A lot of stuff is totally overdeveloped these days. Why didn't developers stop when something worked? Why always making things worse by trying to make things better, even when it's working perfectly alright? If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Bro... wait until you try to set up a sound bar.... CEC, HDMI, Pass-through ughhh why can't things just work

Since when has brightness been an 'advanced' setting? It used to just be a knob on the front of the set.

Visiting my parents at a house with two LG smart TVs and they asked me how to do things to the TVs (‘Make it make normal TV’ and ‘turn the brightness up’) and I am stunned and humiliated to announce I couldn’t accomplish either task

sort of wild that the government shutting down is among the least shocking things that have happened in the last few weeks

at least one federal case against an Elon Musk company is stayed during the shutdown - www.plainsite.org/dockets/down... EEOC v Tesla

Jane Goodall was a global legend at the forefront of discovery — breaking through barriers for women in primatology, science, and beyond. Her curiosity, strength, and kindness changed the world, bridging countries and cultures in pursuit of a better future.

“”A lot of the words that are coming to me aren’t fit to print,” said Shah, policy director for..a veterans advocacy organization. “The people in that room who have served for 20, 30-plus years in uniform do not need Pete Hegseth to tell them about warrior ethos”” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

So sad to hear of Jane Goodall's passing. I was fortunate to meet her over 14 years ago when she visited Cambridge. Her legacy in conservation, anthropology, animal rights, and science in general will live on! Hoot hoot!

Unlike the Mum who's doing all the work, I get very stressed at feeding time, especially when chicks fall out of the nest. 🐣🐣🥚 #367Collins #PeregrineFalcons

Three global banks are being paid to obscure who profits from 51 fossil fuel projects in Australia that produce 22m tonnes of carbon emissions each year, according to new analysis Australia that could be reducing the amount of scrutiny investors face for financial support of the fossil fuel industry

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940. The money is going to be used *against* you.

jane goodall made me believe i could just go up and hug any wild animal

Deeply disappointed to hear that the Israeli Navy illegally stopped the Global Sumud Flotilla 75 miles off the coast of Gaza. This was a non-violent mission to break the IDF’s horrifying siege and deliver food and medicine to those who need it most.

Love hearing an NPR reporter repeat Vought's line about "unconstitutional DEI principles" with nary a query about what the fuck that actually means. At some point we need journalists to make this administration explain some of these batshit utterances.

Tell you what if you’re going to adopt a religion or convert, this Japanese gear is pretty cool, Shintoism and Buddhism often get conflated but that doesn’t seem to worry a lot of people & it’s all about respect and reverence and spirit gods and giving back to the planet, better than our shit ones.

More of this journalism, please. #Shutdown

I think we need to stop making movies about dystopian futures. We keep giving too many ideas to guys that thought the Eye of Sauron would be cool as long as it was theirs.

I remember watching a documentary about her work on chimpanzees going to war with each other. The planning and organisation was incredible. www.smh.com.au/environment/...

Paul too but someone else can be the CTO I would rather try to swim in lava

The Aurora will be good this weekend.

When your president and everyone in the administration is emotionally and intellectually 12 years old, it can be hard to figure out where their confidence comes from. In usa ’s case it stems from Miller being emotionally and intellectually *13* years old - a teen! That’s why they feel unstoppable.

next y’all are going to try to convince me that tarzan is dead too

My Dad asked me why I don't become a politician and this video is a clear example because there is no universe in which I could remain calm and smiling in the face of this bullshit. Mamdani is so controlled and engaging and THAT, to me, is what a politician should be. He's FANTASTIC! 💖

This is Ruby. She likes to pet the other dogs at daycare. 14/10 extremely relatable (TT: alanahlorraine)

Jasmine Crockett for Attorney General in 2028.

One of my favorite anecdotes from THE PREHISTORY OF THE FAR SIDE: "That doesn't sound like the Jane Goodall we know."

Patent pledge just dropped.

I don't know what the chimpanzee equivalent of a high five might be, but Jane Goodall is due a thousand of them. What an amazing life. Good game, Jane. Thank you for inspiring us all.

Oh no... RIP 🙁💜

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

“Don’t be fat, bullying is ok again, buy my book”

Oh dang while I'm giving shoutouts @graze.social just also launched a banger new website, well done @devingaffney.com www.graze.social

The team is cooking on some things, including a “zen mode” that can serve as a feature gate for a bundle of settings that turn down the volume on outrage and toxicity. More on the product direction: bsky.social/about/blog/0...

My favourite Barry Cryer story is his account of Nicholas Parsons asking Ross Noble who his favourite comedian was. "Richard Pryor" Noble replied, "Genius! So sad he set himself on fire while freebasing crack cocaine". Parsons, visibly upset, asked Barry later: "did you hear about Richard Briers?"

Sorry we had to cancel your cancer treatment, but the Secretary of Defense had to fly all the generals in so he could call them fat.

The Royal Society has met to discuss Elon Musk – and they’re NOT removing his fellowship. They are criticising him publicly, but stopping short of actual removal. This feels like the kind of compromise that will please *absolutely nobody*.

The whole world agrees that Israel and the US are committing a genocide. Now Palestinians are being asked to accept a deal that gives the US and Israel full control with no guarantees of peace. Israel has broken the ceasefire in Lebanon hundreds of times and attacked 6 countries in 2 yrs.

damn why is this so much cooler than the bsky site

"Trump not only lets missiles fall on young people in the Caribbean; he not only imprisons and chains migrants, but he also allows missiles to be launched at children, young people, women, and the elderly in Gaza ... He becomes complicit in genocide—because it is genocide, and we must shout it."
