This ain’t good, in case anyone was wondering. Like really really bad.

I wonder what ever happened to those 22 tankers with their lights turned off?
Josh is right. When we refer to our work – whatever it may be – as “content”, we may as well be saying “garbage”. It reduces the important and the beautiful to a base level of Gallagher smashing a watermelon. And when that perception becomes acceptable, AI slop slides right in to take over.
Josh Gondelman@joshgondelman.bsky.social · 2mo agoMy crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.
Started interacting with Talking Points Memo during the 2004 presidential campaign. Back then, it was mostly @joshtpm.bsky.social posting videos of himself explaining complex issues so succinctly that it kinda blew my mind. Later, TPM would introduce me to the wring of @gregsargent.bsky.social …

Don’t know what I can add to this. It speaks for itself.

Kuwait's air defense system, which it buys from US companies, shot down 3 American planes. My tax dollars just shot down my tax dollars.
Well, this makes sense. I had almost forgotten about the Boogaloo boys, and here they are as employees of ICE. What a non-surprise.
Taylor Nichols, MD MS@tnicholsmd.com · 6mo agoFrom a Reddit post about ICE in LA. Wearing a Hawaiian shirt under their police vest is a very intentional choice. This seems like a Boogaloo boy who is also a thug agent of the state. LA friends - be careful out there and make sure folks are aware of what is happening.
It’s pretty clear that the country has to extricate itself and all its business from Elon Musk, and throw him to the wolves of European prosecution. His tentacles run extraordinarily deep, so I’m not exactly sure how that would happen, but it has to in order for the US to survive.
Sure are waves of brand new accounts trying to follow me recently.
@schumer.senate.gov The Republican president has declared war on the United States. This is the biggest, most fundamental crisis that the country has faced since 1861. If for some reason you focus on “affordability” in 2026, then you’re blind, Mr. Magoo. And you should be nowhere near leadership.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 7mo agoSchumer as a major American metro is being brutally occupied by Trump goons: "The affordability crisis will be our focus throughout 2026 because that's what the American people are demanding"

Very, very important thread. Dealing with Stephen Miller is an exceptionally distasteful endeavor, but we need to understand him in order to burn this thinking on the trash heap of history.
Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 8mo agoStephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety. We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read: newrepublic.com/article/2041...
