Jeff Buckley was an artist too special for this world. Lover You Should've Come Over is such a powerful example of his stunning artistry. " Id give my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder " is imo one of the greatest lyrics of all time youtu.be/vLHcHWDvgfQ?...

Can’t reply to yours either, so let me say this: Read Courtney’s thread again because she is not saying that at all. If that’s what you got from it, you are sorely mistaken.
George Pearkes@peark.es · 4d agoCan’t reply to this so have to quote but is the contention that being armed did anything to advance Pretti’s cause? That’s quite a claim!
On the one hand, David Zaslav is the worst. Legitimately one of the worst executives in any industry of all time. On the other hand, does this really need a sequel? Does everything need to be a franchise?
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 5d ago‘BARBIE 2’ might happen with Greta Gerwig ready to begin writing the film. Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling & Greta Gerwig are all in talks to return but David Zaslav is currently refusing to pay what they're demanding, calling it “too generous.” (Source: www.nytimes.com/2026/07/31/b...)
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
folks the world cup is getting two christmases
Philippe Auclair@philippeauclair.bsky.social · last wk.New UEFA statement. "UEFA knows there is significant and growing opposition to FIFA’s scheme. FIFA cannot continue to use our sport to enrich themselves and their friends. We can grow the game correctly. It’s time to prioritise associations, clubs, leagues, players and fans"
"The greatest danger confronting universities today is not simply that certain viewpoints may receive greater attention than others; it is that political authorities increasingly seek to determine which viewpoints may legitimately exist at all." truthout.org/articles/hig...
Higher Ed Can’t Be Neutral in an Age of Brutality. It Must Choose Democracy.
Contemporary proponents of “institutional neutrality” fail to grasp that universities have never been outside politics.

When you set an Out of Office e-mail message there should be an option to set an additional message that goes out for two or three days afterward reminding people to be gentle with you while you try to claw your way out of the mountain of suddenly urgent tasks that descends on you upon your return 😓
being a billionaire and on the internet all day is crazy to me. if i had even five million dollars, you would not find me online whatsoever.
something i say a lot is that to me being gay, trans, etc, is a choice, not necessarily in the sense that it can be changed but that it takes a lot of courage to decide to live a way that is in direct confrontation with the way that you're told you're supposed to.
Eva Cid @evcdmr.bsky.social · 2w agoNo me gusta el lema de "la orientación sexual no se elige" porque parece que haya que respetarla solo por su cualidad de inevitable, una tolerancia forzosa, un "qué se le va a hacer". Si fuera una elección sería igualmente respetable. Soy lesbiana pero si fuese una elección yo elegiría ser lesbiana.
the nostalgia diner industry should have aged past the 50s. I should be able to go to an era-accurate 90s diner, served a room temp Fruitopia by staff in babydoll dresses, there should be a Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition machine against the wall. They could sell Desert Storm trading cards.
*shudders* The FCC Chair is absolutely right. My disdain for him and his political alignment set aside, he is bang on right about this.
Awful Announcing@awfulannouncing.bsky.social · 2w agoThe FCC is already weighing in on wanting a streamer to not get World Cup rights. awfulannouncing.com/soccer/brend...
Every single fucking time the question “how did this get worse,” the answer is motherfucking private equity.”
Louisa@louisathelast.bsky.social · 2w agoWell, this article is incredibly depressing for cooking enthusiasts. The short version: private equity has, over the last couple of decades, quietly bought up most of the classic brands you’ve heard of and then traded on their names while drastically cutting quality and closing American factories
I tried to write a joke about Arachnae. It was a complex web.
Maddy B. Hare@mbhare.eurosky.social · 2w agoI tried writing a joke about Atropos, but it doesn't cut it.
friends, please: don’t use transreads dot org they claim to support trans authors, but take our entire texts, post them for free, fundraise off it, and have the gall to claim it’s about preservation they are literally taking money from trans creators and make it harder for us to keep creating

Goofy is probably really good in bed. a tender and generous lover with great body awareness doing all kinds of crazy shit with his legs to really get in there. And he’s packing but like not weird about it

Most of the conversation about domes surrounds winter weather, but the reality is that extreme heat and wildfire smoke are just as likely to cancel games.
Hey. Social team. I'm doing this as a quote post so you'll see it. Given that the actual governor was just let go without a ticket for running a red, maybe you should consider hammering that. The abuse of power angle is something that will land more right now than "making things cost less".
Aaron D. Ford@aarondfordnv.bsky.social · 3w agoI hear it all the time on the campaign trail: the Lombardo-Trump economy is a complete failure for working Nevadans. Nevadans are working harder than ever, but too many still can’t afford gas, groceries, and rent. It’s time for a governor who is focused on making things cost less.
Pete Hegseth doesn’t want soldiers to be healthy, he wants them roided up. It’s not gender affirming care, it’s actually forced masculinization, where masculinity is defined explicitly as capacity for violence. This is “gender affirming” in the sense that Hitler gave his men free crystal meth.
victoria zeller🫛 (RISEBALL, summer ‘27)@dirtbagqueer.rocks · 3w agothis is why i hate when people do the “haha it’s gender affirming care” shit when cis people do it. it’s not gender affirming care it’s gender enforcing care
Describe your favorite musical as boringly as possible. a guy doesn't show up for his own 35th birthday party.

Neighborhood arcades. The flipping mall. The video store. Fast food restaurants where you could actually sit. Basketball courts and parks that weren't as tightly controlled as they are now. More bookstores. More coffeeshops. Most importantly, we didn't have a heavily militarized police force.
Zack Davisson@zackdavisson.com · 3w agoI ask as always: What were these mythical "third places that previous generations had available to them?" The whole idea of "third places" is just so much Camelot mythmaking.
