#RIP one of the greats. Jill Sobule - Bitter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9RI5qxxX4M #jillSobule #music

Absolutely devastated. I saw her perform for the third time this past summer but I never made it to her show F*ck 7th Grade. Her music was so beautiful and funny, just like she was.

@theTFB welcome to gardenstate.social! how did you find and choose our server?

Hello! We're the team that builds and supports Mastodon, alongside the community. Today, we wanted to share an update on our organisation. https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/05/evolving-the-team/

Look at this 50,000 person stadium in the suburbs of Colon with no parking lots. What a treat that must be! https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=RheinEnergieSTADION+&ia=web&iaxm=maps&source=places

The Beths - "Metal" (Official) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrVEgP0LkDA #music

For reasons I can explain this album hits me. I wonder if it's because I listen to this a lot while reading some books and so it heightens it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh8sm3AuoQk&list=OLAK5uy_mN-6W3wPCFEzGSxRkEAN-vTiWAbYQJWzo #music

It turns out Donald Trump really hates being fact checked – especially right in his face 🔥

People keep talking about AI and crypto coins as things that are popular and interesting. But Fentanyl is also popular and interesting, so y'all will need a better argument than that.

This is a pretty great overview. The Fosstodon Drama tells us a bigger problem about Mastodon by Nicco Loves Linux https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywAmBVxNqbk #fosstodon

Worth noting how far right MAGA US intellectuals often now claim that Canadian national identity is fake and Mexicans are not capable of managing a state. All reminiscent of the predominant narratives in Russia claiming that Ukrainian identity does not exist and Kazakhs are incapable of statehood

Sometimes I forget every language has a way to have an accent from a different language.

Don't let yourself get so captured by words and definitions that you let others weaponize them against you. Words are there to be useful and when they stop being useful you have to use different words.

Mark Carney has just announced his first mandate and it says you’re a cutie patootie.

@Quintessence welcome to garden State.social! How did you find and pick our server?

Big respect to the Back To The Future creators who claim their will never be another one. But they act like they will live forever and will always get to say no. It's going to happen one way or the other. No franchise is immune […]

Fediverse Report #114 - This week's #fediverse news: - Drama around a Fosstodon moderator, leading to the admins of the Fosstodon server stepping down. I take a closer look on what this says about how instance selection works on the fediverse, and why this means more servers should have a […]

A Chat with Quinns by Matthew Colville https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cDcvAwclag #ttrpg #dnd

One problem with drama with mastodon server admins is 90% of the time I don't understand the incident and tracking down all the threads in a way that makes sense to me feels a little impossible because it's so easy to miss some context.

1/ There is no such thing as FEDIVERSE CULTURE. The Fediverse does not have a (single) culture. The Fediverse is made of many many different cultures. There are Fediverse cultureS (plural). ... #DeSe #FediCulture #Fediverse #FediverseCulture

An interesting convo. Zephyr Teachout was more convincing in writing. And it's not surprising when the podcast host is more convincing then their guests. Trying to balance all this in my brain. Abundance and the Left | The Ezra Klein Show https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib1wzwbL7Is #uspol

Good luck Canada. Feels very much like when you are super drunk and you hope your friend is just sober enough to get you home.

Over at The Verge I wrote about how Brendan Carr has transformed our top media and telecom regulator into a dangerous, incoherent, grievance-fueled censorship and harassment machine:

Fun little factoid from @bsky.brid.gy 12 of the 14 #NWSL teams have beaten each other in an ouroborus that looks like this: BAY > NC > KC > WAS > ORL > SEA > POR > NJY > LA > HOU > UTA > CHI > BAY Only San Diego and Louisville are left out.

Just as "web log" became the even more awkward "blog", I suggest we change "newsletter" into "slet" Then we can talk about the sletosphere, have startups like sletspot and sletlines, etc. It'll be terrible, as nature intended
