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"

Bad at descriptions, good at computers, the *best* at imposter syndrome. Hobbies include 3D printing, hacking shit, and feeling awkward in social situations.
but where's the label for "i just hope both teams play their best and everyone has a nice time"?
Since @bsky.app is The Sports App, I should note that I setup @wnba.sickos.club and @nfl.sickos.club a few years back and they are mostly still working I think so if you want to advertise which teams you're a fan of, you should check them out! Hi @toni.bsky.team!
It seems like a damning critique of humanity that the world's richest man is also it's dumbest
The richest person in the world, an avowed white supremacist, today again posted "the next step is getting rid of 'source code' entirely and just making an efficient binary directly with AI" because he has no idea how anything works, not even the basics of industries he is in.

the only thing worse than finding a dachshund in your bed? finding half a dachshund in your bed (the other half is getting dirt under your covers)

This. A whole lot of me being "good at computers" was a basic understanding of search and a freakish memory that gave me exact phrases to search for. Now? Most search engines straight up ignore quotation marks.
I hate that almost every search stopped supporting quotation marks around a word or phrase to match it exactly. There are so many times that I know exactly what I'm looking for but it keeps trying to show me unrelated bullshit. The loss of booleans and advanced filtering is a whole other issue.
huh. instead of using vpns or a different client (like deer.social), seems like you can also bypass bsky's bs age verification just by blocking ip.bsky.app at the router level (pfblocker-ng, pihole, local hosts file, etc...)
a new trend where passengers have started cheering and clapping when encountering turbulence
Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...
good opportunity to make a slot machine that ties directly into "prediction markets" 'you're not gambling, you're predicting if the right symbols will come up!'
What’s wild is that only a few years ago, “prediction markets” had a whole different name and you used to have to go to Reno or Atlantic City to participate, otherwise it was a crime. Now we can’t even regulate them.

a friend said "no spoilers!" while we were talking about The Odyssey and another friend said "you've had 2,700 years to read it"
bloomberg has a fun article today arguing that the Cybertruck is the biggest flop in automotive history. it includes this glorious graph.

This is the way the world ends, not with a whimper but with a violent splatter.
New diarrhea parasite just dropped
damn, I'm not normally one for jewelry, but might have to make an exception here
someone should really make a moderation list of accounts with the phrase "as an Amazon associate" in the bio (or where >50% of posts include an affiliate link) so I can mute them all
You opened a credit card. ICE now knows where you live. Here's how when you open a credit card your address leaves your bank, goes through middlemen companies, and ends up with ICE. ICE plans to use this data for immigration and 'voter fraud'. No warrant More: www.404media.co/you-opened-a...
