aside from queer rights & medical advances which feel the biggest to me, it is nice to have any music I want on demand. you used to have to collect CDs or tapes & you generally could only listen to albums in order, making your own mix was a big effort. now you can pop out a playlist in like 10 mins

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

air travel is one of those experiences that has gotten monotonically worse over my entire lifetime

question though: has *anything* in the last 40+ years genuinely gotten *better*?

like, there's *more* stuff, sure, but is any of it *better*?

In 1986, contracting HIV meant you were going to die, usually slowly, painfully, and alone. Now it's a chronic illness like hypertension. In 1986, gay and lesbian couples couldn't have their relationships legally recognized and had to adopt elaborate legal workarounds.

between Microsoft killing Xbox, Sony shooting itself in the face, and now EA getting bought by this bullshit, the only game studios left will be Larian, CDPR, and some trans girl in her wife's basement painstakingly placing pixels one by one into a masterpiece that will be released in 40 years.

so i read a bunch of reviews of my dinner with Andre, and they were all saying how boring and how much of a slog it was to get through. reader, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I haven't been that engaged by a movie in years.

Nor do we want to be on Truth Social. I would hate to find a welcome home there. I would hate to be somebody who would be palatable to such a place. We don't go on Truth, because nobody needs bullies. They *do* try to come on Bluesky, because bullies need the rest of us.

The burden is always on us lefties to welcome them, debate them, compromise with them, find middle ground, and generally make them comfortable. It’s totally one directional. No one is calling for Truth Social to make any room for us.

My thoughts on Bluesky not being welcoming to Republicans is Trump blocks disaster relief to states voting blue, & is also legally codifying anyone who opposes him as a terrorist deserving violence, & his kidnapping brute gangs terrorize the streets, & there's much more but I'm out of characters

"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care

Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.

people who complain about this really just mean that they want a silver bullet to do it right the first time, when in reality you have to write so much absolute shit before you get something even remotely good. it's a craft. you have to actually work at it, and this annoys them

Seeing complaints online that authors 'gatekeep' information…! Absolute nonsense. There is no industry or craft in the world which is so comprehensively written about, studied, and discussed as fiction writing, and every author I know welcomes new writers who are serious about giving it a go.

Its embarrassing how many grown ass adults live in these fantasies where people work for some nonsense like the artificial cultures oligarchs manufacture over survival.

Dumbass CEO of Anthropic thinks people should work for the "corporate mission" over survival.

The pedophile-protector party is going to confirm President Epstein’s personal lawyer to be the top cop in the land. We have reached peak pedocracy.

The shaman of Bad Dürrenberg are the remains of a 25-35 year old woman, who was buried 8600 to 9000 year ago in Germany. Around her, were the remains of an extraordinary head-dress, made from the bones and teeth of different animals such as deer, wild boar, crane and turtle.

We impeached but never convicted him Had four years and mountains of evidence but never held a federal trial Convicted him at the state level on 34 felony counts and then levied no punishment, not even probation Tell me what, in all of this, would lead me to believe he’ll be held to account
