So LinkedIn locked my acct and wants a government ID to unlock it. You know, I have been thinking of leaving that cesspool anyway now that you mention it.

Welcome to the hornets nest motherfuckers. Enjoy your stay.

I didn’t really intend it for this and it makes me sad… but my new Charlotte, NC feed has been really useful in keeping track of ICE fuckery in my area. #charlotte #charlottenc #nc #ice bsky.app/profile/did:...

An excerpt from my journal: “J.J. Abrams is a pretentious, self-righteous git who wouldn’t know a good story if it kicked him in the balls.”

I created a Charlotte, NC Bluesky feed that surfaces local area content. Check it out! #Charlotte #charlottenc #nc #hornets #panthers #charlottefc bsky.app/profile/did:...

Would you look at that

These fucking assholes

Few know it’s actually a command. “Get right to work.”

“For no matter how unhinged the position you’ve taken, or paid someone marginally credentialed to sketch out on your behalf—“Can Woman Think?: We Investigate,” “Is the Negro a Man: A Reconsideration”—that opinion will […] possess all needed evidentiary gravity for the Times.”

This is fucking brilliant, and you should read it: lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

I might've gone a little overboard, but here's 3,500 words on social media, how to make it better, what's so awesome about Bluesky's protocol, and why I'm particularly excited about @leaflet.pub as showing the future of publishing. (Plus some feature suggestions to make Leaflet damn near perfect.)

Wow, that’s such an excellent metaphor. blog.joebasser.com/3m52tr7s75c2...

@leaflet.pub is one of the coolest things I’ve seen on bsky. I’ve always been intrigued by Substack but never used it because I didn’t care for the “walled garden”. I’m perusing leaflets and HOOKED

Cancel Spotify and host a Navidrome server instead. I promise you’ll never miss them.

Took our first family trip to my favorite place - the mountains of NC to see the fall leaves 🍁 Stayed in a really cute cabin by a river and we hit the leaf change timing perfectly! (And traveling with a newborn is the hardest thing I’ve ever done 😅) #autumn #fall #blueridge #mountains #photography

Hanging out at Stage 5 today.

Been a while! I had a baby and have been BUSY. Haven’t had a ton of opportunities to get out but here’s some #photography over the last few months. Outside of “work” work I’ve changed my process a bit so I don’t have to edit so much. I’m using Sony’s picture profiles to get some nice SOOC jpegs.

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who or Transformers.

Freedom from kings. Freedom from fascism. Power to the people forever. ♥️ Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

I moved all the news accounts I followed into a list and unfollowed them yesterday. My intention was just to get a little mental space. A side effect I didn’t consider was that I can see so many more posts of the actual people I follow now. I didn’t realize how much the news spammed my feed.

“It’s a great question…” Is it a great question? Seems like it was a bit of a softball and you’re reading from your notes.

“Preemptive strikes” Goddammit! I’m taking a break, Israel. Didn’t you get the memo??

And to that end, I spent the whole day painting the nursery and just jammed out to music. It was fucking great.

We’re expecting our first kid soon and lately I’ve been feeling like I need to pull away from news and the everything going on to focus on my kid/life/family/mental health. I want off the rat wheel for a while but that feels kind of selfish, ya know?

Remember when casseroles and fruit in jello were the pinnacle of white people home cuisine? Exhibit A for why we should want immigrants to come to the US.

After cheering against DEI on pride month, US troops at Fort Bragg do Trump’s signature “double dick jerk off”dance to the tune of the international gay anthem YMCA while chanting USA.

HAH GOT ‘IM

Protestors are NOT starting violence. The police are straight-up terrorizing regular citizens—LIKE THEY ALWAYS HAVE. We been saying this. Cops do NOT protect us; in fact, they usually do the opposite. In 2020, it seemed like people were starting to hear us. But nope! Here we are. #LAPD #LosAngeles

BREAKING: ICE is preparing to deploy tactical units to five cities run by Democratic leaders, according to two sources familiar with the planning of future ICE operations.

Get your amateur radio license! Being able to throw up a length of wire and get a high frequency transmission out to potentially anywhere in the world is extremely powerful.

Assault on nonviolent citizens

Facts: - Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass both publicly stated they did not request National Guard assistance. - Under normal circumstances, National Guard deployment requires state approval unless the Insurrection Act is invoked, which Trump has not done.

This is a BSG quote I've thought about a lot in recent years, as French law enforcement has become increasingly militarized, and I found myself and my son gassed during a completely peaceful and quiet protest (for a social subject).

We're going to learn some tough stuff today about the White House's proposed budget for fiscal year 2026—including what they have in mind for NASA. I'll share what I hear, but remember: CONGRESS decides how much money NASA gets, not the White House. So whatever happens today, the fight continues.

One of the funniest things in Cyberpunk 2077 is all the trucks will race you when you try to pass them.

I didn’t even know there was an Elder Scrolls: Oblivion remaster in the works. Here goes hundreds more hours into Cyrodiil!

Patiently waiting for The Last of Us episode 2

Be especially skeptical of claims you want to believe.

A spring fairytale

I finally found my tweet from the last time this ridiculous bullshit popped up.🤣

EXACTLY.

Our local #photography shop had a print swap last night and it was so cool. Got three really interesting pieces from equally interesting photographers. I made three 12x18” prints and they went to really good homes. Feeling so rejuvenated and inspired spending time with so many great #artists ❤️
