I will never apologize for a post

Programmers when they don't comment the code:

It's the weekend, baby

if something good has happened for you recently, like a promotion or financial success you feel weird bragging about to your friends, i want to know about it. dm me your brags!! i love when good stuff happens to people!!!

The Google AI results at the top of searches are so pointless. We have a resource (the internet!) that knows everything, and instead of going to the source, it's like you asked your stupid cousin who is trying to recall the information from a podcast he heard last week.

That’s how you write a headline, people.

I escaped poverty because I am a scientist. And I am a scientist because of the National Science Foundation. A 🧵:

OTTAWA – Canada’s leading LGBTQ+ advocacy organization is boycotting travel to the U.S. — and won’t attend an upcoming United Nations event — in response to concerns about how their members might be treated at the border under the Trump administration.

Donald Trump just quoted Napoleon. Napoleon was a dictator, who seized power in a violent coup at gun and cannon point. He then invaded all his neighbors, citing patriotic duty, resulting in 3 to 6 MILLION people dying -- obliterating his army and country in the process.

Bass is the best instrument because you don't have to have any talent to be ok at it and if you keep playing it you can get pretty good at it while still having no talent

When people see the maple leaf, they see possibility. They see freedom. They see a helping hand. They see Canada, and the best of our values. Happy 60th to our flag. 🇨🇦

We had a pet raven and her mate here for years. We called them 'Boo' and '' 'Ya'—'Boo', the female would see food and bounce up and down before taking it—it was like the food had scared her. They stuck around for about five years. Ravens are amazing critters, just like their crow cousins.

British Columbia’s forests minister says Canadian softwood lumber exported to the United States could soon face additional tariffs and duties of up to 55 per cent.

Stop advocating for trans people by referring to us as canaries in the coal mine. The whole point of the canary is that it's an acceptable sacrifice to protect the people who actually matter. We are not a *warning sign*. We are real people. Our lives and rights matter in and of themselves.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

I just almost sent something to a friend because it made me say "Hell, ya!" But then I stopped for a second and thought ... there's no source on this, and it seems awfully perfect. I checked a little more, and it's fake. But it's SO easy to get sucked in and repeat misinfo. Take that second.

Gulf of Distraction

For those of you desperately in need of distraction from today's headlines, here's a photo of a bunny & a chick who are friends.

Imagine if @aoc @sanders.senate.gov , every dem, SIMULTANEOUSLY held Town Halls where they allowed grant and contract recipients to explain to the country what it is they do and why it's important Invite all media. Including RW podcasters. @spaces Flood the zone Call it a Day Of Transparency

Yay! A rock tea from the 2023 Tong Xin She rock tea flight with heavier oxidation. A pleasure to drink this "Fo Shou" or Buddha's Hand! Mrs Flannesyad said, "This tastes like sweet flowers! I like rock tea!" #RockTea #YanCha #TongXinSheTeaHouse #Tea #Cha #DailyTea

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." Arthur C. Clarke

I can predict with 99% accuracy whether you will commit a crime next week. And just for my followers, I'm gonna reveal my super sophisticated machine learning algorithm right now. You ready? No one share it, please: "For all people, predict NO."

These two lovely people…

When you don’t understand how anything works, everything is a conspiracy.

Losing moral authority, trust and respect. What could go wrong? paulkrugman.substack.com/p/sabotaging...

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

If you decide to take a break from social media, don't announce it. Instead, make your last post something interesting like, "Guys, there's the cutest family of black bears over there. I'm gonna go grab a photo. brb."

When Donald Trump talks about making Canada the 51st state, we need to take him seriously—not in the sense in which a person who is not joking should be taken seriously, but in the sense in which unexploded ordnance should be taken seriously. www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...

It's not "free speech" when a hyperpartisan billionaire manipulates what speech is promoted or suppressed. It's time to take control of social media. FreeOurFeeds.com

Truly wild that they got away with “Bustin’ makes me feel good.”

I love my public library. They whiz books all around the state and let me pick them up at the cute little branch walking distance from my place. They accept my purchase requests. They send me amazing unexpected recs. The thematic shelving is always interesting. And the librarians are hilarious. <3

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.
