Some of my fellow SEIU members whine that their dues fund political propaganda, whereas I would like to see a lot more of it

Man, every lawyer I know is a huge U2 fan. All they talk about is doing pro Bono work. Like, there’s a crisis going on, literally listen to another band.

California in winter is like a Fae world where spring and winter are places on the map you can visit.

For the record, this is satire. You can Google the guy and see his other LinkedIn posts and his comments on this one. I hate being a buzzkill,* but I don't love how easily people get taken in and outraged on Bluesky, the Good, Smarter Social Media Website™. *Not really, I kind of love it, tbh.

Honestly I think this is just an excuse to include AI stuff in elementary and college education, and workplace trainings. You’d want to do that out of laziness, cost cutting, etc

They put a button labeled "make me mad" in my enclosure and every time I press it I get poked with a pin. I thought there might be a monthly limit or something but so far it seems like you get unlimited presses

I forgot that this is the age (11 months old) where some parents will claim their babies can say dozens of words and have started reading their letters

If all these white collar jobs could be replaced by AI in 18 months, then many of them really ought to be replaceable by computer programs that exist today (like reminders from Outlook), so why aren’t they?

Very sick of upper middle class parents insisting they have no choice to be ruthless cutthroat monsters in the elementary schools because “[the] system forces them to compete for survival at every level”.

Californians have good muscle memory for this. No, I don’t love him, but who else am I going to vote for for governor? The guy who campaigned with a live bear and got pissed when people asked him about the bear?

Trying to ne objective here but I feel like this is manipulative but not informative

It kind of gives away the “politics as posting” problem when signing a bill is meaningless, but hosting a podcast is the epitome of reality

There are so many reasons to oppose Gavin Newsom’s presidential candidacy but on Bluesky dot social all of them revolve around terror about what legislation he would pass, the thing the president cannot do

i went to the GYM

What if the Survivorship Bias Plane turned sentient and became Secretary of the AirForce?

[most viscerally unhealthy-seeming person you've ever met] i'm going to lead a mass movement of health

I feel like many AI-boosters refuse to contend with the fact that a lot of people viscerally, violently, yes perhaps even irrationally hate the technology

This, more or less, is the full encapsulation of social media: Person A says something they wish was true. Person B points out that it’s not. Person A gets mad at Person B for ruining the vibe and calls them some largely gross epithet in the Chapo dialect.

Huge fan of how he wants to whine about Bad Bunny but also wants to pretend he watched the Kid Rock thing

imagine trying to experience something IRL and being preemptively overwhelmed by all the possible bad posts that *could* be made about it

People waste a lot of time on this site demanding Chuck Schumer make better statements to make them personally feel better

Indeed its your patriotic duty to complain, because it is the sum of all of our grumbling that creates the feeling of malaise, and the feeling of malaise is how get a reverse 1980 election

I swear to God, Bluesky is a text based social media app where a significant portion of the userbase functionally cannot read

I comment on it because it interests me so I’m part of the problem obviously but sometimes it is a bummer to read the violent misogyny from Twitter on here

Dinosaurs And Non-Dinosaurs xkcd.com/3204/

a nice thing about when the internet was a bunch of little sites and servers was that it was a lot harder for governments to pressure "the chat provider everyone uses" to implement age verification. you wanna pressure 300 separate IRC servers? good luck with that. but one company? easy

A lot of people on this website and midterms

Voters: "I disliked Biden because [thing Trump did], and I missed Trump because [thing Biden did]. I voted for Trump again because I wanted [thing Harris promised], But I really hope that Trump doesn't [core Trump campaign promise]."

Average true crime fan

Somebody tried pretty hard to hack my Twitter account last night. If I’m posting again — no I’m not!

It would probably blow our minds to know how many Trump voters there must be out there who are like “cool show”, just making no connection at all

Just saw a commercial so annoying I feel the wild urge to claim it represents everything wrong with society today

Several days into using DuckDuckGo as my mobile browser and it already has one feature I can’t live without: a button on the toolbar that closes all your open tabs forever so you can start over

I regret to inform, it turned out fine

In 1979, the “New York Times” asked Isaac Bashevis Singer if he planned to watch the Super Bowl.

To me this is baffling because I enjoy the feeling of having figured it out “on my own” (even if it’s just reading the instructions) and one of my more annoying traits is the things other people tell me to do are often in one ear and out the other

My daughter picking movies from our Plex library rather than the algorithmic apps has unexpectedly resulting in us watching Christmas movies year round

we gotta open the schools…or close down the schools. not sure. yikes

"Is 53 greater or less than 47" quickly becoming the defining political question of our time

“Wow that’s based,” typed 45 year old in pajama pants, expressionless

A lot of mom support forums are really husband support forums

(Trump blows up Lincoln Memorial) NYT: Trump Tests Longstanding Tradition of Not Blowing Up Lincoln Memorial

There are only 2 real responses to housing scarcity. You can either build enough homes to accommodate everyone or start drawing up a list of “undesirable demographics” to exclude. I know which side I’m on.

I'd normally throw a "we regret the error" on this correction, but that'd be a lie, as regret is a feeling and, as of about 45 minutes ago, I am incapable of feeling anything

There was a time when I might have disliked the way this show frequently looks directly at the camera and says “in this house, we believe that Black Lives Matter, love is love, no human is illegal women’s rights are human rights, trans women are women…” but now I am all for it.

it’s time

the Spectator accidentally recycled a subhed from a previous day’s article about Tehran

I can’t believe that California is about to argue about whether or not to exempt old people from even MORE property taxes
