is this about "chemtrails"? lol. y'all have elected some serious boneheads in florida. what a shithole.

I am on a budget billing plan with RG&E until next spring at which point I'm sure I will have an eye-popping settle-up bill. @schumer.senate.gov please enquire as to why the president is cancelling energy projects and driving up electricity costs. I even give you permission to cuss about this.

bill nye putting "SMELL GIBSON" on the tee vee in 1997. ahead of his time. wizard. my kids understand zero references on this show.

Why not just get somebody else to bear the cross for you? Uber for cross-bearing?

"I'm here to cuss and send strongly worded letters... and I'm all out of cussin' on account of that one time I said FUCKING in a skeet last week… so I guess I'll just type up this meeting invite." — Charlton Useless Schumer III

I just started reading this book to my kids – using my very best "robotic technical manual" voice – and they completely lost it. They would not let me stop reading it, and bedtime was a disaster... but that's a parenting issue I suppose. Here it is on @bookshop.org: bookshop.org/p/books/the-...

every time our country does one more swirl around the drainpipe i see folks on here posting non-"serious" things… art, hobbies, pets… you know, "joy"… and i think "don't they know about THE THING" and then i realize they live in a non-drain-swirling country and they're having a pretty great time.

its a tiny thing, but why aren't all the "get off my lawn" old men angry about the president wearing a hat in the white house? can you imagine? i would immediately burst into flames if i set foot in a public building with a hat on. CHURLISH.

would love to see data on how much inflation the big retailers chose to eat during the previous administration.

brb using AI to make NFTs. soon i will be a god.

we're also going to paint a fake tunnel on the border wall so that some folks unknowingly run into it whilst exclaiming "meep meep".

i hate every word of this headline. i wish this were the onion. www.kcl.ac.uk/news/toothpa...

rewatching _Bill Nye the Science Guy_ w/ my kids and now I have to explain why I chuckled when he said the word "backboners" on this episode about invertebrates.

this plus tim apple's pathetic ass-kissing has put an indefinite hold on my desire to purchase an apple watch.

just tell him aliens did it. this isn't hard. the guy still thinks we didn't land on the moon. "jfk faked the epstein files to cover up blah blah blah... " come on people.

I made a typeface, it's called Flexflex 🔠 I've been working on this project on-and-off for many months. Very happy to finally release it! Flexflex is a typeface that responds to spatial requirements rather than imposing them. Website: ronikaufman.github.io/flexflex

urge to shake my trump-voting neighbors by their collars whilst shouting and pointing at the headlines: 📈

sorry i sent your call straight to voicemail @katmabu.bsky.social but i don't know how to use a telephone.

not sure what took me so long. please stop making jeff bezos happy.

It's "interesting" that the two main customers of visual generative AI are fascist propagandists and advertisers. NOT GOOD.

#NoKings in Marion, NY way outside of #RochesterNY … guessing about 200 people along Main Street in this unincorporated hamlet of 1500.

Worth noting regarding road damage concerns... it's hard to tell exactly (shot from multiple angles... commercial breaks) but in this 1991 parade it looks like there's around 4–8 tracked vehicles total. There will be many more than that today.

Did you know there's a whole set of Ziploc (TM) brand fingerman Pogs (TM) out there? What a world! www.milkcapmania.co.uk/820-ZipLoc-F...

4 hours of CNN from the 90s, 1 Wolf Blitzer, 1 Tom Hanks, 1 Mitch Fucking McConnell, 6 or 7 otters, 2 giant shoulder pads, 1 Dr. Fauci, 1 Regis. Follow along for some "historical context" before ignoring tomorrow’s vanity parade. cc: the only historian I know on here @kevinmkruse.bsky.social

I've just uploaded a VHS of CNN covering the June 8, 1991 "National Victory Celebration" parade (and surrounding programming). I'll try to thread some highlights this afternoon but be sure to check out this brown-haired military affairs correspondent "Wolf Blitzer"? 🏛️ archive.org/details/nati...

anyways i heard (and barely saw) a weirdo new bird the other day... a green heron and its strange song (first sound clip here: www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Green_...). it's pretty creepy sounding!

wondering how much of the alleged "bluesky slowdown" is just folks not wanting to post "insignificant" things whilst their world turns to a dangerous garbage pile.

old enough to remember raw milk being "elitist liberal" coded. imagine michelle obama pushing folks to drink $16 a gallon milk for their health. OUT OF TOUCH.

maybe tell FEMA?

I too got married at Rochester city hall (not by the mayor though!) and would heartily recommend. It is a lovely space. Congrats Sam and Tim!

what if we band together and hire 1 person to pet the cows for us? and what if — get this — what if they were actually qualified to judge the safety of food systems?!

telling everybody on tiktok that this is the “jesus glow” folks are talking about.

"Maybe children will have two breakfasts per month instead of thirty, and maybe they'll be a little more expensive."

i don't even trust AI to write accurate documentation for beep-boopin' at computers. what the hell is wrong with these people? arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

you're telling me that this domestic abuser is *also* abusive at work? i bet he was employee of the month at fox news though!

$5k baby bonus will pay for... ~6 months of child care? can somebody tell me do babies need care for longer than six months i'm trying to budget a baby.

A few photos from today's 50501 protest at MLK Park in Rochester, NY. Good crowd and speakers (@marylupienroc.bsky.social pictured here), big march with lots of energy. Only 1 upset motorist and the organizers deescalated really well (he left w/ a hug). 👏🏻✊🏻👏🏻 #50501Movement #RochesterNY #ROC

This is really going to hurt the Fast Ferry.

new age rhymes with sewage.

we've met some good friends flying our pride flag out here in rural western new york. we put it up on june 1 every year and the kids are very excited every time. i hope it makes some of our neighbors feel welcome.

HARD DRIVES ARE ALSO "70 yr old technology for information storage" YOU DONKEYS

marching up culver to monroe. some inevitable street spillover and traffic disruption but protesters were chill, motorists were overwhelmingly supportive. #HandsOff #RochesterNY #ROC

#HandsOff #RochesterNY #ROC it's hard to convey just how many people showed up. it was a constant stream filling the field at cobb's hill. huge.

#RochesterNY showed up today... pics when i can blur some faces #ROC

Humorous Publication Really Funny Except for This One Thing I Care About

you and i can't give water to somebody waiting in line to vote. meanwhile...

this paragraph could be less clunky, but i'd bet a dollar it's mostly awkward because it's accurately summarizing a shitty situation that some product manager created.

tonight’s olive oil dinner rolls, featuring the greenest olive oil I have ever seen from @robinsloan.com‘s fat.gold oilmail delivery service. USE IT UP.
