Did anyone else in Cambridge/Boston just hear what sounded like a loud boom and rumble? Like an explosion or large object falling?

Begging people to please stop posting @halfwaypost.bsky.social's fake stories. It's not even satire. They're not satirizing anything; they're just writing fan fiction. If you look in the replies to any of their posts, it's like 95% people who think it's real. They should stop it.

There's a guy at this concert dressed like Rocco from Rocco's Modern Life. Love it. Perfect.

@372pages.bsky.social I just added the Patreon feed to a new podcast app, and there are exactly 372 episodes. (This doesn’t include 17 or so pre-Patreon episodes, which would put the actual 372nd episode somewhere around “The Case of the Black Horse.”)

Can’t believe the knives are already out in the stores. The Ides of March gets more commercialized every year.

@rae.wtf There is a Hexa release in Catalog that isn’t compatible with Playdate OS 2.6.2?

@372pages.bsky.social It’s inescapable (from “Martyr!”)

@theonion.com Can you please follow @ap.brid.gy so we can follow you from Mastodon? Thank you.

Did Glenn Close just say “fucking”?

every new restaurant in every major city is either called Thistle+Thorn and thinks adding turmeric to brussel sprouts makes them worth $30 or is called Burger Bitch and has a neon sign in the window that says “im gonna fuck a hamburger”

There's a bit in Big Daddy where Columbo is on TV and Adam Sandler would make an amazing Columbo. Think about it for 2 seconds

By the way, because Bluesky allows third party app access, there is a “Tweetdeck for Bluesky” app called @deck.blue: deck.blue

deck.blue is a 3rd-party TweetDeck for Bluesky! - Multi-column & multi-account - Bookmark posts - Language filters - Disable reposts - #hashtag/Search columns - Keyboard shortcuts - Color themes - Gallery/Grid Mode - Filter notifications by type - Inline translations - Scheduling Patreon | Ko-fi

Started the Wikipedia page for “slop”, a new-ish term akin to “spam” but to describe low quality content generated by AI. Come add! “Shrimp Jesus” images were contributed by someone. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slop_(a...

Ok here’s a thread of feeds that aren’t topic themed but utilitarian and do things like show you different versions of your timeline or provide services that should be official Bluesky features. 🧵

hard to exaggerate how nuts the engagement is on Bluesky compared to 𝕏. a vastly smaller user base (at least officially), but just look at these stats for one of the biggest newspapers on Earth. Musk has absolutely trashed the platform. folks, you are not locked in on 𝕏. not even a little.

I think “hey assholes, Gus Walz is disabled” is missing the forest for the trees because it grants the premise that in other circumstances boys shouldn’t be crying for joy which is dumb misanthropic bullshit

LOL I must like this place because I tell stories on here I never would back on Twitter because it would have been days of harassment and death threats simply for sharing an experience that I thought was interesting,

A fun thing about composable moderation here on Bluesky is that people can make sure you never see any posts by anyone named "Stephanie." From the (actually quite handy) "profile labeller" bsky.app/profile/did:...

@film5000.bsky.social What was the line in the Chinatown 35 that you had to splice in from a Blu-Ray?

I now have an #ATProto #Ozone moderation labeler service set up. Is anybody interested in giving this a shot?

Are there any Bluesky moderation services currently available for use yet?

@atproto.com Will it be possible for a PDS to use multiple relays?

Shira Small, "The Line of Time and the Plane of Now" from #NumeroGroup, awesome stuff: shirasmall.bandcamp.com/album/the-li... > Mixing soft psych, vocal jazz, and sunshine soul, Shira Small and her high school music teacher Lars Clutterham created a peerless artifact of outsider magic.

Now I feel like a fool for having liked some of the recent “bad” share zone stuff. I’m not even sure I was aware of it in its “good” era.

I kind of can't believe how easy it was to set up my own Bluesky PDS on a $5/mo Linode.
