How would I get by without AI? If I need a factually-dubious opinion expressed in a cliched manner with unearned confidence, I’ll just talk to a straight white cis man. I can get by on small-batch, locally-sourced, artisanal mansplaining, the way we always used to.

this man should get combat pay bc he was FIGHTING here

The older I get the more I understand why cats just walk away mid conversation.

I should be clear that the architecture of Bluesky makes it the social media place I most like to be. I'm not on social media to be an influencer or instigator; I want to hang out with folks and have an enjoyable time. This place delivers on that. I hope it continues to do so for a long time.

So is Mitch McConnell dead as of end of business today? Or midnight? Or do we have to wait until 9am tomorrow morning when things open up again?

This whole Taylor farms thing and all the food being infected with parasites. It's actually a very good example of why these conglomerants and monopolies shouldn't exist. You shouldn't be able to operate under one name and own 30 brands that do the exact same thing

It’s always sad to come home with an empty carrier.. but in this case it’s a happy cry! Our foster Bianca went to her forever home tonight! Found in a pile of trash in a blizzard, loved forevermore! @talisknets.bsky.social is a real mensch #feralnomore #rescuecatsofbluesky

Fun fact: I was actually tossed out of the UK for having a “suspicious accent”. Had lived there for 2 years & worked reception. Found that no one could understand my American accent over the phone. Got in the habit of enunciating more when speaking formally.

If I spend more than three days in the UK, I involuntarily start saying "cheers"

its always how much wood would a woodchuck chuck and never why he’s feeling pressured to chuck in the first place

Trump and Infantino are loudly jeered as they walk out to present the World Cup trophy.

It'd be really hard to McConnell this if it happened on live TV with a huge international audience.

Going to need the Muppets to keep randomly participating in large events without explanation going forward, please and thank you.

If nothing else, this was the WC when FOX got the message that many Americans will literally listen to a broadcast in a language they do not speak well before listening to Alexi Lalas. Good job, everyone.

An all-Muppets Super Bowl halftime show would be amazing.
