It's weirdly difficult to remember that Trump's popular vote margin was /less/ than Hillary's in 2016. Biden got more votes in 2020 than Trump got in 2024 and Trump surrogates all under-performed in congressional races. This is not a mandate, I don't get why it is being portrayed that way.

Thinking about how two of the best stories I’ve ever written were published in a now defunct lit mag/website. And honestly I’m…kinda not mad. Maybe art should be ephemeral.

Met the kid from that one Fall Out Boy music video

Since Buffy is trending again, here's a poem I wrote about the last time Buffy was trending #poetry #buffy

You have more in common with every trans person than any billionaire.

About time the Dems start doing something! Now do more!

Bluesky. Where the internet can exist in its truest form. A place for cats. Happy #caturday

THE FIRST EPISODE OF "ASK HANKY ANYTHING" IS OUT!! Featuring Rhett and Link, chicken boobies, lead bread, weaponized laughter, and, yes. open discussions about the existence of God. www.youtube.com/watch?v=42ym...

I'm just going to (re)post this whenever I need to remind myself. Maybe it'll help you too? 1. Focus on things in your control & take ONE action there. 2. Limit your inputs. You can't help if you're paralyzed.

This is school!

I can't help feeling a "game-changing" technology that's going to "transform" the way we work wouldn't need to be sneaked into products without the user's consent. All I see is posts asking "How do I switch this f**king thing off?" Copilot's the U2 album nobody asked for, except it's not free.

First up on Ask Hank Anything, Rhett & Link have some questions for @hankgreen.bsky.social (and vice versa 👀). Premiering January 29th 12pm PT | 3pm ET at youtube.com/complexly.

Homemade chicken gnocchi soup. Small comforts today.

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace. If you have a personal Google Account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off...

I’m just a professional writer, sitting in front of a laptop, singing Hollaback Girl to spell Bananas.

Heard the the Free Credit Report band is getting back together for When We Were Young ‘25

What’s your favorite line of #poetry that isn’t from a poem? Mine is the famous Nintendo Quit Screen message: “everything not saved will be lost”

👀

Hey, you, you’re finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, right? The one between dreams and reality. That gloss of tender neurons that holds our world together, precariously close to a whirlwind of gnashing teeth.

There's nothing more devastating than discovering a new band only to find out they released one album before breaking up.

Where are all the #poets on Bluesky? I need all my tragic little sprinkles of moon dust back. Which is to say (usually this summons them)…

The great thing about being a ManU fan today is that, unlike the early aughts, folks can’t just claim you’re here for the glory anymore.

It’s a distraction. Remember a few weeks ago when there was a brief feeling of unity among Americans over healthcare? When it felt like an actual class awaking might happen? This is a new circus specifically designed to make you forget about that. And it’s working.

It’s true. We did indeed kick ass last year.

I don’t know where @lasertheboy.bsky.social finds the time to do so many cool ass side projects, but he does!

If BlueSky wants to truly capture the magic of the pre-musk, pre-maga internet they should let us post cryptic lyrics as away messages

There is a special magic in a Christmas morning cup of coffee

It’s true.

AI is already making our day jobs more pointless. We're not letting it make our fake jobs of writing more pointless too! Fuck AI. We only interact with humans at this Taco Bell!

They look like they wouldn’t do the assigned reading but would debate with the kids who did because they’re “just asking questions”

It’s so nice to be at the stage of a lifetime of a platform when everyone mostly agrees the people running it are working hard and doing a good job. Let’s enjoy that while we can!

I’m a genre nomad. I have no writing home. I wander the page, squatting in poetry, crashing with fiction, occasionally bumping awkwardly into memoir at a hostel.

#writingcommunity is there a word that captures the feeling you get after you’ve just taken the trash out, it’s late November, and the night has covered you in that special dark that feels like childhood?

Where are the my fellow fans of the #strange, the #unknown, the #cryptic and the #cryptids! Monster of the Week is here to bring you research into some of the weirdest stories around. open.substack.com/pub/garyredd...
