Cyberpunk is dead. Or is it? I make the case for why it's actually the most relevant genre alive right now. Link in comments.

@pixelfondue @TSoS_ Oh, it's still 100% cool, even though it's tedious, lol. The guy's a genius and predicted so many things. I just hope they don't make the series tedious.

@wesleycrossnyc @TSoS_ Well, to be fair it was really the first time this style was published. It may seem tedious today but in the 80s it was very cool.

First look poster for the Apple TV+ series 'Neuromancer' based on William Gibson's 1984 novel of the same name. Posted by writer, director and producer JD Dillard.

@pixelfondue @TSoS_ That too, but that's minor. That part could even be charming. But the book has some of the most tedious writing in a modern novel I've ever seen, which I think did a great disservice to the story.

@wesleycrossnyc @TSoS_ Just reread it recently, you mean the outdated ideas that 4 Megs is a lot of RAM, stuff like that or something else?

@therosieum @nypost Couldn’t agree more. I normally don’t care, but I saw one too many posts with AI-altered fireworks and said that these hate posts are on par with flat earthers. The replies didn’t disappoint. Room temp IQ levels.

this is insane. exactly what i wrote about. @nypost you should be ashamed

A great read on how social media and algos can warp reality and turn a beloved icon into a perceived villain.

@therosieum Nicely done

@_Zaraquin Posts like these are on par with flat Earth nonsense.

If FIFA world cup final was not rigged, why were the fireworks colors of Argentina? Their plans were ruined by Spain.

@DevinRhode2 @hubermanlab I'm sure 99,400 public and 30,000 private schools can figure it out and coordinate in a jiffy. While they are at it, we can safely ignore the 10%-24% increase in heart attacks that follows the switch to DST. Win-win!

Lots of people asking about the shift to permanent daylight savings. The data clearly show locking to standard is best. For mental and physical health. That am sunlight is key, But if not, then locking to daylight savings second best. Shifting back-and-forth is the worst choice.

@PJOPJOPJOPJO @hubermanlab People like you are the reason why we can’t have nice things. “You can’t have this nice thing, whaaaah! And your kids can’t have this nice thing, whaaaaah! It has to be perfect, or nobody gets anything at all, whaaaaah!”

@wesleycrossnyc @hubermanlab from every perspective its better, except the perspective of grown ass men who want everyone else to sacrifice so they can have more playtime afterwork.

@PeterSchiff What stage of kleptocracy is this?

In the latest Trump grift, Truth Social will now sell faster access to Trump’s market-moving posts to institutional investors willing to pay for it. This is yet another example of Trump's unprecedented exploitation of the presidency for personal financial gain.

@Every_Other_Odd @esaagar

@wesleycrossnyc @esaagar The overwhelming majority of Americans care

It’s genuinely heartening to see how many people have taken up the mantle against the corrupt Florida boomer lazy golfing class that wants to doom productive people to blackness with permanent DST We will fight until our last breath to preserve our sleep and our vitality

@SeanMoyer410344 @esaagar Putrid? Strong words, lol. I do have kids, internet rando, and I'd like them to have some daylight when they come back from school.

@Dexerto Society in a nutshell

New broadcasting guidelines for women's athletics have been released to crack down on camera angles and slow-motion replays that ‘sexualize’ athletes The guidelines highlight shots broadcasters are urged to avoid

@ChrisCillizza Maybe people who’ve paid for their seats aren’t the problem. Maybe the airlines that stuff too many seats into their planes are.

I am 6'3". I NEVER recline my seat. You shouldn't either. Don't be the worst.

@BernieSanders Cheap populism that assumes we are all idiots.

@AOC I’m not even making an argument whether having trillionaires is a sign of a healthy society. But for the love of god, stop pretending that taxing Elon to death will make a difference. You take in trillions. EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. And piss them away.

But taxing wealth so normal people can afford to see a doctor and not go bankrupt over inhalers is radical left. OK

@ewarren You guys are pissing away trillions of our money every year. But sure, taxing Musk will solve it.

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. This needs to be a wake up call.

@SenWarren You need to stop wasting our taxes. Or did Musk make you do it?

Elon Musk just became the world's first trillionaire. The typical American household would have to work more than 11 MILLION years to make Elon Musk's level of wealth. We need a wealth tax.
