🚬 🗡️❤️ Happy Valentines from Noemi, Catalina, Virgil and Francis in the Doyle library from ‘Mexican Gothic’ written by @silviamg.bsky.social It’s an honor to be asked by Silvia to explore how her complex characters would look in a Red Nose Studio world.

One of my closest personal relationships that I have formed in ATL is with the manager at the Dunkin Donuts

I can speculate quite confidently that the path Trump is choosing will absolutely include the deaths of many Americans, either/both domestically and abroad.

The people who think they are good at everything because they are good at coding are also bad at coding.

This Stylish Case Allows You To Build The N64 Mini Of Your Dreams.

In terms of messaging, "Billionaires who bought the presidency want to cut benefits you paid for and take your money" isn't exactly a complicated one to sell, unless you are somehow also beholden to those billionaires.

Related, I liked Tom Vilsack's answer to JMart - and thought, why don't Dems run bolder presidential campaigns? One reason is that they are very responsive to MSM and worry about the "but how? And how will you PAY for it" Qs. Rs are not. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

1/ Hey y'all! I've been getting a lot of questions about this, so I wanted to share up front why I’m not supporting Councilmember Lewis’s Adair Park data center proposal. 🧵

Here's my incredibly popular opinion that will never get any traction: Most software does not need new features. None. Zero. Zilch.

distributed systems man. why do we do this to ourselves

Posting dog to the timeline

It's Twitter, 2024. Posters have moved en masse to BlueSky. Elon Musk tweets a meme of Left Shark saying "the woke virus strikes again." A handful of divorced 50-year-olds in Big Dog t-shirts respond "lmao EPIC sir." All is well

There’s a non-zero chance that since he keeps nominating and appointing people he sees on Fox News he may put Pete Buttigieg in as Secretary of Transportation

The copilots will continue until morale improves

Short answer- yes, it makes a difference to the development team so they can prioritize which bugs to fix.

Are there are great magazines/trades/indie zines for genre writing out there? Looking for a physical publication that’s mostly concerned with sci-fi/fantasy/mystery/horror writing.

There are currently only 22 films streaming on Netflix made before 1980 and not a single one made before 1960, with the oldest film on the platform currently being PSYCHO. I know I’m a broken record but: buy physical media, support your local library, etc etc

sonic the hedgehog is canonically antifa

The first question out of any journalist’s mouth when questioning a Democratic politician should be “what is your plan for overturning Citizens United?”

not saying anything groundbreaking here, but I really think "politics as a form of content to be served up and consumed like all other forms of content" has been an enormous, underrated disaster in terms of giving folks the illusion of being informed while essentially being gamed like a drug addict

👋 Hey new Blueskies (pronounced “Bloo-skeez” 😜)! Welcome! Things can be a little different around here but the most important thing to know is that every Monday we like and reskeet (that’s Bluesky for “repost” 😜) everyone named Geoff! It sounds wacky but it’s just part of the culture around here!

obviously the most recent explosion in growth is linked to the election but the enthusiastic level of engagement makes me think people are pretty hungry to interact with users who act like people instead of bots

FWIW the internet degraded as a whole once we started tracking ‘engagement’, ‘likes’, ‘followers’, etc. Back in the day we were all just posting for love of the game and people weren’t flooding the internet with lies and rage bait in an attempt to get more ‘engagement’. Post like no one is reading!

Well, for what it’s worth, the crypto I’ve been sitting on for a few years is suddenly doing great

Every leftist I talked to who didn’t vote for Harris did so over Gaza. Everyone else I talked to who didn’t vote for Harris did so over inflation. I think the left is going to overthink it but it largely does just boil down to “eggs are too expensive” for most of America.

I know it’s pure hubris but still…I’m pretty sure I could build a boat by hand

Riddle me this, why is my discover feed filled entirely with the 10 accounts I already follow?
