I woke up this morning, glanced out the window, and saw a pair of crows hopping around each other like they were doing a tiny corvid maypole dance. I feel these auspices are pretty reasonable!

Happy new year, friends. Let's make it a good one, together.

And there's a hand, my trusty fiere! And gie's a hand o' thine! And we'll tak a right gude-willie-waught, For auld lang syne.

Thirty years ago today, the last “Calvin and Hobbes” strip was published.

Many of you will know what is coming here. Some of you will be surprised. bsky.app/profile/solo...

ah shit, sorry for misrepresenting myself through my passion of graphic design, i will now post an apology featuring a ukulele on youtube where i apologize for my problematic Poasts.

Penn Jilette once grouchily refused to shake my hand after a show in Vegas because I'm taller than him.

Excellent thread.

just watched a crow playing in a tree with two squirrels. the crow would fly to a branch. the squirrels would climb up to the crow. the crow would flap at them. they would run off to somewhere else on the tree. the crow would fly down to near one of them and prod the squirrel with its beak. repeat.

Another world is possible.

I don't know why I haven't made this before now.

be (post) (on an actual post) the real life memes you want to see in the world

The Zork games have been properly open sourced with the MIT license 😍 opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2025/11... These were some of the first computer games I ever played back on our IBM 8086 PC. So many good memories.

this poem. this feeling.

Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt. . Here’s why, and what you can do if you want to remove this: buff.ly/MlAq0rL

I am increasingly of the opinion that people who change menus and look and feel of computer software just so that you know it's a new version should be personally forced to play tech support to my mother for five months.

The *lowest* bar for free healthcare is "nobody should have to pay for health services". No individual should control a billion dollars. No company should be publicly traded. Every profession upon which health, safety, or livelihood rests should be licensed. Regulate. Every. Fucking. Thing.

@bencollins.bsky.social I don't suppose The Onion can support starting a teen-aimed politics-and-other-important-life-knowledge-focused edition, can it

Just being alive is heavy tonight, but we have enough dead friends.

Can confirm, same experience as described.

"Ugh they said they were going to text on their way over"

Derek, the menswear guy Garak - a plain, simple tailor All I'm saying is you've never seen them in the same room together

glorious "holy shit two cakes" energy

I did another #KnifeSky thread, I see.

come do Festivids! it's a lovely vidding exchange for small fandoms. If you've never made a vid before, this is a great way to start, or to get back to it if you've been away. there's lots of help and support and community around it!

these announcers are just getting WILDLY hyped for these window-tinting magic hands and, better yet, they are communicating that hype to us, the gently ignorant viewers, so we too can watch this and say "damn, that is indeed some intricate squeegee work right there!"

@shing.bsky.social [hesitantly, in case it has been this way for ages and somehow you hate it despite having chosen it] did you change your pfp? It's a great picture, I love your hair!!

I was already an obligate, voracious reader when I was a teenager, but let me tell you how much _more_ I read and how aggressively I tracked it for the promise of an additional gold star sticker on the cardboard pumpkin with my name on it hanging from the ceiling in the library

CA COVID vaccine: no problem. Showed up, got poked, exchanged chat about the weather, got my (sadly not Spider-Man) bandage, fucked off again.

Hey boy, are u a poster? Cuz I wanna pin u to a wall so badly the landlord takes half my deposit

the best book review in the history of book reviews was indeed Bigolas Dickolas's seminal (ahem) tweets about _This is How You Lose the Time War_ (@amalelmohtar.com and @maxgladstone.bsky.social, 2019)

if we wanted to fix book blurbing we would demand authors share what they texted friends while reading it, then slap "lmao this is pretty good actually" on the cover

if you're unfamiliar with Quaker speak, "We find this to be an attempt at lobbying by stealth, outside the discernment discipline of the Yearly Meeting, and an unhelpful method of communication – as outlined in Quaker Faith and Practice 03.04." is how you say 'fuck you and the horse you rode in on'

In case you need an ethicist's input: it's not only acceptable but, I'd argue, obligatory to say what you need to say to get a COVID vaccine. We have duties of care to each other, and particular duties of solidarity to those the regime wants dead, which supersede situational duties of truthfulness.

I have successfully made an appointment to get the '25-'26 COVID vaccine at CVS on the 4th! Maybe you can too! There was exactly zero more hurdles to jump through than there were before. (Well. The "are you high risk for complications" question might be load-bearing now, but it's not _new_.)

Anyways, AIDS is going to be gone soon, this is a generic with FDA full approval.

At the CARE PACKAGE tier, backers receive miniatures(at least one hand-made one)! Here are some of my favorite ones so far. www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

you too can support a film made by an idiot who is hand-routing grooves for miniature floor planks, because human made art just means we get to indulgently do things like this. www.kickstarter.com/projects/shi...
