I continue to be disappointed by our government. The ban on trans health care for minors passing the House is a disgrace and I'm so tired of these assaults on vulnerable kids. I can only hope the bill fails to pass the Senate.

This is like paying the guys that robbed your house to also burn it down.

I'm currently playing The Sims 3 with all the expansions and it's got some truly cursed gameplay. I currently have an army of robots that travel to the future and bring back winning lottery numbers.

I haven't played it since childhood, but Tokobot is a great game that I'd love to replay.

Feeling cute today

There's a 4 hour Defunctland out now. That's going to mess with my sleep schedule.

no, they didn't. no, they aren't.

Every day we get a little closer to living in a Cory Doctorow novel. apnews.com/article/immi...

Way too many of y'all dream of BlueSky. Just posting about shit like "last week I had a dream that alf hog was a trending topic" like that's normal behavior. If this is you, you need a detox.

Folks, the way I see it: you can break BlueSky's rules and they won't have the capacity to ban you for a month. It's basically the wild west. Depending on your views on moderation this is either great or awful news.

Kinda wild to see a VPN advertise a product other than some bogus privacy claim: "checking your BlueSky DMs 😉"

I AM TIRED OF EARTH. THESE PEOPLE. I AM TIRED OF BEING CAUGHT IN THE TANGLE OF THEIR LIVES.

I told my mom the second gas hit $2.99 Trump was gonna say he brought the price down to $2.

Very curious how Rockstar does some union busting and a few days later GTAVI is delayed. Game blogs remain flabbergasted by the continued wait.

ChatGPT when I tell it my friends don't think I'm the smartest baby of 1996.

I'm watching Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill with a friend and said to her "I want a video game where your familiars carry you and your lack of skills" and then realized I was describing Pokemon.

I voted, and only got mis-gendered by one poll worker a bunch.

"Here's why you should reinstall Windows 11 every two months - no, I'm not kidding" This is an actual article published in techradar. I don't often push Linux, but I left my NixOS server on for a full year with no problems and these fools can't even keep an OS running for a season.

Desperately asking Claude how do I increase my Bacon Number before a government hit squad comes to my house to do an extrajudicial killing.

So, I think with the whole dislike thing, I don't like the whole "social neighborhood" of it all. Sometimes I wish there was just a big switch labeled "algorithm" I could turn off and choose not to feed the beast that way.

We already had dislikes, it's called blocking.

Exciting cross cultural events are happening at walmart

I just wanna lay in bed today

Just got a text from the DTA (the agency responsible for issuing SNAP in Massachusetts) laying out very clearly who's responsible for not issuing SNAP benefits this month & why your benefits might go down next month, too (Trump) #SNAP

Out to see Hobo Johnson with my best friend Ashley tonight

I like the AI labeler as a concept, but as AI tools get better I've seen my first false positive. A false positive is similar to a ban for a service like a labeler; as some users use it to outright moderate their feeds, and there is no way to override it.

LOL, The Outer Worlds 2 leaked. If I wasn't on Linux I might give it a shot, but I mostly rely on Steam to make installing games painless.

Ok. From the photo alone I think this needs to be a movie.

It's literally Mexican Coke. As I've been saying from day one this is an attempt to force Coke to rebrand its Mexican Coke to appeal to nationalists.

I didn't have topless women on the White House homepage on my 2025 bingo card. What's wrong with this administration.

the Macintosh System 7 was the first W I D E S C R E E N Macintosh.

i think itd be neat if urbain and taunie were the same person just presenting differently #pokemon

the fact that dick van dyke didn't transition is in itself proof of the limits of nominative determinism

Years of overcorrecting for my bad handwriting has taught me French apparently.

Initially thought this was just a preprinted note card, but the comments seem to indicate it's a proprietary $100 note card stand/preprinted note card set. Seems a bit excessive. You could get a nice planner for that.

Just saw my first Pokemon Z-A leak. I've been avoiding spoilers for the game like crazy. I guess I'll be staying off social media for a bit.

In 2004, Parisian police were conducting a training exercise in the french catacombs and found, after moving past a desk and a tape playing audio of snarling dogs, a fully functional movie theater and bar. When they returned 3 days later, the equipment was gone, with a note: “Do not try to find us.”

Hey all! As I mentioned earlier I'm gonna be posting more on Mastodon. I've got a bridge setup so you can follow me: @fidget.social.birdinter.net.ap.brid.gy If you follow @ap.brid.gy you'll automatically post on Mastodon too!

Hey all! The latest kerfuffle between trans people and the mods here made it clear that BlueSky's moderation model is struggling. I'm still going to be on BlueSky because there's a ton of talented artists here, but I'm gonna try to move some of my posting onto Mastodon. social.birdinter.net/@fidget

I don't really do horror, but I'd go see a gritty remake of the Futurama episode with Fry's dog if the trailer had a choir singing an extremely dramatic version of "I'm Walking on Sunshine"

I guess I'm chiming in on the waffles controversy. One argument I'm hearing a lot is "just self-host if you don't like our moderation decisions." That only works if I want LESS moderation on my account, not MORE moderation on the big general purpose instance.
