I've done this once before (back on Twitter) but if you need a 2019 MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD with sequoia installed, it is on offer to a good home. it was the bad keyboard model and I never got it repaired under the program, but it usually worked fine for me.

it's honestly uncanny

2 years into a genocide and we are still doing "Israel good actually" and not mentioning the genocide

the cats caught a mouse at 4am and we had to deal with that. please no questions during this difficult time

“Nobody should be killed for their political beliefs” vs “every child in Gaza is potentially a terrorist” is a fun contrast

closed borders have always been a protection racket but demanding 100k to get back into the country is just insane

its now illegal to post this

not the point here but the "adult content" filter on this site is ridiculous lmao in terms of skin shown or sexual suggestiveness, any of these could be on a 10 foot display in the women's section at walmart. calm down bsky

among every other horrible thing about this, it sucks that the primary framing is as an outrage against the parents instead of you know, the 15yo girl whose picture adult cis men were gleefully treating as bait

one of our neighbors down the street has an extremely elderly pug who loves attention from strangers and let me tell you I am obsessed with that little chicken nugget

Haywain - Open

we are walking down the street and out of nowhere Ally says "I need you to measure my head" and I was like ????????? but this was just because she's hoping to buy a fitted

to be clear, because Microsoft can't figure out a way to manage supervised device enrollment that isn't insane, if you replace a system motherboard you simply have to wipe the machine even if the device storage/windows installation was not part of the original problem

people have started conversations irl with me about the "controversy" of trans women in sports and you'd be amazed how quickly they want to change the subject when i start pulling up years of my historical running data comparing pre-transition and the exact same routes ~3 years later on HRT.

I heard a while back on 404 that Facebook has totally given up on content moderation. Checks out. Who needs moderators, you have GenAI?

turns out it's pretty hard to put an hour's worth of charlie kirk together and hold up the "he was not a white christian nationalist, actually" charade

Love to live in a shithole country that can't produce reliable economic data but can blow up random boats in international waters and set aside a day to remember a bigoted podcaster.

"What do you expect Democrats to do!?!???'

either ezra is incredibly stupid or incredibly disingenuous and it's honestly hard to tell which

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

trying to find a new case for my iPhone 9 which is a lot like trying to find someone to shoe my beloved elderly carriage horse

BREAKING: Ally has gotten the first pup on her Chinese money plant (Pilea peperomioides)

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

Just got a great set of emails from the FBI.

DHS/ICE are basically openly unaccountable to the courts and it seems like they should be abolished with prejudice, just spitballing here

"lol I can't afford to hire an artist obv I'm gonna use ai image generators" you can't afford ai image generators either, you just don't understand the cost yet

always glad to have provided some primary source documentation of whatever was going on in women's hockey 2015-2024

I like this. Since under RFK Jr, Covid shots are now for people with underlying conditions that put them at risk, Michigan’s chief medical executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian states that not having the most recent Covid shot constitutes such an underlying condition. www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/inside...

I see we've reached the "uhhhhh just don't worry about it, it's fine" part of the bubble

I feel like part of the problem is that in the modern era, especially in the United States, people think that in order to count, they have to post about their activism or what they're doing. But here's the thing: you don't. 99% of what I do is stuff I never mention on social media.

learn.microsoft.com/en-us/autopi... microsoft are sadists

voter blaming really is just so often something people turn to out of powerlessness. can't get your reps to actually do anything. no amount of crises from multiple economic crashes to a pandemic to record breaking protests to even a coup attempt changed them either. you know they aren't listening.

seeing another rash of voter blaming and i wonder how people reconcile this with all the times dem senators - in deep blue states, even - that people voted for and put into office decided to give unanimous consent to GOP shit so they could go on vacation. they voted 'correctly', and yet, get nothing

hey chuck did you give unanimous consent for anything today?

I think Jeopardy is trolling. They did a "little black books" category and also now they're doing a gender category

lol this is me, ex you don't "feel like a girl" for example but feminine stuff isn't "wrong"

“They’re not allowed to” is about as plain as it gets.

my dude you can't even vote against a national day of remembrance for Charlie Kirk be serious for five seconds

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

It's 30°C in Gaza today, set to rise to 33°C in a few days, and tents do nothing to protect against the heat. Poor Talia is suffering. Please donate to help her parents buy more milk and water, plus other essentials. gofund.me/db56c7ce3 @mommunism.bsky.social @lexialex.bsky.social @fairshare.help 🍉🍼

Important to understand that Sinclair, Nexstar, and Tenga are the local TV Oligarchy. They are increasingly looking to buy each other up until all US local TV is controlled by one company. They need a compliant FCC for this. Jon Oliver did an excellent episode back in 2018 featuring Sinclair.

i think this kind of desperation to triangulate a perfect position should be diagnosable

surely there weren’t multiple high profile figures saying it’s over if you can get canceled for doing jokes

ABC's escalating censorship comes as no surprise to those of us who saw what they did to Doctor Odyssey

It's funny how all the Kirk discourse is basically the dramatic mirror of a 2008 forum ban, played out on a national scale.

I've honestly never seen so much crybaby bitch shit in my life
