@thisdaypod.com I really don’t mind some pointers to cool other podcasts but any chance on turning down the number of “you might also like” posts? Between those and archive episodes that’s more than half the feed I have to go in to manually skip.

Hunter Biden has a point. And a quite colorful one.

I still remember how a naive younger version of me was like “oh yeah I totally would like to be on the e-mail list of this candidate I like so I can hear what they’re up to”. Sigh Also love how donating to candidates I believe in means every Dem across the country gets my e-mail address.

Working from an office was really, really healthy for me. It got me out of the house every day. It got me exercising. A 30-45 min walk or bike ride each way was perfect. I had better work/life boundaries. I left my laptop at work. I had more friends. My social batteries were much bigger.

I'll be honest though, I'm pretty irritated with the state of discourse around this topic on bsky. Believe it or not, a lot of people are quitting their remote jobs and looking to return to office. A lot of companies have struggled to make remote teams work. We have something to learn from them.

"So if the media were going to put their thumb on the scale – as they inevitably do – they ought to have done so in defense of democracy, the rule of law and human decency. The failure to do so is playing out in our shattered world." That's by Margaret Sullivan. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Hey guys, do you like plushies & cute aliens? If yes, then you might be interested in this plushie my friend is trying to get made. It's her twitch mascot, Dingle. He's so cute, and she's even cuter. She needs 200 ppl, so if you want to help, that would be amazing. www.makeship.com/petitions/di...

I can’t wait till we have our first “Excel interpreted these protein names as dates” style data error in a scientific paper caused by the researcher asking ChatGPT to write a script that winds up having an error in it.

I’ve had this for so long that I forget not everyone does this, but turn off push notifications on your phone for when you get a new e-mail. Nothing that comes in an e-mail is ever urgent.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Trump take nest egg

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

A lot of people who would have never bothered doing price comparison when shopping for flights because they were so loyal to WN (and probably thought their fares were still competitive) are about to start doing just that and WN is going to lose a ton of loyal customers.

One reason why I think respectability is stupid is because it's often used as a mask. Such judgements are rarely about the clothes themselves, but more often about the bodies beneath them. To wit, no one raised an issue when Elon wore a graphic t-shirt and ball cap to meet the Trump cabinet.

for all of their fawning over the private sector, this would get you (and your boss, and maybe their boss) fired for cause in any business i have ever worked for

Rest in peace, Professor Shoup (1938-2025) We will keep up the good work. Share your stories and thoughts with the parking reform community here: parkingreform.org/donald-shoup

Reminder: Israel is so dysfunctional that it has had five elections in the last six years. It recently failed to stop the biggest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. The idea that these people control your own country is a cope by folks who are bad at politics and don't get how it works.

USAID matters. I've often disagreed with their strategy and choices, but their work saves more lives than any philanthropy can. It's a rounding error in the federal budget, and one of the best things we do as a country. To see it destroyed overnight by one unelected man is an unmitigated horror.

Some random barely even official federal employees without a security clearance forced their way into systems with classified information (which I’m sure one of them will spill some day) and put on leave anyone who tried to stop them. But Dems are still talking about tariffs.

Opened the SF Chronicle app today and found three different stories of traffic violence from around the bay in like 2 minutes.

You are showing your entire ass by calling TikTok “a dancing app” in the year 2025

Honestly love to see people who developed a preconceived notion of what’s on the platform without having actually tried to engage with the communities on it. Bluesky also has a lot of people peddling obviously untrue things but imagine if we held those people up as the examples of this site.

If TikTok gets unbanned we’re all gonna get back and all the people from other countries are going to have some new trend. Everyone is going to be all “but the potatoes are mad!!!! Hahahahaha” and we’re going to be so confused

You may not believe in the climate change, but your insurance company does.

This literally happened to me when my $7k cargo bike got stolen in 2021. I had the listing online where my bike was being fenced in SF and someone had texted me the address of the seller. Both MVPD and SFPD basically told me to pound sand.

Good evening to everyone but the multiple impatient right-turning drivers today who chose to creep toward me while I was crossing the street rather than wait five seconds

If a child runs into the road and a driver doesn't see them, perhaps the driver was going too fast or perhaps there is not enough daylighting. But also, kids dart! They should be able to do kiddie things without getting killed.

Baldur’s Gate 3: This is a super urgent situation! We have to stop this guy! Me: -takes a long rest-

Spain is the only place where they get Vosferatu

i feel like everyone needs a regular reminder that a lot of the worst names in tech were humanities students, not STEM students

every account i've ever had anywhere is just me shouting into the void. it's not my fault the void wants to be my friend

Do the new electric Caltrains not have luggage rack cars? Asking for someone (me) taking the train to the airport with a large bag.

The Animorphs Queen is on Bluesky!

an underrated cause of post-pandemic chaos in the U.S. is that a lot of cops, when faced with the slightest bit of scrutiny, simply stopped doing their jobs. same thing happened in San Francisco often with deadly consequences

I hope it was the piss humidifier

Hunter Here’s the reality. No USAtty would have charged this case given the underlying facts. After a 5 year investigation the facts as discovered only made that clear Had his name been Joe Smith the resolution would have been - fundamentally and more fairly - a declination Pardon warranted

You get 20 extra characters on Bluesky which is great because it means, when you copy your old tweets into Bluesky you can always add “THUS SPOKE THE LICH!” to the end and it will still fit.

cities arent big, parking lots are this is how much of Rome fits here

“left of center people should be nicer online” is just not a useful, productive, or, even more importantly, *actionable* framework through which to view politics.

Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont... It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.

I am trying to be patient because I 100% get that people are terrified but I am really struggling with all this knee-jerk public defeatism from other liberals and leftists right now
