I do not think Bluesky is interested in serving the public good in a way that people want (and frankly need) it to and I think that means I'm done here. See you at The Avocado and a few Discords. Take care of yourselves and each other.

KEFKA: Life, dreams, hope, where do they come from? And where are they headed? These things... I am going to destroy! Weehohohohohoho! MEDIA: Clown emperor outlines daring new vision for second year

If not perfect, why perfect shape?

If this doesn't sell you on Puzzmo I don't know what will. He pulled the iPad down to get a look.

Anyone do Puzzmo here? I'm Jarathen there, just started this last week, looking to build out my Friends list.

Reading John Darnielle's "This Year" like an off the wall calendar and updating the playlist as it goes here: music.apple.com/us/playlist/...

We adotped two kittens and now have Maximum Cats (3). Jack on the left, Percival on the right.

Nintendo sure has changed over the years

Why do shins always take critical damage? Who built this race?

"There's coffee in that nebula" is a delightful line.

Audible is doing end of year Right.

Every song that fades out is an act of cowardice. Happy Thanksgiving.

I am not happy that I was raised religiously, generally speaking, but it does mean I catch a LOT of references in Mountain Goats songs, so that's nice.

A quiet night with the best of indoors and out.

Does anyone else take a heavy sigh before doing literally anything?

Just about a week in the future These are going to seem like the good days Because the snake is going to rise from the pit And brother will turn against brother We won't have a minute to lose At most we'll only have each other Happy new Mountain Goats day. Try not to get tears in your coffee.

"We found something you might like." No you fucking didn't. You found other versions of a thing I already bought. Which makes no sense at all as something I might like and then buy.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor. A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

The Scout Trooper is SMOOTH

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

The Shining was a movie far ahead of its time, truly an incisive film about the rituals and behaviors of working from home. And murder.

call them whatever you like, the reality is 'smart glasses' are surveillance devices designed by tech companies to violate consent and rewrite social norms. social shaming is still a more effective a deterrent than the law. @hypervisible.blacksky.app www.theverge.com/tech/807834/...

I've seen a white cat outside several times over the last two weeks and figured it had to be someone's, but it's cold and wet and it's outside again so I put out a bit of food and a box with a towel in a dry, protected place. Poor baby.

My mom came out as a faith healer who can see prophetic visions when touching people, so that's new.

Another Local H cover, this time "Toxic." youtu.be/s9sapD8_TIg?...

Bar Keepers Friend is so satisfying to use.

That feeling when someone smarter than you says "irregardless"

Local H - Team (by Lorde)

Between branches of government and the rise of AI, there seems to be a curious trend of people wanting no responsibility at all, to happily cede it to bad faith or black box, and just hope for The Best. It's apathy as a lifestyle.

Life is just becoming more and more convinced that capital absolutely HATES workers and wishes they would all drop dead, despite needing them to purchase their ever-worsening product.

I will not join the Teams meeting until enough people are on that it automatically mutes me.

I like when I get emails like "Get up to $500 when you move your entire life over to our bank, and also open a savings account with $30,000."

Finally, all of my eggs in one easy-to-carry basket.

As I said months ago, the right answer is KOKOMO, for a tropical resort-set horror movie.

I think about the decades of being told to recycle, conserve energy, save fuel, etc etc, and now we watch AI data centers spool up and just DEVOUR the planet for fuck all.

*whispering* Hades Tooie

What the hell kind of lyric is this: "I have been around the world Looking for that woman-girl"

If you're cancelling Game Pass today, grab a cheap indie game or two, and then put the rest of the money toward supporting indie games media by subscribing to your favourite podcasts/websites/etc.

I like how Apple Intelligence powers my daily medication notifications now. It's EXACTLY the same as before, but now it's a Priority Notification, with an AI butthole logo above it. FUTURISTIC.

It is the season of the orb weaver.

People don't carry enough of a grudge against Blockbuster. They sucked shit. Your local video rental place beat them every day, and twice on Fridays.

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Nintendo trying to encourage people to make friends while their most devoted fans hiss in the dark.

It was never good-faith debate, and calling it so is concession.
