Rebecca Solnit@rebeccasolnit.bsky.social · 21h agoIt's demoralizing living in a nonstop Abuse-a-thon: we've had to learn the sordid details of so many men's abhorrent behavior; I mean this summer has been Graham Platner, Andrew Tate, Jared Leto, Max Miller, plus the horrific L.A. rape-murder of the child by the rapper, to name a few lowlights.
in 2016 Elon Musk said he would build a fully automated factory in Fremont, California for the upcoming Model 3 and he then spent on the order of $2 billion on production lines that didn't work, forcing Tesla to assemble cars by hand in a tent but sure, now he's gonna do it on the moon

I'm very excited to be concocting way-too-early and very incomplete advanced metrics for the WPBL! I'm sure they'll update the league their website with more stats the moment I finish this code, but it's a fun exercise anyway.

there are two types of fans of things- those who treat it like a hobby and understand it's ok to laugh at things you enjoy and those who use it to replace church or whatever in their lives and are very vigilant against Blasphemy

"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care
Folks I won’t tell you not to feel your feelings, but this is rage bait. He’s talking about expanding beyond politics into things like live sports.
The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky'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."
yeah, actually I want to engage with sports, and my other sources of human expression and delight. We were not born to be suffering at all times, which is in fact what “they want”

We need to return to traditional masculinity, to the time when real men took their kitties for walkies so they could smell smells.
you know we often talk about how baseball players are the most right wing athletes culturally and i am developing a theory that it is because they are all extremely fucking dumb
Razzball@razzball.bsky.social · 2d agoThe whole Mariners' pen believes Babe Ruth didn't exist. Kinda want all MLB players to believe this and make the owners agree to it in next CBA
me and the boys waiting for y'all to finish up with that dead horse you're beating
Cannot believe we’re going to be explaining to future generations that one of the greatest ever baseball players voluntarily spent his entire career with this team
