me and my Bluesky bubble

I did not know that TV crews were allowed to set off explosions in the Bronson Canyon cave.

This is the kind of freak behavior new yorkers crave in their mayor

What a quote.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

He just sucks so incredibly much

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

oomf just sent this to me "this made me think of you" please enjoy

bluesky: you can yell at a senator x: for a monthly fee, you can yell at a democratic senator mastodon: we do not have any senators threads: we have invented an entire platform to make senators feel as safe as possible while interacting with nabisco

The Cybertruck is arguably the most visible actual tangible object to come out of SV since the iPhone and that’s a pretty good illustration of where 20 years of uninhibited tech brain has taken us.

your family is an echo chamber. im coming to ruin your dinner

Heard the Israeli government is going to make Greta Thunberg watch 1992's live action/animated hybrid Cool World. Not really sure where they're going with this one

The central delusion of pundits who desperately try to guilt people into coming back to Twitter: they genuinely seem to think we all secretly MISS Twitter and are merely hanging out over here out of a drab, self-flagellating sense of moral superiority no, we're here because Twitter sucks shit now

One of the reasons I post on Bluesky and not Twitter is so that the replies to my posts about Star Trek and Doctor Who are about Star Trek and Doctor Who, not links to cryptocurrency scams. If it's so important to see Nate Silver post something demonstrably false, just stay on Twitter.

Stunning how badly Trump and the Rs have lost the debate on what their reconciliation bill will do. From new CBS/YouGov polling:

Me in my Bluesky bubble

The bottom line on the Trump-Musk feud www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Sometime in the quarter-odd-century since the inauguration, @elienyc.bsky.social said (possibly wrote?) the following. I rushed to write it down! And just recovered it under a pile of notebooks. Its truth remains undimmed! "The Republican party is affirmative action for louts." Indeed.

Fascists were trying to take over the DC Bar (important in a variety of ways). Their candidate lost 91%-9%.

My wholesome favorites of these fake #doctorwho novelizations: Jihad on the Infidels, The Pointless Mention of Rassilon, and The It's Got Daleks In It. Thanks to boy who time forgot @johngeoffrion.bsky.social for stealing this gem from Ian Levine. www.facebook.com/groups/72968...

I’m taking over as the menswear guy. Men should rotate through the same four band t-shirts for 35 years. Replace the shirts with identical shirts if the holes in them get big or you get too fat for them

"one day my kids are going to do incest "

i do not care if the social media app i use is growing or influential or has bad opinions mixed with good opinions, i just want to post dumb things that people i think are cool will laugh at

the cybertruck embodies the valley's overall problem, not just elon's or tesla's: a culture of emboldened stupidity

guys will be like "these people are ruining america" and it'll be a picture of the coolest guys ever

probably my best internet skill is ignoring whatever weird conversation has its hold on everyone else and picking my own topic. today it's my firm belief that, if you have kids, you should get a safe deposit box in a city you have no obvious connection to and leave it to them in your will

I really hate this oversimplification of "flyover country" because there are vibrant Mexican communities in small towns in Ohio too, and they fly their flags and throw a great Cinco de Mayo party where everyone shows up to eat tacos and watch the luchadors.

the reframing of bluesky as some sort of bubble for one viewpoint conveniently ignores the fact many of us left X because our work was obviously being censored for its viewpoints. i wrote about tesla and climate and trans people and was significantly throttled. that’s why i left!

lmao The Sun has a livestream of the “LA riots” on YouTube and when you click on it it’s a bunch of troops standing around doing nothing you can literally hear birds singing in the background what a time to be alive

The new “Warner” company will continue the traditional film and television business, while the “Brothers Discovery” company will focus on the booming market for incest pornography

I would love to learn if the public thinks rubber bullets are this size or smaller/larger.

From JS - Sorry. I've been lax because a family member has a health issue & I’m their caretaker. Surgery is tmrw. My work has dried up & my capacity to earn dead for a while. If you could help I’d be so grateful. Thank you. paypal.me/justinsherin venmo.com/justin-sherin ko-fi.com/dick_nixon

JFK literally had multiple chronic diseases and spent a significant part of both his childhood and adult life hospitalized and convalescing. RFK Jr. is an embarrassment.

My local coffee shop is not playing around.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

Well I think this is official confirmation that Bluesky has the Juice

I am on the other side of the world from Los Angeles and I just heard a news grab on our national radio station of Maxine Waters telling a cop "Are you gonna shoot an elected representative? If you shoot me, you better shoot straight" and she remains one of the best to ever do it
