Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

It's fitting that the cover on AI mindlessly apes an earlier creation and also displaces workers while elevating Silicon Valley plutocrats.

This 5 years of social media for an ESTA thing isn’t new. I had to provide mine over the summer when I was planning a work trip

I un-RT and unliked a lot of historical Tw*tter stuff

🎵I bet that you'd look good in a bookstore, I don't know if you're looking for a romance, I don't know what you're looking for.

I said, I bet that you look good in a bookstore, looking for a book like "I Robot", or "1984".

Or "1984".🎵

If this goes thru it will accelerate Hollywood’s precipitous decline. Thousands laid off. Creatives w/fewer studios willing to bid on projects. Fewer choices of what to watch for consumers. Possibly a death blow for theatrical filmgoing. Just terrible news all around

I feel like this was the greatest celebrity post of all time because you initially want to make fun of it because we’re all irony poisoned jerks but the sheer scale of human compassion overwhelms it and you end up going yes Vincent I also want to help a pig see the stars for the first time

A lot of assumptions, here. Little evidence this was an assassination attempt rather than just being provocative, as seen in many territories recently
It sure looks like Russian intelligence attempted to use military drones to assassinate the President of Ukraine inside an EU country.

Looking forward to more thoughts from Belgium on why freezing Russian assets is an escalatory move that might compromise the peace process.

The traffic went to the adjacent bridges, it was noticeable at the time
Really interesting post about Hammersmith Bridge, which has been closed since 2019, a presumed “loss” of 25,000 daily car trips. “The local economy has adapted, air quality has improved, and overall traffic congestion has lessened.” [nickmaini.substack.com]
