Holy shit, I can see people now. In the great unfollowgeddon, I am sure I accidentally unfollowed people. Bluesky's refresh stinks. No reflection on anyone, but 8K follows is nuts. Now it's down to mutuals, people I have known for awhile, and specific accounts More work to do, but I am bored now

I'm going to have to fix my feed. I love the Starter Packs, but I am inundated by the same exact outrage coming from multiple sources, and I am missing *people.* I think a lot of folks need to be lists. Plus, need to remove bots from my "following" list. I am certain that following list is too high.

this would fix the website

A periodic reminder to journalists covering the indictment against the Southern Poverty Law Center that our union released a statement about this that you can find here.

Officially released TODAY!!!

I also want to say Epubor exists, and does what is on the tin. I want to be clear - I used this only to make my Kindle books readable on any ePub reader. I still *buy* the books, nor do I redistribute books I bought. SUPPORT AUTHORS!

"Authoritarians don’t like anybody who doesn’t give them undue dignity. Comedians are anti-authoritarian by nature. And authoritarians are never going to like anybody to laugh at them," says Stephen Colbert www.nytimes.com/2026/04/28/b...

Netflix is salty because I am using Hide My Email.which means they can’t sell my email. It only works for Netflix. Anyone else, and it just never gets through.

No one. Literally no one. Me: I wonder if Jains eat leavened bread? Jains: Funny you should ask. The answer is: No.

Also: This *specific* event absolutely should *not* be hosted at the White House — even if it is to continue in its current form at all.

@support.blizzard.com @thewindstalker.bsky.social So, we still haven't migrated the Mac Battle.net launcher to Silicon One? It would be strategic to get this out of the way. Unless your intent here is to "fire" Mac players now you are owned by Microsoft?

Trump staging yet another "assassination" attempt is not news. News would be someone actually pulling it off. Too much of a coincidence that history's most idiotic president has only been targeted by idiotic assassins.

Dan Goldman’s last campaign was supported by the crypto lobby. And then he voted with Republicans for the crypto industry’s two big bills, the GENIUS & CLARITY Acts (seriously). I've also never taken a penny from the crypto lobby and I never will. (2/2)

Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/so... preprint w/ Richard Rogers

@support.blizzard.com Intermittent bug in Darkway delve. If you get hit by the detection pylon(?) and it hits you with the "Detected" debuff, sometimes if does not go away after you move from the debuff zone, and it will kill you. Persists through death and reload. You have to leave the instance

I had the sourdough starter sit unattended for several weeks on the counter, feeding once a week, before supercharging By gum, did I get some holes in my bread. Don't know what's doing there, but I'll take it Also, don't know why only the wheat rises properly. Rye/ pumpernickel just make bread-poo

@worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com I would argue that "move fast and break things" is not great policy where it is an intimate consumer experience you are selling. "It's ready when it's ready" ensures you don't have to write apologies like this. 1/ news.blizzard.com/en-us/articl...

Of course! Who wouldn't be mortified. I'm pretty sure even China, Russia and North Korea had a rough time of what was super easy, barely an inconvenience for the US to slide into. Pretty sure even Nazi Germany required effort. We did in 1 year what took Germany 10.

@jessiegender.bsky.social I heel you might need an *hug* from the anonymous internet. If this helps, your work matters to me, and you are reaching folks who *need* to hear what you have to say. Your creativity matters. Your work matters. YOU matter. How can we (outsiders) help you?

Given that there BBC spent decades enabling Jimmy Savile, it comes as no surprise that the BBC doubles down on anti-trans rhetoric. cc: @councilofgeeks.bsky.social This may explain the degree of salt the BBC has for critics of their egregious decisions.

Israel murdered Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil. Killing journalists in a war zone is a war crime, and Israel has been doing it with impunity for years. The U.S. cannot continue to be complicit in Israel’s crimes against humanity.

GOOD NEWS: we've got some last-minute tickets available for next week's public lecture 'Food for Thought – The Bayeux Tapestry Revisited' in Bristol. Get yours before they're gone! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/public-lec...

Time for the scheduled postageddon. I am not ashamed of my posts. I say stupid stuff, and I learn from my mistakes, but I don't trust Bluesky enough to allow my stupidity to exist in perpetuity. Not with this regime.

4 Democratic members of the House have died in office since this Congress started in January 2025. (That's roughly 2 percent of the Democratic caucus elected in November 2024.)

What do Levi’s, Hanes, and Chewy have in common? California AG Rob Bonta just revealed evidence alleging that Amazon used its power to pressure them, and countless other brands, to inflate prices of listings on rival online marketplaces as part of wide-ranging price-fixing scheme.

1. Yes. But, the best bang for the buck is to do so in PRIMARIES, because that is where your ethical foundation shines. We need to deny them the on ramp. The General, IMO is harm reduction first. 2. Aim lower - get the STATES to cripple Citizen's United first. 3.This goes back to acting locally.

So an interesting nugget that seems to be cropping up from "ground" reports that the tolerance for options outside of the 2 parties is on the rise - in some districts. Great news! I'm still gonna say: be strategic. The goal is to get the fascist out. But I will say this:

we all know I have no life, so:

Trump - the only elephant in the world with his own china shop - one ambiguously identified "French Senator." I'd give the guy full props for that. This is the first time I had a genuine laugh.

So, does Canada do the European Red/Blue or the US Red/Blue. And if the US Red/Blue.... Canada. Buddy. WHY?!?!

So, one think I do forget is not every State is a closed primary state, and all of my advise assumes that To be clear, you CANNOT vote in Democrat primaries (which is where the change happens) if you are not registered Democrat in a closed primary state, That's why the strategy is to join the Party

@democrats.org Imagine being so transparent that you take bribes from another country cc: @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and then try to frame yourselves as "representatives" of your voters.

🗃️ Nota bene #skystorians and THANK YOU to all who make this access to #history possible at @archive.org 🙌

Honestly, I did not expect Cook to step down until after 2028.

What kills me is I used to have these. When French press started to be a thing, we got a set - the pot and 4 glasses, just like this. We lost the set over time. Also, a lot of the glasses used on B5 were actual hospitality-priced Luminarc glasses.
