Did we break it? Yes. Can we fix it? Signs point to “not likely.”

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

Mark my words: Your personal health, employment and tax information is being stolen from the Federal government in order for Elon Musk to build X into his massive "everything" platform, where your most private information will be leveraged to drag you into the platform and keep you there.

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all

Anyone interested in having that conversation about limiting executive power yet?

I’m really overthinking the process of not overthinking things.

The secret to knocking out a task you don’t want to do is finding more urgent task you want to do even less. The escalation of procrastination fallback.

Utterly horrific victimization. People should know.

Okay, I have a Bluesky presence, but I think popping from network to network as the company leadership morphs from reckless to disappointing to dangerous is a losing battle. The people make the community and I lose track of good folks with every jump.

I was pretty neutral about the food on my international Lufthansa flight, then they handed out full-size bags of Haribo gummy bears as a snack and now I’m a customer for life. You never know where you brand wins will appear.

I think they only make one vehicle at this point, but woof. Feels like it’s trying to occupy a liminal space.

Forcing Google to spin off the third-best browser on my computer isn’t going to fix much.

This CAPTCHA. I guess AI gatekeeping to keep out other AI’s but allow humans is only going to get more challenging. It might be time for a new model.

Remember when everyone used to make fun of social media platforms filled with boring, navel-gazing posts like “I ate a sandwich today”?

Maybe those were the good old days.

The difference between “a new low” and “rock bottom” can only be established in hindsight.
