I guess I’m just looking for a social media experience that’s more about blowing off some steam or getting these jokes off than being all up in every aspect of everybody’s business all the time. To me that’s exactly where shit went sideways.

Ok how do I turn off Liked By

Great, as Paizo & Green Ronin are getting their stolen stock back. Also, great that Sparkle Pop (new-Diamond) is being forced to give back money from selling stolen goods. And that the distribution deals are ended. That's all big for individual rights over corrupt corporate interests.

Today the UK is putting into practice aggressive restrictions on trans people using toilets and changing rooms. This follows a complex legal/political mess over two years.

Deeply amused that I can’t actually see the people claiming that their folk etymology of “god willing and the creek don’t rise” is true. I went on skythread and checked, and they’re not other people’s blocks, they’re mine.

Its good actually when Democrats come together after a primary and acknowledge that Republicans are actually the real threat and should be kept out of office at all costs.

As others (including Wilson!) note - It's fine to make a modern guy with modern guy problems but call it The Odyssey. That's wholly in line with how myth is used. It's not fine (with me) to write really bad sentences. That's when I nope out.

"I also cringed when Odysseus says to Penelope during their first meeting when he is disguised as a beggar, “Our age of bronze is collapsing.” ... no one during the Bronze Age knew they were living in the Bronze Age." This to me is when I gave up on actually liking the film overall.

Bahahaha, rumor has it that the sinfest asshole is trying to get donations or it might mean the end of sinfest! Hope he crashes and burns.

Huh. I missed that this was happening what with, well, everything everywhere, but in case you did too, no more EA games from now on either.

We got my cat a bag of 50 pompoms for like… 2 dollars I think? idk, point is, if you can afford to feed your cat you can give them crap to play with.

Cats of Yore@catsofyore.bsky.social · yesterday

Someone once told me that it's "classist" to advocate for people to have indoor cats because you need to buy them lots of expensive toys. Marcel has been playing with the discarded stem of a fresh green bean for 20 minutes. 🤷‍♀️

I feel like I must have some weirdness with my eyes or be missing some brain bit everyone else has, because other than being monstrously ugly? These don’t hurt me. Tbc this is hideous, and probably a trip hazard- I just don’t have the visceral reaction everyone else seems to.

Like. Do we WANT a toxic culture of doubling down, coverups, & never admitting mistakes? Because "any admission of error can fuck you up worse than pretending you never messed up at all" is how you GET a toxic culture of doubling down, coverups, & never admitting mistakes.

Is there a way to disable the “person you follow liked this post” tags?

I swear to God, part of the problem of literacy is that we make kids read SO MANY books like this. Of course they’re going to associate reading with misery! We put them in a Skinner box and shock them when they read, what did people THINK would happen?

Nick Harkaway@nickharkaway.com · yesterday

Having ranted about school curriculum books, I’ve just seen my son’s summer reading list, and all I can say is “I was right”. A more depressing collection would be tricky to assemble. Are we actively trying to convey to kids the idea that reading is dismal and arduous?

Listen. If you're worried about losing your precious online harassment privileges 💀 there are still plenty of people & institutions that are doubling down, covering up, & never admitting they made a mistake. It's so easy to focus on them

this should get so much more attention — two states within 3 weeks have made major moves on rights restoration.

There are two wolves. One always lies. One controls the lever of trolley track. They're in a state of superposition inside a box. On the trolley are infinite monkeys at infinite typewriters going to an infinite hotel. The trolley must first travel halfway, but before that a quarterway, and so on...

Sing in me, Muse, of the wolf of many turnings. I heard a wolf howl—when I died. The wolf has eaten the plums that were in the icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast. My name is Ozymandias, wolf of wolves: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!

Heat pumps are winning Americans over. In the first quarter they outsold fossil-fuel furnaces by 32%, the fourth year running that manufacturers have shipped more heat pumps than furnaces. Nearly half of new US homes built in 2024 came with one. Grist buff.ly/I8XwuLA #ShareGoodNewsToo

The US may be hitting a tipping point for heat pumps

In the first quarter of this year, heat pump sales beat fossil fuel furnaces by 32 percent. Here's what makes the appliance so powerful.

Anybody at @moderation.bsky.app want to try to explain why they suspended @matthewcort.land, ANOTHER of the most prominent people out here fighting for disabled and marginalized people? Like… are y'all planning to suspend/ban literally every disabled legal scholar/policy worker out here, orrrr…?

ali alkhatib@ali-alkhatib.com · 2d ago

anyway, if you're looking for Matthew Cortland, you should sub to their patreon since they're a disabled lawyer evidently getting deplatformed from places.

heard an interview recently with an anonmyous wall street bro who said his employer would not subscribe to the president's truth social insider trading scheme because they did not want to go to prison when the rule of law returns

It always blows my mind that people are so willing to die on the hill of means testing school lunches. "But then wealthier kids might get a handout too!!" who cares. Seriously. I've never understood why anyone would even care if that happened.

what it comes down to is this. everyone who attends a public school should get a free lunch. period. you cannot means test a child's hunger. if you try, sorry not sorry, you're doing eugenics. fix your fucking heart or die.
