Megan Follows totally ate in her role as Anne Shirley.

This review comes off as mildly peeved; as if it’s irritating to have to write at length about a good album (and find a negative hook to hang the whole piece on).

The Cosby Show and Family Ties should’ve done a crossover episode.

This is exactly what I keep thinking when people say the thing about CA “withholding” federal taxes… we pay them directly, how would it work?

Maybe it’s just a case of preferring the version you know best, but hard for me to see how folks can favor “Roadrunner (Once)” over the album version. #JonathanRichman #ModernLovers

That liminal moment when you don’t know if you should get a haircut, or see if it’ll look good again for a while after growing a bit more 💇🏻‍♂️

The automated accts (radio stations that post every song they’re playing, etc.) tend to clog #hashtags and create even more friction to using them … but I feel like most folks here don’t anyway, it’s kind of a shame.

Looked up this old SNL bit, and was startled by how young Shatner looks here. Dude was probably younger than I am now:

I wonder what % of Bluesky = bots, spam accounts, etc. Gotta be high!

Have any philosophers of language, semioticians, etc. done work on LLMs – e.g., as a sort of "machine writing" whose output is a pure recombination of signifiers? Or is it just not that interesting, lol

Right now, I'm following a cluster of Bluesky dev / ATProto folks. This should be a clear signal – why can't I be recommended similar accounts to follow, if not a feed of related posts? I think the MyNebula(+) feeds had a similar concept, but they seem to be broken now.

Maybe Max was keeping Big Thief’s worst aesthetic impulses in check. Oy, that cover art

Another idea would be to assign you (again, voluntarily) to a random “pod” of accounts, where everyone gets a firehose feed of what the others are posting. (This is just a feed idea, I’m sure it’s easier than the auto-follow thing…)
