Bluesky removed overnight a Palestinian pediatrician, Sheppard/ teacher and a mother of young children- all of whom have validated their identities in many ways and have many real followers… what’s the end game of this?

The "use case" for LLMs is: Spam. Everywhere.

The way our shared calendar is set up whenever Tom makes an event it notifies me that there is a new event so I tried to joke back and made an event called big chillin that starts in 690 AD and ends in the year 4000 but it didn't show up and now if I search for anything including "big" the app crash

As an outsider to the American election, I notice lately that everyone's stopped taking about how good Harris is, and resumed talking about how cringey Trump is. This is not good.

In a long-term romantic relationship, both partners must accept the burden of being the only one who knows how to load the dishwasher correctly.

"Bluesky doesn't have an algorithm". Mastodon: "hold my beer."

Dune (1984) mostly follows the book and avoids Lynchian nonsense until the scene where thurfir hawat is expected to milk a cat duct taped to a milk crate.

Did you know that David Lynch was offered to direct Return of the Jedi, but he turned it down? Could you imagine what Star Wars would be like now, if Lynch touched it in the 80's?

Okay wow, homemade fresh almond milk tastes way better than anything out of a container. I feel like I need to set up a homesteading day every week, though, to make almond milk, peanut butter, and kimchi. These all taste so much better homemade.

To make almond milk you first soak the almonds overnight and then blend them with water. Do you blend them with the soaking water? Or do you dump that water? Does it matter?

How do I get Chinese-restaurant level rice? I have good jasmine rice, I have a good rice cooker, but I can't get that chewy texture I want. Do I have to cook my rice three hours earlier or something?

Got my COVID and flu booster shots for the year and I am dead tired. No regrets, but wow I am just napping so hard rn.

Nintendo Switch 2 is gonna be one of two things: Exactly the same as the original switch but with 4k Output or something but existing games will still look the same. Everyone will buy it. Or, some kinda revolutionary eXistenz fleshy game console you interact with by petting and talking to it.

In Yoshi's Island, if the "Kamek saying 'OH, MY!!!'" object is inserted anywhere in a level that is not a boss battle, Baby Mario will explode. This will count as completing the level.

im now mutuals with the guy behind PNG files on mastodon. also the guy who came up with the literal internet joined a couple days ago if you're not on mastodon you're missing out if you ask me

A simple technique called “POSSE” offers the best of both worlds: total control over your own work, while still maintaining a presence on third-party social media platforms. www.citationneeded.news/posse/

GIMP key commands are actually really easy to understand, for example if you want the color picker just press "O" on the keyboard for "Ohhh thats the color I want babiee"

Coulda fooled me

My Mastodon instance is down. 😫

How come Bluesky only has one topic per day?

Ig Nobel for Demographer that showed that blue zones have particularly good longevity because of pension fraud 🙄https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ioe/news/2024/sep/ucl-demographers-work-debunking-blue-zone-regions-exceptional-lifespans-wins-ig-nobel-prize

as someone who has said "excuse me, sorry" to inanimate objects on multiple occasions out of a bone-deep, constant sense of shame and deference, i truly struggle to understand the psychology of people who listen to their phones on full volume without headphones in public spaces.

now he'

the beauty of the fediverse is that it's all run by a single person. her name is "lain serial experiments" and she lives inside the computers

ppl talk about "unfinished project graveyards" like its a bad thing, when really you're getting really really good at bringing things into this universe and summarily executing them. that's some hardcore shit right there, kid. I like your style
