Things that aren't great: fire alarm going off at 3am Things that are even less great: re-entering the building to see police on a different floor than the one the smoke smell & firefighters were on and hearing them say "definitely blood on the floor" 😬 (Neither was on my floor though)
The asshole administration is planning to remove the mining buffer around Chaco Canyon in New Mexico. This is being done without tribal or expert input and the public comment time is incredibly, and cowardly short. Please comment to help try and save Chaco. www.koat.com/article/chac...
Chaco Canyon public comment period opens, as BLM proposes reopening 336,000 acres to mineral leasing

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

![3-panel comic. (1) PERSON 1 behind podium on stage: We all hate springing forward. But we love falling back. (2) [Audience pictured listening] PERSON 1: Therefore, we are abolishing the *spring* time change *only*. We’ll gain an hour every year, but never lose one. (3) PERSON OFF-PANEL: Won’t that cause the clocks to spiral out of sync with the sun? PERSON 1 holding up a fist: *Then we will meet the chaos clear-eyed and well-rested!*](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cz73r7iyiqn26upot4jtjdhk/bafkreidl5ovrvqzuhtr6ygqwtdjes2qraloyxtxqrvjwu7xxxersawskde)
Very rarely do real people feature in my dreams... ...which is how I know I'm being oversaturated by movie ads right now 'cause last night's dream was a spy joint starring Tom Holland. Like, straight up starring him as a not-Tom-himself character who I recognized in the dream as being played BY Tom
It's probably not great that all the pictures of New England the past couple of days have looked like how American movies color grade everything yellow to let you know you're in Mexico now... (It's wildfire smoke from Canada)
Am I a grown-ass person? Yes. Do I have any children in my life? Not regularly, no. Am I currently sitting eating charcuterie on my living room floor surrounded by every plush bear I could find in this house because July 10th is Teddy Bears' Picnic Day? ABSOLUTELY. 🧸 🐻 🧸

So you know how when people share screenshots of Tumblr posts to FB they sensor any word even remotely related to death, sex, substances, & swearing? I just saw one that censored the word "orphan" 🙃
As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.
Chloe "in ✈️ at home" Adams@addamschloe.bsky.social · last mo.piracy is the only extant form of media preservation that exists in games right now, you might find it morally reprehensible but there is literally no other institution that will keep games alive in 25, 50 years' time
Heatwave o' clock is upon us, which means it's once again time to attempt to kill the sun.
Do people who've never lived in Washington have a sense of how titanic a labor it is to get the Mall this empty, especially near the Fourth of July? Normally the monuments and Smithsonian would look _carpeted_ with tourists right now. Even 'Gigli' didn't chase people off like this.

I received a little dumbo octopus friend via a gotcha minigame in a game I play & my actual factual, out-loud reaction was to say "A beautiful child! A blessing upon us!" But I mean, can you blame me? Look at him!
Omg there's a horseshoe crab flipping song!! It's so 90s PSA songey. What glorious propaganda!! 😭 😭
The weather just went from zero to pouring so hard it caused grit & dust to rain down on me from my ceiling! Been here 5ish years & never had that happen before...

HRT for trans teens is the only moral option. Imagine being 18 and *not having gone through puberty yet* because the only treatment you're allowed are blockers? Let trans teens go through their proper puberty. It's not difficult. It's not dangerous.
Talia "Pre-Order CALL ME KIMBERLY" Bhatt ⚢@taliabhatt.itch.io · 2mo agoMany people will shout, "No one is seriously suggesting that young people be put on hormones!" and to be perfectly, 100% clear, trans people are seriously suggesting that. Trans people of all ages would prefer if young trans people had access to HRT instead of the compromise of puberty blockers.
this sucks. nashville zoo is one of the most modern, humane, and accessible zoos in the country. if you care about conservation, critters, and science, go sign and go raise hell. nash zoo is also a bastion of science and equality as a southern workplace. please please protect it.

Indeed. Everyone who proposes to cure society's ills by taking away teens' internet/phones is a simpleton and a degenerate who wants to pretend they found a cheat code to get a better society without contributing any effort or resources towards one.
madeline odent@oldenoughtosay.com · 2mo agoI think every politician who proposes to ban anything on the internet for teens should be required to propose, as an alternate, a free and accessible and all weather space for teens to hang out in their own hometown
