Anyone heard/seen anything about off-cycle (early) monthly SS payments this month? Is this a February thing that happens every year, or is Elon up to something? Or, are they being rushed out ahead of the looming government shutdown?

Trump set the record for the most expensive Superbowl ticket ever; $18M and he left at halftime cause he got his little feelings hurt by the halftime performer. What a f-in baby.

One of the most annoying things about BlueSky? The number of posts with a link to a story behind a paywall. This is akin to preaching to the choir, the choir being those who also subscribe (and probably already saw the shared article).

Been trying to play around with DeepSeek this morning. It’s not working. It did the other day when I first downloaded it.

Every one of Dump’s Cabinet is in a raging battle to see who can be as big an idiot as Papa.

Wonder if Netflix picked the best time to raise prices -again.

Breaking: Democratic Senators agree to come together and perform a heartfelt rendition of Imagine.

Amen - we have no leadership in the Democratic party. They all act like beaten dogs, cowardly, cowering, only defending their own food dish.

JD Vance says he would like more babies in the US, but personally I would like fewer in the government

The problem with this site attracting X-refugees is that it attracts X-refugees who should have stayed put on X. It is possible to change locations AND attitude at the same time, but some people are just lazy.

Cancelled my WAPO subscription for the second time following the Ann Telnaes debacle. This afternoon I got a resubscribe solicitation email from WAPO saying “Now is not the time to stop reading!” Correct - I should have done that sometime in July. Not going back unless Kara Swisher buys it.

Amen

I personally think that this is a far more appropriate name.

If you want to see an accurate, prescient depiction of today’s media world, go (re)watch the 1976 movie “Network.”

@karaswisher.bsky.social Where is the data on Meta-platform abandonment? If anyone can find it, it’s you

*eating chocolate while my dog stares at me expectantly* me: "I'm so sorry baby, this is bad for puppies! It'll hurt your wittle tummy! But I love you! I LOVE YOU!" my dog: you have made a powerful enemy today.

Has anyone seen data on Meta platform (FB, Threads) cancellations (by users) since Zuck decided he enjoyed toxic masculinity and kissing Trump's ass?

Pete Hegseth promised to stop drinking “if confirmed.” A better answer would have been “I realized I had a problem and so I stopped drinking.” The world is full of men who say “take me back baby and I’ll stop hitting you.” Both come from a dishonest soul. Sad excuse of a man.

Too many posts where one random person is telling off/complaining about a personal acquaintance that no one else knows. You are not passing notes in class, you are shouting to the entire (Bluesky) world. FFS
