Let me share my lifelong dream for the left: taking over fraternal organizations (Moose, Oddfellows, Etc.) They are 501c8s, which is basically impossible to get now. Most of them own property, they often have liquor licenses that are grandfathered in. We could have clubhouses!

Bluesky has its first user charged with federal crimes! Congrats @georgesantos.bsky.social 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Washington state gambling regulations allow chicken shit bingo but they use the phrase “plops” 😐

It’s finally happening! I’m going to livestream some Bluesky development starting at 11AM CT tomorrow (Sunday). Join us! https://www.youtube.com/live/D6FBGfrXazw?feature=share

I trained a ML model on Eastern European table tennis matches and bet $680 on its predictions 🍿🍿🍿

📢 Hey friends! We've got a Web app for you to try! https://staging.bsky.app/ This is an early staging build. There are lots of rough edges still and it only works on desktop, but it definitely works! Enjoy and let us know how it goes!

Woah this is crazy

Mental Poker is one of my favorite bits of weird cryptography https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_poker

I was trying to register a homoglyph of lilly.com to recreate the blue check fiasco but it’s apparently harder than I expected to register IDN domains

I would’ve thought bring-your-own-domain would cool the rush to try and get an early username but I guess people just really want in?
