And will. And have.

Awww. Wishing the very worst -- and some broken toasters -- for the couple.

I think AI is going to eventually tank in the longterm, but... the only real way to combat this is single-interest communities. Forums, user comms, etc, with a barrier to entry. They become trustable knowledgebases. It's really the only way forward is to return to what worked best the first time

Thanks to @willbunch.bsky.social for the extremely generous shout-out (and for his great piece on the stakes of the NYC mayoral primary): www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

But they will use paper straws on the planes

FOR THE FIRST TIME "EVER", THE STATE KNOWN FOR GLACIERS, DOGSLEDDING & NORTHERN LIGHTS ISSUED A HEAT ADVISORY. Homes rarely have air con or ceiling fans; their thick walls are built to trap in warmth for the long, subzero winters. Sun sets around 1:00AM and rises again about 2 hours later at 3:00AM.

I live this way. Why would we talk about work? As long as we all have the money to trick on each other and each other’s kids…who cares?! A Case for Never Talking About Work With Non-Work Friends www.vogue.com/article/a-ca...

refusing to use alt text on bluesky has endorsed Cuomo

Some days I feel like crying and some days I feel like yolo. Other days it’s an interesting mix of both.

HUSBAND: WTF did you do to your car!? Wife:…. Don’t get mad…. The curb jumped out and hit me…again. Husband: …..so now I’m stupid huh!?

Toyota should use this in the next Corolla ad

I live in LA, not NYC, but I just want to say how refreshing it is to see big city politicians who give big cities the love. We LOVE our cities and we'd die for them. That's why we all live here

Speaking of which, NYC Bluesky, the owner of this diner is the one who spotted my sister's aunt sitting outside for hours and (a) brought her inside, (b) fed her, (c) and called police. If you're ever on the Upper East Side, go spread some love! 🫶🏾💕🙏🏾

Wow! snap shot of the embarrassment of seeing this mass amount of white women my age showing early signs of dementia.

I don’t like ppl enough for that

i remember this night 😭

Someone said “the world is on fire but you are not the extinguisher. Rest your mind.” And while easier said than done, those words calmed my anxiety a bit.

I want to see all of y’all “I cant wait for summer” folks outside! Work outside. Eat outside. Take that run. Hang out outside for no particular reason other than to enjoy your favorite season. Enjoy that heat index. I want pics and updates.

Aye, If you are taking any SSRIs: Fluoxetine (Prozac), Sertraline (Zoloft), Paroxetine (Paxil), Citalopram (Celexa), & Escitalopram (Lexapro)… You have an increased risk of heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke. Especially if you are neurodivergent & struggle with Interoception.

No idea who was the first person to combine potatoes, cheese, and bacon, but I hope she became a beautiful constellation

I need crisp air, cider, and donuts. Not bugs, sweat, and blackouts.

Lmao, no, nuh-uh. It's just quid pro quo amongst the elites, that's it, that's ALL. If a newbie wins office, who will grease THEIR palms???? Who will lob contracts to THEIR friends and families?! Will no one think of the corrupt politicians??!?!

The liberatory power of mass literacy has been established across half a millennia. When you begin with this fact, everything from Silicon Valley fantasies of post-literacy to MAGA book bans fall neatly in line. Literacy is the foundation of democratic society. It must be enclosed & economized.

My advice for the heatwave: Normalize using umbrellas for sun.

After 104 days of being unjustly detained for his advocacy for Palestinian rights, Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his wife and newborn son.

"i asked chatgpt" yeah well i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains, i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains there's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line and the less I seek my source for some definitive closer I am to fine

We’re wasting the remaining carbon budget on war and AI.

Happy Juneteenth to my Black friends and happy "be quiet and reflect on how and what we can do better in the fight against white supremacy/racism" day to my white friends.

I been said that actuaries tell us the truth. Oh COVID is mild? What do life insurance companies say about that? Climate change is not real? Then why are insurance companies planning to refuse coverage to certain places?

Happy Juneteenth, Black people! Happy Thursday to the rest of y'all! And happy "It finally feels like summer!," NYC!! Currently at: $401/$600 💕💸 Appreciate you all so much. Find some joy today, no matter what. 💫✌🏾 #disabled ##mutualaid #crowdfund #disability

Bad Bunny documented an ICE arrest in Puerto Rico, sharing footage of what appears to be agents detaining people in the street: “Look, those motherfuckers are in these cars, RAV-4s. They’re here in Pontezuela. Sons of b--s, instead of leaving the people alone.”

the presidents of the united states really instilled unrealistic expectations on how easy it would be to move to the country and eat a lotta peaches
