@jessethorn.bsky.social I’m still waiting for my Zach Galifianakis Live at the Purple Onion DVD.

OpenAI is shutting down Sora. Good, I’m glad it’s dead. It can no longer hurt innocent people! Human DAVID J. BEACH

Why isn’t Election Day a national holiday in the “Save America Act”?

This! This is real!

Hi Bandcamp bands and labels, it costs at least $40 to ship records overseas. Australia, UK, Germany. Price your shipping accordingly. If you don’t want to ship internationally @bandcamp.com doesn’t have an option for you, so price it at $999.99.

I wrote about Kat.

The trailer for EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY. In select theaters starting April 17th 🍿🤑🤣

There’s still time to buy the Fugazi Albini Sessions for Bandcamp Friday! fugazi.bandcamp.com/album/albini...

Watched the PBS Newshour today and it was the first time I’ve seen actual reporting from Tehran and Beirut. Interviewing people there. Showing the destruction, suffering, and death. We need more of this. @pbsnews.org

Half of San Francisco are delivery drivers for the other half, and it’s only going to get worse.

Like I said, no cookie for Dario.

Zuckerberg’s bunker is starting to look like a good idea.

What’s the opposite of a Nobel Peace Prize?

Can't fuckin' believe I'm doing this but here goes: Twitter is a mind prison, a true jail of career advancement. I stopped posting on there and within months I became the CEO of The Onion and I'm not kidding. Went back on last year, felt worse, then left again.

@anildash.com great interview on @rabble.nz’s podcast! Keep pushing!

The current economy only benefits the elite. The fund managers. The CEOs. The billionaires. The president. 401k talk is just throwing cake crumbs at the rabble.

Jesse Jackson was the first presidential candidate I ever voted for in my first presidential primary election (1988). He will always loom large in my mind.

Have pitchers and catchers reported yet? For some reason it’s hard to tell.

This is a good thread. For email, I'd add @fastmail.com (which I have used for years) and the upcoming @thunderbird.net email as alternatives to Protonmail, as I think they're going to be a lot more usable for most regular users.

Yes it’s Valentine’s Day. But it’s also the chosen birthday of Frederick Douglass who was born in 1818 on a plantation in Talbot County, Maryland. He escaped from slavery & rose to become the most eloquent and forceful voice for the abolition of slavery & for Black voting rights in the U.S.

The wild thing is that this kind of delusion and debauchery probably happen all the time. We just get access to the emails. ground.news/article/stev...

“And again I’m not running away from that comment.” Yeah what could be more honorable than that 🤮 Fucking shameless troglodytes

Pam Bondi seems like a good hang.

Can’t wait for all the Fanatics Super Bowl merch to disintegrate in 3 months.

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Not great when the coins named for you are literally underperforming "fartcoin".

Is this good chat

Y’all think things are bad now, wait until a button is pushed. 🤯 youtu.be/MEcQM3Blvzw?...

Finally, some good news on this TL

Not for nothing, the new Muppet Show is delightful.

People all over Portland, Oregon were impacted by the chemical warfare deployed by the feds tonight. Here’s a thread of some Portlanders experiences who weren’t even at the protest:

Hey Portland, Walmart has these on sale. www.walmart.com/ip/192065157...

Lots of teargas at ICE tonight in Portland. People were just standing and chanting.

Yeah, this tracks. www.cbsnews.com/news/ice-dil...

Off topic, but whoever thought to add pasta water to a pasta sauce is a miracle worker.

Protesting? Consider using a digital camera or camcorder instead of your phone to record video. Phones can be traced and hacked. Use non connected devices.

it is beautiful how we are having another moment of Bluesky unity. everybody basking in the glow of how Ilhan Omar was very visibly gonna punch that dude in the mouth

Let’s not forget that Sly Dunbar passed away yesterday. Sly and Robbie could not be more influential for their breakthrough sound and production. Find Black Uhuru - Anthem or In Dub and let the vibrations wash over you. There’s nothing like it. Then dig deeper into Sly and Robbie’s contributions.

That's a brave human being.

Last month I helped release the Resonant Computing manifesto. Now I want to explain why ATproto should be seen as a key component for resonant computing. It helps enable the various principles of resonant computing, and it's helpful for people to understand that...

I just set up a recurring donation to @wikipedia.org. As the information environment grows increasingly totalitarian, Wikipedia is more important than ever, and it's under existential threat. Imagine losing it. h/t @anildash.com www.anildash.com/2026/01/15/w...
