Is Bluesky kind of a bubble? Yes. Is X *very much* a bubble? Oh hell yes. Is -- wait for it -- LinkedIn? To a degree that would blow your mind, if you spent enough time there. There never has been a single online "town square" -- they all drift toward certain norms.

The results seem to strengthen the case that these systems rely on elaborate pattern-matching rather than the kind of systematic reasoning their marketing might suggest.

Watching the NYC mayoral debate from last night this morning and ... in addition to all the other major problems with him, it is obvious Cuomo doesn't even LIKE New York City.

This is probably the best feature I've read all year—an incredible feat of reporting, impeccably structured, and absolutely ecstatic and hilarious on a line level.

NEW: There is a fascinating political drama unfolding right now at Indian Creek Village, the small gated island known as the “Billionaire Bunker,” home to the likes of Jeff Bezos, Tom Brady and Ivanka Trump. It is a saga revolving around the island's 💩 THREAD (1/8) www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/u...

There’s a 3D-printable mouse attachment for the Switch 2 Joy-Con mouse mode and it’s a game changer for games like Cyberpunk.

There is a lot of public support for deporting criminals, but there is effectively *none* for everybody else, which is the vast majority of immigrants. If you're married to a citizen, 95% of respondents support you staying here. www.cnn.com/2025/06/11/p...

One last cry before I zoot: I lost faith in people after Trump won. But bargaining this union contract, I’ve witnessed how good people can be when we fight for each other. My Verge and @voxmediaunion.bsky.social colleagues have restored my faith in ppl. I am forever grateful to them for that.

"Strong families don’t just happen. Policymakers like me and my colleagues need to create the space to support them by passing strong parental leave policies," @gomez.house.gov writes in Post Letters. wapo.st/3HE1ZIS

Trump's intervention will force state officials to scrap much of the preparation they did over the last couple of years.

Amazon says its ads haven't driven away subscribers, which means the company will, in all likelihood, continue to push the limits of its user base.

goddamn this week has taken it out of me

For now, writing "no AI resurrections" into a will remains a complicated process.

The quantified effect of contract bargaining for @voxmediaunion.bsky.social on the body. I have a 26-hour sleep debt right now for the week. It was so fucking worth it. Ok I’m gonna try and take some melatonin to cancel out the adrenaline now tho thx bye 👋🏼

A number of SaaS vendors are trying to become search aggregators, drinking the firehose of all information in your apps in order to build a central index. Glean, Atlassian Rovo, Dropbox Dash, etc. Today, Slack cut them off: www.computerworld.com/article/4005... 1/3

over on X there's this new class of what I might call "AI grifters" who keep amping up their rhetoric around how magical AI agents are and how genAI systems are going to replace all conventional software, and in particular enterprise software feels like another weird epiphenomenon of this moment

Another example of the uselessness of vast wealth. Did Trump need a $55 million birthday party with jets and tanks and fancy costumes? A piñata and some beer maybe a screening of Patton would have been more appropriate.

"The wild card in this conflict is that the United States, Israel’s superpower ally, is for now standing on the sidelines," David Ignatius writes. "Rarely has a U.S. secretary of state made such a cold-blooded statement of nonalignment as Marco Rubio’s in the opening hours of the attack."

Feels good to go into the weekend with this tentative agreement on a new Vox Media Union contract. Proud of everyone who helped make this happen!

“I was of the opinion,” Carroll said, “that a person who doesn’t know jack shit about the department actually could be beneficial given the ability to build a team that knows what they’re doing.”

“Everyday people standing between authoritarianism and our freedom scare the administration. They reveal the greatest informal mechanism for democratic enforcement: not kings, not former presidents, but the power of the people.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/o...

i love this *so much*

I feel like you could avert a surprising amount of chatbot delusion damage by making "periodically accuse the bot of lying and see if it comes clean" common wisdom, at least until the response gets trained out in alignment

"Our men’s team actually is the underdog all Americans pretend to be, but even better — because it’s one that is rising in talent and has all of our resources at its back," @williamfleitch.bsky.social writes. wapo.st/4nfs7u2

It's gotta be when @robertpicardo.bsky.social asked me where the tortillas were at a taco buffet on a cruise ship. (I knew and told him, making me relieved that I hadn't let down Coach Cutlip.)

"Throughout the 2024 campaign, Trump played shamelessly on public anxieties about the border. Some of his arguments, such as claims that hungry migrants were eating pets, were grotesque," David Ignatius writes. "But Biden and Kamala Harris didn’t have good answers, other than indignation."
