bluesky is where elder millennials enjoying internet retirement meet younger millennials with untreated depression

The true meaning of Christmas is hard work and determination. Baby Jesus doesn’t take days off.

I kind of like this whole “We won’t buy your liquor but we will air your state-suppressed news stories” niche that Canada’s apparently carved out.

Canadians huddling around the Global TV app

We get to take credit for it now right

Skill issue.

At least he wasn't wearing comfortable clothes at the airport.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

This is like Mr Rogers picking up Mjolnir

you know how i know im a 44yo dad? how much i laughed at this shit

Always sad when the bullet theoretical becomes the bullet possible.

full spectrum of writing on display the past 48 hours as the two highest profile excerpts released are "brigning 2 vans of girls 2 jacoozee" and "He resembled a frozen volcano erupting, a haunted carwash, both sandwich and bodega master. He wanted wanting. The circle. The square. Tiananmen Square."

we're calling her Groan Didion in the group chat

Owned Didion

Heh. Well.

It's like a Morrissey song wrote a memoir.

The devil's deal is you get a cushy job at Vanity Fair, but you have to write like she does. Every business email opens "I hope this finds you. And it finds you well, at the calmer fringes of a decaying empire." Every grocery list "Oranges. The fruit of sunshine. Of hope. Hopes lost."

This photo of rookie Yesavage casually walking off the mound as future Hall of Famer and helmet-less Ohtani is still in motion striking out is everything. #WantItAll

At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.

Seeing baseball bluesky after going to bed at 10:30 p.m. feels like when you finally decide its time for your buddy's intervention.

We’re all assuming it actually is a ballroom.

On the bright side, Ontario now holds the title for the most economically-significant advertising campaign in human history. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...
