Literally the first news outlet I've seen directly quoting her wife. Even the NPR piece on Renee Good that aired this morning made no mention of Becca Good whatsoever.

Reminder that the argument against GenAI has MULTIPLE points and all matter: 1. It is theft 2. It puts people out of work 3. It uses disproportionate resources 4. It removes artistic agency Do not let someone go "but they don't do 1 and 2!" Distract you from the others

The rage that has to exist in the average Minnesotan to watch someone stuck on an icy hill and STAND BY AND TAUNT THEM

NEW: Yeah, so, about that... @mattburgess1.bsky.social reports: www.wired.com/story/x-didn...

"Paywalled" is the word you're looking for. They didn't turn it off. The only thing that changed is X now explicitly makes money off CSAM.

...How much money do we gotta throw at Blind Guardian to get them to perform this?

You used to be able to smoke inside restaurants and other public buildings.

I can name three (little me was THRILLED when I got to open these up on Christmas morning)

Make it viral.

Friends, you HAVE to stop posting on that evil site.

MST3K is the root of at least 50% of all YouTube, and informs most media criticism in new media. So it should be the first winner.

Don’t wake me from my eternal slumber until Disney produces 5 seasons and a movie based on whatever the hell is going on in this poster from my childhood

important message to all bluesky users

They also killed someone in Camarillo in July. The way that the invasion of LA has been memory holed even as it continues to this day, makes me insane

Wrote a piece for @slate.com explaining that states have a long history of prosecuting federal officers when they allegedly use excessive force. Federal officers are only immune from such prosecutions when they act reasonably in carrying out lawful duties.

This the right call. Please check in with neighbors who may need support with childcare.

Post something beautiful to combat the awful.

"She said she felt as if the ICE agents were untrained, inexperienced and didn’t know what they were doing. Heller said the driver was being told to leave but also being instructed to stop at the same time, then the man "just fired" his gun."

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known,” her mother said. “She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” www.startribune.com/she-was-an-a...

Now they need to do the same and more for that grad student instructor at OU

This is also a call for reposts of my posts, because I am once again kinda despairing at the disparity between these vitally important posts and the fun stuff in terms of engagement. It's understandable but also causing spiking cortisol levels in my brain. 🖤♥️🫡

Reclassifying the urgency of the first stage of fundraising to high after doing some calculations. Any amount appreciated alliteratively.

Wish I could internalize this

Repost if you play EDH and still trim your nails

[Looks over at large volume titled "The Complete Fiction of H.P. Lovecraft] I will say; I do find it funny how everyone who reads Lovecraft also admits that the dude was a piece of shit who deserves all the mockery he gets in the Midnight Pals threads.

Pumaman will return in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY

I don't hate the post-Scourge Magic the Gathering border/frame designs, but I do miss the old frames; they just have so much atmosphere to them, if that makes sense?

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

Onions are the best vegetable. They're delicious raw, sauteed, pickled, fried, stewed, and caramelized. They improve nearly every savory dish. The GOAT.

There we go. That there’s a headline.

now that i’ve seen lord of the rings, i can truly appreciate all the memes

"GenAI is the futu--

"Fanfiction allows people to explore identity, sexuality, trauma and love through characters they already trust. For many queer readers and writers, it was the first place they saw themselves represented."

I will be there in my finest denim jacket and acid-washed jeans.

ok it's up I'mma go dissolve my particles and become one with the infinite

Plain and simple my politics is that nobody should be wealthy enough to make their insecurities my problem.

This is my favorite headcanon and it's a great example of how readers can offer a different reading of a text that the author never considered and did not intend, but is nonetheless validated by the text itself.

Post a famous bathroom scene

I've been on bluesky too long; I looked at the croissant portion of this image and my mind immediately went to Alf.

Nooooo!! #StarWars

repost to give those 2 or 3 followers who always like your weird posts a little forehead kiss & a grilled cheese cut diagonally

Honestly this 'left v lib' shit is just tiresome at this point, it feels completely irrelevant to everything at best and feels like an active psyop against the opposition at the worst.

for real

Time to dust this one off again

Oh look, it's Bring-Up-Willow O'Clock!

forget the long arc of history bending towards justice, I need the rube goldberg machine of inexorable consequence to endgame the kind of profoundly ironic yet blackly hilarious karmic downfall that would’ve had ancient greek theatergoers hollering at the chorus
