I don't mean to be divisive but to call it a computer's "natural scrolling"--which mimics the despicable Phone--and then to make it default? An outrage. Swiping down should scroll down, as was true since the dawn of time on the noble mouse scroll wheel

once we get the culture to figure out that atproto means you can adopt new apps without selling your soul to their creators we're going to see an *explosion* of new (and old!) forms of doing shit together on the internet

I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

Look, I know this weaponization of male academic interest is the oldest story in the book, but it’s just so, so pernicious. It’s awful to the women directly involved, but it’s also awful to *all* women in the academy, who have to live in its shadow all the time.

If you have to accept that greed is human nature and we should organise around it, you also have to accept that people begging for food wanting to set fire to trillionaires is also human nature.

Mamdani is the most Trumpian politician the Dems have in the sense that his supporters will give zero shits what the beltway pages write about him and probably see it as success whenever they complain about him, I don't think the press will be very influential re public perception of his tenure
Mamdani is in a no win situation. The press in NYC will respond angrily if he gets his proposals they hate passed. Or, they will call him a failure, if he doesn't get the proposals they hate passed.
If he keeps his organizers energized, he can power through this.
