I’m your constituent and a Dem voter and in the tech industry and I’d just like to say that this sucks and you should stop doing it.

Are you adventurous? Slightly rebellious? Hate being cooped up or hemmed in? Meet ya canine twin. Perhaps *you* can help him get thru those pesky locks and into a loving furever home? (Methinks Sir Willington would make an excellent escape room teammate.)

The solutions exist and are many. The political will? Well, that depends on all of US.

They’re playing “Stand By Me”! 😭💖🎶🤝

Freybug's Christmas wish turned into a nightmare. Adopted in December dumped back in NYCACC 20 lbs lighter, scarred and scared. Please someone show this baby some real love. ADOPT OR EAST COAST FOSTER Fostering is FREE for you! PLEASE REPOST FREYBUG

Thanks Google AI. Now, can you point out where the one "h" in "wiffle" is? Thanks.

We don't want this shit

So here is the creepy part. THE YEAST COLLECTED AT XBOX HQ MAKES XBOX LOGO BREAD. I have no idea how this happened. It’s a miracle and so creepy. Ancient aliens and shit. Ok good night. Try some baking. Play some games. I love you, I’ve got your back. 👊💚

Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to America. What do your taxes actually do for you

Seeing this in my part of the world, too. $8 fills, $5 fills, the rare $20 fill. No one but those w/corporate cards or business write-offs are filling up on the regular.

We stopped to talk to a busker with a cat in her guitar case. She's a veteran who just lost her housing by leaving a DV situation. The VA said there was no help before Mon. so we connected her to some resources & got her some food. Nobody else had stopped, just loudly judged having her cat with her.

i've been getting more folks telling me about this and it's not anything i agreed to. it's been stolen like AI steals. please vandalize it if and when you see it.

There it is. Consumer-facing "A.i." companies should never be trusted. Their product is based on theft. I assume their business practices follow. bsky.app/profile/kcg....

Dear hoomans (esp the ween-having variety): Resist the urge to correct others on their feefees. Especially when they’re in the throes. (Who in the actual fk does that 💩? Oh yeah. Shitty ppl. Really fkn shitty ppl who can’t read rooms.)

I am real close to Pythagoras when it comes to beans. Mush in a chewy husk does not a meal make. (Jury’s still out as to whether or not they possess the souls of the dead. If they do, I assure you, the bean souls derive from awful humans.) www.atlasobscura.com/articles/fav...

That recession is here

🆘DON’T KILL🥰MOLLY Little Molly is very afraid. She’s still a puppy & her owner has dumped her in a scary place. Trembling, shaking, seeking exit. This is not Molly’s normal behavior. What she needs is exit from ACC before they kill her. What she needs is love and a home 🙏Repost 2find a🏡

May the loving, powerful force of the multiverse + “G_d” by whatever name you do or do not call it be with you today. May you always seek love over fear. youtu.be/6wHBsMoHFWs

A funny thing is happening to 💊 men around me…they’re actively mocking the genre. (Keep telling other doods yr *real* feelings, fellas. It’s definitely shaking something loose.)

Heard somebody say that “guitar isn’t cool anymore.” I think it’s sad that people would look at it like this. Guitars are cool, saxophone is cool, opera is cool, hip hop is cool, Bach lute suites are cool. Music is just cool and I hope people find a way to enjoy it. #music #musicSky #musiciansky

One rly, rly needs to understand + accept oneself; + acknowledge that most worthy person exists as part not just of the “Blessed Community” of life but also the smaller orbs of sentience that edify us + help us make meaning. Value that + yrself + we’ll b ok. (They call it “communion” for a reason.)

The Academy has banned AI from ever winning an Oscar. • Only roles “demonstrably performed by humans with their consent” can be nominated for acting Oscars • Screenplays “must be human-authored” to qualify for a nomination

This.

