If you haven't seen it yet, go check out @ernie's new search engine ...

... which automatically appends "&udm=14" to the end of your search query ...

... thereby triggering Google to give you your results with no AI answer at the top, and (for me, anyway) no ads

It's like google from 2004 or something

What an amazing opportunity to do the opposite of the shiny new thing called “AI”.

Let’s go.

This is a good piece about third places (“settings a person frequents beyond their home & work”), their benefits, how to find/make your own, and the challenges people face in finding them. Do you have a third place? https://www.vox.com/the-highlight/24119312/how-to-find-a-third-place-cafe-bar-gym-loneliness-connection

This video explores a fascinating phenomenon: the pressure of a liquid and a gas within a sealed container (in a gravity environment) depends on where the gas is located! The explaination is so counter-intuitive.

Republicans: “We believe in free markets.”

Workers: “Ok, I'd like to go work for my firm's competitor without legal threats.”

Republicans: “No, not that free market.”

Lina Khan was appointed by Joe Biden to lead the FTC in 2021. Elections matter and so does who appoints government officials.

This is huge news for workers.

FTC bans noncompete agreements, making it easier for workers to quit. Here's what to know. -

The old saw that it’s best to combat bad speech with more speech sure is being tested. And it’s failing. We have no way of focusing more speech. None. The right-wing has a massive media infrastructure that repeats messages all day long to millions, and never gives air to any counter-speech.

But for all our tech ambitions and wizardry, no one has come up with a way to even dent their propaganda machine. It’s a bad situation.

Lost Levels is an annual unconference that happens in Yerba Buena Gardens while Game Developers Conference is in SF. It is free to participate, outdoors, and no badge required. Anyone can give a talk or run a discussion about games / play!

is not an official event, but it's been happening on the Thursday of week at noon, every year for the past 10+ years. More info here https://lostlevels.net/

Here's a short mini-comic I made during Lost Levels 2018.

Footage of an unconference in a park. There is usually one person speaking, without any amplified devices, and the crowd is sitting on the grass listening. As the talks are happening, I show a hand drawn comic book that features a quote and a drawing of some of the speakers.

I don't know if people get that we've never had a president who has gone tits out for labor like this. It's the literal opposite of Reagan, whose entire identity was as a union buster.

By the way, Ruben Gallego basically ENDED Kyrsten Sinema's political career by hoisting the flag to primary her, and I gave him some bucks to do it then, and if you feel like thanking him with a few bucks now, here's where you can do it. He's an actual progressive and a Marine vet going up against neo-Nazi Kari Lake so there's basically no downside.

Hard to overstate how enshittified and botshitted Google Maps has become. Went looking for my local locksmith on Gmaps. Maps shows 20+ fake locksmith referral scam outlets and doesn't even register the real locksmith, despite it being fully visible in Street View.

Instead, a red pin on the shop identifies it as a fake locksmith scammer. The real locksmith - which has been there SINCE 1942 (!!) and is a verified merchant - doesn't even show up.

The show on is on YouTube now. Think you’re too smart to get caught up by one? So did this bank CEO, who lost his bank, literally. Do your research and watch this show to protect yourself and your money, or maybe a friend’s. https://youtu.be/pLPpl2ISKTg?si=HwzCGYrZgZ7z1m74
