Inspirational Skeletor is one of the best Bluesky posters. Originally, Skeletor was comically evil, an inspirational version that inserts himself is ironic and absurd, moving focus and consideration to the text/idea of the meme, forcing you to evaluate it without any force of authority.

Something instead of nothing

It's been about a year since I switch from Windows to Fedora Linux KDE Edition. I like it a lot because it let's me have control over my computer and leaves me alone. It's fast, very stable and very little jank compared to a OS owned by a $3 trillion corpo. #linux #fedoralinux #KDE

Gibson actually calls this out in the introduction to the 2004 edition of Neuromancer: "a whopping anachronism, right at the very start of my career in the imaginary future." It's a thoughtful reflection on the book's 20th anniversary

I wrote about why I quit my job, and how weird and tiring tech feels these days.

Man fuck off those aren’t even words

RIP Meghan Trainor

Saw an interesting toad and wanted to share it with the world. ✌️ #nature #toad

Last month in The Onion:

Still thinking about this note I found in the children’s section of the public library when I worked there back in 2018. This kid tried to warn us…

There are people out there claiming some of the Artemis II photos are improbable, even impossible, so I made this graphic to clear up how space photography works

If I were a scammer $8 would surely prevent me from having access to the biggest rubes online

Nixon knew it & compensated by making himself a LBJ, FDR, TR-class politician. He was a good practicing lawyer, a realist in foreign policy, & had the HOF skill to be what the public wanted before they knew it. Vance has none of this. He calculates by rubbing the same sticks at different angles.

I wish I'd though of this. It's absolutely true.

Good @mattpolprof.bsky.social look at anti-intellectualism of the right up through MAGA: "We see this today in how DeSantis, Trump, and the MAGA intelligentsia obstruct ordinary people from thinking about the colonialism and slavery of the American founding." www.liberalcurrents.com/the-right-wa...

My take is that the Hungarian people saw the first two Deuce Bigalow films and were determined to stop Rob Schneider’s eastward advance before he could complete the trilogy.

I'll never understand why ghosts are always the size of the person. 1) What law of physics could you, writer, possibly be adhering to 2) Jeff the ghost could be 30 feet tall??? Writer you are missing out

We no longer need "word processors" like Microsoft Word.

I think I'm coming down with bixonimania. Damn

In this South Dakota diner, Hormuz still means when a prostitute pretends to be a cow to satisfy Byron Noem's new fetish. But they do know this: Iran doesn't need to re-open shipping lanes if it pledges to ban DEI and trans athletes.

Behold. Linux. But with nothing to install it on. More of a just in case thing

More like: Mark Twain and the Eldritch Power of The Orb

WATCH: after we got shot last night, our comrade/lawyer @shakeer.bsky.social went over to ask for the pigs badge # & name. LAPD pig Rick Linton then told (& did) Shakeer that he was going to shoot if he kept asking questions. This is unhinged behavior! @mayor.lacity.gov has completely ok’d this!

That headline hasn't aged very well. Never heard anyone discuss this before

Remembering and celebrating the great Ivan Dixon, trailblazing Emmy-nominated actor, filmmaker, and producer, on his 95th birthday, beloved for roles in SOMETHING OF VALUE, PORGY AND BESS, A RAISIN IN THE SUN, NOTHING BUT A MAN, A PATCH OF BLUE, CAR WASH, THE TWILIGHT ZONE, THE FUGITIVE, and more.

Mankind was meant to have one device for one task. The smartphone has become the unholy cloaca of digital utility.

I would quite simply like to be able to log into a website JUST ONCE without having to use my email and my phone to type in a code after entering my password that contains an upper case, several numbers, a punctuation mark and a secret handshake with eighty-four steps.

starting now i am going to start sharing the books i read. finished this volume this morning. it is terrific.

It’s pretty interesting to compare Easter messages from political leaders and then consider which ones the media treats as being out of the mainstream or dangerous

It's literally what NYT asked for when it got rid of the public editor position! www.politico.com/story/2017/0...

Artemis II Mission Progresses Smoothly as Focus Shifts to Frozen Urine Management www.wutshot.com/a/artemis-ii...

This is completely correct!

Today I built an sd-card interface board in my RC2014 system, and it worked first time :-)

I don’t have Apple Jacks often enough. Quality cereal.

i did not make this up. this is an actual screenshot, from right now.

It’s a day ending in Y, which means it’s a good day for Hawaiian pizza. 🤤

A little fun fact about me, is that I have an interest/ hobby in reading classic books and novels, because I’m always interested in classic stories. The current book I’m reading right now is Moby-Dick by Herman Melville. Despite being a really long story I am actually enjoying reading it.
