I'm not saying it's perfect here on bsky dot app but we got college football talk, couple different flavors of smart people having good conversations about smart things, crazy-ass heartwarming(?)/terrifying(?) live blog, pretty decent jokes, some good on-the-ground stuff; things are all right

If you're looking for a sign to switch careers: this is the sign.

I am CRYING laughing in addition to having a terminal case of Youth Ministry Font and giving me a headache due to no two lines being exactly the same size, I'm obsessed with how unhinged this list is. are we implying it's a sin to be dead?????

[update] Scheduled: #AO3 will be down for about 15 hours starting at 08:00 UTC on January 21 while we make some improvements to searching bookmarks and series.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

this is because Dolly Parton is the equal or better of most strung- instrument players you can name, a fact often obscured by the vocabulary of iconography sometimes used to discuss her work. thanks for coming to my presentation this’ll take about half a hour

As a classically Appalachian instrument it would frankly be more surprising if Dolly didn't know the dulcimer, the view of Dolly as an exception to what the south sometimes is when she is actually the thesis of what it has always been oh hey I'm essaying too that's easy huh

U.S. consumer protection regulators have the structural integrity of a still-damp fourth grade paper mache art project, yet corporatists still endlessly whine about how hard they have it here

#uspoli it’s always about money

#uspoli Though even if they had given it to him he still would have gone to war. He wants war, this is just the nearest excuse to justify it (he thinks). I only say this bc I don’t want world leaders to think giving him what he wants will work. I hope everyone sees through that by now.

Another angle perhaps

Half the battle with this guy is just reiterating government can and already does good things that are so ubiquitous they’ve become invisible. He’s able to remind you in a way that you understand that good government can exist outside of a 24/7 vengeance operation, and in NYC already does.

#uspoli can’t wait until it’s beamed nonconsensually into my eyeballs À la Clockwork Orange

"Mom, pls understand it's highly important that I spend mornings in the window so I can feel smug watching dogs squatting to poop in the cold. It's vital to my process."

This is AMAZING, like a continuation of Howard Zinn's "People's History of the United States".

This is a sign of a strong economy right? 7-10 fries that’s almost double digit fries every time!

Went to an aquarium supply store last night and was delighted to see the staff in N95 masks and all customers still required to wear masks also. I wish I saw more places still doing this. The “Covid surcharges” sign behind the till particularly got me 😂 #YEG #CovidIsNotOver

For people who want to get money on the ground in Minnesota today, there is a great mutual aid section here:

Virtue signaling is good and we should do a hell of a lot more of it. It's literally signaling the values of your society to other members of that society and young people don't just magically have values as some innate feature within them. They're given to them through osmosis by those they watch.

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition, The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance Iconic imo

Although the people of Minnesota are indeed as accustomed to this weather as anybody in the country, I will still say: They’re judicious about spending time outside in it, and they wouldn’t be out there if they didn’t really, really mean it.

This is the outlook we should be holding on to.

my husband put on nirvana and my children instinctively invented moshing from first principles

Given the timing, we consider this to be targeted harassment as punishment for exercising our First Amendment rights. We're still handing out free whistles. And we just got in hundreds of new yard signs. Keep resisting, Minnesota. We love you.

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.

There are gloves. And then there are GLOVES! These beautifully madly extravagant gloves in verdant velvet are pure #Schiaparelli, early #1950s and utterly de trop #madparisfr #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

this is helpful to see. everyone was in on it.

You have to block them immediately. The full nuclear. They are only here to make folks angry, and that can’t happen if we lock them out.

The collective Bluesky psyche desperately needs a 30-50 feral hogs of some sort. It's too bleak in here. We need to riff on something stupid to keep up morale

MN Morning Routine. Stay safe Fam! ✌️

Block them the same way you'd remove a virus from your computer.

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s
