bluesky update: some thoughts on fressoz's new book, which offers a thesis i have identified with for a long time now. hearing someone else say it provides a generative opportunity for critique/self-critique phases.substack.com/p/symbiosis-...

i get liking teams and rooting for them but having a sports team you like lose ruin your day or really caring about a rivalry to the point that it makes you actually angry is soooo soy

forgot to take the trash out before i left town #stinky

business idea: gas station where they treat you like a race car driver and have like five guys run out to you. one guy would fill up your tank obviously but not sure what the other 4 would do yet

thanksgiving food sucks ass i wish i was eating MAPO TOFU

sometimes thanksgiving day convo gets so counterrevolutionary you just gotta hit unc with the fluoride stare 😶😂

this year i’m thankful for bluesky! 🦃 who’s with me?

great to see all the yimby cretins slither over here and frame things like cumulative impact assessments and community engagement as cumbersome red tape. the irony is these things DO streamline development by providing public pressure with a formal release valve to delegitimize any further dissent

i regularly attend oil and gas industry events and they always roll out a guy from EPA or one of its state-level equivalents to talk about 'permitting reform'. PA's DEP is already working on outsourcing all air quality permit review to a pool of """"3rd-party"""" industry consultants

interconnection queue backlog is not primarily a regulatory problem it is a problem of profitability and of leasing. loosening permit reqs is not going to disincentivize behind-the-meter generation distributed via long-term power purchase agreements, which is the major driver of renewable buildout

But yeah on the permitting reform front specifically—I’d really encourage people to adopt a “profit maximizing” vs “cost minimizing” lens before making claims that ceding a bunch of power to fossil interests is “worth it,” even if you don’t care about the many, many other issues

never kill yourself

the best part of going home is not seeing my family it is getting veg kimchi broth ramen from the place near my mom’s house

don’t trust anyone who immediately identifies my left-handed eating

i encourage all of you to listen to this every single day until christmas open.spotify.com/track/6dbadH...

i'm getting word that Degrowth Buddy is now in US custody

tried to watch megalopolis but the illegal streaming site kept failing. i took that as a sign

restraightened all my rebar just to have my new building collapse 😕

i’m the model blue sky dweller i just blindly follow all on every starter pack and block all in every block list

starter pack? what’s next, booster packs? promotional cards? limited editions? i mean seriously

watching cocomelon for the rest of the evening ✌️ gn bluesky

is this place pro- or anti-chatgpt

still trying to properly diagnose the ailment that is bluesky culture. it's a hybridization of linkedin and tumblr as has been discussed by many but there's also like an uncanniness or impersonalness to it that is hard to describe, as if every tweet has deep-fried in chatgpt before being posted

is blueksy lindy? i am 32 years old

any comrades wanna start a syndicate to buy Crude Oil Baos from the Bank of China?

is bluesky the new athenian agora! is it the marketplace of ideas! is it game master anthony’s birthday party! will the lion lay down with the lamb! is it a free association of content producers! is it the global village! is it a rhizome! is it the identity of indiscernibles! who are you peopel

i'm getting word that Degrowth Buddy has infiltrated COP29

“hey so when are you going to add extremely basic features to this platform like drafts and group dms?” bluesky engineer: *boops your nose* 🙃

my ideal workday is one, maybe two hours long

there are like five estheticians in my tiny ass borough. what’s going on here

yoooo ‼️

ma po.. china really went off with that one

a poem…

this place needs less IRA boosters and more Chinese Century prophets

you have to admit, biden meeting with trump after the white house called him a fascist demonstrates not only biden's reverence for the dignity of the office he holds but also his faith in our institutions to productively bring fascist electeds into the conversation of What Makes America Great

this is me now btw
