why does Duolingo think learning chess from an asshole is an effective tool
This post can't be reiterated enough to haughty bsky posters and the thread is a classic "why do you hate waffles (because you posted that you love pancakes)/i am very smart" brain-dead knee-jerk poster slop
Alaina Wood@thegarbagequeen.bsky.social · last mo.Saying "just buy an EV if you hate high gas prices" to poor people makes climate activists look out of touch. Those who are most impacted by high gas prices can't afford $20k+ on a vehicle and charger. I certainly can't, so let's keep that in mind before we shame people for not going electric.

Hi I made this Gamelan practice and transcription tool to help with rehearsals. Right now it is mostly focused around one instrument but it should be able to transcribe any tonal instrument in a gamelan ensemble as long as you can provide samples of every note ljferdinand.github.io/gamelan-practice/

I’m no UI expert but the IOS27 betas already make Liquid Glass feel a lot better. My phone feels new
@nextlander.com "I know everything!!!!" in the Spock's Brain ep is this a stealth Heatvision and Jack reference?! Deep cut.
The Mando movie could have done with 99% less shots of the Huttmaxxer speaking directly at the camera
I recall when a friend of mine back during the BLM movement told me that if people reject the cause then the logical conclusion is that No Lives Matter & I thought I understood what he meant philosophically but living through the explosion of global suffering since I see now that he meant materially

Van Badham@vanbadham.bsky.social · 6mo agoThis image REALLY WAS posted from Trump’s “Truth Social” account and, fortunately, the bible itself reminds everyone that when a “man of lawlessness” drunk on earthly power declares himself a god, he is defeated by the combined force of everyone who sticks with the truth. 2 Thessalonians 2, nerds.

I swear the granola at Madeleine’s is just crumbled up oatmeal cookies with some dried cherries thrown in and I applaud them for admitting this is all we really want from granola
"The great artist must be pied-piper AND exterminator, simultaneously. His piping must be seductively lyrical; His knife must be fast and sharp." Check out John Fahey at his performing peak, live in 1974: doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/8126126...

@gruber.foo neo’s got to be a play for the large scale adoption of iPads, chromebooks and terrible low-end pcs in education. Any school that distributes iPads already has the mdm infrastructure to manage Neos, and the performance and manageability over similarly priced pcs has to be substantial.

Remembering when Beto was seen as a new dem fave and how weirdly terrified he was to talk about American oligarchy. I wonder if it will make a difference with Talarico.
This was an invented moral panic. The NYT and Fox News ran more stories about trans people than the Advocate, an explicitly LGBTQ publication. It was the exact same story in the UK. The media fanned the flames of a moral panic.
Jesspooka Kant 🎃@jessdkant.bsky.social · 9mo agoJust started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.
They plowed one through street in my neighborhood but they’re not doing any cross streets, I guess, so if you live in a cross street you’re stuck behind an ice wall on either side
I wonder if there are any class action lawyers interested in looking into Uber and Walmart’s exploitive and illegal tactics as they abuse drivers
(sagely) there are three genres. Music that is "fun," music that is "boring," and music that is regrettably neither of those things.