It’s like a snap back right into mom-level grief. She cared for him when I couldn’t. He was there by my side when we buried her ashes. Now they are together again. Which should bring me joy. Which will bring me joy, eventually. That day is not today. Today is for missing them both/all. Tremendously.

The thing that makes me angriest about all of this is that life is honestly hard enough. It doesn’t offer frequent reprieves. Ppl are born + pass every minute. Into + out of chaos they had little to no say in creating. It’s so fkn sad, disappointing, + exhausting. (And I just can’t stop crying.)

We made an appointment for tomorrow. There’s no “comfortable” runway left. All good nrg welcome. 💔🐾

I love this story

"Jennifer Kamrass confessed her worries to her therapist: her marriage, her finances, and self-esteem... 2 years later, a transcript of every word Kamrass had typed to her psychologist using the app Talkspace was produced in court by her former employer." 🤬

💥💥💥 Google Allows Pentagon to Use Its AI in Classified Military Work By Katrina Manson Google has reached an agreement with the US Defense Department to allow its artificial intelligence systems to be used for classified military work. @katrinamanson.bsky.social

If it’s difficult for me to get abuelito to take water and food, I can only imagine how hard it is for him. (We got two whole pcs of ham down and we’re holding steady. Yesterday, the lo-salt bacon made an unexpected encore appearance so we aren’t pushing qty but quality.)

Oh look! It’s one of my favorite books! (Rly, anything by Caro is amazing but The Power Broker sets the table.)

Won’t someone rescue or foster *sweet* PEPPER??? 🙏🏼🐾💖

🐾Still just 1 pic for 10-month puppy Charlotte. Surrendered mid April b/c owner said can no longer care for her; owner left no notes. Wiggly, young, good leash-walker, earned 2nd best behavior rating. Loves treats. Caught kennel cough. Needs a foster offer by 4/28: nycacc.app#/browse/252211

So I forget if I've mentioned I own a 2000 Miami-Dade County butterfly ballot voting machine, still with detached chads in it. But, uh, that. By far.

Regardless of feefees, we have a responsibility to condemn political violence of all stripes. It’s a horrible, slippery slope that only descends us into further chaos. Rule of law. Always, siblings. Give Caesar his due. You don’t like the rules? Fkn change em. Legally. W/yah vote + w/yah pens/feet.

I'd start a company that replaces LED streetlights with ones that don't confuse or kill night-flying creatures, for free

That post abt those whales trap feeding wasn’t for kicks. Felt that way abt this space since the forced digital migration. Sticking by my cardinal rule to not be mean. All else (nonviolence, regard for others’ w/different views, basic human respect) follows. Comfort to those affected. Fr ♾️💖🇺🇸

Loved, loved, LOVED managing the thrift shop in college! (Oh the VINTAGE JEWELRY I still have frm my weekly buys!) Definitely would keep some dedicated space in the live/werk/co-own hotel for a community closet (for residents) that doubles as a for-(minimal)-profit public-facing thrift shop.

A puzzle guild. Want to learn how to solve puzzles? Want to learn how to make puzzles? Need a puzzle made for your event or product? Head down to the puzzle guild, the wizards there are always happy to lend a hand. The secret? I'd get people excited about reading and problem solving again.

A cafe called The Flying Saucer. Every table is astronomy themed, as is all the crockery - there are astronomy decorations everywhere. It does soup, pizza, paninis and amazing cake. In one corner there is a little astronomy bookshop. In the evening it doubles as a public science lecture venue.

A machine shop that would have monthly community weekend hours where folks from the neighborhood could get small jobs done for little to no money. Simple quick jobs like a new bronze bushing for a garage door opener or boring out the lens board for a large format camera

A secondhand wedding dress store

A workshop sort of place where electronics, firmware and software sorts could experiment, invent and teach each other all day with no management or deadlines. Eventually product ideas might come out but no pressure. Xerox PARC meets Pixar meets Google 20% time.

Drive-in repertory cinema, open dusk to dawn, the concession stand being a combination burger/hot dog joint and coffee house.
