Just read the first sentence of Chapter 48 of @wiswell.bsky.social's excellent "The Dragon Has Some Complaints" and I am so mad.
It's berry season and you have the tiniest friends. These critically endangered babies are Egyptian tortoises that hatched on July 4 and 6, 2026. Currently, our Egyptian tortoises are living behind the scenes in a warm and cozy habitat with lots of attention from their dedicated animal keepers.
The problem with listening to @99pi.org is that you are immediately filled with the need to bring up Billy Possum or Thaddeus Lowe or whatever, and your spouse will only kindly allow this so many times, so you will force your cool fact into conversations that do not need your cool fact.
Dang, Micah with the Gift of Prophecy over here.

I love how Catholics get excited about schism in the same way I get excited about rare astronomical events or weird critters at the beach. It's not "how dare they!" but "ooo, heretics, we learned about those in school! Kids, quick, come see this heretic!"
I want to say the fancy $100 wine collection is the best schism merch, but honestly the Protestant Reformation had some pretty great woodcuts and beer steins and commemorative coins and stuff. Today's schism merch came out the day of and not like a century later, though, which is nice.
Adam DeVille@adamdeville.bsky.social · last mo.They are also utterly perfect creatures of the 21st century, i.e., they are grifters selling "commemorative items, including an exclusive 75 Swiss franc box of wine...with each bottle decorated with the image of one of the consecrated bishops" according to: www.ncregister.com/cna/sspx-con...
@lawandchaospod.bsky.social Y'all, I love you, but I do not love that you are running Kalshi ads now.
Me: You know what's a fate worse than death? Clotho: Please, keep talking. Lachesis: Yeah, tell us who's a Fate worse than death?
My phone has a "most called" list on the dialer, and my #1 most called is the grocery store's curbside pickup "I'm here" number, and I'm having a minor crisis about male loneliness about it, but I'm pretty sure it's just that I mostly use text messages.
I've been dabbling with tiny video games since I was a kid, but I've never actually finished one. Until today! I signed up for game jam, found a mechanic that was kind of fun, and then actually actually sat down and finished it! It's little, but it's done! parbroil.itch.io/ships-passing

Learning is hard, and mentoring is hard, and this is a great framework for thinking about how you or other people learn.
Bo Thompson@gaudipern.bsky.social · 2mo ago(1/13) As someone who professionally taught, tutored, and mentored until I retired and now does it for funsies, I'm acutely aware that despite how available knowledge is today... not everyone has constructed an autodidactic framework for themselves. If that's you, you may want to bookmark this.
Authors, you've had 133 years to advance the art. Why have none of y'all come up with a better villain name than Moriarty in that time?

Once or twice a day, every day, a floppy ear d hound goes by in a little car, head out the window, yelping up a storm. This is a big event in our household, as we race to spot him like a middle aged ice cream truck jingle.
This tweet from the White House Correspondence Dinner is art. She may not have meant it that way, but it is art just the same.
Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.

Hey, I have an 11 year old who loves Undertale-style chiptune stuff and wants to try making their own digital music, but I don't know anything about DAWs and making electronic music. Is there a class or some easyish software or something I can point him to to whet his teeth? #daw #gameaudio
It's "replace AI with Cocaine in a quote" day here on Bluesky!

The Boston Public Library unwisely made a wager with the Seattle Public Library over the results of Super Bowl LX. Now, thanks to the Seahawks’ win over the New England Patriots, Boston readers are getting a dose of Seattle culture.

Well, the power's out in North Seattle. Apparently a "vault system" in Northgate caught fire. I wonder what those are. From the name and the problem, I assume it's important, protected electrical stuff?
