Took this thing out again. Someday I won’t look like a five year old learning the basics.

I just re-filed a second service request with CSC ServiceWorks because the only dryer in my 9 unit building broke 2 days ago and a technician visited my street yesterday, wandered around, didn’t enter my building, and walked away marking it as resolved. Another privatized basic habitation necessity.

Me buying a house and not having to do coin laundry anymore: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!! Me having to replace the washing machine when it breaks: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Teach your children ‘democrats are not always good, but republicans ARE always bad’ and in 2026 you’ve covered like 90% of their practical civic education wrt voting.

The best thing about Vote Blue No Matter Who is that it unloads a lot of cognitive burden. I wanted Tom Steyer to be in the Governor's race, but he's not so I'm gonna vote for Becerra. I don't follow his campaign at all: I'm voting for him because he's not a Republican.

Eat my entire ass, Haley Stevens. Let’s bury rank Islamophobia as a bipartisan consensus value for good and never look back.

El-Sayed is projected to win the Michigan Democratic Senate primary and will go up against Mike Rogers in November

I am so tired of living in the hollowed-out neoliberal ghost corpse of the 90s/early 00s. We need to stop delaying the transition to a less-selfish, more collectivist 21st century that the Millennials were pitched in our childhood.

Elizabeth Spiers@espiers.bsky.social · 2d ago

I keep arguing that Dem leadership (Schumer, Jeffries, etc.) are stuck in the 90s, as are many of the high profile Dem consultants and advisors. They think most voters are de facto moderate. This is why their thinking is outdated:

Had to do a double take that this was not outside of the ROD at CalArts.

I would like to state once again that in both elections, Ross Perot did far more to elect Bill Clinton than James Carville ever did. James Carville is a totally unqualified blowhard parasite that should have fucked off in the Bush years. My question to James Carville is WHEN will you go away?

This is an amazing archival montage documenting AR culture of HoloLens 1 & 2. Michael Hoffman says, "On the Microsoft HoloLens team, I had this idea to tell the HoloLens story in photos, so started collecting every image I could find, over 1,600." Lots of history here! picmotif.com/u/hoff/tribu...

I had a bunch of pent-up cooking energy from months of basically only eating Factor meals so I made some nishime veggies w/chicken last week and cleaned out the freezer a fair bit.

I need all of these irons in the fire to start cooking at like 1.75x speed please. None of them are cold yet, but I'd rather know what my fate is before September than get any further into my Meta severance money reserves please 🙏🏼

Doom Dark Ages Revelations DLC really is a masterpiece, except for those classic levels in the endgame content. Interesting concept, underwhelmingly executed. Wish that one spent a little more time in the oven. It probably would have if they kept the team...

One of the most important issues of our time is that the future of humanity is presently being authored by people who have nothing but total contempt for humanity and seek the erasure of everything that gives being a human meaning. It’s not just annoying. It doesn’t just suck. It’s existential.

Getting really fatigued by the constant joyless scolding that defines the tone of this place. It's wearing down my desire to be here.

I’ve reached that awful tail end of being sick where I just have an awful dry cough that not only won’t go away, but only activates when I try to lay down to rest, thus nuking my ability to sleep and putting me further behind on recovery.

Another excellent piece from @janus.bsky.social . This shit gives me hope that we may yet still transcend the trap of slacktivism, that since Occupy we've learned our lessons about disseminating awareness without further entrenching power of the major tech platforms. www.404media.co/luddite-even...

Being a Luddite Is Fun Again

As tech backlash hits the mainstream, the ‘Summer of Ludd’ proves we don’t need social media to hang out and have a good time.

It's insane how many people don't know anything about Myst. Myst is the reason we started used discs for computer games, and the game that made mainstream culture start considering video games to be art. It is like more significant to video game history than any film was to film history.

i think one of the biggest underlinings in just how bad the western industry has been about its own legacy is like. myst isnt just an old game. it was final fantasy vii before final fantasy vii. it was that fucking huge.

It is well-known that Mario is named after Nintendo of America's former landlord, Mario Segale. It has been discovered that his father, Louis Segale, was actually named Luigi before changing his name during immigration, making it an astounding coincidence that the real Mario's real father is Luigi.

I don't understand why LA media reports any unhoused count administered by LAHSA credulously. I would much rather go off of the aggregated work of neighborhood-scoped volunteer ad hoc counts. Like, literally nothing LAHSA touches is credible. laist.com/news/housing...

After 2 years of declines, the number people living on LA's streets rose nearly 8% this year

The findings, released Friday, are part of a wide-range of new statistics based on a January point-in-time survey of homelessness across L.A. County.

I constantly like to tell people “I don’t want a socialist utopia, I just want 1970s America without the racism.”

Better Things Are Possible@internethippo.bsky.social · 2w ago

Again, what right wing Republicans and Democrats call "socialism" is the sort of regulated capitalism that was consensus for much of the 20th century. They pretend it's anti-market when really it's only anti-oligarchy

I want apartment solar so bad dude. It’s infinite electricity and also a project. Put me in, coach.
