you can tell Wired has been doing good journalism lately because there's been increased whining by the extraction class about how Wired mysteriously changed in the decade since tech titans fully revealed themselves as sociopaths

from this recent Dorsey interview:

How bad’s it gotten? I just strummed uke for like 15 minutes unironically.

Don’t make me get out the ganjo.

Van Halen’s no-brown-M&Ms clause was an excellent way to expose corner-cutting promoters (β€œthe way you do anything is the way you do everything”)… but it also meant knowing that all of their M&Ms had been touched.

For the last decade, whenever pressed for somethingβ€”anythingβ€”positive about Agent Orange, my sole concession was that at least he wasn't a hawk. Now that entire bingo card's blacked out.

Apple News promotes left-leaning media outlets β€” as it shuts out conservative sites entirely: study Apple’s popular news aggregation app displayed a clear bias against right-leaning outlets in January – and media watchdogs say it’s part of a long-running effort by the company’s editorial team to …

Oh, so Apple News promotes accuracy-leaning media outlets? Got it.

graphic design for video, print, and web, including memes

Just remembered this suggestion, having since generated a huge gallery of recasts, most starring my stunt double. Scroll halfway down the page and brace for giggles.

I think I'm enjoying the olympics so much because I can unabashedly cheer on Team USA instead of apologizing for our country like I've spent most of the last decade.

It's complex because they're asking to use something that isn't theirs, on an international scale, in many possible iterations. Tech has compounded this, but so have the assumptions of consumers for whom music no longer has monetary value.

I feel lingering guilt over having photoshopped a Winger t-shirt onto an old friend post-mortem. Too soon. Buuuuut still accurate in spirit.

I've only fan-remastered two albums for personal enjoyment: 5150 and OU812, desperate to extract some bass.

Looks like this is enhanced video rather than 16mm film, but still, Live Without a Net was my guitar instruction video in the formative years, so any preservation is welcome.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

"But I didn't do that thing he said in the joke!"

That's part of what makes it a joke, not journalism.

In other news, a man from Nantucket was revealed to be of average endowment but superior flexibility.

In my youth I assumed fettuccine was pronounced like the Bon Jovi song "Bad Fettuccine," which still earworms whenever I see the word.

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.
