If I watch a video on Bluesky is there a secret way to make it go away that is not force-quitting the app? Am I too dumb to figure this out? Please advise.

Pitching Pantone's colour of the year:

"Omakase" is a restaurant term that is German for "Grandmother cheese."

I will NEVER learn who Olivia Nuzzi is no matter how much you people post cryptic weird jokes about her. I won’t do it!

Is everyone having a good proxy war?

I hate to put it this way but anyone not rooting for the Bluejays is basically pro Trump.

Today’s NYT Crossword was bullshit. If you made it, we're fighting.

Ronald Reagan found Donald Trump annoying & avoided him. Trump spent years trying to reach him and failed, Reagan saw him as a loudmouthed rich moron with a large ego, and wanted nothing to do with him. Trump stood in line to get his picture taken with him at a meet & greet.

this headline hums with ancient autumnal dread

Grok, what’s a metaphor?

I made a pen today.

This might be the most tone deaf thing I’ve seen a CEO post and I collect things like this for training.

This week has convinced me that Bluesky, regrettably, does not have the juice.

The world is a trash fire but today my extremely reactive dog met another dog on a walk and said hi without freaking out and that’s the only thing that matters to me for the moment.

This clip (from 2022) now feels STRANGELY relevant... 😬

Gizmo found a dance partner.

Can someone explain to me why Americans seem to all pronounce turmeric as "toomeric?" I assumed it was just a common mispronunciation, but I honestly don't think I've ever heard anyone other than Canadians and Brits pronounce the first R.

Okay y'all need to put a trigger warning on posts quoting Love You Forever. I did not come here to feel feelings.

To @moderation.bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @bsky.app : this vile story by the New York Post is actively attempting to incite mass violence against a vulnerable minority. The New York Post must not be permitted to remain on this service.

The government won't let me be a bank and I'm a shitty boss who nobody wants to work for!

Has any app ever enshittified harder than Evernote?

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

I taught my puppy to go find his Kong and bring it to me wherever it is in the house and I'll be fucked if it’s not the cutest goddamn thing in the world.

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Me: Hey this tool looks interesting and might solve a problem that I have in my work. How much is it? Every Enterprise SaaS product: ITSSS a SSSSSSEEECRETT....

I was in Chicago and my wife wanted to go to some boutique. When we got there it was closed because there was a flood, so Joan Cusack had to tell us that they were closed for the day. I wished her good luck in getting it fixed, before I realized who she was.

They should make a The Bear where everyone is nice to each other.

A weird thing about tv right now is that every show has to have a throw away plot point explaining why three characters are suddenly skinny.

First hot pepper of the season is the weirdest one I’ve ever tasted. Incredibly sweet, like a jalapeño dipped in sugar, and sooo much hotter than it’s supposed to be. Varietal is called Bryans Blood. 🌱

AI will do whatever you ask it to in the same way that a table saw will cut anything you push into it.

THIS WAS JUST A FUCKING PRIMARY?

I’ve been taking my dog out at night with a pretty high powered LED flashlight and gang, I have some very upsetting news about how fast worms move.

A client of mine just got an email trying to sell them on an "AI mentor." Like, pay money to be mentored via a chatbot about the thing they've been doing for over a decade. Nuke it from space.

Truly staggering the amount of low-effort AI slop I'm seeing pitched to clients from other agencies. Nobody is using AI more than account people, and 90% of the time it's not making anything better.

I’m apparently two story arcs behind in the evil fandom.

I've been looking for a new way to get conned out of my retirement fund.

There have been too many Popes lately

Black smoke means it's time to wrap the Pope in butcher paper and let him cook for another 2 - 3 hours.

When you finally figure out how to stick it to those Whos down in Whoville.

I’m a Fanjoy fanboy.

It’s Poiliover.

If you listen closely, you can hear Pierre Poilievre starting a podcast.

lol what on earth did PP do to piss off Trump?

Kind of assume I’m preaching to the choir here but the accusations of Poilievre’s MAGA level stupidity aren’t overstated. www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

We gotta pull planes up by their bootstraps now.

Ah okay cool.
