The meta glasses: bad

Isaiah Bishop@isaiahbishop.bsky.social · 5h ago

Yup! Tons of info you can pull out. And id imagine theyll mostly want it for advertising but surely theyll be using this to just build a massive highly detailed db of where people live and what theyre up to

If someone is nice and helpful to you in private but mean to you in public, which one is real?

Looks like a long way out, but it’s not, really. They should have just kept going, they’d get to the hotel where the Algerians stayed in about five minutes

Big bus stuck (Near Lawrence KS, but nowhere near any bus route that I'm aware of)

Imagining feeding fable so much medieval information that its chain of thought starts sounding like Canterbury Tales

“actually live”

Well, that's a new one. "College kids should be able to vote to overcome the wishes of the people who actually live in the place where they go to school"

The Whole Foods has a fancy chocolate bar on clearance for a buck fifty and I fear that I have spoiled my kid for normie chocolate

@not-mad-guy.bsky.social you watching the Malawi game?

When I log back in on primary night

I have several friends who moved from academia (mostly scientists) into corporate life in the US or UK and every single one of them found corporate life superior in management, benefits, treatment of staff, and attitudes toward work.

Every time I read a “academia is uniquely bad” essay I think about my wife’s twenty years in corporate America.

Honestly I think he should have talked more about sunscreen, anything but social media meta

Saw a “no data centers in Hunt County” yard sign this morning. The backlash is real

talked to some family members of a currently deployed service member yesterday. They were not very happy about the way things are going!

wrote about data center protests as a kind of blowback: silicon valley's own tools and ideologies coming back to bite it in the ass www.patreon.com/MaxRead/post...

Really hitting the exclamation marks hard today

If we don’t want boys reading Heinlein, we need Heinlein alternatives!

The gymnastics and track and field are the really crazy points here - in any given year, you can see the exact same athletes who will be there in LA, for so much less money!

Prices for tickets to the 2028 Los Angeles Games are the highest in Olympic history. In many cases, tickets are more than twice as expensive as an equivalent ticket at the 2024 Paris Olympics: nyti.ms/4w4h0Hf

Even giving credence to the “widely calling” part, “worst job market in years” is like the job posting that’s “just minutes from Big 10 football” - a vagueness in expression to make a narrative. How many years? How many minutes? Which football team?

bendwalsh.bsky.social@bendwalsh.bsky.social · last wk.

"they’re entering what’s widely called the worst job market in years" is such a disingenuous, data free way to frame this that a few sentences later its backed up by the statement "one viral meme..." www.nytimes.com/2026/07/23/o...

I’m hearing that this is a real software engineering thing, and particularly popular within Amazon. The more you know!

Code assistant keeps saying “blast radius”. It’s kind of off-putting!

“So… why are you here?” I was in my late 20’s, trying to get a regular physical because I heard it was a thing people should do. Didn’t get another one for a full five years, it was so off-putting

A question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"

Now that’s what I call opposition research

NEW: Regarding the claims that Rep. Max Miller withheld his toddler's "blue bunny," I have some new screenshots suggesting there was a pattern of Miller not giving the bunny back. There were pleas from multiple people on multiple dates. (Thread: 1/8)

The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor are the thumbs with posting

If the lack of conservative voices on bsky leads to left-Iiberal conflict, could the same dynamic be at play in the other place?

huck mason@tylerhuckabee.bsky.social · last wk.

for reasons that only make sense if you're insane, a TPUSA kid complaining about burrito costs on xitter has the GOP's biggest divas going for each other's throats.

Juro que tem dias que eu acordo pensando nisso aqui:

I think there’s a reluctance to talk about one’s own success and good fortune here, at the least

When you stayed up late rereading “The Moon is a Harsh Mistress”

George Pearkes@peark.es · last wk.

Elon is talking about using robots to build a mass accelerator on the moon in support of an economy 1000x to 1 million times the current earth economy. It's a bad sci fi novel not an earnings call.

Gotta love the “or stocks” part. Like Gemini realized its first answer was nuts so it tried to wedge in a better one.

King of the Hill is a good show, but a good chunk of North Texas (and America) is a guy who looks like Kahn but sounds like Hank

america's super power is that a sikh guy can move to america, put on an american flag snap up button down and cowboy hat on top of his dastar and say god bless america and a chud will high five him and say hell yeah brotherrr!!!
