everyone deserves to be seen and loved by their friends and everyone is capable of having that and it starts by trying to do that for them (and your neighbor and any type of service worker etc etc) any way I love you all

“male loneliness epidemic” hyvee has $4 bouquets. try harder

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

Been waiting a month for some #CocoaButterPaints & they arrived today. Tomorrow I get to test them out. They also sent me a 7 oz jar instead of a 1.7oz jar, so fuckyeahBonus!! worth the wait for that deal. Now I can do trials w/ less fear of wasting product.

The acronym having America misspelled is certainly on the nose. #TRUMPAMIERICA

"This promise of an AI future, is really just a collective anxiety that wealthy people have about how well they're gonna be able to control us in the future." - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social with an absolute mic drop moment about AI bullshit. Incredible words. Listen to all of it!

Some groups know the target audience is enamored with the performance. Mr. McClellan does a great job discussing that concept right off the get go.

I 100% recommend this too all the fucking pricks who have that kind of money & think a bunker is the thing to spend it on. I wish them a very merry AI experience by themselves.

I have seen people do stuff in MSPaint you wouldn’t believe. The only limitation is your own lack of imagination, and the Plagiarism Machine isn’t gonna help with that.

I’ve talked with district administrators and we’re going to keep the GoFundMe going through the end of the month to make this as meaningful as possible. If you can help, please do, but a share to get more eyes on our efforts is incredible too.

I've taken many calls from white males who believe they've been discriminated against at work for their race/sex. The number of these calls that are so fucking stupid easily rounds up to "all of them."

*examines nails* Oh honey, you don’t have THAT kind of money…

When you don't think you can do a home improvement job, remember, it is all in the finishing. Look at the baseboard in the JD post-couch pic. That is in the FUCKING WHITEHOUSE. Whomever made the addition/repair left it like that - mid-wall. You can repair lots o things in your house, it'll be fine.

Sometimes I'm curious what RF these things run off of. If I recall the RC car racing circuit had to use different frequency chips, model airplane - same. Do these drones use RF like the old RC cars/planes? Are they similar to off-the-shelf drones where there is line-of-sight, or signal issues?

KC artist @shoelais.bsky.social channeled the spirit of Strega Nona and “performed” direct action. Literally. Food scarcity is out of control & when she looked at her abundance of pasta, she knew the only answer was to share. 📸 Photos by @countwhorlok.bsky.social

This is a good thread.

*Starves 1/2 the refugees in an area. "Yes, I've finally become the big purple guy in that Marvel snappy finger movie. I'm soooo big. Such a big boy!!!" ~probably

I am BEGGING you all to stop sharing that bullshit Compact Mag piece on the white dude who didn’t get hired by Brown because he was too RETVRN about the Roman military. The writer is a full time ticket scalper who has one beat: white-man grievance. $20 says the whole article is a work of fiction.

Bro, sorry to hear lamp doesn't love you back. Ouch. Don't worry, ask JD if maybe he has a spare couch you can crash... uh, you know what, maybe don't ask JD.

/2 Also, if there were a law making it illegal to make someone irritable by saying stupid things, I maintain that only Imran Ahmed, and not Bluesky, should be liable for that post.

TIL Brazil has "Cloud Forests", & they have orange toadlets.

Always to cool to see the winners from the @asm.org Agar Art Contest 🧪🐡🦠 asm.org/press-releas...

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

Test run of a reindeer treat. Goal 1: make reindeer : check. I think it turned out pretty well. I thought the antlers would work, but the pretzel pieces are too big for both a neck and pretzel. Test 2 will be to add the antlers and stick the head to the body via chocolate as the glue. Tail?

If you want to do something like this, why not buy a $150k home in a small town in Italy, France, Spain, or Mexico, instead of having nine people share one bathroom after they eat at a restaurant called "Stinky's?"

Dropped off over a hundred beanie babies. Gonna be some happy kids. Hope I got them there w/ enough time for their Christmas packages. #OperationBreakthrough

Late night ink dropper sketch

now that megaman 12 has a release date we can finally confirm that clarissa explains it all takes place in the year 2027

I can see the World Cup invitations are really heating up. Those ticket prices are gonna go thru the roof w/ policies like these.

Super fun seeing a search query show results for an unrelated email conversation instead of the actual terms I searched for. Just bc I got an email about a thing doesn't mean I want that fucking thing. If I wanted it, I'd you know, type that into the search bar!

Lol. classic Tim

Not sure what its going to take for any D w/ any distribution channel to use the words along the lines of "Republican's in Congress have finally created the death panels they've been yearning for."

Time is owned by Marc Benioff, the CEO of Salesforce, which is currently trying to sell its AI tool to ICE in order to triple their recruitment. just a thing I think about sometimes while I’m at work, implementing his product for nonprofits.

bnuy

This is a good point. I couldn't get fixed w/o the PC doc referral & even then he told me to wait a year (I might change my mind). Luckily the vet was running a special & me and marmalade got fixed the same day.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

I guess Toaster Strudel is in an open relationship now. Out there advertising they are "air fryer ready". Looking for another appliance to heat things up? #StrudelSwinging

I don't think we bother debunking this in A City on Mars, because it was less prominent a few years ago. But for ideas like this, you should always ask yourself something like "wait, wouldn't it be cheaper in Canada?"

LOL "Kansas", also LMAO "who could have predicted": "the host cities - Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas, Los Angeles...signing up to contracts where they bore most of the costs, with limited access to tournament revenue, but on the understanding this could be made up by the new programme."

The robots are gonna steal our money

This is incredible.

We really do need to re-normalize the idea of calling out shitty people to their faces and then refusing to engage with their idiocy. We’re not products for you to milk, Chad! We’re not content cows!! Try acting like a normal fucking person!!!

He had a revelation on the road to de-mask us

Here's Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) raging about Missouri's elections being "decided in California" in response to an article about Missourians protesting a gerrymandering petition in California -- except the article is about the town of California in Missouri.

Shadow of the Colossus (2005)

This is the way. Do they "need" 300k? Yes. Yes they do. They need 3x more than required bc we've seen time and time again that the folks in charge do not want specific things on the ballot & will try anything to remove these initiatives.
