For the sixth year running, Vanity Fair interviews Billie Eilish about where she's at in her life. Great series – it's incredible that they picked her to interview at 15 and now she's an Oscar-winner who headlined Coachella. kottke.org/22/11/the-vani

. I’m surprised to see barely differentiated chum interleaved with your own articles, barely differentiated. You don’t think that undermines your journalism?

Every single one of these dozens of items is a real threat, known to anyone who manages systems with millions (or hundreds of millions) of users, and one will pop up nearly every day. And none are issues you’d find at, say, a car company. Only a fool would ignore these risks.

I've seen a lot of people asking "why does everyone think Twitter is doomed?"
As an SRE and sysadmin with 10+ years of industry experience, I wanted to write up a few scenarios that are real threats to the integrity of the bird site over the coming weeks.

I can't emphasize enough: If you amplify and retweet a fascist's messages, you are doing the work for the, for free. You do _not_ have to let them decide the cultural narrative, or what makes news. You can amplify the undersung who are doing meaningful work to help others.

Taylor Swift’s tour sale is a perfect example of how the Live Nation/Ticketmaster merger harms consumers by creating a near-monopoly. I’ve long urged DOJ to investigate the state of competition in the ticketing industry. Consumers deserve better than this anti-hero behavior.

In oulipo.social members may only post messages that don't contain the letter E. In dolphin.town, created in protest, all messages must consist only of strings of E.

Fetterman is an important figure and I hope the Dem leadership reward him by giving him a job to which he's uniquely suited: absolutely bullying the shit out of J.D. Vance.

It really is a shame that the only possible color for a checkmark of any sort is blue. 🙄
Quote Tweet
A lot of folks have asked about how you'll be able to distinguish between @TwitterBlue subscribers with blue checkmarks and accounts that are verified as official, which is why we’re introducing the “Official" label to select accounts when we launch.

FYI. Someone has been impersonating me on Twitter - if you already follow me do not respond with another follow- sorry for the inconvenience. The fake account only has 100 followers.
Jesus fucking Christ.
Democracy, the right to choose, the safety of trans youth and adults are all on the ballot and you, your imperial shit bag-ness, try to seem logical in your shitty, shitty decision to support enemies of the republic. God you suck.

If money is free speech, then advertisers choosing on where they spend their dollars is exercising free speech, not destroying it.

Every World Series commercial break is just an endless stream of Oz and Fetterman commercials, which creates unintentionally funny moments like this.

Of all the alternate history premises in fiction, the McGuffin of @edenrobins's debut, "When Franny Stands Up," is one of the most unlikely and - it turns out - rich.
