NYT says their performance on Threads today was an aberration, & not indicative of deeper problems they've had with social media. Unfortunately, that hasn't satisfied many observers whose concerns are growing louder. The stakes are too high. For the good of the news, the Times should step aside

Here's some fashy tears for your Sunday.

The hurdle America has in following up France and the UK’s rejection of the far right is that our party system is stupider than the UK’s and our electoral system is stupider than them both (counting the presidency & electoral college). But we’re gonna give it our best.

I can’t explain how fucked up it is that Threads created a more hostile atmosphere to the New York Times than we did. Tony the Tiger brand humping website just beat our asses.

Wow. @nytimes.com has closed their Threads account and left the platform after days of getting just shredded in the replies for their handling of Biden post debate. Now they're getting dog piled on Instagram for running from Threads.

L O and indeed L

I'm always vaguely freaked out by how many people are happy to show you the live streaming surveillance footage they have set up inside their own homes and gardens.

On the drive between the hotel and the concert site, I kept my eyes open for these, and they were on every street. I’d say about ten percent of front doors. I’ve never seen one in Sweden.

hot take: high fantasy has become too much about wonky palace intrigue and eldritch spectacle. i just want a series of three books where decent folks walk to maybe 15-20 places and describe how they camp, sleep, and eat at each, plus poems in a fake language

I started rereading Lord of the Rings just bc it is something I've read many times before and it's better to do that at 4 AM than think terrible things. But I forgot just how weird it is, esp how much of it is dedicated to lush travel writing about what it is like to walk at different times of day??

Because people seem to not understand how "AI" uses so much water, here's a quick+dirty breakdown: The more data centers you have & the more traditional power you use, the more water you 1a) use To cool & 1b) lose, because they arent perfectly sealed systems, & 2) will need to boil to run turbines.

Remember when some of y'all got real mad at me for doing some back-of-the-napkin math about how much water "AI" likely uses, in light of the fact that they refuse to release their actual numbers? Anyway.

Italian prosecutors in Milan investigated how Dior is producing their handbags. They found that the workers were sleeping in the facility so bags could be produced around the clock. Consumers pay $2,780 per bag. The production of the bags costs Dior $57. Ht: @maxroser.bsky.social

Now we know how much it costs to make a $2,800 Dior bagwww.businessinsider.com In recent months, Italian authorities raided Dior subcontractor workshops where people were working around the clock, they said.

He was embarassed, but it was when Paltrow reassured him everything was fine and tried to collect the mess and turn it into a candle that he knew he had to flee

You may think you have had bad diarrhea before, but have you ever had it make national news?

Libro.fm is rad. 100 percent recommend. I have not looked back.

I want more folks to know about libro.fm as an alternative to Audible or Spotify or other shady corps. It’s 100% employee-owned and works like Audible, except your credits support an indie bookstore of your choosing instead of Amazon. Go listen to a disabled author for Disability Pride Month! 💙📚

Same audiobooks. Different story.libro.fm Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

You’ve all seen this but I’m still marvelling at it. No Tory seats in Central London and environs. One Independent (Corbyn) several Lib Dem in South West, the rest Labour.
