I betcha all those "vote blue no matter who" people are primed to hit CRTL-V in response to all those who will say "not my candidate".
Pam Keith@pamkeithdc.bsky.social · 10h agoHell YEAHSSSSSs!!! Abdul El Sayed is the Dem nominee for MI. It was closer than I expected. After all, 60 Million dollars buys a lot. But this time, it didn’t buy enough. Organized people beat organized money!
Very much the same here and have been for years. Cookies too. If I can't reject all within 2 clicks it is back button and no regrets. Imagine the cheek of asking people to pay to keep their browsing habits private? Absolute scum.
There is no website so important to me that I will disable the very basic ad blocker I use. As soon as I see the requests to do so, I guiltlessly and immediately hit the [BACK] button.
Zack Whittaker@zackwhittaker.com · yesterdayBy me at this.weekinsecurity.com: A major online ads company that claims to serve 1.5 billion ads a day was hacked and began serving malware designed to steal a person's crypto. This is the latest perfect example why you should use an ad-blocker.

This is literally the shit we used to make fun of Kim Jong-il for!
IrishStar.com@irishstar.com · 3d agoPresident Donald Trump reportedly shot a 70 at his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, claiming yet another senior and club championship victory — adding to what's said to be more than 40 wins across his properties.
This is many years old (perhaps 2021?), but I thought maybe I should post my Shrek With A Pearl Onion Earring painting on this account
New grandson just dropped! Welcome to the world little one ❤️
My children caught covid at school and as a result nearly lost one of their parents. Other children were not as lucky. Covid was definitely a threat to them.
Lewis Goodall@lewisgoodall.com · 4d agoCovid was- overwhelmingly- not a threat to children. Hence why (generally) we don’t vaccinate them now.
I spent today running a training for artists on Ideas Generation and it was so much fun! A few months ago I was in Wexford running training on social media for artists & I enjoyed it so much I thought "what else can I teach others?" I hit upon Idea Generation & now that's also a thing I do! Go me ☺️

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.

Conservative or right wing politics is only for the rich or big corporations. Citizens are just working material to increase profits. The more social benefits are saved, the more the pressure and fear do not fall into a hole and the profits increase. This is the case in Ireland, Germany, overall.

John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 5d agoI've written a longer piece on the book that's been pulled due to "AI" use allegations, what that means particularly for newer authors, and what, if anything writers can do in the "AI" era to prove their work is their own: whatever.scalzi.com/2026/07/31/a...
