@musicologyduck.bsky.social I'm very sorry. I didn't mean to be presumptive. I just wanted to interact because you're fun and charming. Now I'm mortified...

@timmiller.bsky.social Hi Tim. I'd REALLY love to read the Bulwark these days - I see lots of articles I'm interested in. But I'm retired on social security and can't afford to take on subscriptions. Some outfits (TPM, etc) have comped me since I retired. Would you guys consider doing the same?

@musicologyduck.bsky.social I'd love to participate in your threads. Would you please follow me so I can? I promise I'm not an idiot or a bigot. Thanks...

@daralind.bsky.social Hey I just saw you on teevee. Nice job...

@notaterrornerd.bsky.social Oh look, we've decided to be al Queada. What could possibly go wrong?

@pmskinner.bsky.social Hey man, I just saw you on television. Along with Toliver and Cooper. Weird ugly case, but you guys made my heart warm. Nice work...

@volts.wtf Tom Steyer is running ads in CA saying he'll bring down energy costs by breaking up the monopolies. I assume he means PG&E and SoCalEd. Does that make sense? Can a Governor do that? Would it bring down rates? It sounds pretty sketchy to me...

This is important. Also, too, you'll only be trashing your own credibility while you are helping prop up the bootlickers...

All your questions about the video are answered by the video...

@samsteindc.bsky.social A righteous cocktail cart in the guest room? Cool...

@timmiller.bsky.social Always disappointed when you show up and you're not wearing your pearls...

@nicollewallace.bsky.social FABULOUS show today! This is the kind of thing I hope to see on MSNBC. You and Steph keep hitting it out of the park, but today is special...

@goangelo.bsky.social Your picture is crooked...

@robynbennis.bsky.social Even today, after all this, when I see the term 'anti-vax' I have to kind of shake my head and remind myself that it refers to people who are opposed to vaccines, and not people who are opposed to early Digital Equipment compute hardware...

@nuclearanthro.bsky.social I have had Annie Jacobson's book Nuclear War: A Scenario on hold at the library for MONTHS and it was FINALLY my turn yesterday. Fascinating and totally gut-wrenching...

@robynbennis.bsky.social Whoops. This. undercover-in-the-apocalypse.ghost.io/this-is-why-...

@robynbennis.bsky.social Curious what you think about this. I think it's overwrought in many ways - stuff happened before the world recognized those marginalized and in the shadows, and not ALL of it was bad. But I think it's worth thinking about. (And yeah, Silverberg LeGuin and Ellison)...

@joshtpm.bsky.social Hey Josh, do you think part of Dem messaging should be promising to investigate/prosecute lawbreaking by members of the current executive branch?

@swiftonsecurity.com Hey, whatever happened to your old boyfriend Taft?

Slow Dog by Belly...

?I'd just like SOMEONE to answer this one simple question. Why is it so desperately important to you to try to convince me not to use an LLM? If you don't want to use GenAI, that's fine. Frankly, nobody cares. But why do so many people scream at me all day about how evil I am for using it?

I thought I had curated a feed populated by smart, funny people with diverse interests. But somehow my entire feed has devolved into a series of pointless spittle-flecked rants against AI. I don't know why so many people care if I use AI tools, but it's a full on Butlerian Jihad...

It's simple. Trump CAN'T fire Bondi. The premise would be he'd fire her for covering up/not releasing the files. But that would mean that her replacement would HAVE TO release them. And he doesn't want them released...

@terrornerds.bsky.social Deleted? Wha hoppen??

@vjlawrence.bsky.social Is this you?

I don't understand people on here who are skeptical that AI will take jobs. If even 1 in 20 jobs are eliminated it will have real consequences. How many line welders are there now? Prepress/Pastup jobs? We're on the cusp of eliminating long-haul truck drivers. This is already happening...

@pmskinner.bsky.social Somebody call the neighborhood watch. We've got Orangies...

@swiftonsecurity.com How the hell can the Helpdesk at a major corporation not have solid policies on user authentication changes?

@nataliaantonova.bsky.social I'm curious about something. Do Ukrainians speak Russian with an accent?

@nicollewallace.bsky.social I want to tell you: I loathed (and still loathe) GWB. So I had a hostile opinion of you. But you've completely won me over. Your kindness and empathy pour off the screen, and your smile lights up the room. I love Stephanie (smart & tough) and Nicole (smart & kind)...

This angry jihad against AI on Bluesky is annoying and frustrating. Don't like it? Don't use it. Your spittle-flecked rants just waste energy and deplete resources...

@bwreed.bsky.social On another note, Devers is hitting third for the Giants tonight vs the Guardians...

I've been reading Brad's work for 20 years (holy shit, has it really been that long?). He's remarkably talented, can do funny, can do ironic, can do straight-up reporting and uses the English language as well as anyone you're reading today. He'd be a real benefit to any publication...

Welp, things just turned hot in Kashmir. Better dig a neck-deep hole...

@jfallows.bsky.social At this point, has the Boiled Frog jumped the shark?

@robynbennis.bsky.social Status Check: Hey. Been kind of quiet during the recent drive toward the end of everything we love. You OK?

We really don't talk enough about how despicable and slanderous the whole "Twitter Files" and "Censorship Industrial Complex" frauds were/are.

@terrornerds.bsky.social Stash found in the attic of an old house in Germany. Have you checked YOUR attic?

@ayman.msnbc.com There are very serious indications that the US is going to bomb Iran along with Israel, such as an unprecedented buildup of strategic air power in Diego Garcia. I'm a little surprised you didn't mention it. You should. The TV Anchor(s) that actually do will gain massive credibility.

A little bit of geek joy. Found my grandpas old pocket caliper today. Probably from the 40s when he worked at MarinShip. I'll give it a nice cleanup and oiling and start carrying it around with me...

@terrornerds.bsky.social I figured if I was going to be your dad you should be able to pick me out of a lineup. A couple hours ago hiking at Sugarloaf. Didn't get much farther than you did. Lost my GMRS radio. Finally found my radio but by then I'd lost my keys. No one told me it was moron day...

@swiftonsecurity.com Would be interested in hearing your take on the common career path for CTOs in your experience. I've known some from the business side and a couple from the datacenter. Even one who was a DBA...

@bwreed.bsky.social I'm watching it with you. He's pretty fuzzy but he's gonna sprint through the tape....

@jheil.bsky.social Holy Shit that's a lot of records...

While you're watching the atrocities play out in the US and and Gaza, don't look away from Diego Garcia. Something really bad is brewing in the Indo Theater...

@robynbennis.bsky.social Happy Visability mi amigo. You are part of what makes my life a little less of a poorly reinforced bunker in hell. Thank you. As that noted observer of our cultural milieu Brian Johnson wisely said "Have a Drink on Me"...

I personally don't give a shit about Trump's ant-constitutional bullshit about a third term. Personally, I don't think he'll finish THIS term - if he doesn't croak the party will have to 25th him because the people are rioting in the streets. And he'll be so loathed he couldn't get elected anyway...

Hey. If you were a Major League ballplayer, what would your walkup song be?

If you had asked me if under an authoritarian government would the colleges or the lawyers be the ones to resist - well, let's just say I would have gotten that question completely wrong...
