i’m begging yall to read how the pt took power in brazil. if we’re lucky and work hard we can do it without the dictatorship part

coffee-drinking nerds moaning about how bad smoking smells is hilarious. that shit smells awful to me and i’ve burned most of my olfactory cells out by smoking. i got yelled at for smoking outside near a stinky dumpster in santa monica. grow up. you breathe smog all day. let me die in peace

metaposting should make you ineligible to post for at least a week (this post counts)

what if keeping your car idling 24/7 could draw mpreg spidermen who use autocorrect to pretend to be your boyfriend

jills go crazy for a sharp depressed man

really bummed about kaleb horton. what a loss.

bluesky is the only place people with masters degrees post stuff like this

Bluesky has too many people with masters degrees posting "kush got me feeling like the Irish Alf"

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

just realized that three body problem is just 'what if you made a whole tv show just out of the jeff goldblum part at the beginning of independence day'

unforch retrofitting every car built in the past with a speed governor or outlawing old cars would be some of the worst possible things to do if you care about climate change

My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area. (15 in Manhattan btw)

‘spending massive amounts of compute on making content with an audience of one’ is the kind of genius idea that only the true chosen ones could come up with

Okay one reason why this concept won’t work is because nobody else wants to see the fake tv show you created with prompts. The only ones that will get traction will be the shitposting ideas, which will lead to lawsuits and c&d orders from the rights holders variety.com/2025/digital...

‘everyone should subject themselves to stupid propaganda made to anger and engage them’ is such a funny idea taken seriously. i am not immune to propaganda. i’m not going on the propaganda site

universal programs are a public good in se! there is a ton of research and writing on administrative burden and programmatic universalism that directly opposes these positions and isn’t appearing in The News. there’s a reason for that and it’s not a good faith policy disagreement

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social · last yr.

Everyone is dunking on this piece but I think it's worth taking seriously. There's been good-faith debate among urbanists for years about whether free fares offer the best bang for the buck. It's OK to support a candidate and still subject their policies to scrutiny! slate.com/business/202...

gotta come up with a different word than ratfucking for whatever this is. crabfucking?

Former Gov. David Paterson is calling a press conference tomorrow to try to get all the anti-Zohran candidates to work together. Paterson, the first Black governor of NY, is a conservative Dem who backed Andrew Cuomo in the primary.

if you follow me and you follow 10x more people than follow you i’m gonna block you. no question

No one here thinks Bluesky is good we just think it is better than every other social media site which are all in a 200 website last place tie for “worst website not currently being investigated by Interpol”

why would you not punish use of the plagiarism machine as plagiarism. you didn’t write it in your own words or cite the source it’s an academic integrity office issue?

New research from MIT found that those who used ChatGPT can’t remember any of the content of their essays. Key takeaway: the product doesn’t suffer, but the process does. And when it comes to essays, the process *is* how they learn. arxiv.org/pdf/2506.088...

the ten most dangerous words in the english language are “there oughta be another law about something that’s already illegal”
