i don't have skin the game for the Current Thing beyond getting annoyed, both that a bunch of smart people who definitely know better Felt Ways Online in full view of a zillion people who don't yet, and that they should be able to do this and can't. the sharp whirling blades don't care who they cut.
an Artist is not required to explain, defend, or justify their Art and that abscence is not a reliable indicator of their motivation, message, state of mind, or beliefs. sometimes prompting reflection on your reaction to the work is the point. sit with it awhile, learn something about you

Tofte ➡️ Camp Feral@tofte.bsky.social · 3d agoI am shocked to see people I like and respect malign @toledo.bsky.social, one of the kindest and most thoughtful people I know. Engage with his work or don't, like it or don't. But every single person calling him a cult propagandist is being willfully ignorant and/or malicious and should be ashamed
“I was asked not to mention the Times at all. I’m choosing not to honor that norm, b/c silence abt how accountability journalism gets suppressed is itself a form of suppression.” Read the back story of how @nytimes.com and @thebulwark.com killed @adambonica.bsky.social’s piece. What a mf badass.

can't buy the battery station separately, but i can get almost enough of the replacement parts to construct my own battery station this is extremely ifixit coded yeah yeah the pack is nice but it's $250 or $80 for the iron alone
i'm trying to talk myself into buying the battery station for that little ifixit iron because the usb lead is too short to work from a wall outlet and i don't have a stronk enough charger. but i really, really don't want any more batteries in my life that won't be used at least 3 times a week...
arstechnica.com/information-... this sucks but 50TB is n o t h i n g why doesn't the station have an LTO mech in the rack, or on prem? it's 2 tapes, maybe one if any of the files compress. that's just negligence pure and simple

this is what is supposed to happen. bluesky was never the product, it's atproto. unless you account for the 3rd party appviews and pds and non-twitter-like uses for atproto, you don't have the full picture and probably overindexed on normie accounts that showed up and thought it was mid.
Dare Obasanjo@carnage4life.bsky.social · last wk.Bluesky has seen over 25% declines in daily and monthly users in the past year and has lost half its regular users from the 2024 election spike.

lmao @dansavage.bsky.social daring to invoke disney furries in a listener question about whether secret perving is ethical (yes). time to warm up the popcorn cannon
