4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day. On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

"why are these future broodmares kicking their handlers and bolting out of the barnyard and down the road, chasing a future where they can take the bit out of their mouths and be people" an unfathomable mystery

More than half of young adult women who grew up as Latter-day Saints have now left the church. Many are reacting against politics, purity culture and powerlessness.

someone recorded the twin peaks OST on a reel, spliced the tape, made loops and messed with them until this album was born. been up all week and only has 2,000 views. lends itself to my admittedly self-serving theory that the best stuff on youtube isn't being seen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PL7J...

Enjoyed this Esquire feature on the Churchwell brothers. IMO, they are among the last elegantly dressed men in the United States. Notably, neither are "fashion influencers." They are both distinguished cardiologists with great taste and a lifetime relationship with the same tailor.

Somehow things that would have been a background gag in a Verhoeven movie are now just real

I think there's two main drivers of this: A desperate working class that sees the rich make money out of thin air/cheating, and then fall for the idea they can do the same via speculative "investment" of corporate products And, of course, consumerism marketed as "investment" towards the first

Why? Why must everything we enjoy be sealed up with a "grade"? I get baseball cards being put in plastic because you can still enjoy both sides of the card. But a Blu-ray?

A new investigation reveals that at least 50 police officers from all over the U.S. have been caught abusing their access to Flock's automatic license plate reader database, including to stalk women. This is just one of the many reasons to get these creepy cameras off our streets.

ACLU of Wisconsin@acluofwi.bsky.social · yesterday

Wisconsin is making national news because so many police officers have been charged or convicted with using the Flock surveillance network to stalk people. https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/08/02/how-police-officers-used-vast-network-cameras-spy-their-exes/

That doesn't work, because it hits the same problem as parking in Amsterdam: if you're rich enough you can just buy your way out of the problem. Amsterdam's still choked with cars and making SUVs more expensive just makes them more of a status symbol. They need to be banned, not just taxed.

Scale taxes and registration off fuel efficiency and you have a pile of good secondary effects.

The thing about all this is that there is a market for his fabulism, a market for the racists hunting Black faculty, a market for the play-by-play of racists vs Cambridge, and so on, and they are all bigger than the market for serious work about race and racism.

everything is speculation now. everyone who threw out or gave away their pokemon cards or video games from 30 years ago has been driven mad by the thought that they could have made upwards of several hundred dollars off them

I like men like I like the Mona Lisa: aesthetically, from twenty feet away, behind glass and with an army of people between me and them

We're number one! Seriously the alcohol problem in WI is wild. The college students here are juvenile alcoholics and binge drink insane amounts multiple times a week.

Wisconsin continues to ASTOUND me (Those 🟢 areas are universally irredeemable btw)

Wait, hold up, One Night Only, the rom-com set in a dystopian society where pre-martial sex is outlawed 364 days a year, ends with a character saying “Maybe the fascists were right about this”? Christ on a bike. Well, that killed any interest stone dead.

I am going to be spending the rest of my day and possibly my week thinking about "Werner the Herzog" and quite frankly it's the last thing I needed

I can't wait for Worm to get popular and Amy Discourse to go mainstream. Litany against Amy I must not Amy Discourse Amy Discourse is the mind-killer. Amy Discourse is the little-death that brings total obliteration. [...] When the Amy Discourse has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

One thing that makes me feel insane is that the primary use of AI is to mass produce the pornography that they are trying to make it illegal for humans to make. But also, the AI isn't even good at it. None of it is hot!

📚 The cultures most at risk of vanishing are often created and sustained by communities with the fewest resources. In WHAT WE'VE LEARNED, Alice Bridgwood reflects on everyday archives like handwritten cookbooks & zines. 🎧 Listen to Future Knowledge: futureknowledge.transistor.fm/episodes/van... 🧵

Gonna be blunt, the reason I complain about AI so much is because it's made so much extra work for me, as I'm inundated with AI slopware games that I have to sort through and filter out, if this garbage tech ceased to exist tomorrow, it would be an immediate ease of that workload.

If we want good game genre names we need to rebuild a world where the people who drive the vocabulary of games aren't hordes of terminally online consumers. Crowdsourcing is how you get Boaty McBoatface, the game genre.
