While I was playing around videoing airplanes flying under the aurora last night, I had my other camera taking stills. Here's 1661 stills connected covering 55 actual minutes. The bright, fast moving streaks are the airplanes. I sped this up faster than normal because we all have swiping to do.

this is literally never not accurate

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I wanna get some swag that says "SOUND OFF against homophonia"

If the government's shut down, does that mean I can stop paying for it?

I hate it when people

You know, if Pepe can change his ways, anyone can.

In case the News Media, GOP, Republican voters, or anyone else was wondering, I know the exact date that political violence became normalized. February 13, 2021 This is the date the Senate failed to convict Donald Trump for the January 6th insurrection.

Customs: Are you visiting for work or pleasure? Hooker: Yes.

I'm beginning to think that GOP really stands for Genital-Obsessed Pedophiles... 🤔

How's this for the opening line of my Bible fan fic? "Jesus was a carpenter, so I knew he could handle wood."

Pronouns come with larger screens and more memory than regular nouns.

Someone should really do something about the armed gangs of masked men illegally kidnapping people off the street. They seem to be targeting certain communities of people, so they might be able to be prosecuted as hate crimes and possibly terrorist activities.

Realized in chat today that the corollary to FAST (Free Ad-support Streaming Television) like Tubi & Pluto is ASSS (Ad-Subsidized Subscription Streaming) like the lower tiers of Disney+, Netflix, Prime Video & others. The acronym also describes the end-user experience on those paid+ad platforms.

I can't recall the last time (or any time?) I've seen companies trying so hard to push out products that undermine their own usefulness. I feel like AI companies have taken the idea of continuous improvement/continuous deployment too far. (Especially since the improvement part seems so lacking.)

It should never be assumed that some who's accumulated money or power is competent at anything other than accumulating money or power.

Immaculate decorating. The bathroom is the best.

Remember, kids, global variables are bad. Unless you use OO and wrap it in a Singleton. Then it's okay.

@bixlee.bsky.social , shouldn't it be "ALT-BIXLEE (real) and 40 others", so it's 41 total? (Yeah, I'm gonna be *that* guy.)

we're living through one of the greatest technological revolutions in the history of mankind and it's not AI

Video captured the moment a road buckled and sent a car flying as a heatwave impacted Missouri on Sunday.

(1/14) So, I'm not a foodist, but... did you know that there are people who eat their fries with ranch?

The idea that conservative ideology should be equally represented in everything is ironically a very liberal idea

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

Your heartening video for the day...

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

It really does look like inflation from COVID is giving everyone the middle finger.

Even Fox News's polling results are predominantly unfavorable for Trump. www.foxnews.com/official-pol...

I've had issues for a while with what I feel is the unnecessary complexity (and lately security issues) of making everything into a computer or internet-attached, but I didn't think about the accessibility issues... youtube.com/shorts/b8uyx...

This just in: far right spokesman claims trans fats are "woke," and that Jesus would only have approved of monounsaturated fats.

“Department of Government Efficiency.”

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

This is a great example of how liberal and progressive leaders can demystify concepts that are being railroaded by conservative narratives. youtube.com/watch?v=bx62...

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

i don't know why i made this

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

The Trump horror show continues. But I bring you these small reasons for modest hope to remind you that there are still some cause for optimism. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/twelve-small-reasons-for-modest-hope

Three House Republicans. Four Senate Republicans. That's it. That's the math.
