Looking at Twitter's news of the day, hope we get that bluesky federation sooner rather than later (this isn't pressure, devs, just a hope)

Leave a legacy that will outlast your nation

lol

How many potted trees is too many potted trees?

Need to continue normalizing 'metatribe' (or some other equivalent) to describe the landscape beyond tpot You know, where the real horrors hang out!

extraordinary

Thy bush is an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard, Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices: A fountain enclosed, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.

There is an unfortunately high density of some of the worst people on the internet on here.I don't want them removed from the internet, I just want separation from them. This is why, g-d willing, federation will come swiftly.

i don’t want to just be the nicer alternative to elon — i want this to be a paradigm shift where i was influential in kicking it off, but overall it is about the town square of public social becoming more self-organizing and open to innovation

Me restraining myself from commenting in the sex technique thread

Someone get Phil Magness over here, fast.

Local man remembers the old wars against the frogs, when half the people talking about them were still in middle school.

Neoliberal project falls into the 'cousin' category of 'I, my brothers, and my cousins against the world' (compared to the commies)

Throwing out into the void that an addon that generated posts using encrypted group messages would be very useful in light of the firehose.

this is a willful misunderstanding of what i’ve been saying. we’re working hard to build out moderation tooling and hire up for a small team, as we did not expect exponential growth over a few short weeks. communicating this with the community is a form of moderation as well.

i’ve been repeating: - this is a small team scaling up - we’re building out more moderation tooling but it’s not done - if you can’t stand it in the interim, come back later

I am extremely grateful for Jay but I suspect she's going to be put under extreme amounts of pressure. @jay.bsky.team -- there are negative utility monsters out there, people who will claim that no matter what you do, if it goes against their preferences it will cause them infinite harm. Be strong.

Strong suggest to stay off What's Hot, good lord

America is good

It's a shame Orrin Hatch has passed, he was a truly powerful poster.

Going through and blocking the worst of the former Bluecheka because lord I don't want to deal with these morons (and honestly I'm sure it's reciprocated)

Astonishing discourse last night from people who insisted that 'Nazis deserve the same treatment as communists' was me sympathizing with Nazis.

HR software fucking sucks, even the neo-HR software.

Maybe two orthobook posts coming this week. - Dating - A healthy leader/follower metaphor for heterosexual relationships (oh man I am very iffy about actually publishing this one)

Does this work as gig platform? I do consulting in Cloud & Big Data. Mostly terraforming AWS these days, but I've also built Hadoops and Dataflow platforms. Got gigs?

People seeing how fast they can speedrun politics arguments on here lmao

A couple folks getting pissy at moron, retard, etc. in here are gonna have some issues with @ouranometrian.bsky.social

I have been hostile to the mobile firstification of things since it started and that hasn't changed.

Almost forgot to do my evening parshah reading.

hello, friend, i say to everyone who comes in. but it is not 2008. the internet is a battlefield, and posters came ready to fight. we hand out shields (blocks) to the restless subgraphs of the new online city, and discuss how best to establish new cities with trade routes between them.

it’s important for y’all to realize that this app is wild right now because all of you are posters. you’re probably not meant to meet each other in the wild without a cushioning biome of lurkers around

I am so close to finishing War and Peace.

ya u seem like a massive loser

"Social media users three generations of blogs removed from a bunch of people who read a blog in 2012 who happen to share certain intellectual and philosophical traits"

It's like 2014, this is great.

Hilarious timeline of him getting (fake performatively but probably moderately driven by real) angry at TPOT

Hellthread? My brother in Christ, you've invented the mailing list

'made sure' sure is eliding a lot of complication that involves men with guns sending you to Siberia at night

Looking for other books along the lines of 'Women's Work', 'Sexual Personae', 'Spiritual Midwifery', 'This is your brain on birth control' Yes, there's a thread between all of those things.

Enough sparring for now, time to go for a run.

Really just want to applaud the sheer quality of discussion at Orthocon, from a great careers panel to talking about civilian vs military nightvision to talking about the design process for the bullethose to a fantastic talk about the biology of growing things in space.

Someone bring back the eigenextraordinary bot
