My brain keeps trying to brew up a blog post about the relationship between anti-intellectualism, fascism, and AI fanaticism.

And the sad thing is that I immediately thought about how posting such a thing would affect my current and future employability. A sure sign that Things Are Fine.

(If you know of articles touching on the above, please feel free to reply w/ links here.)

#VoteBlueNoMatterWho has been a disaster of a strategy, discouraging voters from paying attention, and running cover for the #DNC to primary viable progressive candidates in favor of centrists who will vote with the GOP whenever we're in danger of achieving progress.

Even when #Democrats win, they lose because they bankroll obstructionists.

Threads targets podcasters with new features:

"Meta explained it’s interested in the podcast community because it sees the potential in becoming the de facto place for people to talk about shows and engage with creators."

Wow, sounds like the beginnings of the same strategy that almost killed news blogs. If TechCrunch is only willing to repeat Meta’s press releases, and not contextualize the claims with Meta’s ... https://micro.fromjason.xyz/2025/11/11/threads-targets-podcasters-with-new.html

it's SO fucking cold here now and we still don't dare use the fire because of the risk of CO poisoning 😭😭😭😭

using little space heaters to warm our bedrooms cause it's all we have but it's so cold outside our rooms and it's so expensive to heat this way and i don't want the little funds we've got so far to keep going on huge electric bills - we NEED to get out of here before this gets worse 😭😭😭😭😭

@onekind I remember @jwz saying that at some point: if you’re a person who consciously selects the music you want to listen to, you’re in a tiny minority. I really didn’t want to believe it but this is the roaring twenties and everything fucking sucks so why not that, too

Eight of the most corrupt US senators, who helped Trump try to overturn the 2020 election and got away with it, who are now taking food out of the mouths of the poorest and hungriest of their constituents, have found a sleazy and unprecedented trick to hand themselves $500,000 each in taxpayer money. https://mas.to/@tpm%5Frss%5Fbot/115531895091616066

The Matrix was supposed to be green-ish, but it's been made when the film industry was switching from analog to digital, so all the (re)released versions look different.

Noodle made a charming documentary about losing sanity trying to find the "correct" green:

The problem with Linux is it doesn't come preinstalled out of most stores, and even when it is, the lack of uninstallable bloat gives the system an alien feeling when Windows users try it.

Where's my McAfee frew trial? Where's the pointless stock ticker and ads on the lock screen?!

The whole Linux experience is new and just plain scary!!
