Finally got around to watching The Bone Temple recently and I liked it. Hoping the sequel isn't contingent entirely on The Bone Temple doing well cuz it didn't seem like it did well at the box office and now I gotta see how it ends.

One way to avoid ragebaity articles is to block outlets that engage in that sort of thing, for example trash rags like The Verge
there are definitely downsides to the nuclear block but the reason I keep coming back to it as necessary and good is that it completely ruined the whole MAGA engagement model to the point that they prefer to mock us from the nazi bar rather than come here to troll us directly
John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 2d agoBluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit
Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up
The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
Opinion pages are now just rich people complaining about having to contribute to society.
USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d agoOpinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.
Not a big fan of the "sick, elderly and/or disabled people don't count" discourse that appears to follow public health disasters these days.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · 2d agoBreaking News: Two deaths in Michigan have been linked to cyclospora. Both people who had the parasite also had underlying health issues.
The whole outside smells like bbq and the sun is red. Is that good?
After years of getting the "#1 Super Jump Spot" medal nearly every game regardless of weapon or strategy choice in Splatoon 3 I finally just embraced it and switched to a backline weapon (Explosher) and that was definitely the right move
Shitty scooter I bought a couple of months ago has officially paid for itself by me not having to pay bus fares anymore. For being a shitty scooter this thing is pretty great
can't believe the guy who jangles keys three times a week for view counts would do this, personally
there's clearly no point in scolding most people for their indifference to anti-trans bigotry. the refusal to leave Harry Potter behind, the hemming and hawing about the NYT's puzzles. people won't even put down their toys for us. I cannot express the white-hot frustration boiling in my stomach.
the problem is that once i grew used to the hat it was taken away and i liked the show a whole lot less from then on
Gore Vidal Sassoon@jimmyjazz1968.bsky.social · 6d agoThis is my 4th time trying to get into the Expanse and I just can’t get past this goddamn hat. You’re in space bro why do you look like a ska band bass player
You can just decide to post bad all day if you want. It's not a big deal. Nobody is looking at this website but us.
I probably won't need to explain bitwise stuff for a while but I did throw together a fun toy
Oh yeah well MY computer also went rogue where is my billions
Palmer Luckey's hair cut and facial hair are also a war crime
At least there's still one lettuce that won't give you diarrhea. That's right, the Devil's lettuce.
Anyway, shoutout @puzzmo.com , an app that also has good word games and whatnot that isn’t referenced by name in legislation pushing trans people out of public life
Focusing on the n64 is so funny because while it contains heaters it has like 388 games. Get a PlayStation! Get a Nintendo DS and 12 dollar flash cart!
the proliferation of people wearing this XX shit in public is so fuckin revolting, man
you want a massive job boom? destroy all automation
massive job displacement? copyright nightmare?? huge electricity and resource use? data centers?? you mean *computers*??
Yes! This drives me fucking nuts, and it's so prevalent. In most cases it adds nothing, and in many cases it actually destroys any potential suspense! Start your stories at the beginning, unless you have a clever reason not to, which you probably don't!
