I think the biggest story is that Republicans are about to nominate an adjudicated rapist and fraud convicted of felony voter deception who is vowing to help hand Europe over to Putin. But history is conspiring to make sure that this goes unsaid.

"You might wonder why decades of low productivity growth and soaring VC wealth have only become a problem once the VCs start worrying about their investment portfolio. Please do not wonder about such things. Andreessen has no explanation, and likely would much rather you didn’t."

Just gonna re-up this piece I wrote last week for @techpolicypress.bsky.social. Andreessen’s entire political agenda is just “the government should help my investment portfolio by not investigating fraud.” What an empty husk of a man. www.techpolicy.press/the-little-t...

The “Little Tech Agenda” is Just Self-Serving Nonsense | TechPolicy.Presswww.techpolicy.press The “Little Tech Agenda” has nothing to do with innovation or technology. It’s just a VC wish list, writes Dave Karpf.

it's pretty simple - trump only trusts people who will debase themselves for him. vance was an anti trump "intellectual" a few years ago, and has gone full cringe to secure the VP spot

There’s a conversation about “techlash” happening on here right now, and it’s an interesting meme, mostly because it is as imaginary as “cancel culture”, and is contrived for the same reasons. (For context, I have been a multiple-time tech CEO & founder, leading companies with millions of users.) …

Really feels like the end of a chapter in SF tech, the twitter office was not only an anchor on the street, but an event space / magnet for other tech companies to be in the same area. www.sfchronicle.com/realestate/a...

Exclusive: Elon Musk’s X to sublease S.F. headquarters, tech company’s future in city unclearwww.sfchronicle.com In a Chronicle exclusive, Elon Musk will sublease X's San Francisco headquarters. The tech company’s future in the city is unclear.

If his team had allowed him to be in front of reporters asking hard questions like this for the last year we would be in a very different situation.

they made the emoji keyboard much bigger in the new ios beta and i hate it

is there any good method for upscaling images? lets say i've got 20,000 64x64 images that i'd like to scale up to 2x so they at least look nice on modern monitors. is there a tool that i could use to do this en masse?

reaching the stage of unemployment where i have the urge to start posting nudes here

whew someone just appeared on my scruff grid that has been using the same picture since i moved to SF (2011)

i haven't been looking so this is based on pure cold outreach, but the number of pure AI companies that have been reaching out to me about jobs has dropped over the last few weeks by a lot...

I'm a little more hopeful with the squad coming out behind Biden. Maybe they've been able to negotiate behind closed doors on concessions for things like adding to the Supreme Court which Biden has been unwilling to even discuss.

"Dr. Cannard made 10 visits in 2012 plus a family tour; four visits in 2013; and one in 2014. . . . Mr. Trump rescinded Mr. Obama’s voluntary White House visitors disclosure policy, so records are not available for his four years in office." NYT once again rewarding Republicans for their perfidy

Breaking News: A Parkinson’s expert visited the White House eight times in eight months from last summer through this spring, according to official visitor logs. The administration has said that President Biden has no signs of the disease.

Now everyone--The Times and, sorry to say, MSNBC--is noting every missed syllable. The man has a stutter. I don't stutter but I am a mushmouth who speaks too fast and slurs words. I've had to overcome fear of public speaking. I have empathy for Biden. The press has empathy for no one (but Trump).

Had some spare time today so wrote a lil ocean scene generator for the @glitch.com july code jam. Code here (with comments), all JS/CSS: glitch.com/edit/#!/css-... Remix it and change the colors!

i started the TV show "evil" last night. kind of funny how i could tell it was a show by the kings a few minutes in, feels like the good wife with catholic shit

Honestly, I don't know how doomerism has survived the long arc of history. We used to grovel under kings. Slavery was the law of the land. Fascist authoritarians conquered a democracy and declared war on a continent and a people. And, all of that was overcome. It ceased. History didn't end.

I really have lost my former tolerance for "we're doomed/fucked/it's all over/they've won" takes at this point, in that they're the most dangerous attitudes one could possibly have when confronted with a truly existential political threat (which we still DO have levers to address).

No one is coming to save us. We need to build working-class power, we need to build a movement that can crush fascism, we need to organize like never before. Because we don't have a democracy to save, but we do have one to build from the ground up. www.jphilll.com/p/the-suprem...

This take is baffling. People were loudly saying this in 2016, large chunks of lefty dissenters maintained it was just a scare tactic, and then the lesser evil lost and the greater evil won and this is the direct result of that. The squishy liberal mind was proven emphatically correct

Why didn’t voting for the lesser evil stop this? And other questions for the liberal mind
