"Fell on Black Days" mashed up with "Kashmir" works remarkably well.

Four-plus hour Namecheap outage is giving me flashbacks to when Leaseweb's Virginia facility went down for a day back in 2019 and we just got a shrug from them.

Seems to show how out of touch the soon-to-be senior Senator from Michigan is that her chosen candidate in the primary for her old House seat finished third in the primary.

All Mixed Up on #SXMLithium is killing it tonight.

This whole thread is great

America is ruled by angry men who don't like hearing no. Make it easier to tell them no, systemically, and who knows what we could accomplish individually.

Call 1-844-ABDUL-4-U (1-844-223-8548) to hear more about my platform! Seriously, call it, it's a real number.

once again I am asking for a democratic party that actually does what republicans claim they will do

Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes ... you don't want to see me cry."

That whole "I don't have time for the breakdown that I deserve" thing hitting hard today.

Don’t look at me like that’s my fault. I’m just telling you shit I know.

people have let this shit become so fucking normalized that they've forgotten that cops, including ICE and their ilk, aren't supposed to murder guilty people either.

Molly nails it. Every Democratic elected official tweeting this slop: You do not have to twist yourself to find praise for a dead Vichyite remora from your country club.

“He was a warmonger but he was fun at dinner parties.” Just stop.

I love how every time my ex's health insurance changes, my insurance freaks the hell out about coordination of benefits our daughter. And every time, I'm told I can use their website to provide this new information but their website expects the kid to be covered by one parent or the other.

Dude, actual leftist extremists would be calling for the forced seizure of wealth for redistribution, destruction of the capitalist system, radical measures to stem climate change, and more. Not “let’s tax rich people a little more and give kids free lunch.”

We are witnessing MAGA equivalent of destruction of Democratic Party through election of progressive Socialists. If you think this ends well for country, I believe you're sadly mistaken. Extremism on one side simply fuels opposite growth on other side. We need moderates.

"That doesn't work as a love story on the page. There's just too many red flags." @natcassidy.bsky.social describing what works in prose vs. what works on the stage in tonight's @novelnightmares.bsky.social meetup.

This "bluesky is a bubble" conversation is strange. Like, I'm not on Twitter because I don't like hanging out where large numbers of people I don't like are. Like, is my house a bubble? I don't invite people I don't like around ours. I choose to go to concerts by musicians, or ...

Puzzled about a last-minute gift for mom? Come see us and over 100 other vendors out at Fenton High School for the Michigan Makers Spring Fling from 10:00 to 3:00 today! #getsopuzzled #jigsawpuzzles #puzzler #puzzlelife #puzzlefun #michigander #michiganbusiness

Setting up for today's @getsopuzzled.com show and the booth next to us has giant LED lights that are driving me absolutely insane. My autistic ass is not meant for the scenarios I put it in.

“enjoy getting your data stolen by china” girl i have a google account there is nothing you could do to my data that hasn’t already been done

"I need a ballroom or someone will shoot me" are you hearing yourself. You sound like a deleted scene from Clueless

Something we don’t address enough is how many people, especially adults, do not have a working imagination.

We're out at Vibe Credit Union Showplace in Novi at the Michigan Makers Spring Craft Show today! Come get out of the rain and talk puzzles with us! #getsopuzzled #jigsawpuzzles #puzzler #puzzlelife #puzzlefun #michigander #michiganbusiness

i get why folks want this to be a “bsky uses ai” problem and it could be, also could be the upstream provider using ai! downtime happened long before ai though and i think the real problem is that <5 companies control how we get things and keep things online

Hitting me today that I need to give myself, like, a week to recover from the emotional effort from a three-hour family event. FFS...

“I will NOT sacrifice the Oxford comma. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They assimilate the em dash and we fall back. They capture ‘not just X but y’ and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further!”

The surprise is not the incident/outage, it's that anything on the Internet ever works at all. The amount of hard work/smarts/skill/expertise involved in everything that keeps it running is astounding.

What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?

If I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.
