Happy to report that Brianna Wu is my first block after returning to this site. Felt good. Had some fire on that fastball

There is a real disconnect between the number of applications incorporating AI and the number of people who have any desire at all to user AI to checks notes talk with their PDFs, for example

My favorite thing is when you're in a hurry and the deep state conspires to make you hit every red light between you and the destination. Thanks, Obama.

I have discovered that you can make the worst people in the world absolutely lose their shit when they start explaining crypto and you respond, "Oh, you mean money laundering"

For my first post here in a long time, I'd like to reminisce about early BlueSky drama when it was discovered that a number of "big accounts" had a group chat where they crafted posts instead of letting the bullshit flow straight from brain to keyboard

Congrats to BlueSky on managing to get ads on Twitter and then using them to mock Twitter.

Oh my God, this place is so much less annoying than when it was dominated by a few gatekeeping "big" accounts. To see them reduced to irrelevancy by the mass influx is a great sign.

I'm going to try posting here again after a long hiatus. Let's not make it weird

Me: I haven't been on BlueSky in a really long time. Let's check What's Hot Classic. Ten seconds later Ah, the little clique is currently breaking the timeline with bullshit vertical posts. Welp, I'll check back here again in a couple weeks

I have never, though I'm middle aged, ever been summoned for jury duty, and I'm wondering if I'm cursing myself by saying so out loud

Is there a feed where we can post our own stories in threaded format without disturbing most other posters? I want to bring some of my Twitter stories to here, but I don't just want to push it to the general space and have them lost in the ether. @darthbluesky.bsky.social maybe you know?

Welcome to the newbies who have managed to avoid several popular posters' implosions and are here just in time for when the next one inevitably happens

Who knew that Borderlands would have solved the pronouns controversy in video games by just having your character referred to as "killer" in spoken dialogue, and then using it so much that you legit became homicidal every time you had to further the story. No he/him there!

Every week there is a lesson on BlueSky that the posters who had large accounts on Twitter know how to handle that shit when they make their way here, and the posters who only became big here have no clue how to handle that shit. The Kafui flame out just adds to the evidence

I went 11 days between posting, and it appears that multiple accounts that used to dominate the feed here no longer exist. At all. What on earth did I miss in 11 days? This place goes through drama cycles like it is speed -running the circle of life

I haven't checked in here in a couple weeks. Did a few of the big accounts nuke themselves?

This is a DM for @darthbluesky.bsky.social Darth, my son is sending me important picture updates from the house while I'm at work, and this is the latest I've received. Feel like he's mastered important updates.

You ever get to the point where there's just... Too much news and your brain just kind of shuts off? I've reached that point today. There's just too much shitty right now

Tomorrow I return to work after a week off. Also, tomorrow the first day of the demolition part of the bathroom remodel happens. So, I'm sure my Teams calls will sound fine and not be at all a mess, as I try to catch up after a week away.

When I was younger I thought that as I make more money it was only fair if the company had more access to my free time. Now, in middle age and senior management, I realize...absolutely not. I make what I deserve to make, and I value my time outside of work more than ever. To hell with grind culture

To all newbies, newskies, whatever, this is my one piece of real advice. You don't have to call them skeets. A lot of us don't. It's fine to think it is stupid.

Welcome to BlueSky (Welcoming)! We have butts (promising)! So many butts (confusing). So, so, so many butts (exhausting)...
