White guys complaining about "checking the right boxes" when their entire life in this society has been checking the right box since birth.

There was a time when this idiot would have been publicly shunned and not platformed as a legitimate alternative viewpoint.

People need to go to jail over this, and we need to demand Dems run on a platform of putting people in jail over this or get primaried and fired.

I've had the opportunity to lease a Kia K4 for a few days while my other car is in the shop, and I...kind of like it? Like, it's not to the same performance level of my Mazda (zoom zoom!) in terms of spirited driving, but if I was looking for a 2nd car it would be on the list.

This right here. The technology is less the problem than an economic system run by a class of demonstrable sociopaths (and outright psychopaths) who will ensure the technology will be implemented in the most extractive and damaging way possible. But also, the tech is a problem.

Meet the window heat pump: A compact unit that's relatively cheap and takes half an hour to install. While they're not widely available yet, they could prove to be an important climate solution in the future. @wbur.org #energysky #decarbonization www.wbur.org/news/2026/02...

Showed this to a pal and he said, "This is what every video should be like."

He forgot the "and die young" part.

No fuckin way

I was just thinking about the show Devs, which was silly overall, but one thing it absolutely nailed was how absolutely cultish certain tech folk are. We're talking Heaven's Gate level of cultism. Belief in a future super-AI god to rule humanity and all that. Just bizarre.

This right here. Tempers are high and we are all rightly shocked and outraged. But anything you say can and will be used against you, especially calls for violence.

#SFFChat Q2: Hopefully this isn't too similar to Q1, but what roles do "place" or "space" play in SFF? Think of this as a broader approach--what does setting a novel in space, on a space ship, in the woods, in a modern landscape, in a temple, etc do? Or interpret however you like! Whatever's fun!

Corollary to @faineg.bsky.social's discourse on "good tech needs no begging to adopt": when the humble web browser has become so encumbered by AI features that an article about using the command line to run GitHub scripts to shut them off is viral news amongst normies, it's a full repudiation of AI.

Like, I just can't even with this shit. So, I guess the public might also want to reconsider the iron lung as well?

"Wider adoption" meaning paying out the nose for the AI services that no one asked for but have infected everything.

Leonard Nimoy was more than a colleague—he was a friend, an ally, and my political soulmate. Leonard played a half-human, half-Vulcan officer—a being caught between two worlds. Yet in his own life, he was perhaps the most profoundly human person I have ever known.

The entire chain of command behind this atrocity should be brought before #Congress and investigated. #ICE is a lawless agency emboldened by a criminal president. We must #abolishICE & dismantle its immigrant concentration camps. There is no reform to the state-sanctioned violence ICE creates.

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.

also when mamdani says affordability he means "your bus should be free and your rent shouldn't be allowed to go up" and when schumer says affordability he means "there should be a means tested tax credit you can get by mailing in the upcs from your cereal boxes"

This is why we will need Nuremberg style trials with actual criminal prosecutions. There are actual atrocities being committed. And if Dem leadership can't commit to holding trials, then what are they even doing except political cowardice?

After spending several hours trying to beat some minor boss, the problem with this game is similar to all From games, which is it less about story and more about skill at memorizing dance moves, making it just a modern version of arcade games like Pac-Man. bsky.app/profile/cv-d...

I like to find acoustic versions of songs that were/are important to me. Sharing this gem I came across today. The power of song is a distinctly human trait, my peoples. Be singing what's in your heart. m.youtube.com/watch?v=VncN...

Been playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and oh boy, it's every bit as eerily gorgeous, supremely addicting, and throw-the-controller-across-the room-in-a-fit-of-rage insufferably aggravating as every other From game I've ever played :-)

Q: After you told ICE to get the F out, Republicans are criticizing you for escalating tensions FREY: I'm sorry if I offered their Disney princess ears, but if we're talking about what's inflammatory, on one hand you got someone who dropped an F bomb & on other you have someone who killed someone

Mayor Jacob Frey: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

While we're all debating on whether Trump is getting ready to kick off WW3, I want to take a break and discuss something else: Japanese and Japanese-inspired knives. /2

Truth.

This is why I’m pushing for a state escrow account that holds federal funds before sending them on to Washington. If Trump wants to steal our tax dollars that were legally appropriated by Congress, then we should just be paying ourselves.

My wife got me a set of beautiful (and razor sharp) Japanese steel kitchen knives for Christmas, and all I can say is they are very unforgiving on poor knife techniques :-) No lost fingers, but I did nick myself and I didn't even know it until I saw blood. EXTREMELY sharp :-)

One of the things I truly love about Bluesky is that a post I made months ago will all of a sudden bubble up from the depths of time and start getting a bunch of likes, for no known reason :-)

This right here.

Happy New Year, my peoples! A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having, so dance, dance, dance this mess around! m.youtube.com/watch?v=4WSe...

Was just thinking how Microsoft Teams has icons without skin tone, which is basically just icons of white people.

I get that not everyone can afford $500 every 4 years for winter tires, but if you're driving a BMW suv in the snow poking along a 10 mph with your fat fucking summer tires, you can afford to by you some fucking winter tires.

Open enrollment for my employer-covered health plan just hit the street: 20% increase over last year. $0 deductible now $2000 deductible. Thanks, Trumpers.

I'm going to pin this because this is something I feel very strongly about. The right for transgender people to exist is a fundamental human right, and the attempt to erradicate them is not just bigotry. Its not just about legality. It is a form of genocide. It is about ending their existence.

the full speech is something to see & is one of the reasons it is good to have a trans member of congress youtu.be/5LqVMCW4e0c?...

Is there a bonus you get full points?

A new investigation has revealed that grocery delivery service Instacart is using a covert, AI-powered dynamic pricing scheme to charge customers different prices for the same items — potentially costing households over $1,000 more a year.

So I went and did it. I finally completed a full playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3. I played Gale with Shadowheart as the love interest. I'm considering a 2nd playthrough, but this time as Shadowheart. Will she become Shar's #1 or will she defect to Selûne? I guess we'll see!
