I do have to say I stopped laughing at some point this year.

does bluesky have downtime because of vibecoding? hmm, unlikely. is it funny that bluesky seems to have more downtime the more smug and defensive their devs get about how great vibecoding is? extremely so

Not everything that breaks is technically the fault of vibe coding but the kind of culture that would foster vibe coding is the kind that produces a lot of shit that breaks.

i simply find it a little hard to believe that shortly after every website implemented ai code and fired a bunch of engineers they all started breaking constantly every single day but its not related to the ai code or the skeleton crew

*Curb Your Enthusiasm theme growing in the distance*

If Bluesky engineers insist on crediting their successes to “AI” while praising vibe-coding, it’s only reasonable for the rest of us to blame their failures on “AI” and vibe-coding as well.

So looksmaxxing means you're rizzminning, right?

I was going to say I'm tired of seeing this because who KNOWS when the last time was that the Church excommunicated someone. So I looked it up. Lots of excommunications these days are for clergy or would-be clergy... But if Samantha Hudson was excommunicated, Pope Leo sure can do the same to Vance.

What idiot called it Exploding Kittens and not MORTAL BOMB CAT??? (Technically the "idiot" is @theoatmeal.bsky.social but it's still a fun little game)

They are never going to love you, Caitlyn!

(With all the confidence of someone who has a contact for a Star Wars trilogy that cannot get taken away) Trump kind of... Forgot about the Strait of Hormuz.

I dunno, I just don't get how people are so excited for GO3, like... it's still Gaiman IP??? He's not involved but it's gonna make him money!

[P]

You never know if you're going to get feet pics, a brutal takedown of a fascist, a staunch defense of trans rights, or John Brown appreciation!

This is a bold statement. A hot take. And it really shouldn't be. A country's "right to exist" ends where a people's right to live is threatened.

i find the resurrection of vibecession discourse very weird. it's very obvious why people feel poorer even if the economy is generally doing well by the metrics: price inflation. you can argue about whether or not that's a reasonable metric but they will all tell you that is what's annoying them.

We should endeavor to name things on the moon in the indigenous lunarians' native tongue as best we can given the differences in anatomy that make speaking lunarian languages impossible for humans.

It's pretty simple for me. If Leo doesn't walk back Francis's statements on gender ideology, "The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more, no less."

Ah, well. Nevertheless,

Does Trump think that Louis Popebrother can be elected Pope?

CHRISTINA KOCH GREETING HER DOG AFTER RETURNING FROM THE MOON IM GONNA CRYYY 😭😭😭

You did all the work and we aspire to be you, but we want him to feel bad, personally and specifically. 😂

Gonna rain on this parade unfortunately, but as a member of the Vatican government, he probably had to forsake his US citizenship. As far as I remember from high school civics.

Where the grass is [redacted] and the girls are [redacted].

yea i feel like this is being glossed over?? like he’s admitted to at the very minimum being a creep, so why would you want him to be governor?

It's notable to me that Swalwell's backers and supporters are INSTANTLY fleeing him, not fooling around with "this is troubling let's see." It makes me wonder whether he already had a bad rep -- whether this was instantly credible to people familiar with him.

Just a reminder that I wrote a book on the history of the Yuri genre which was then published by the wonderful publisher @journeypress.bsky.social, which you should definitely buy and support us both! By Your Side: The First 100 Years of Yuri Anime and Manga www.yuricon.com/product/bys/

The Iran War leading to higher fuel prices leading to higher prices across the board is called Trumpflation.

Wrong. The best root beer is IBC no matter the context.

Me when Turnbull's No Gods No Monsters reveals that one character is bi and poly and her husband is an ace trans masc.

And we never will!

welp (stares at the strait of hormuz, now blocked once more)

This is why visibility matters and why I don't turn my nose up at TDOV.

Not what we mean by "Fuck the police!"

Donald Trump must be removed from office for threatening war crimes and genocide. Speaker Johnson: bring the House back into session. Invoking the 25th Amendment and impeachment must be on the table, but Congress should also move on a War Powers resolution to stop Trump.

We didn't deserve this day.

I'm still pulling at the edges of this, but there are two drives in Western culture. Love/Community and Hate/Empire. I *think* it's what Campbell was talking about with AMOR / ROMA but it has been 15 years since I read Occidental Mythology.

Hey. Where are the #NoKings organizers today? Surely that organization has the juice to stage a White House protest, especially if they started with Trump's original threat on Sunday. What's that? 🦗🦗🦗

Got myself a soda (horrible, don't drink em, 130% of your RDA in sugar with one 20 oz bottle) and a grocery store slice of red velvet cake. The vibes are somewhere between Treat Yo Self and "Smoke'm if you got 'em."

Perfect, no notes, let's do this. Calzones ARE sandwiches.

There is no honor in genocide. When he is gone, his name will be torn down. His legacy will be that of a sexual predator, a creep, a vile bigot, and a genocidal madman. He wants to be remembered as a great man. He will only be remembered as a monster.

I don't know how "the Americans" could meaningfully accomplish this? The power to legally do so lies with his compatriates. The ability to meaningfully create a resistance and pull off a coup won't happen by 8pm EDT.

I just love seeing how happy they all are 🥲 #Artemis
