I'M WATCHING AN EDUCATIONAL VIDEO I SWEAR @bennjordan.bsky.social is the weird one, not me!

Dude literally thinks his shit doesn't stink.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

I'd say that eking out a narrow win against a candidate who spent ten times more than you is a massive victory.

Progressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted

This amounts to an admission that the American system of government is completely broken.

I'll take slightly higher taxes over price gouging grocery stores any day.

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.

And that's not even getting into how easy they are to hack, allowing potential burglars, abusers, etc to remotely monitor the neighbourhood to see when they can get away with their shit. youtu.be/vU1-uiUlHTo?...

New: We found 50 cops who misused Flock cameras and other license-plate readers for personal purposes, often to spy on their girlfriends or ex-wives. He "watched every single move I made. ... Who do you turn the chief of police in to?" wapo.st/3S6rTuo

When I was a kid, we didn't get tornados here (only had one that I remember, and it was a HUGE deal) Today, I got my fourth tornado warning of the year. And that's pretty normal now. But sure, climate change isn't making weather more extreme.

Makes me think of cinemasins. If a movie opens with expository narration? "Narration!" *ding* If it opens with expository text? "Reading!" *ding* If it opens with neither? "How am I supposed to know the background here?" *ding*

if I ever taught film criticism lesson one would be “you being smarter than the movie is not interesting to anyone”

Did not disappoint.

If, like me, you love 1990s Web sites, back when the internet wasn't enshittified by Big Tech yet, have a look at Wiby, a Web 1.0 search engine. Click on "Surprise me…" for random discoveries, often personal Web pages about obscure niche subjects, but sometimes you find a hidden gem… wiby.org

I have had a handful of people tell me that they have masterbated/had sex to my content. Personally, I don't get it (not kink shaming, just kink asking why) But apparently that fact puts my career at risk because YouTube are a buncha prudes.

Sam Cole@samleecole.bsky.social · 5d ago

by YT's logic, if someone can feasibly get a boner from your content, or from any content you make anywhere ever, you're done. anyway, I'm tapping the egg yolk sign again www.404media.co/egg-yolk-pop...

If this is true, then why is it that data centres are only going up in low income areas?

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 5d ago

Hassett: "Data centers are very good for towns bc they create so many jobs & bring people in with high incomes that can buy houses & stuff like that. So if you take a sleepy town that hasn't seen much in the last 30 years & put a data center there, there are gonna be a bunch of happy residents."

Greg Koukl and Amy Hall of Stand to Reason are here to explain why they believe in Christianity rather than any other religion. Given how certain they are of their religion, the reasons should be good ones, right? youtu.be/AJUap-zl69I

Ok, here's the thing. I don't cry during movies, but it is SUPER EASY to get me choked up, especially when it involves kids. Did not choke up during this one. It was just too boring, and the twist was too telegraphed.

Viced Rhino@vicedrhino.com · 6d ago

Partner is making me watch My Girl tonight. She insists that this is an important movie for people in our generation to watch. I'm assuming there's a dark twist coming, but I'm halfway through and it's mostly just...boring. What am I missing?

I'm buying a 3d print file for a dollar. The checkout is giving me the option to finance it over 4 payments. Yay, capitalism!

I'm here to point out facts and condemn hentai. And I'm all out of facts.

Try this on for size: It is a genuine neurodevelopmental disorder AND A social construct. These two things are not mutually exclusive.

Literally every other news article on renewables is about how such and such a place saw costs drop dramatically when solar/wind started providing more energy than fossil fuels.

Oh look. The one single use of AI that I would be willing to defend is being shut down so they can focus on their machine that keeps telling people to kill themselves. Neat 🙃

Well that sucks. www.engadget.com/2225849/goog... Least bummer interpretation: AlphaFold served its purpose, DeepMind already spun off a drug lab, so it was time to reassign the time.

Part of Christianity is that the antichrist will bring about world peace, and that's bad. So no, I'm not surprised that a bunch of Christian nationalists are fighting against feeding children.

Robin Kirby@robinmk.bsky.social · last wk.

The guy that they want you to be terrified of (Mamdani) is making sure kids in NYC are fed all summer and people have access to cheaper groceries, all while they take food away from kids getting SNAP. Just sayin, feeding kids should make you the good guy.

I have 5 kids. Anyone who wants to help me clean is welcome in my home.

I'm sure if you ask my partner's sisters why we cut them off, they would say it was political. But it was really because they refused to respect a child's pronouns/name, and then severely violated personal boundaries by sneaking around with her ex to access the kids behind her back. AITA? (No.)

Kimberley Johnson@kimberleyjohnson.bsky.social · last wk.

It's not a disagreement about politics. Itr's a morality/decency thing.

Just got an email from a company that runs a Christian social media app that opened with "Your faith-centered content really caught my attention. That's exactly the kind of message our platform was built to support." I have a sneaking suspicion that they may not have watched any of my content 🤔

Are those brown smears supposed to be like...they're moving fast so it's blurry? If so, I have questions about the guy on the left. If not...I still have questions.

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · last wk.

I admire our government's new commitment to honesty.

I would like enough wealth to just not have to think about money every day. Not "I can buy a Ferrari without thinking" amounts, more like "There's a leaky pipe? Call a plumber, we can fix it and still pay all our bills" Anything more seems like it invites trouble.

Thee NYC angry black latina mom! ♉️🇩🇴🗽 🐝💛@urbanmodernism.bsky.social · 2w ago

I’m sorry, but if being that rich meant becoming as unhappy as Elon Musk seems, I hope wealth never finds me. A life without joy isn’t success—it’s just existing.

Mark my words, some lightbulb company (or similar) is going to make an ordinary dumb bulb, market it as unhackable, and charge the same for it as a smart bulb. And it will sell, because people are nearly as dumb as smart devices tend to be.
