My wish for the day is that rather than reading every post in the worst possible way, the people of bluesky would at least read them with a centrist interpretation. Not even a generous interpretation, just stop fucking assuming the worst and chasing off any possible discourse.

Stilly motor, nuts are for squirrels. Or: Fun?

But only because I love you.

To the great disappointment of my wife, I am, apparently, normal about these things. I took the German or Autistic diagnostic and scored Neither. I am apparently the control group. german.millermanschool.com

Shortest life span for any paper currency ever printed ever ever.

This is my pooch Kylee. Isn't she outstanding? 🤪

I have failed.

At least one good thing happened today, all the to way and including the jury finding in favor of Afroman. BWAKAK www.techdirt.com/2026/03/18/a...

The song of my people... Who's crying?

See, we can have good people.

TIL...Elon tried his hand at adding a diner restaurant chain to his empire and it is a failure but you can get your burger in a paper cybertruck box. 😂 (Okay, but kudos for the paper packaging guys.)

So delighted that LA Metro signed off on this. I'm sure someone "had concerns," but it's better to be just cool and let people rep your transit system! I can't wait to ride the D myself!

Like a pair of harlequin masks, you will laugh and cry.

Is it the beginning or the end? Does anyone really know?

Yeah, that's just what I needed. More T-shirts. 🤷

My earliest Internet memory is trolling religious groups on IRC over a serial dialup tty in the pre slip/ppp days with two of Jon Postel's nephews in my bedroom smoking weed his brother grew. And yeah, it was probably Nermal if you want to close the loop all of the way. Rest in peace Colin.

I can't comment on Crockett vs Talarico but I do, sincerely, hope that Talarico carries the seat and can show up with the same kind of energy that Crockett does and that this wasn't the end of Crockett's public service.

The greater metropolitan area of Helsinki is about 1.5 million.

Does the white house cook have to make shitty fast food burgers or do they come from outside the house? If they come from outside the house, what are the chances they don't have spit on them?

I didn't watch NHL before it was cool to not watch NHL.

Does your community have someone as good as Eris is? I hope so. SCBC is consistently there, fighting the good fight.

Sweet. Now do Santa Rosa.

"a hot bed of boorish behavior"

Stoked this hotel came with in room underwear laundry facilities.

Things I forgot about, volume 10.

I have truly enjoyed watching the Olympic short track speed skating. Barely managed chaos at the edge of what's possible. I do not enjoy the lack of diversity in it, or the winter olympics in general.

This is the correct answer. Friends don't let friends starlink unless they have no other viable options.

Meanwhile, in Germany, the public weighs in on what they think of the Epstein Administration. #BrutalButAccurate

Hate Flock, Ring and the Corpo-Surveillance State? Me too! www.eff.org/event/effect...

We all deserve a government that takes care of its people.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. The translation is "he/she/they is/are chopping it off with an axe/sharp instrument

That AIPAC magic no longer working. Politico email alert: "Malinowski vowed to oppose any candidate the group “openly or surreptitiously” supports in the June primary for the full term, and called on the Democratic Party to have “nothing to do” with the organization."

All of my heroes are problematic. This is the natural state of things. Except Scalzi and Vandermeer. Right?

operating a bike in an american city is a truly liberating experience. yeah go ahead and yolo your way through that intersection. cars making right turns through the bike lane at 50mph? totally expected dont worry. sometimes you just die it happens

We have had bad luck with so many fruit trees. Apricot hybrid and Santa Rosa plums bought as adult five gallon trees and both diseased. They'll fruit for a while but we really should just dig them up and replace them with new trees. It's not the money.... It's the time it takes for them to grow.

😂

And a complete failure of the ca state parks to respond to the changing demographics of their visitors. The weird thing is that the Sonoma County horse population is up since the 90s. Lots of horses just for the vibes and not for riding?

I went on a bike ride today with my son. It was cold and we were both a little underdressed but that's understandable given that yesterday was warm enough for a summer kit. It's beautiful and spring is coming, the narcissus and daffodils are blooming. #everythingisfuckedbutyoucanstillfindpeace

What in the what now? A mushroom that causes a specific hallucination?

Made the most of unseasonable coastal warmth to go mushrooming with two homies, had an unexpected good haul of trumpets, hedgehog, golden chanterelles and yellow foots...feet? Came home and cooked.

Lol

Have you been flocked?

I will not mourn the death of a bitter racist misogynist.

Emily and I loved this, it's wonderful.

A particularly useful word of the day.
