It is also helpful that a positive on a medical test means, not that there is no illness, but that there IS an illness, and that the Trump is bragging that he has tested positive for mental illness THREE TIMES. I just want to make that clear. Have a good day.

The coalition of an autocrat 🤬 must put a collar on them in order to ensure, that public monies keep flowing into the coalition's pockets. If the autocrat can't rule (anymore), or if the autocrat gets to be a threat to the coalition, then it's time for the coalition to throw them away.

Besides the Trump and and his brunchlord coalition, there is also the fact that the economic and social capital from the Great Prosperity of the 1950s through early 1970s is now totally spent. The pessimism is the Boomers and early Gen Xers coming to know that the permanent depression is coming.

I have said this before, but the polits appear to miss the artists and writers who abandoned 𝕏 for other social media. The polits use numbers to prove how good 𝕏 is. But a plantation is still a plantation, and the artists don't want to dance for the Master of 𝕏. bsky.app/profile/prof...

There are a pack of sickos who want my house. "Hello, my name is *** and I want your house, so give it to me." R***-R*** lost my business when I learned that the guy who could not clean out my sewer drain (and would not use an actual rooter) thought that I was selling my house.

Anyone who says that "criticism is censorship" and "dissent is silenting" in fact says, "The First Amendment is 💩and we want to nulify it." Such a person is an enemy of the American people: Scorn them. Also the NYT is as toxic as Fox News: Boycott both.

It has been ten years since Holly Conrad introduced the tiefling sorceror Strix. Strix has charmed her way through many D&D games, but now she has ridden her pie cart into the sunset. I am eager to buy the Strix cookbook which, I hope, tells us her sad but brave history. bsky.app/profile/holl...

The American people have reached the stage in its history when a drunk corrupt bureaucrat desecrating a national grave gets a tut-tut from a newspaper that used to mock rightists but now prostrates itself before the Mocker in Chief.

Yes, Mozilla used Mythos to removed bugs from Firefox, releasing it as version 150. But this is Anthropic, which used its experience to develop a spine. The other AI companies are of the coalition of the Trump: They deserve neither nuance nor benefit of a doubt.

The Antipope is a fool. - Americans are already notorious for being monolingual. For Europeans it is a joke. The Antipope wants no money for interpreters. - The Trump wants to extort ten billion dollars out of American taxpayers; the Antipope chatters about fraud.

It is my turn, and I will not be nice about it: To an apeling all activity is politics, therefore all social media must be about politics. This is 🐂💩. It has been made clear that Bluesky is about anything its users want to do, and politics is just one topic.

Hey, big cities, I hope you like hunger, because it is coming your way. Of course you will be hungry if there is not enough food ... and there won't be. Well, they can plant soybeans, which do not need fertilizer. But the situation is still bad. bsky.app/profile/jake...

It turns out that Notepad++ for macOS is written with help of Anthropic. It is based on Notepad++ for Windows, and it works like it, even down to the inability to use macOS Character Viewer. The original Notepad++ author, however, is dumping bricks about this. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026...

This is the would-be seventy-fourth birthday of actress Caitlin Clarke. 🎭. I always wish her very well.

For the popular media (including the newspapers), there is the painful habit of doing "profiles" of whoever X is. A certain Parker Molloy has the perfect response to these: Tell us something we don't already know or don't tell us at all. bsky.app/profile/park...

Back when there was a Galileo, there was also a pope-ruled country in central Italy and an overwhelming belief in St. Aristotle. Both are gone for good, so why keep harping on them? And why are the billionaires trying to schmooze with the Pope? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

The White House Correspondents' Dinner should have been permanently canceled instead of allowing the Enemy of the First Amendment to stand in their midst. It was futile gesture, anyway, as he ran like a rabbit after some banging in the ballroom. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/...

The Trump has dissolved the board of the National Science Foundation. The NSF is now headless, and the Trump intends to dissolve the Foundation itself by cutting its budget by over fifty percent. thehill.com/policy/energ...

