"There will be no graduation. There will be no trumpets blowing in the light that passes through me. With the sinking of the sun, I've come to greet you. Clean your hands and go to sleep." — Guided by Voices, Glad Girls There's so much poetry between the choruses.

In big personal news, I'm making time to read, and I owe it to a lucky moment of doomscrolling. denmchenry.com/posts/bradbu...

If anybody wants to stop producing videos for their YouTube channel, let me know and I’ll subscribe. That always seems to do the trick.

@nplusonemag.com Asking for a friend (me, an idiot), but is there any way to let someone know I mistyped my email address for the bookmatch donation? I emailed GiveLively.

I am not a "tech critic". I am an antifascist, a feminist, an anticapitalist, an engineer. My criticism of tech flows from my politics and values. Not from a desire to save or destroy tech. Tech is an expression of power and that's what the whole conversation is about.

News! @evandorkin.bsky.social's dairy duo, the worst fans that ever lived, and the rest of his absurdities conjoin in Nerd Inferno: The Essential Evan Dorkin, coming next April. Details: bit.ly/47QcST2 A new omnibus collecting Milk and Cheese, The Eltingville Club, and Dork for the first time

Now It Can Be Told.

I think Everton's Bluesky account is managed by the recruitment team. It's just as active.

Have you lost your bsky password, @evertonfc.com?

Someone who reaches out to see if I'm interested in leading the frontend team at their shitty AI company hasn't done their homework. Maybe a chatbot did it for them.

How many times does Senegal have to batter Dean Henderson before Thomas Tuchel realizes Pickford is far and away the better keeper?

Bluesky's UI makes it easy to inadvertently unfollow someone. If you try to click on their handle after their display name, it's one accidental click on the unfollow button and done.

A media company that sells ad tech by recycling and padding content already published elsewhere can reveal exclusively that they too have read what Paddy Boyland said hours ago about Everton's progress on signing Thierno Barry.

Anyone who's having trouble with Centurylink right now can get online again by changing your router's DNS (e.g., switch from Centurylink's DNS to a static IP like Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1) or else use a VPN.

“But the more I know about something, the less competent the AI seems to be.” 100%!

Sometimes I want to call people out for tracing photographs, but then Moebius did it all the time, and he's supposed to be a genius.

@forzafootballapp.bsky.social How do teams get their club badges added? We have two local teams with generic badges in the app: USL League 2’s Ballard FC and USL W League’s Salmon Bay FC. Thanks! www.goballardfc.com www.salmonbayfc.com

Way back in the 90s, I saw Eddie Mekka from TV’s Laverne and Shirley. I shouted to my sister and cousin, “Hey! It’s the Big Ragu!” He spun on his heel and speedwalked away.

We couldn't afford a computer until much later, but my cousin had an Atari 800XL in the mid-1980s, and we tried writing our own Zork-style text adventures in BASIC. I can't recall if that was before or after I would have used (probably) an Apple IIe ca. 1985 in a Philadelphia public schools program.

What decade is this? Disabling JavaScript for this site is the better solution.

I'd love to listen to Heydon Pickering talk to Chris Slusarenko about Mudhoney on @revpermovie.bsky.social

"Chelsea are serious about Branthwaite but the price is too high." Then he's not going there, is he? This applies to every journalist writing endless nonsense to tap up Everton players. We did this all last summer too.

📢 New video and a big announcement! briefs.video/videos/intro...

As a Toffee watching Premier League Live, I really don’t need to see a glowing tribute to Liverpool, but if you’re going to do it and frame Arne Slot as a “Dutch master,” why style it after Van Gogh? You’re off by two centuries.

Speedy Crossword 1,540 in the @theguardian.com will confuse you unless you mentally change 22 across from “French author of Madame Bovary” to” French author of Madeleine Férat.”

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

All that’s required is just don’t bend the knee. That’s it. Not Congress, not the Dems not the GOP, not law firms, not corporations, not universities, not the nations of the world, not you and not me.

Sackets Harbor, NY is so small that there’s one pre k-12 school with 475 students. Three of those students were disappeared by ICE. Here is a statement published today by school principal Jaime Cook:

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

@jdryznar.bsky.social I’m very sorry for writing too much (for whenever you get to my first Yachtski submission).

This is the plan…

Interestingly, I also just sold my car to my house for $100 bazillion in equity swaps and now their combined worth is more than all the money that has ever existed and that's totally real and not at all fraudulent. www.reuters.com/markets/deal...

Elon Musk wants to take away your Social Security and Medicare benefits, and he’s not being shy about it.

Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.

Hacking on a “This is my Jam”-inspired component for my personal site is my kind of Saturday night.

If you use the #Vivaldi browser and keep closing tabs by accident, I may have found a solution. The close button appears on hover over the favicon, which is a natural target. It can be mitigated by changing settings to make the button appear permanently on the right. forum.vivaldi.net/post/821754

On this week’s episode, we are joined by the legend Kevin McDonald of The Kids In The Hall (@kithonline.bsky.social ), who talks about his upcoming rock opera, Superstar (A Rock Opera), and the films and music that influenced it. Listen to @revpermovie.bsky.social on any podcast app!!!

I just did the math and each book sold pays for one packet of Trader Joe's Chicken Chips, which are his favorite thing.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Funny images shared on mlkshk, song obessions on thisismyjam — I watched shots rebounded by every designer on Dribbble. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears … in … rain …. Time to die.

This is outrageous. Judge Boasberg’s order went against government agencies which were in the US, and which were in direct contact with the plane. He must hold them in contempt of court.

Good morning. I am a firm 100% NO on House Republicans' slush fund CR. I will NOT vote to let Elon and Trump pick winners and losers with your taxpayer dollars. Senators were not elected to beg Trump for federal resources.

In the dumb luck department, I paid about $8 plus shipping for a copy of Previews III.6 (June 1993) with Plasm #0 inside only to discover that this copy is signed in gold by Jim Shooter, colorist Janet Jackson, and artist David Lapham. @davidlapham.bsky.social

It takes no imagination to consider how Trump would use the new authority he'd get from the House GOP slush fund bill to threaten and bully states across the country—you do what he says or he blows up your entire state budget. I will vote NO.
