@mojoquix.bsky.social I see you! Happy TDOV!

@mojoquix.bsky.social I’m in the Mothership this weekend! Flew into SF to see my friend do her last performance of Rocky Horror

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

@mariancall.bsky.social Happiest of birthdays to you!

@olbermann.bsky.social To your viewing list, add "Shadow on the Land", a 1968 Movie of the Week and backdoor pilot. www.imdb.com/title/tt0063... An OK copy is on YouTube.

I forgot about the time David Copperfield and Claudia Schiffer woke me up having sex. (With each other — more’s the pity.) I heard the thump-thump-thump of the headboard around 3 am. The bellman spilled the beans the next morning about them being in the room next to me.

I took a pledge during my PBS station’s pledge dive from Ruta Lee.

@mojoquix.bsky.social So my skinny little Basic Law has ballooned to 132 pages thanks to running stress tests in ChatGPT

I ran the lyrics of God Save the King through Hypertranslate 15 times and it came back with this: God takes care of queen Yes, our jury members arrived in the city. God saved the Lord: He gave her victory. Hi chatchat, The amount of porn is longer than: How does the Lord live?

Another automatic captioning fail. (You may need to expand the picture). Reba McEntire has a new name… or is it a shoe endorsement?

Newscaster: We go now to our man on the scene, Twas Brillig. Twas Brillig: (Hand to ear, into mic) The slithy toves are gyring and gimbling in the wabe, Mike.

My unsolicited life advice is to set up a code word with your loved ones that means "This is actually me and not an AI" because apparently this is the world we live in.

This was Vin Scully's call of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Tonight Major League Baseball cut off the first sentence, starting it with the "What a marvelous moment" part because they don't want to anger the white supremacists who run our country and of whom Rob Manfred is an ardent supporter.

@terryoinfluence.bsky.social My best blooper from my years in radio was when I skipped a line in an AP sports report: “(so-and-so) was traded to the Dodgers today in exchange for (skipped line) the LA Times and Herald-Examiner.” I lost it.

Was not expecting tears of joy this morning but here we are!

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.

Another automated caption fail. I’m more of a Reform cheese person myself.

@mariancall.bsky.social Happy Birthday!

@harpersstudio.bsky.social I hope you’ve recovered from last night’s game. The Chiefs took a shellacking.

Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov" The national archives is still doing its job for now.

@weregeek.bsky.social Rebooting

the debris from starship flight 7 caught over turks and caicos. absolutely unreal. 📸: dean olson on twitter

@jaybeans.bsky.social I finally got you set up correctly on my Plex. You should see my server now.

I solved today’s #Gisnep in 11:04. 🎉 No. 152 | January 6, 2025 gisnep.com

@weregeek.bsky.social Zoom froze. Rebooting

@weregeek.bsky.social I should be home in time for Zoom; if not I won’t be much later than 8

Ten days to Christmas and my air conditioner just cut on.

BlueSky is trying to monetize so let's show them some numbers: Reskeet this if you refuse to pay for BlueSky+ until trust & safety decides to prioritize marginalized users. That's $96 / year of lost revenue for each reskeet...

Steve Austin. Astronaut. A man barely alive. Insurance denied his initial claim. But we have the technology... and he met his deductible. We can rebuild him. We can make him better than he was before: stronger, faster, more fiscally responsible. But only up to his $6,000,000 out-of-pocket maximum.

45 years ago today in Cincinnati, The Who performed at Riverfront Coliseum. 11 fans were killed in a crush of attendees vying for “festival seating”. youtu.be/qSeWECDb3YM

@olbermann.bsky.social Have you thought about packaging “Fridays with Thurber” as a weekly Friday edition of the podcast? I find that I miss our regular Friday visit with Thurber.

@harpersstudio.bsky.social Can’t help you with the Chiefs this weekend. We are getting TEN-HOU.

Someone said matt gaetz thought a “recess appointment” was where to meet his next date, and oh myyy

hugely important. queer people have an absolute right to do their own safety calculus and being “out and proud” is a privilege not everyone has. please don’t ask queer/trans folks to try and change hearts and minds by outing themselves to the Trumpers around them. let’s just keep them alive and safe

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

OPINION: Actually Democracy is Fine in Darkness, Maybe Even Better If You Think About It by the WaPo Board and Also the Guys Standing Outside Our Offices With Dark Suits Holding Machetes

@mexicanyenta.bsky.social Happy birthday!

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #55,284!

@kelliebob.bsky.social Merry Kelliemas!

This just in!

Name the game show. WRONG ANSWERS ONLY.

I feel like Howard Beale after Arthur Jensen’s come-to-Jesus talk in the boardroom.