What happened to them? Abby became a game developer (Slay the Princess) Lexxy became an exec at Arenanet (Guild Wars) Many became animators or returned to animation. One busted a famous cartoonist for abusing her. Tristan is a feature at PA. The rest fell into oblivion

Bluesky is choking for some reason.

I noticed that the new Acq Inc is readapting past players, like Evelyn. If Penny Arcade decides to bring back @hollyconrad.bsky.social , she need not be Strix (esp. if she cannot) but another tiefling character, like Alba Blackleaf.

I do not subscribe to streaming services. That has saved me money that I can use to buy Mountain Dew Zero. I hear (a lot, from a certain retired podcast) of the wonders of Stranger Things, but that has never been enough for me to watch it. I am glad I resisted, given what has happened to Netflix.

That is a good call:

I have not experienced hail in a long time but for two minutes hail the size of marbles has fallen on my house and it is loud!

I am troubled that I have not read anything from @hollyconrad.bsky.social about the beginning of spring. It is really sunny and pleasant where I live. Happy equinox 🌷

About the current rant on the Penny Arcade site, I do not care about nVidia anymore. I work with Macs now; indeed, I just bought a blue Neo and I am happy with that. And Apple would not touch nVidia as if it were a fungal infection. www.penny-arcade.com/news/post/20...

My sister in Escanaba shoveled out a path from her front door to the street. The snow was 4½ feet (135cm) deep! That is awesome.

Where I live, there has been gale-force winds both last Friday and today. In fact, today the wind were so strong, that it pushed hard on my door when I drove into a gas station. Half a dozen milk crates in back of the station were pushed across the station into a retention pond.

How about this for a question? Why you conservatives like the 1950? -- www.youtube.com/watch?v=SS0G... The obvious (to me) answer is that they are fools. Anyone who dreams of the good old days are fools.

I have removed this from my iPhone to try out a #MOFT stand, but this iPhone cover by @kaylacline.com will return.

@hollyconrad.bsky.social I have been meaning to ask, how much has Squarespace been extracting from you for your website?

@lexxercise.bsky.social I am sad to inform you, that ICE will be setting up a post in your home town Carmel.

@hollyconrad.bsky.social Your web site hollyconrad.com is down with a “This account has expired.” from Squarespace.

FTW? For the win? What would be winning, when he is driving #Tesla into the ground by giving up on electric cars for animated mannequins? Unless the mannequins will replace live workers in his factories, apartments and bunker. That would be for the win to him.

My place of work was closed on Monday. It reopened on Tuesday, but the roads to there were so bad that I took a vacation day rather than risk it. I am back at work now, although the weather will be miserable for the rest of the week.

The snow started yesterday afternoon. It has never stopped. It is a powder snow, so I could sweep it. But this morning there was a lot of it, so I shoveled my sidewalk. The snow should end this evening, so I will be able to clear off my car then.

For a livelier topic, LavenderTowne had made a video of personalized themes, one of which is CryptidCore, which looks remarkably like @hollyconrad.bsky.social during her Spooky Scouts days: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RAN...

That is correct: We cannot vote this down even if the "opposition" party did not have spines of cooked linguini. We could found a new party, but it would take years to make any effect, and it assumes the tech bros do not take it over with the steel cables of money.

Europeans, get your heads out of your πυγαι and stand up to the Trump. Resist the Devil and he will ... screech like a monkey!

The Trump is a convicted criminal. Of course he will free other criminals. Of course he will lie about his attempt to overthrow Congress five years ago. I do not understand why the popular media insists on going over that which is a simple fact: Trump's goons murdered cops.

Whatever made that fool believe that New York was ever safe? Whatever made him (it’s always him) think that someone is not trying to milk him of his moolah? This is the city of the Trump, after all. Even its culture is a grift, as most actors left the city as far too pricey.
