Lot of people in CA still voting! And the lines have returned, somehow (glares at Los Angeles county)

Was thinking this was NYC's night to shine but yet again LA surprises us. Not as bad as the great broken voting machine fiasco from a few years back. Good on NYC for upgrading their capacity

Sent my first pizza for the cycle - now sidetracked fixing our bsky feed 🥲

Well don't I feel stupid

If you mash the audio example buttons on the wikipedia page for the IPA vowel sounds you can create a choir of mildly disgusted men

Is the old guy in Up a nimby?

Hey, the common loon called. Yeah, it was hauntingly beautiful

This is the truest thing I have ever seen. You cannot imagine how much the Romans would have lost their minds for excel. They literally already started writing our historical chronicles in synchronized columns *by hand*

the senators recoil in horror as a wounded Caesar rises from the floor and a second health bar appears on the screen

Sorry, I thought "It's Giving Tuesday" was just the way that youths talk about Tuesday now

I'd love to follow more software engineers (and folks working closely with devs: e.g. in product, design, data etc) My problem: it's hard to find these people! And many devs don't (yet) have details in their bios. If this is you, can you please add a reply and a short description of what you do?

That's a great name for a pizzeria, Wisconsin

"Democracy Dies in Darkness?" No! "Democracy Dies, In Darkness!"

I have a joke about Cassandra but no one will listen to me tell it

There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

@patrickwyman.bsky.social are you stoked, bummed, or indifferent about hitting Alexander at the same time as Hardcore History? (As a fan of both, I am stoked. But you’ve been building to this for a while and then he drops Part 1)

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.

Trying to explain the 100 Days to contextualize how weird it is that Napoleon is never mentioned on Bridgerton. Jan 6th but it worked and the rest of Europe mobilized to stop it. It’s contemporary with the latest season (1815) - thousands of their sons and fathers will soon die at Waterloo

Excited to hear the verdict on this how much taco bell costs thing, appreciate Judge Merchan for empaneling a jury to figure it out.

There's an old saying in Sietch Tabr — I know it's in Jacurutu, probably in Sietch Tabr—that says, may thy knife chip—shatter on you... If thy knife chips it won't get chipped again.

What’s the thing to do with unused invites now that I’ve vaguely offered them to acquaintances? Is there a place there really in need?

… the translator isn’t named John Scalzi, right?

The discover tab has become 25% furry content - is that just me or a site wide thing?

Towhee Thursdays (aren't a thing...yet)

Grandfather may have been a time traveler - was drawing a farmer wojack in the times before posting

going out with style

Owyhee Canyon is really worth the trip - it's a touch over 8 hour drive from Portland but only 2.5 from Boise. Empty except for these cows and these invasive birds, Chukars, that cluck menacingly from the clifftops

What a nerd
