i'm burdened with a good memory for things that don't matter, so it hasn't escaped my notice how many people who participated in the idiotic k*te w*gner pile-on last month are currently opining as if they are without sin.

one of the things i like about bluesky is that most of the reasons it sucks ass have nothing to do with the "baked in" design features or anything people spent the last ten years pulling their hair out about. it's a classic case of shitty people and shitty culture. no lazy, armchair sts required.

it's literally always like this here. i don't know what you are all on about.

smart of whoever came up with the word "job" to name it after the guy from the bible.

thanks to the power of computers, i now know that i've watered my plants

pushing war into degrees of shimmering, spectral existence that the postmodernists themselves would barely be able to handle.

ok so this is fucking crazy in a holistic moms group

i'm modding video game characters so they finally have a bra that actually fits. i don't know what you perverts are doing.

My mouldering, unpublished dissertation was picked as book of the year in this(?!)
