The people on the website for 38 year olds: what do you mean I am not up to date with the current pop culture, that cannot be right, I am still hip and cool just like I was in my 20s. (The correct reason to shit on this list is that the number one song came out in 2024. It IS amazing though.)

This is one of those things that I hope isn't true because the implications are Very Bad, but... Did a lot of the current image problems with the Democratic Party start with House of Cards, whose villain protagonist was a Democrat?

I'm a big fan of someone who has read exactly two sentences that I've ever written telling me what I think about unrelated topics, also known as the Bluesky Experience.

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

you know how people always say "oh haha I put off doing this admin task for ages and ages and turns out it was fine and took no time" well I put off doing *this* admin task for weeks and actually it fucking sucks and it's taking soooo long, it's hateful, so there

I feel like both sides of this argument are correct, it just depends on where you measure from. 1975? Oh yeah the past is terrible and you don't want to go back. 2005? You don't know what they've taken from you.

I just wish more leaders were ashamed, and more artists angry.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

i’m ready for something different than whatever the fuck this is

All media is propaganda and nobody, on any political side, with any epistemology, is immune to propaganda. But like, social media websites? They are the most propaganda.(This definitely includes TikTok, but it also includes any other site on the internet where people can post things)

The promise of AI chat assistants: they solve 90% of the problems users have (by looking up the docs and telling them) My reality: need to spend 10 minutes trying to get to a human, to solve an issue I need customer support to look into Around minute 8 I sign up to a competitor

The only answer is, whatever they want.

It’s very hard to do coalition politics when each part of the coalition spends as much time lobbing grenades at each other as they do republicans

When I'm trying to decide who to vote for and what the government has done for me lately, the first place I look is the White House website and the blog of the Council of Economic Advisors. I am a normal American who likes sports and definitely not some weird alien.

It's a good idea. It runs into the same problem as the equivalent fix for healthcare though. We need like, a lot more lawyers (and doctors), and between the cost + time to train and professional protectionism, we will not get them.

I wish Bluesky had a feature where if one person reposted post X and you already saw it, you dont also see the same repost from other people too. I know you can hide posts, and i do, but i only do it once i had already gotten actively annoyed by seeing the same post over and over.

But anyone who says that they're coming for elections is dooming, they can't possibly be coming for the elections.

I pay for games, but calling people whiny babies if they don't is largely the same thing as RIAA "you wouldn't download a car" propaganda from the dotcom era. Music piracy is mostly dead, not because people are better, but because we fixed the market dynamics that caused it.

If I worked at the glass bridge rock dropping ad selling factory I’d probably fantasize about my product getting loose and exterminating humanity too I suppose.

Enjoying the For You feed? Give it a like ♡ to help more people discover it: bsky.app/profile/did:... The more people use it -> the more feedback we get -> the better we can make it for you.

ironically this wasted even more time, but by GOD it felt nice

it's Jean Baudrillard's world, and we can't quite tell if we're living in it or not and it's driving us kind of insane

grow up. listen to ambient or hip-hop

society has evolved past the need for "trip-hop"

I have shut down the government that was in the U.S. and which you were probably relying on for important services Forgive me restricting healthcare was delicious so elite and so cold

[0.8 seconds after arbitrarily opening a bible to somewhere in 2 samuel] damn this is dope! shout out to god

That we continue to persist at all is a testament to our faith in one another.

I have got to stop befriending the demonic entities that whisper to me from beyond the veil

my hottest take is that a car dependent society is the worst thing for cars i believe a civilization where no one is required to have one would result in cars that are built for fun rather than affordability and practicality

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

But like hardest, most stressful job I ever had in my career was when I was a busboy at a busy restaurant and making $6/hour+$75 in tips a night. Nothing I've done since compares

We're +570%.

Well, better a dead American than a live Trumper.

under this language charlie kirk would not have been allowed to speak on clemson’s campus

Nietzsche explicitly predicted that it would take 200 years for the despair of a Godless world to crash down upon us. It turns out that Nietzsche, of all thinkers, was too optimistic.

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

this is now outdated information

I just think it's worth reiterating that this content free, vibes-based, know-nothing grievance based approach to election analysis was the thing Nate opposed in creating 538! Like, he has literally become the thing he started his career to oppose. It's amazing.

I think one of the things people misunderstand about being anti-ChatGPT and related products is that they are being forced into institutions and other products and services in ways that affect all of our lives whether they work or *not* and we will all have to deal with the consequences

In 25 years, every business school in the country will be doing case studies about how a long defunct company known as “Google” once had an unbeatable lock on online information retrieval and then started doing shit like this.

I think over time the United States will come to regret electing as President a serial pedophile.

mario MUST fuck

While progressives often get accused of undermining the Democratic Party, the evidence shows that it’s the moderate wing that most often violates the “Vote Blue No Matter Who” principle. https://trib.al/W6lqYEu

yeah I don't want to be represented by Ken Paxton, someone who is potentially the worst person to ever hold office in America - and I am not joking here - so I am very disinterested in your Collin Allred takes

<hallucinating from migraine> all programming languages are either c, assembly, or cobol. rust? a c. webasm? clearly assembly. python? believe it or not, cobol.

*whispers* liberals and leftists making alliances to take power away from centrists is good, actually
