heyo @richardkadrey.bsky.social i need to complete my Sandman Slim digital collection and was wondering what the best platform for you is, my preferred friendly local bookstore doesn't have a relationship with anyone and I just wanna be able to read on my devices
sorry to any pals who are Timbers fans but it was pretty awesome to have been asked by the kiddo "who's going to score first and who's gonna win", have a whole conversation about predictions vs results, and then get to see Austin FC win 1-2 that Svatok goal was a fun watch

Mekka Okereke@mekka.mekka-tech.com · 3d agoIf you could reduce voter suppression and discouragement in Harris county by 10% below what it normally is? Talarico cannot lose. $1 donated to an org that fights voter suppression, is more valuable than $1 donated to more campaign ads.🤷🏿♂️ Every voter that wants to vote, should be able to.
issuing correction on a previous post of mine. you do not, under any circumstances, "gotta respect the hustle."
trying to maintain the peace found in not chasing after the thoughts directly resulting from reading the words of stubbornly intolerant people who have influence and instead focusing on questions like "what is the effect of other people's belief or tolerance for these deranged rants"
Maybe so. But it is not always so. If times change and we lose Tassajara and move to another mountain, the way we have here cannot be the same way we will have there.
"Words like ‘genocide’ and ‘apartheid,’ applied to a corporate transaction, aren’t just wrong — they’re a bridge too far, and they cheapen the very real suffering those words are meant to describe." lol, sure, IBM probably tried to make the same point but the facts stand
to the cute couple examining and discussing the look of various Meta Glasses in the Best Buy last night: yes, when you heard me exclaim "ooh, Pervert Glasses" so loudly I was very aware you could hear me
I see @varlock.dev followed me the same day I completely botched a meetup demo about how to use it because I was overzealous and didn't test the proxy beforehand. coincidence?
I remember this one time I was helping someone who had lost their home when their neighbor's spouse torched their house and the fire spread get clothes from the donations we provided to anyone who needed them.
i know it's 97F outside and my guy needs a haircut but we took an after-lunch 1.5 mile walk with plenty of shade and water breaks and he's out like i was dragging him behind a bike goin downhill
it's been a very nice day but it's time for bed now oh ok then, i'll toss it one more time
a classmate in a college physics course started crying when they learned that the bohr model of the atom with little balls zooming around a nucleus isn't a direct representation of how electrons work, it was powerful to witness "why would they lie to us for all these years"

Did you know that it's illegal to say "I want to kill The Presidents of the United States of America"? It's illegal, it's a federal offense. It's one of the only sentences that you're not allowed to say. Now it was okay for me to say it right then because I was just telling you that it's illegal to
Google Takeout was designed to keep you from saving things outside of Google's walled garden. Usability wise it's on par with tools like CA/Broadcom Rally and Workday, clearly designed for someone entirely other than the person who needs to use it most. Dark Pattern BS. I absolutely hate it.
