Seriously fuck Spotify for going into short form video

Being a parent of a teenager in the modern digital environment means begging your kid to play Minecraft or do *something* even slightly less brain-rotting than watching short video content from Spotify, which is what they're started doing because you've blocked all YouTube content from the XBox devices at the router level and turned off the WiFi and limited the carrier data throughput after 9PM for their smart phones, which they legitimately need because that is how their coaches communicate with them about cheer routines or band practice

And if you dare to complain about how annoying it is to have this second job as an IT admin just to keep your kids from guzzling down the worlds shittiest content, half the internet calls you a bad parent for not locking them down more and the other half calls you a bad parent for being a content Nazi

AI skepticism is driven by how much we underestimated the negative impacts of the internet early on. Most of these problems are due to the information glut and the failure to deal with it. AI makes the issues 100x worse and we don’t have much of a plan

@laurashin @0xYuzuu Krugman’s “fax machine” argument dramatically underestimated the impact of the internet. The problems came from success.

Cass Sunstein and Neil Postman predicted social media bubbles and the death of intellectual discourse. Even McLuhan saw digital tribalism coming in 1964.

how much Susie Wiles was getting paid by the hotel industry to go easy on employers who use illegal labor to juice profits at the expense of American workers?

For two years, I worked to advance voter promises of President Trump and RFK.

But when this level of subversion to voter intent is taking place by Ballard lobbyists, I believe the most effective thing you can do is tell the truth.
