All of Bluesky this morning:

I do not like your AI slop I do not want this worthless glop I do not read its overviews I don't care what Grok says is true I do not like it here nor there I'm tired of it everywhere

I'm sorry, is the Rick Steves website recommending that I eat a leek by itself as a part of my Wales trip?

FYI, if you make less than 67K USD a year or are disabled, you can get your taxes done for free by VITA volunteers. The IRS works with them to ensure they know what they're doing. You can find your nearest one here: https://freetaxassistance.for.irs.gov/s/sitelocator

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

Man ~ "Shitty dudes are doing shitty dude things" is such an evergreen headline.

What fictional creature/villain traumatized you as a child? (among others)

I LOVE The Substance to the point of obsession. I can't remember the last time I watched a movie and knew everyone involved was at the top of their game. Directing, cinematography, acting, effects...just phenomenal.

i feel like one thing that we should be making abundantly clear from now on is that the majority of anti-trans consent manufacturers are goddamn pedophiles. are you going to believe what a bunch of pedophiles say about us? what does that say about you?

*EPSTEIN* knew Trump was bad news and we still couldn't get rid of his ass?

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries. No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

Holy crap I did it #OwainandHenry

Watching Michael Sheen cook on Food Fight Club and skipping the Jamie Oliver bits and...is chili a different thing in the UK than it is in the US? Because I wouldn't call what he makes at the beginning chili. Wouldn't put porcini mushrooms in a chili either. Or serve it over brown rice.

Coloring because I'm still a sick puppy

Watched Wolfen (1981) today. Visually gorgeous movie. Not sure about its overall perspective. Also Albert Finney and Diane Venora had friendly chemistry, but not romantic. Wish they'd kept it that way.

Watched #GrizzlyMan yesterday and I think Timothy Treadwell's attitude is just another flavor of "I should keep a big cat/chimp as a pet, it won't hurt me if it knows me." At least he knew bears belonged in the wild and not his house.

Cool, tested positive for COVID.

I learned today that gorillas sing while they eat and sing louder when it's one of their favorite foods, so excuse me as I sing "PIZZAAAAA this pizza is so GOOOOOOD"

I actually love hearing other languages. There are so many of them and they’re beautiful. Getting mad about it is a skill issue. And to be clear, that skill is empathy.

Good Night #silliness #art #bird

Post a witch

Was no one going to tell me "The Night that the Lights Went Out in Georgia" was about murder inspired by serial adultery?

I am on a surreal animated short film kick so if anyone has any suggestions feel free to send them my way.

I legitimately want to work on writing today but Bucky has decided he wants to be on my lap and fart instead.

A good reminder, since SNAP benefits aren’t going to be paid out in ten days… If you think you see someone stealing food, NO THE FUCK YOU DIDN’T.

I realize I'm already primed for dark humor (thanks, childhood trauma!) but Delicatessen (1991) really resonated with me today and I wanted to note it as something that kinda helped.

It is the Jeffery Edward Epstein ballroom and I want you to remember that!

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Ah, so Trump pictures himself as these guys. Got it.

Kegtoberfest flows ever onward, like the mighty Tigris and Euphrates rivers... So, hey! This guy, right? #comics #comicart #oc #lovecraft

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Yeah, sex is good and all, but have you listened to the version of the Finale Trio from R. Strauss's Der Rosenkavalier with Renee Fleming, Kathleen Battle, and Frederica von Stade from the New Years concert in 1992 conducted by Claudio Abbado?

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Partner, perusing a piece of paper: Hmm. Hmmm. Yep, I'm finding this really boring. Me: It's my birth certificate, what did you expect?

Raffaele Esposito?

I realize it's really early, but much of my joy recently has been related to #Cardiff trip planning, so if you have any must-trys, must-visits, or must-eats from that city, go ahead and reply with it.

Transphobes don't wash their hands after going to the toilet, pass it on.

I'm salty that this album is not available on Spotify. www.youtube.com/watch?v=CwXP...

I have wasted a lot of time at work and in general scrolling social media so I've uninstalled the Bluesky and Instagram apps on my phone. If I'm not posting as often, this is one reason why.

Today is apparently suicide prevention day and I want to remind people: UBI is suicide prevention. Universal health care is suicide prevention. Mental health care is suicide prevention. Patient advocacy and adequate disability resources are suicide prevention. Gun control is suicide prevention.

They've lost the 9yos

Updates: doing strength training exercises with 10 pound weights as my average and 15 pounds at the high end when I basically started from nothing. Also I have decided that I will regret not seeing Michael Sheen in a play at some point so it's time to start some solo international trip planning.

My mom might have taken Tylenol when she was pregnant, but regardless, I now know all the lyrics to all the songs from VeggieTales

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.
