For those who have been using both Bluesky and Twitter today- how has coverage of the fires here compared to Twitter?

Are people still calling them “skeets” here?

Oh shit r/place is back.

Long live the Silver Line train to Dulles!

Fuck the king of England amirite?

Reskeet if down for a trip to Dollywood.

We need a yuppie in the White House who’s not afraid to bring the Oval Office into the 21st century by transforming the Resolute Desk into the Resolute Standing Desk With Dual Monitors.

Hello, Twitter people checking their Bluesky accounts because Twitter is currently down 👋

"'Succession' offered both a backstage look at the lives of the ultrawealthy and the comforting assurance that maybe those lives, despite the expensive trinkets that adorned them, weren’t especially nice." https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/28/arts/television/succession-finale.html

I gotta get my ass to Fun Town.

The same voting jurisdiction that elected Mitt Romney (R-UT) Governor of Massachusetts in 2002 also elected Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) to the Senate, which of course means the same jurisdiction that elected Romney to the Senate will surely elect Warren Governor of Utah should she ever decide to run.

Agreed. I doubt Prigozhin achieves much, and he's just as horrible a person as Putin. But I do think it is good for humanity to see an example of corrupt elites initiating a war, failing badly at it, then turning on one another. Hopefully it makes other corrupt elites think twice.

If they weren’t going to make it, I’m glad it was an implosion. I can’t imagine a more horrific way to go than suffocating on a timer in your own tomb.

Has anyone made a video montage of all the time Logan Roy says “fuck off”?

Target is high-key goated when an unbelievable amount of things is the vibe.

California is where woke comes to vibe. 👉🏼😎👉🏼

Here’s something no one’s done yet, something I believe should be done, and something that would be a bit of a dream gig for me: design a course for the College Board called AP Rock History.

One of life’s biggest cheat codes is realizing that simply showing up for shit gets you like 90 percent there for basically everything. Want to be a good student? Show up to your professors’ shit. A good employee? Show up to your employer’s shit. A good friend, to your friends’ shit, etc etc.

NYT gets so excited when they get to report on Trump. NYT loves giving Trump the attention he so badly wants.

I’ve started Succession.

Could they not have just called the streaming service “HBO” from the beginning and released updates to the app as needed instead of rebranding repeatedly and making us download a new app every few quarters?

Always interesting to see how stressed the country becomes over debt ceiling negotiations when the resolution invariably has been and continues to be that Congress and the White House work together to avoid a default. Always easier to say in hindsight, ofc, but this has never not been the outcome.

Telling ChatGPT to talk to me in Bart Simpson's voice kicks so much ass.

My reaction to most of the AI stuff I’ve bumped into in the legal word has been “huh, I’m actually surprised this wasn’t already automated years ago.”

My son just said “Dad, how do you know where to put deodorant since your armpit hair & your chest hair connect?”

My dad has caught on to the word “mid.” He knows it’s a gen z thing and he’s aware he’s late to the party, but that’s not at all stopping him from using it frequently and, interestingly enough, correctly.

Pre-gaming a run with a can of Diet Coke. 💪🏼

i am about to say the most hillbilly thing I've ever said, which is: "I'm trying to tune my banjo but my pig won't stop oinking and the tuner is picking up the oinks instead"

White smoke rises from the Sistine Chapel. The Foo Fighters have chosen their next drummer.

Twitter sucks rn but the idea of it is good. Twitter has an implementation problem but it ^could^ be good. LinkedIn sucks in the sense that I will never be on board with the idea of earnestly posting about being excited about work.

If you’ve ever driven to Park City, UT it’s pretty hard to miss where this Banksy tag was briefly up back in 2010.

Is Google cool or lame? Obviously, Macs are cool and PCs are lame. iOS is the Mac of smartphones and Android is the PC of smartphones, suggesting Google is also lame. But for email, Gmail is the Mac and Outlook is the PC, suggesting Google is actually v cool. Put simply, the data is inconclusive.

Banksy did a piece of Osama bin Laden (famously did 9/11) up City Creek Canyon in Salt Lake back in 2010.

I’ve walked into a Vans outlet and forgotten how to behave.
