It wasn't a spark for me. I had questions my pastor couldn't answer, but still held on. Things like the worldwide flood never worked as real things for me, so some parts being metaphorical made it stick longer. Eventually I decided that the miracles might be nonsense, but it could still work 1/3

they say consumerism is a big problem these days, but I don’t buy it

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7

Just launched my first ever mobile app! play.google.com/store/apps/d... It ain't much, but it's useful to me, so maybe it will be to some other people too.

I initially shared this, not knowing it was a Claude screenshot (because, having never used Claude, I didn’t know what Claude screenshots looked like), and since I’d seen similar claims in other sources I assumed this was journalism. But I should have checked it before sharing. Apologies, all.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

"when the truth becomes obvious people will update their priors" No! They won't! Have you spent any time on this website!

I want to go to a time when things are dummy simple to use, work well for a long time, and are easily able to be fixed by the user with replacement parts that don't cost a lot.

Thunderbird doesn't give me this issue, no. Now for mobile as well!

Chat, is it bad when one tech dude having a modicum of a conscience is the only thing hindering the plans of the worst people in the world to use hallucinatory robots to automate crimes against humanity?

Sometimes I go to clearsky to see who's blocked me so I can block them back. Why should they have all the fun?

Labor creates all value

I don't know what philosophy major learning to code needs to hear this, but in C#, you can think of interfaces like you think of a chair.

Every goddamn day of this administration

Absolute fucking ghouls

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

One of the things I have yet to see discussed about Pluribus is the death of culture within the show. I don't have a way to do that without giving spoilers, though :/

If you didn't, that's good. Keep it up.

Billionaires really are out there trying to minmax the dollars to sense ratio.

Sparta was really strong, until they were conquered by a drunk and his son, a Aristotle-educated, artistic twink whose cultural whims would dictate western culture for the next 2000 years

It turns out one of the problems is that the "+" light has gone out.

personally i think jay-z has most likely been looking at a two digit readout this whole time and he's got absolutely no idea how much problems

So much of our present crisis is coddled, ignorant, and short sighted people tearing down the institutions that protect them because they don’t understand that bad things can happen.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Good. Keep going

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Babe, wake up, new sarcastic but entirely worthwhile internet abbreviation just dropped

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Look who finally read a book. I'd like to think it was A City on Mars by @zachweinersmith.bsky.social and @weinersmith.bsky.social arstechnica.com/space/2026/0...

I feel like I'm losing my goddamnned mind. This op-ed was written by Kathrine Mangu-Ward. Katherine is editor-in-chief of Reason magazine. Reason fired @shikhadalmia.bsky.social for being too anti-Trump.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

I can't speak for Peter, but I can tell you why I hated them: my childhood is now being monetized for at least the 3rd time.

Opening with "On Holiday" is an absolute choice.

"Cast in the name of God, Ye not guilty"

FAMU can't use the word Black on anything posted around campus related to Black History Month, to stay in compliance with Florida state laws against DEI. Black students can't use the word Black at their Historically Black College during Black History Month.
