Hey what’d I miss

Hey guys you’ll never guess what’s been going on in X

Anyone know why it’s suddenly raining in LA?

Have you guys ever wondered how many civilizations and cultures have been wiped off the planet during humanity’s bloody history?

Damn, I missed another bluesky shitstorm

I am literally big in Japan

We still doing these?

Where can I find good matcha and matcha paraphernalia around Marunouchi/Kyobashi/Yurakucho in Tokyo?

I’ve been away a while. What controversies have I missed in the past couple of weeks?

Man, I hope Canoo survives

Gm it’s almost time for blueberries

So you’re telling me a home made these pies?

Remembering the time when I thought the website for the purported uK-Italian electric company “powergenitalia.com” had me laughing for days.

Someone like Kyla Scanlon would contribute high-value, strong vibes content here, but I would also worry about her mental health should she ever join.

People who emphasize they went to the Ivies *as undergrads* know the grad school scam but don’t want to hurt people’s feelings.

Maybe an explanation for why so many Hollywood types seem so hyper-sensitized to identity politics issues is their experiences in a particularly toxic industry. My experiences in tech and law have never been as bad as what I hear about in entertainment.

my god this is just brutal

Turns out that people with rudimentary language skills often angrily demand others write more clearly.

Is it ethical to kill an apex predator for food? Is it ethical to kill an apex predator after it kills *its* food? Is it ethical to kill an apex predator after it kills its food *for* its food? If a tiger kills a cow and I immediately shoo the tiger away can I eat the cow?

Always confused me why they called IRC++ “discord.” Seems like asking for trouble.

I wonder if bluesky is blocked by China’s great firewal yet.

This is wise. Nobody should bother with the oldskies at this point. Just look forward to a brighter future.

Am I the only one whose experience of twitter is superior to bluesky at the moment? The discussions there seem much more sane.

Made a god-tier cup of coffee this morning.

It just occurred to me that an invite-only app like Poaster, which was used primarily by tech bros, self-procolaimed “schizopoasters,” and evidently some sex workers, has never had the kind of issues we’ve seen here recently.

New cult just dropped: Branch Dravidians, led by Mama Store Brand Guy.

This election cycle promises to be hilarious and deeply unsettling

The first and only time I touch grass will be when I enter Elysium 😤

Evidently we need to develop a legal system at the protocol level.

This guy here doesn’t want me to live forever. Mods?

It’s kind of interesting how the Internet keeps generating new examples of why concepts like Due Process and rules of evidence exist, and why there are so many lawyers in America.

Hot take: Americans are the least racist people in the world.

My 4-yr old is sitting on the potty and telling me about her day.

It just occurred to me that people here might assume I’m white lol

+1 on enjoying the custom feeds experience

It's kinda wild seeing people on What's Hot consciously post about the steps as they fall prey to the political-dunk-dopamine cycle. Like watching someone say "What's that white powder? Heroin? Oh, just a little I guess." My siblings in sky: you are the ones who made the last hellsite what it was.

I wonder how many anarcho-communists in Portland live in Beaverton.

I feel bad for this team, trying to build something new while enduring a growing cacophony of whiners. Maybe it’s better to build a sandbox and auto-shunt the crybabies there while completing the protocol.

Why does it seem like “whiteness” is an epithet that describes nice things? Is civilization “white”? What the fuck.

One of my favorite educational experiences of the pandemic was seeing the sheer volume of drop-shipped Alibaba wares sold here as “innovative” “new” “small business” products.

Everyone thinks I’m like 7-10 years younger than I am.

Leetcode made me a better lawyer and person.

For those who haven’t updated their lexicons yet: polite word for “retard” is now “neurodivergent.”

Why are so many progressives so judgmental?

Is there a way to subscribe to lists?

How come, in 2023, it still takes hours to OCR a 1,000-page PDF on a cloud service?

The best charcoal for tabletop grilling is hardwood binchotan. It’s way better than the compressed/extruded briquettes commonly found in typical yakitori joints.

I ate 3 donuts on Saturday and passed out. It felt like my mitochondria died.

Daughter took one bite of the cinnamon raisin bagel I got for her from Whole Foods and told me to do better next time.

I need attention. RT for visibility
