I canceled Amazon Prime a few months ago, but I finally got around to canceling all my subscribe & saves this morning. ✅✅✅ Feels GREAT. Highly recommended.

They wanted to save us from a dark AI future. Then six people were killed How a group of Silicon Valley math prodigies, AI researchers and internet burnouts descended into an alleged violent cult

If you're into cult documentaries, this longread from @theguardian.com is for you: www.theguardian.com/global/ng-in...

Bezos' eye 🤣

Oh nooooooo

love it!! and as an added bonus, Hello Meteor does background music for his partner's guided meditation.... also awesome! rea.earth

Came here to see if Hello Meteor was going to get me mentioned. So prolific, too... seems like there's a couple new albums every year?

Come early, leave early: a gen X dance party that ends at 10pm is taking off across the US Founded in Chicago by two friends in their 40s, Earlybirds Club gives people an opportunity to let loose without interfering with responsibilities

I deeply approve of this idea: www.theguardian.com/culture/2025...

And shout-out to @clivethompson.bsky.social for reminding me that I've been meaning to get a fresh place to write for a few months. Beehive is like Substack but without the Nazi problem 😬

You know we have an existential crisis when the security at the #Grammy's is more effective than at offices of the federal government

So much compassion for y'all. My most recent book came out in June 2020 and... yeah, that was also a reeeeal bad time for a book release. (Unless you wrote about race or epidemiology!)

We all feel sad and alone and we are right to be sad but we are NOT alone

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

So much this. Local, in-person community work is the theme of the next 4 years for me.

this makes my old gen X heart so happy ... not that we are where we're at, but that rebellious indie writing might be a way to fight it.
