So, do we get a Tig Notaro Joker now?

Bundeskanzler Merz und Innenminister Dobrinth bekunden ihr Entsetzen zum CSD Anschlag. Das wäre in normalen Zeiten angemessen. Wir leben jedoch in Zeiten der Brandstifter. Dobrinth, der Listen queerer Menschen anlegen will, Merz der von Zirkus sprechend die Regenbogenfarben entfernen ließ. Heuchler.

Wrote an 8000 word piece artfully framing ai data centers as the subprime mortgages of AI, only for Jim Cramer to outdo me by saying that he “likes data centers so much he wished he lived in one”

"Cognitive surrender" is a fascinating concept to think about the impact of AI as it exists under reactionary tech Preventing people from thinking for themselves and imagining different worlds is a godsend for authoritarians thenextweb.com/news/wharton...

There’s a lot of great stuff on substack that I’ll miss but COME ON PEOPLE

Private equity funds control more than $9.4 trillion in assets, including 11,500 companies that employ more than 11 million American workers. It is one of the most ruthlessly extractive, corrosive forces in modern history, so why does hating it feel like such a niche grievance?

Fueled by private equity investments, Lucky Strike Entertainment went on a buying spree and now owns more than 1 in 10 bowling alleys in the U.S. Bowlers say rising costs are making the middle-class activity unaffordable. NBC News’ Shannon Pettypiece reports from Wichita, Kansas.

This will never not make me smile.

People sometimes are incredibly cool and we should remember this and aspire toward it and fill up feeds and media with it as an elixir

Good morning and welcome to gay wrath month

Considering to leave my booked seat on the train even if it might mean sitting on the floor. It could save the lives of several teenagers.

yes, americans, europeans absolutely love dying in heat waves, that's why we don't have a/c, you should definitely post this take a thousand more times

Eine #Hitzewelle mit über 40 Grad im Juni - und 94 Milliarden Gewinn, die die größten fossilen Energiekonzerne dieses Jahr einfahren. Ich finde, beiden Zahlen gehören zusammen. Und sie machen deutlich: wir brauchen eine #Übergewinnsteuer - für einen schnelleren Umstieg auf Erneuerbare Energien.
