I used to work for Meta but now I don’t, and I love that for me.

"Because yes, the existence of dipshits is indeed unfixable, but building arrays of Dipshit Accelerators that allow a small number of bad actors to build destructive empires defended by Dipshit Armies is a choice. The refusal to genuinely remodel that machinery when its harms first appear is another choice."

Or, as I've said: culture is reciprocal with affordances, and everything is downstream from culture.

Against the dark forest

The complex of ideas I’m going to call the Dark Internet Forest emerges from mostly insidery tech thinking, but from multiple directions.

They’re waterproof so I can secretly watch tiktoks in the shower.

I can TUCK MY HAIR BEHIND MY EARS without getting tangled up and knocking them out.

The brand is called King Lucky, which is absolutely precious, even if the manual does have some suspiciously dire warnings against using them anywhere near someone with a pacemaker.

Anyway screw Apple day, buy weird gadgets!

I just got some cheap ring style earbuds, and I, a person with tiny slimy ear holes that spit out AirPods, may never go back to them, because:

The ring ones are super comfortable, and I would have to shake my head hard enough to make myself dizzy for them to fall off

They look kinda cool? I wish they came in gold so I could pretend I had a big ass cartilage piercing

The sound is like, fine. Better than you would expect for $30. If you love your Frame TV, you will be happy w/ these earbuds 🧵

So yesterday I was thinking about how great it was to catch up with so many of my favorite people at #xoxofest but now I need to restore balance to my little introvert universe and not be perceived for a week or two, then I tested positive for Covid last night so lol lmao byeee

Deep cleaning your own house: demure

Deep cleaning every nook and cranny around your airplane seat, but only if the stewardess is handing out wipes as you get on the plane: brat

Ps: the big reveal was that he uncovered the history of a forgotten artist/Imagineer, and was able to preserve the artwork that originally piqued his curiosity.

That artwork? A giant mural featuring an earnest yet unhinged Ronald McDonald milking a cow, rescued from a McDonald’s that was about to be completely remodeled.

Another bullet point to add to my list of Oddly Specific Displays of Humanity That Makes Lisa Cry

#xoxofest

Ok good, looks like I wasn’t the only one who broke into ugly sobs at the big reveal in @cabel’s #xoxofest talk.

Weird #xoxofest question but are there any bars in Portland showing the DNC? Preferably downtown and with food 🙏🏻

PS: @backlon and I are in town, hi!

Women know this is bullshit. Actual measurements aren’t even accurate to predict how something will _fit_ different body types. But I could see the value in creating mockups… call it an outfit planner or accessorizer or something, like how this top will look with these pants/shoes/bag/necklace etc.

I’m still insulted that OpenAI used such an offputtingly flirtatious voice. Give me a voice that is wry and sardonic, someone who understands everything and it pains her.
