tell these guys (these politicians and the pundits who boost them) that it is not November 2024 anymore? Abigail Spanberger, Mikie Sherrill, Zohran Mandani, and Aftyn Behn all likely won some Trump voters/2024 skippers. Update the talking points! 2028 is not only for white guys.

Don't let anyone — not even the US Secretary of State — tell you that the European Commission's €120 million enforcement against Elon Musk’s X under the Digital Service Act is about censorship, writes Daphne Keller. It’s just the EU enforcing some normal, boring requirements of its law, she says.

If Netflix decides to release part 2 of The Nevers, then the Warner Bros/Discovery acquisition is good.
If it doesn’t, then the acquisition is bad.

For the first ~6 years of its existence, the big question around crypto currency was “what’s the use case”— @kashhill.bsky.social had a great 2013 “living on bitcoin” story that was defining.
But for the last year the answer has been clear: crypto’s best use case is fraud & political corruption

The thing to understand about all these network states is:
(1) they require a permanent underclass to do all the labor that keeps cities functional,
(2) they have no answers to how or why free people en masse would sign up to be that permanent underclass
And
(3) that’s because they want slaves.
