First they claimed it was for misinformation and now they're saying our video, which features non-AI footage of Netanyahu (which is the point of the video) is AI content 🤔🤔🤔

TikTok banned a video we made making fun of Benjamin Netanyahu and continues to change the official reason why. First it said it was for misinformation, now it's saying it was for AI content. https://t.co/zp6yAE0U1j You can watch the video below:

I never saw Fall Guy and the reason I never saw it (and lots of other people didn't see it) was because streaming platforms produced so many action (rom)comedies that they basically became spam. I saw Project Hail Mary yesterday because it looked different and fun. (It was!)

I just read this piece thanks to Garbage Day (the best newsletter about the internet ever written). This kind of lazy "cultural critique" can only happen if you keep pretending that there is the INTERNET, and REAL LIFE, and somehow they aren't the same thing

April 7th, Baby’s Alright in Williamsburg, I’m doing GARBAGE DAY LIVE with *Don Lemon*, hosted by @broderick 🗑️ 😎 Get ticketsss https://t.co/eH718qR4ri

Giant mics now convey more authority than fancy sets *a trend first noted to me years ago by @broderick

The kind of story only an American could write (derogatory). Weebification is happening everywhere. A cursory look at Japan — where it started — would give you every answer you're looking for here. Stagnant economy -> arrested development -> niche consumerism replaces identity.

if you’re not familiar with Akilah’s work, get familiar

The Timothée Chalamet controversy is actually very weird! (And probably extremely fake.) https://t.co/u1rQiWeQKN

This post illustrates my problem with AI-generated text. It literally does not feel good to my eyes. It's clunky and boring and doesn't hold together well. Also after taking this quiz I realized AI is bad at starting and ending paragraphs. Has no concept of pacing.

Right-wing culture, regardless of what it is specifically, is always 10-15 years behind everyone else. Whether we're talking about craft beer, stomp clap indie, or millennial epic bacon Reddit slop. Just a completely pathological aversion to relevance. Sad.

Nothing makes me feel anything anymore

Epstein was involved with 4chan?! In this week's episode of Panic World, @broderick and Marcus Parks of @LPontheleft get together to break down the strange web of connections between Jeffrey Epstein, the early internet, and modern conspiracy culture. https://t.co/z5IGjeSJbH

this is one of the better observations/musings of 2026

Once we could see what people "liked," watched, and engaged with online we were given the option to lean further into mass appeal or fight against it for niche appeal. AI makes that choice — between slop and luxury — even more economically risky by making slop the cheaper path.

AI forces everyone to finally make a decision on taste. Social media decimated the middle ground between luxury and slop and AI only exacerbates it. There will be many companies — and people — that decide they do not have the strength (or the budget) to fight its downward pull.

I'm simplifying a bit, but the reason big men's magazines lost their audiences is the same reason every other publisher lost their audiences. They wanted mass appeal on Facebook and missed out on an entire generation of readers that went to podcasts and Instagram.

GQ and Esquire were still focused on menswear in the 2000s as it was moving downstream of hobbies and subcultures. In the 2010s, menswear became a subculture of its own. But men's mags missed the chance to launch their own Throwing Fits because they were chasing Facebook traffic.

The internet fractured men's interests into so many disparate niches with virtually no overlap that a "The Cut for men" would be impossible. Any serious mainstream outlet for men in the 2020s would be an incoherent collection of various hobby drama posts (which I would read tbh).
