It took me A While to shut up and accept the first 30 minutes or so, but "Wake Up Dead Man" is a work of art that I recommend. Attached screenshot spoils nothing, but it may be funny if you can parse those letters. It helps if you are aware of professional wrestling's fandom.

gr (he/him)@0x6772.bsky.social · 8mo agoI took zero photos, even though I was manning several corners (and then catching the front) because gloves and phone fiddling don’t play well together. But I’m sure some will appear via @bcgp.bsky.social & @wednightrides.org soon.
Hey kids, QR codes (and their ability to be recognized on curved surfaces, maybe with small obstructions) actually have legitimate industrial and commercial use!
If you haven't (and you, statistically, probably haven't) consumed @unwoman.com's Eldritch reinterpretation (it's not just a "cover") of Dolly Parton's "Jolene", I recommend that you do. (Yes, you'll need to pay for it. Suck it up and support Art.) unwoman.bandcamp.com/track/the-el...

When this spam sneaks past my several layers of filter, it's always *laughably* bad, but I don't blame SpamAssassin (et al) for failing to catch the first pass of this (or similar) scam[1]. But, I'm sorry, dudes: if any "Eclipsed HR Team" exists, it's just me. The whole thing's just me.

I don’t “know things” in this domain, but an IPO seems stupid, that’s not enough money, and the “orbital DC” plan (I do have experience maintaining DCs) is an insane choice of a project to pitch to investors. Elon, disregarding all else, needs someone to tell him, “No.” ground.news/article/spac...

While you don't need to be a football (ie, soccer) fan to enjoy Chloe Petts's "Comedians Taking Penalties" (www.youtube.com/@ComediansTa...), you might be a bit lost if you are also unfamiliar with the UK @taskmaster.tv, and those who've competed in it. But: I recommend it!

Well, shit, @wtyppod.bsky.social / @postoctobrist.bsky.social, you now need an Airbus t-shirt (with the Boeing and McDonnell Douglas ones). I recommend actual photos of a solar flare or just a sunset motif as the backdrop: Airbus's corporate logo is terminally boring. ground.news/article/airb...

It was a bit drizzly for 26 November’s @wednightrides.org, and the night before a travel holiday, but a pretty good turnout despite that. Photos from Jody Pinto’s “Land Buoy” on the Washington Ave Green.

Hey, if you’d like to demonstrate to yourself how this generation of commercially-available “AI” (generally large-corpus written language models, most structured around hidden-node Markov chains) can’t, ya know, “think”, try this: 1. “Write” a shopping list. 2. Provide that to the model.
Huh. On balance (where my balance is that I can pick a bunch of stuff, but I'm amateur at best), this seems like a pretty good padlock. youtu.be/zKeHRLux42s

I've long been a strong proponent of, and acted upon, collective support for my several communities. I've never received it as directly as I did this evening. Thank you! You know who you are.
Not just SEPTA: PRT and every transit system in every smaller city, town, and municipality across the state. National Dems caving with no tangible movement on health care was not a model to emulate, you idiots.
Civic Grit@civicgrit.bsky.social · 9mo agoThis deal apparently includes no funding for transit, and major concessions to Republicans. Democrats tossed Philly under the bus yet Republicans continued to press for more and Dems caved further. Republicans and Democrats alike have failed Philly and SEPTA.
