French Laundry chef again scolds Bay Area town over affordable housing project
lmfao Thomas Keller showing up to a community meeting in his chefs jacket to complain about affordable housing being built near his 3 Michelin star restaurant is just beyond parody. what a piece of shit
I think they might have better luck spending two thousand dollars holding a press conference where they detail who made the key decisions to collaborate with the Trump administration, how and when they were fired, and explaining what would stop that from happening again.
"Elite class solidarity" explains everything from Iran, to the Supreme Court, to the government's response to COVID, to "woke backlash," to Trump, etc. Like "the cruelty is the point," @adamserwer.bsky.social is so good at creating a unified theory of everything.
If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Grok being wrong: The Onion does have (hilarious) print editions, but this specific "Sam Altman" piece isn't from them—or any real outlet. It's a custom meme image made to look like one, floating around since at least February. Spot on for the satire though!
Wrong again, dumbass
Hey that's me
How I arrived on Bluesky
It’s actually FEWER Misérables
I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.
I had a conversation with the OpenAI recruiter running their Head of Communications search. I told her Anthropic was eating their lunch. I never heard from them again.
These assholes are really gonna go with “war is peace, actually.”
“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me
James Franco being executed by hanging. "First time?" he asks, as though he's been hanged before.
hey gen z welcome to republican governance
Anthropic: We lost a contract because we refuse to build Skynet.
OpenAI: We'll do it
“if you won’t let us use your product to spy on Americans and kill without supervision we will single-handedly destroy your business by fiat” is the single most authoritarian anti-business action I can ever remember any administration taking
i dont know if its always been like this but among the elites theres just no sense of responsibility to be good stewards of the society thats given them everything
art of the deal, baby
It’s heartening to see a company demonstrate principles — and stick by them in the face of threats.

Great piece about the US men's hockey team's poor navigation of power and perception in the minefield that is our hyper-polarized world.

Great example of how, in this era, trying to be fair to both sides means providing a platform for unserious people to spread destructive, objectively false garbage.
any democratic politician saying other democrats are talking about “pronouns” too much is laundering republican bigotry and lying to you to try and appear more moderate than democrats at large
Bluesky has not failed--it's literally just a website.
The left, the progressive movement, and American civil society have failed to organize a boycott of the neo-Nazi propaganda website that's central to political media. That's not on Bluesky.
Say what you will of Anthropic, but they have a very clear communications strategy. OpenAI though, yeesh who knows what they're thinking.
OpenAI comms needs to lock Sam in a conference room and keep him away from the press for at least 6 months.
yes, the wheels of justice are slow. agonizingly, excruciatingly slow. and oftentimes they miss or go off the tracks entirely. in fact most of the time. but occasionally, very infrequently, that big wheel of justice delivers theoretical remuneration for a handful of vested business interests
"Reality desperately needs a better public relations department" is a fantastic line.
100%. Even if the odds themselves generate useful signals, there has to be a better mechanism for getting that information than allowing WallStreetsBets gamblers to wager on the probability of bombing Iran.
