Oh good, it’s time for the Extremely Smart People Who Know These Irrational Women Are Just Being A Buzzkill™️ to start lecturing Zoe Quinn about how targeted harassment works.

if you want to boycott disney, "not consuming disney" is a bit more effective than "consuming disney for free". the latter sends the message that you can't bear to go without it and keeps it culturally pervasive better yet, put that money towards something that's more in need of support

Just a reminder that if you use iOS in-app subscriptions, you can cancel anything immediately with one single tap. No retention script, no site that can go down from traffic, no appeal from the service provider. One tap, and now you are no longer a Disney+ subscriber. For example.

See? Nobody likes abundance.

Just gonna assume that the next Jokes Seth Can't Tell segment will be him and two of his writers sitting there quietly reading a pile of index cards, occasionally pausing to chuckle and say "yeah, no".

Protect @samreich.bsky.social at all costs.

Still true even when extracted from context.

It's really convenient for a bunch of posting-is-activism people that the government is *exactly* evil enough to provoke mass protests and resistance, but not evil enough to use a list of self-identified anti-government dissidents for malign purposes.

There was a counterprotest this weekend in Toronto that just asked people to show up. Somehow, magically, UNKNOWABLY, hundreds upon hundreds of people showed up without putting their names in a Google doc. Be like them. Don’t sign. Just show up.

Gosh, I wonder why the government of Alberta wants the citizenship status of all its residents to be prominently displayed on a document you constantly have to hand over to law enforcement and other authority figures.

There are people who have the audacity to wonder why the Toronto Police Service is held in low esteem. They are, as demonstrated, capable of stopping a public march. They also, as demonstrated, have decided which one needs stopping. $1.22 billion budget. Inevitable funding increase next year.

sure why not

The story of this song is a wild ride from beginning to end.

All I'll say is, I'm reading all these skeets and thinking "yeah, this response is what he would have wanted if it'd been anyone else".

You can turn off video autoplay under “Content and Media” in “Settings.” You can also block anyone sharing what I understand is a pretty graphic video of the Kirk shooting.

What is the real Blueskyism, Ken?

Just in case you were wondering if anyone under the age of 80 comments on the CBC, there's a story about the new SNL cast member and the comments are universally "SNL is too political now, bring back Roseanne Roseannadanna, does anyone else miss Double Exposure".

Scared now to do the research and learn if CODCO's still safe.

The cruel debasement of time just slowly winnowing it down to Kevin McDonald, I assume. (Why him? Because the cruel debasement of time also loves making the weirdest-looking one the normal one, in the end.)

“Here’s my idea for how to fix traffic: get as many cars as possible in the way of buses, so that the cars in front are blocking and screwing over dozens of bus commuters. The ones behind? Don’t worry. They’ll be full of car commuters stuck immobile as the bus in front of them loads and unloads.”

me, after spending five and a half hours in the hot sun surrounded by huge crowds: wow, I'm really tired and have no idea why

And someone on this express bug to the Ex is trying to have the doors opened for them along the way. Just great communication by the TTC. It wasn’t this bad in the past.

Me to god: I PAY YOUR SALARY [prayers]

Famous Canadian rapper Tom Green.

My first interaction of the day was with someone whose first words to me were calling me a “fucking condescending prick” based on three short sentences. This was not, however, abusive language. Just ask them. I remember being that angry all the time and the worst part is they’d hate my sympathy.

Lots of lovely old couples having to close up shop after years of hard work in Facebook ads lately. It’s a shame that these stores, which absolutely exist and are not dropship scams, aren’t getting any foot traffic in their final days. I just wish they’d post addresses so I could visit in person.

Porter has 14 flights a day to Montreal from the Toronto island airport. The flight is 1.5 hours. Via already has "we are cheaper but your time is worthless" and should not add "also, we promise your experience will include everything you hate about flying" to the deal.

Gonna be hilarious when the oppo research team discovers @chriswarcraft.bsky.social used to play WoW, and tries flooding the zone with mailers telling everyone under the age of sixty that this so-called “candidate”, gasp, plays video games.

ACAB includes Max but not Sam.

It's not nice to plagiarize Maureen Dowd before she's even started writing, pitchbot.

Even were it desirable to make the entire internet child-safe, it would still be impossible. Not at scale, and not without collateral damage that hits disadvantaged people hardest of all.

Galaxy brain: Conservatives are fleeing to the NDP in droves. Universe brain: Disaffected Liberals are fleeing to the NDP, disaffected Conservatives to the Liberals.

For Ontario, definitely you gotta make 'er a Laker.

please help me, my bandicoot, it is crashed

Finally we have a spreadsheet freed from the tyrannical constraints of having to do the math right.

And then yinz puts your arms around minz As winz stumble to the ground and then yinz say "I really don't think you understand Pennsylvania colloquialisms"

It's like they're *trying* to get Clare to notice them.

Any explanation of the importance of age verification that does not explain why it’s a *good* thing children are being blocked from Wikipedia is, by definition, lying to you.

Nothing would be more devastating for conservative rural residents than urban liberals deciding to hold onto their own money. Rural life in North America only exists because cities have decided, out of a sense of tolerance and common decency, to allow their pockets to be picked.

I am someone who *has* had a viscerally unpleasant encounter on the NYC subway, and I still absolutely vouch for merritt here. If you're scared of the subway then I hope someday you grow up enough to not need your Big Bird nightlight that keeps the monsters away.

Omg it’s the lead singer of Clash At Demonhead

"First they came for the nice-to-have-but-an-acceptable-sacrifice, and I said lol he puts THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER at the end of his tweets."

Goddammit, Democrats in America. Do not make me grateful for Mark Carney. Actually, no. Get to the point where you're not making me grateful for Doug Ford.

That moment you realize the Newsom Fandom Bot Army would absolutely make Doug Ford a leading candidate for the Democratic nomination if they could.

Liberals are right about everything in the short term. Leftists are right about everything in the long term. The right and far-right win because neither liberals nor leftists are willing to acknowledge both these things.

I just added three different HIGH-larious nicknames for Pierre Poilievre to my mute list, and my entire Bluesky experience instantly got 25 whole IQ points less stupid.
