Real slow-motion-trainwreck vibes on the timeline of late

is bluesky going to be like a modern efnet? when are we going to have our first netsplit?

Most ACs have an equivalent heat pump, even the low end models. Ex: this is the lowest end AC from carrier and the equivalent heat pump. The difference is basically one part inside them, and then instead of only being able to cool it will also heat. Don’t buy a car that doesn’t have reverse gear!

I used to go searching youtube for this and report them.

Ignoring very real consent issues- this is flat out dangerous. These women all ready deal with serious risks to personal safety due to stalkers. Chat bots that hyper charge parasocial relationships don’t help. Swift in particular is dealing with a dangerous situation right now. 1/

I'd be more worried about generative AI destroying my career but its going to destroy the very notion of thinking you can trust what you see on a screen ever again well before that

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Take it from me: You do NOT negotiate with abusers. So if Trump wants to illegally take New Jersey’s funding, we have to fight back with everything we’ve got. My idea? Eminent domain Trump’s golf course for affordable housing. My debut in @nydailynews: www.nydailynews.com/2025/10/04/t...

"temu" can mean cheap and low quality if we're discussing literally anything other than how chinese someone is, at which point "temu" has a distinctly racial character similarly, if i say you seem smart NORMALLY i might mean it, but right now i would mean you seemed dumb as a sack of hammers

the mcdonalds moon man appeared on some of the most explicitly racist youtube videos ive ever seen. i used to habitually report them.

chess needs a sequel where you have to figure out how to govern after you capture the kingdom.

peter thiel is evil but it's weird seeing bsky folks throwing his name around the same way right wingers throw out Soros, e.g. when it comes to AI my friends, why invoke thiel when altman and elon are right there?

you had to BE TRENT REZNOR to consider the errors, fuckups, bad ideas, glitches, etc etc that came out of your mixing software to be helpful little musical ideas that you could use

posthumously famous artists (e.g. van gogh) are existence proof that the creative process cannot be driven solely by wisdom of the crowd machines

Take: Gifted programs are a special needs program for L1 autistic kids now that Gifted Kid discourse is back: better gifted programs would have prevented years of depression for me In 7th grade I moved from a district with robust gifted programs to one without.

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

don't you wish it were the 90s and you could play 90s video games and eat pizza, two things that were unfortunately banned in the present day
