What's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)

My neighbor across the street got burglarized and he said the cops literally said "we're on to these guys" after saying "they've hit 20 houses in the area" and then he asked why they were able to hit 20 houses if the cops were "on to these guys" and that was the end of the investigation lol

It’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off

Seeing a lot of skeets about Thomas Paine that never mention he basically came out as an atheist in his text The Age of Reason and was immediately ostracized by his other founding fathers who probably had the same beliefs, but where smart enough to keep them hidden from a largely puritanical public.

Bo Thompson@gaudipern.bsky.social · last mo.

Thomas Paine is my favorite founding father. He was famously abolitionist and one of the earliest voices to point out the hypocrisy of fighting for independence while keeping slaves. He also firmly believed that keeping any friendship which required compromising your morals made you a bad person.

In 2022 the @nytimesoped.bsky.social commissioned a piece from me on prison abolition & queer history for Pride. They bumped it at the last minute, the last words the editor wrote to me was “the importance of the subject is not tied to Pride.” They never ran it, or paid my kill fee, or responded…
