watching modern retail animation makes me think that i could have so many more macros

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all. And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

there is no justification for anyone to use Twitter imho. No city agencies. No elected officials. No justification at all as long as Musk owns it.

Yeah seriously cancel your Paramount plus now bsky.app/profile/beij...

I mean something tells me Bluesky isn’t all huge fans of Landman or Tulsa King, what else would you have to lose other than getting Bari Weiss fired as fast as Jimmy Kimmel got rehired? Make sure to fill this part out:

You’d really be forgiven if you had a hard time conceiving of a success on this scale. “So I’ve got this idea for an environmental and public health project, we’re gonna reduce pollution by a fifth. No no it doesn’t cost anything. Actually it’s gonna net half a billion dollars.” What!

personally i'd be pretty into an overall uptick in living by the sword and a broad decrease in dying by the sword

Imagine you’re out here working hard to tell on your whole community and the DOJ isn’t even using 2FA lol

Not now, haunted Victorian shoes

no of course not let’s not rush to conclusions

i feel like we're all gonna know a lot about kiefer, ok pretty soon

disney should go back to making movies about how it’s ok to steal from rich people

This excellent poster from the Oslo transit authority Ruter reads: “ From: Matilde To: Matias No matter what journey you are on, you can always ride with us”

no of course not let’s not rush to conclusions

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

ok we’re really all doing politics this morning and we need jokes. here I’ve got one: what did the Epstein files say to the person who, to please the admin, spiked a story about state-sponsored torture of prisoners charged with no crime? “I can buy you some time I guess — maybe sixty minutes”

can confirm the link is functional and safe. i watched the whole segment. it appears genuine to me. also notable: it's mostly information we know and have already seen. but the personal testimonies are damning and significant, and those interviews were given at great personal risk

The Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Streisand Effect, when merged, become the Bari Weiss Effect

yes king

it’s so thrilling to work on a thrilling song, where everything sticks and lands, the way it says ‘hell yeah bring it’ with every new idea

Concept: the entire federal transportation budget goes to Connecticut

Kind of weird that musicians get put through hell when they don't clear a sample.... But AI weirdos can sample+ scrape literally everything ever recorded+ spit it back out at us. Meanwhile I get copyright flagged posting my OWN music on Instagram or whatever. I feel like there should be a better way

hey everyone. send this one up

good luck this week, i believe in you

it's certainly not the book definition of 'variety'

please let “bugs bunnying” become the slang for manipulating an LLM into ignoring its guardrails, i have never seen a more succinct and evocative term for it

someone should make a plugin emulation of the UREI 1176 compressor/limiter

i read my kids fucking winnie the pooh. try that one. it's about a little fat bear. nobody involved in writing winnie the pooh ever did a seig heil on a quiz show

Pope Leo: “Creation is crying. But many powerful people do not hear this cry: the wealth of the earth is in the hands of a few, very few, increasingly concentrated – unjustly – in the hands of those who often do not want to hear the groaning of the earth and the poor.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

this is a helluva thread from a rep in the house whose name i hadn’t heard until about twenty minutes ago. can’t say i agree with every word, but my gawd he’s serious and smart and clear, and there’s a real shortage of that sort of thing at the moment. respect

wowza i cannot believe the doj removed and / or redacted trump related material from the epstein files. good thing there’s currently a strong rule of law and powerful recent precedent for prosecuting corruption, especially in trump’s personal orbit

good morning !

I need a witness to how shiny I got this cooktop because imma mess it up again in about 12 minutes

I... had no idea there were Gregor Samsa truthers

love how the ios firefox ‘block audio and video’ switch is more a suggestion than a setting

it does take a toll on us, just being faced with this much hate (and it is not just online or abstract)

things can indeed be effortless and light, because magicians walk among us youtu.be/uQDwt4MOZdY?...

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Steven Drozd appreciation post

My bucket list comics journalism project is a deeply-researched article finding the guy who invented the Peeing Calvin bumper sticker and exploring its significance for creative control of intellectual property, and I feel in my heart a major magazine should finance this.

i’ll take this score it’s pretty good
