Lots of people think Taylor Lorenz is paid off by social media but I think the relationship is closer to a Chaos cultist: she worships Phone, works tirelessly to spread the influence of Phone and weaken the veil between the real world and it’s domain, and in exchange she is given boons by it.

Can social media be addictive? @taylorlorenz.bsky.social says no. “You wanting to communicate and chat with your friends every day is not an addiction,” says Lorenz. “And to frame it that way is incredibly harmful and anti-science.”

coming back to bluesky has been a breath of fresh air. for a while there before I got off, the deranged weirdo population of Twitter had become entirely "a guy is doing gooner race science on SpongeBob" whereas bluesky has the 2010s era "a person enthusiastically refusing to read is very mad at you"

It's a little weird how, on a website of Politics Enthusiasts, we regularly have discourse driven entirely by people inexplicably deciding that the only politicians that tell the truth about their feelings are underdog Democrats ducking a controversial issue

CALL??? WELL CALL 📞 UP THE GOLDEN BEARS THEY WON.

losing my mind. he's talking about sex, not gender, and specifically a comment he made in 2021 saying that the four most common intersex chromosomal variations (X, XXY, XYY, XXXY) are recognized as separate sexes by some scientists. He is not calling transgender people genetic abnormalities.

If you downgrade the ai doomer scenario from "AI nukes everyone" to "1000s of malicious AI agents escape containment and wreck our ability to use networked computers over the course of a few weeks, killing hundreds of millions of people from supply and electricity disruption" 10% seems reasonable

a whole bunch of you do not understand this place is like 27 standard deviations beyond the US electorate and poast accordingly

I’ve had a premonition of a thousand annoying takes First off, Talarico has permission to say any goddamn thing he wants to beat Paxton, it ain’t a lie if you tell it to a hog Second, this is a non-statement unless you believe trans girls playing sports endangers safety or fairness

we've been at tank bottoms for literally weeks now and apparently that doesn't matter, because as we've now pretty conclusively established: donald trump is the world's specialest boy and it can only good happen

not to push back on the narrative a bit but Arday would have been like a 3 day story if he had merely fabricated all of his research, the story was kept alive by Arday having also told approximately 9 billion bonkers lies about every aspect of his life.

The most important thing about the data center backlash is that, in a time of intense polarization and micro-movements, it is astonishingly large—such a big tent mass politics that any time you try and an atomize or explain it you end up diminishing it. nytimes.com/2026/08/31/opi…

figure since we are already dunking on this wildly baseless attack I'd mention that "is bad to trans women" is often employed against anyone, including trans women, for the crime of disagreeing on Bluesky, even if you didn't know the person was trans.

I would say that of the things that ‘woke 1’ actually resulted in being made into policy this might legitimately be one of the worst

Hard to argue with the first-hand experience of a UC math professor that the system made a bad mistake by banning the use of standardized math tests in admissions. sfstandard.com/opinion/2026...

it seems the biggest takeaway from the Arday situation for liberal institutions is that if Cambridge hadn't covered for him when multiple other professors brought proof of plagerism back in 2023, the story wouldn't have been broken by right wing freaks on a racism substack

It is worth noting that $4.6 million was spent on pro-Hong TV slots, the money was just spent by Republicans who thought she'd be a lot easier to beat lol

Micah@rincewind.run · last mo.

final primary thoughts: * the polls didn’t miss on Hong so much as they missed on Crowley consolidating * Hong should have run TV ads * Crowley will be Fine, he’s going to be limited by the legislature regardless * Flanagan winning in a blowout is a much more important result for progressives

I for one think it's awesome that polling cant even get close if a race is contentious. lets us have our discourse cake and eat it too. This woke 1 thing has been great, and now we get to do the other side of the debate.
