I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.

RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>

I had to highlight this tribute to Mamoru Oshii's live action film "Stray Dogs - Keberos Panzer Cops" in the new animated movie "Patlabor EZY - File 1". They literally recreated almost all of the shots from the original 1991 trailer.

"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

what the fuck is this dipshit on about? YEAH WE WOULD BE, WE ALREADY DONT USE IT!! WE FUCKING HATE IT!?

Ayo@darrylayo.bsky.social · 21h ago

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

Yes. We do not study the past with a view to feelgood vibes. Sometimes we encounter events and people that do that, but it is not the *purpose* of serious or just basically honest study.

Truth. #History

yeah the govt and payment processors will turn off the internet boob faucet if we don't do anything so if you like boobs yell at your regional officials

Dieselbrain@dieselbrain.bsky.social · 15h ago

None of us -want- to clog your timelines with this shit. I fucking HATE interrupting dumb horny boob posts with calls to action but like If action isnt taken the boobs will stop entirely like we -cant- ignore this shit, this isnt FUN

It's also one of the last great films featuring plenty of practical spaceship models. If you're interested, I've written all about it here:

The Spaceshipper 🚀@thespaceshipper.com · 9mo ago

Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers was released 28 years ago today. This is an opportunity to rediscover the film's sublime models:

"Mayor Pete" is not your friend, not your ally, and does not give a fuck about you or anyone you love.

David Moore@davidrussellmoore.bsky.social · 18h ago

In his 2020 run, Buttigieg stopped releasing the names of his campaign bundlers after scrutiny. They included: -superlobbyist, and now Palantir lobbyist, Steve Elmendorf -billionaire Blackstone exec Hamilton James -"Silicon Valley's favorite fixer" Bradley Tusk -Merck's head of public affairs, etc.

Somebody asked me on Reddit why people who use AI to generate Recomp projects are currently being rejected from the communities and what they can do to fix this. I might tweak parts of this to be a more general blog post at some point, but this should be of help to anyone in a similar situation.

Lol

This is a timeline: Pornhub says age verification laws aren’t working. Louisiana leaders are not convinced. “These laws do not work and, as a result, have put your constituents’ children and adults’ personal data at risk,” says Pornhub’s letter to Louisiana's AG. www.nola.com/news/politic...

WE USED TO BE A REAL COUNTRY A COUNTRY WHERE A MAN COULD SPEND YEARS OF HIS LIFE AND TWO MILLION DOLLARS AFTER SEEING A GRIMLOCK TOY TO MAKE A REAL LIFE TRANSFORMING DINOSAUR MECH THAT EATS CARS AT MONSTER TRUCK RALLIES AI? WEARABLES? A FOOL'S LEGACY THE PEOPLE YEARN FOR CAR CRUSHING DINOSAURS

We, as a nation, failed when we stopped appreciating the marvel of American imagination and craft that is ROBOSAURUS, THE TRUCK-EATING DINOSAUR ROBOT

Noticing some folks seem to think writers just say clever things without understanding how the world works, as if we're all naifs who just happen to be good with words instead of people with formal educations and a professional interest verging on requirement in the ability to conduct research

in case you were wondering how I feel about the saudi arabia deal going through

I really hope this takes off. There needs to be a creative storefront marketplace that actually bans genai and drop shipping, and I hope it's a 100% ban. Etsy is completely ruined and not artist friendly. Much luck to Fybe! fybe.art

This is a good complaint that everyone should loudly echo, but I take umbrage with dismissing physical media as already a lost cause. That's not true! Game-key carts/discs have to marked on packaging. This is not-yet lost territory - don't cede it! birchtree.me/blog/xbox-go...

Yup, Republicans LOVE to distort stats like this—basically saying a place or company or wherever has more X (where X is bad) when what’s actually going on is the source is more responsible about tracking and reporting occurrences of X.

Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 3w ago

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

I think current genAI is, for the most part, an anti-social attack on culture and society. And I'm gonna need y'all to stop making that position look ridiculous by turning yourselves into an over-correcting anti-social attack on culture & society.

"Liberal bubble" is code for "we can't gaslight you if you won't unblock us".

Comfortably Numb@numb.comfortab.ly · yesterday

"Bluesky is a liberal bubble" DHS and ICE have accounts on Bluesky, wtf are you talking about?

Its a lib "bubble" because MAGA can't stick dick opinions in my face without a block. People like bluesky because unlike Twitter you can curate/filter out stupid bullshit. The only reason conservatives hate it is because they cant force you to pay attention to them. That better not fucking change.

The Verge@theverge.com · 2d ago

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

"The idea of society may sound appealing, but it's old men who will take the hit, planting trees under whose shade they might never sit."

USA TODAY Opinion@usatodayopinion.usatoday.com · 2d ago

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

truly loved editing this piece from @annaleen.bsky.social on how well-funded public transit systems could transform our lives let’s hear it for journalism that helps us imagine a future that’s not fucking terrible!! www.coyotemedia.org/funding-bay-...

A Modest Proposal for Funding Transit Instead of AI

In the ’60s, the Bay Area almost got a high-speed train from Marin to San Jose. What could happen if we dreamed big again?

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up
