I'm happy to inform you that the Trolley Problem has been solved, for all time, by @stanzipotenza.bsky.social. youtube.com/shorts/7oRsK...

Best adaptation of The Odyssey, wrong answers only.

QTP with a game that has a 10/10 soundtrack.

Google is requiring all Android developers to register centrally, pay a fee, and submit government ID. Apps from unregistered developers will be silently blocked. over 67 organizations oppose this. @keepandroidopen.bsky.social keepandroidopen.org

There’s an upside to all this: Republicans are going to turn a number of solid red districts purple. In other words, “vote harder” just might work

Contractions with 3 words: -she'd've -wouldn't've Contractions with more than 3 words: -y'all'll've -they'dn't've

Oh, thank God. Madison Sheahan, the horrible deputy director of ICE, won't be representing me in Congress. Still worried for @repmarcykaptur.bsky.social, but at least it won't be Sheahan.

I think the most important less-than-obvious thing to know about humanity is that, for our entire history, pretty much most of us are starving. At most, a misfortune/mistake or two from starving. For example, this alone seems to explain kind of a lot about how dogs act around us.

I agree entirely. For what it's worth, technically "the occasion of Russel Brand being an idiot" is a tautology.

Film you've watched more than six times, with a GIF. Hard mode: No Star Wars/Trek, HP, LotR, Marvel.

More and more I am seeing "I would never use it for anything creative but I generative AI seems fine for coding" and I wonder if people realize that coding is also a creative field and the generated code is also coming from scraped and plagiarized human code, please don't give coding a special pass

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

this is a boring take but if we want this from a Dem President in 2029 we need to deliver the type of huge legislative majority Magyar just achieved and not the razor-thin one that Biden was forced to work with.

"Voting doesn't work" motherfuckers! Watch as enough people vote to literally rewrite a constitution! Watch and fucking seethe!!!!

All of these are entirely normal positions of the Church which were also stated repeatedly by Francis and Benedict and John Paul II through various media

/2 Excuse me @elienyc.bsky.social could I get your reaction to something just real quick

Just in case folks miss this due to the block

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

when we're all unable to connect to use the internet, send emails, pay our bills, use our toasters, and god knows what else if AWS goes down, i want you to know now that i blame our lack of antitrust laws far more than i'll blame a foreign missile

#NoKings #Toledo #Ohio

Thank God for Afroman giving Ohio someone to be proud of.

Finally, someone's been listening to me.

I wonder whether it creeped out Justin Martyr when people called him that.

They made them take down the videos because they would cause "reputational damage" to people like this young man, Nathan Cavanuagh, so definitely don't post this all over the internet with the name Nathan Cavanaugh attached, or this guy might suffer reputational damage. This guy, Nathan Cavanaugh.

So, I talked about it yesterday on stream, but here's the official post for use on here so people know what's going on. I used alt text so if the color schemes are hard to read the alt text is there too. I hate to ask, but please, we need help badly. Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/crimsoncleri... #VTuber #Orc

Like all the debate me bros, domination masquerading as reason

Beware the nones of March!

The Department of Defense never lost a single F-15 in air-to-air combat. (Two were lost to surface-to-air missiles.) The Department of War lost three. To an ally. Because they are presumably too busy being "lethal" to coordinate with allies.

If you're a subscriber to HBO, it's time to watch all the things you want to see before it's time to boycott. May I please suggest Conspiracy. To everyone. It's an amazing movie adapted from the minutes of the Wansee Conference, at which the Shoah was promulgated.

The Toledo Blade is being pretty obtuse here. Of course the city of Toledo should prohibit ICE from entering schools, hospitals, and shelters.

You know, I don't think it's done good things to my soul, to discover recently (the past two months, or whatever it's been) that I never hated Bill Gates as much as he deserved.

His point fails even on its own merits. A human eating 2,000 kilocalories each day consumes about 15 million kilocalories in 20 years. About 61 billion joules. A megawatt data center consumes 61 billion joules in about 17 hours.

it's really damning for academia that the president of Bard College hasn't stepped down yet

Just humiliating to be a white Catholic in America. But I've been saying since 2007 that there's a sickness in white Catholicism.

I'll tell you what, if it hasn't been curled by now, I'm not sure any more curling will help.

I can't say how proud I am of @usc.edu that they're on this list.

Boundaries are good. If someone sets one with you, strongly consider respecting it. If you are inclined to tell them that you think they are only setting a boundary because of mental illness, perhaps reconsider.

I'm old enough to remember the existence of Elizabeth Warren, presidential candidate

Basically the new John Waters heuristic is to not sleep with anyone who boastfully uses ChatGPT

If you're a business owner who fires someone you have assigned to an overseas job and you don't buy them a plane ticket home you should actually go to prison

The CIA just stopped publishing their World Factbook and took every page, including the archived copies of previous versions! This sucks. It was public domain, so I recovered the 2020 edition (the last one published as a zip file) and shared it to GitHub simonwillison.net/2026/Feb/5/t...

I wish I had fewer opportunities to appreciate the friendly service of my local Belle Tire.

If you've ever, ever quoted Chomsky at me, know that I'm judging you.

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: 1) Laboratory Tutorial 2) Language Tutorial 3) Mathematics Tutorial 4) Music Tutorial 5) Seminar (This is a comprehensive list. These are the classes I took at @stjohnsgreatbooks.bsky.social) sjc.edu

I've decided—and I hope that Three Seagrass and @byzantienne.bsky.social might approve—that my Teixcalaanli name is 0.62 Teapot. #AMemoryCalledEmpire en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Memor...

if I could enlist to fight these pricks I would do it. and I would paint “THEY STOLE LIAM’S SPIDEY BACKPACK” on the artillery shells
