Just switch to Tidal already. High quality audio is the default and its much cheaper than this nonsense and fucks over artists a lot less.

YELLOWJACKETS, YOU CAN’T JUST KEEP ADDING NEW GIRLS LIKE WE WON’T NOTICE!!! THESE MFERS ARE LOST IN THE FOREST, THERE’S ONLY SO MANY OF THEM!!!

This is probably a stupid question, but why can't we produce pennies in like 3-5 year cycles?Like, don't completely get rid of them, but instead of making them every year, we only allocate a certain amount to be made twice a decade?

I'm working on a mixer event, and I'm so interested to hear people's stories about events where they've successfully met friends and/or lovers(?). What things were fun, engaging, and made you feel safe and welcome? What things were icky or boring?

When Trump was shown at the beginning of the game last night, my whole bar booed. Damn near 300 people. Then a “Fuck Donald Trump” chant broke out. The Birds destroyed the Chiefs and won the Super Bowl, and yet, THAT was probably my favorite part of the night.

My uncle wouldn't stop posting far right anti-LGBTQ memes on Facebook. Finally I replied to one he reposted that was literally about genociding queer people and said, "you realize they're talking about me, right?" He replied, "not you, you're one of the good ones." And kept reposting hate.

A friend (accidentally?) invited me to their Duolingo plan, and it fucking rules?! Its so much better/more useful when it isn’t slowing you down with ads and hearts all the time. It also makes competition trivial, which I don’t like. It’s constantly throwing bonuses at me, which is unfair as hell.

The BEST way to resist right now (besides physical obstruction if you find yourself in the position) is to ORGANIZE: Start a Book Club. Join a Nonprofit. Start a club at School/Work. Organize an Online Community. Make AND Share Art. Join Local Government/Councils/School Boards/PTAs/HOAs.

Holy shit, I totally missed DeWanna Bonner going to the Fever. Damn Indiana made some moves. I hope the Sky are cooking too, getting Sloot back might be a good locker room presence, but doesn't seems like it will move the needle much? Am I getting that wrong? Letting Chennedy go seems terrible?

Everyone concerned about data loss right now should learn about the End of Term Web Archive, which I believe has been working on preserving federal websites for the past 8 months. The dataset you fear has been lost may well be here Just an incredible project. Thank you to everyone involved

I'm so sick of this bullshit narrative that men need war to give their lives meaning or whatever. Go to war on fucking climate change you dipshits. Go to war on billionaires hoarding wealth. Go to war on our goddamn broken healthcare system. Expend your dumbass "masculine energy" on that. Fuck.

Alright. On Pixelfed now. @wwalk3 There's nothing there now, there might not be much in the future. Just trying out a new IG alternative. pixelfed.social/i/web/profil...

@darthamin.bsky.social looks like someone at the Inquirer is a #PitinoGame fan

So, I binged The Terror the other day, and I can't get the final scene out of my head. It's haunting and beautiful, and a reflection of what was lost and the hopeless tragedy of what had happened. But it like, really stuck with me...

How San Ramon teenager Enzo Wu is using speedrunning BART to “spread the gospel of transit” to other teens⬇️ He believes he’s “converted” at least a dozen friends directly and dozens more indirectly, thanks to people who watch his speedrun videos and livestreams. www.bart.gov/news/article...

for those who believe nothing can get better: you don't have to get in the way of those who do

Ah yes, my favorite trilogy

Before whatever is about to happen happens: There will be a lot of reporting and commentary about executive orders. Much of that reporting, at least initially, will regurgitate what the White House *says* the orders do as opposed to what they can *actually* do based on the text and controlling law.

I don’t want to be a pedantic brat, but this is exactly what the outrage over TikTok feels like to me (as a millenial who never downloaded the app)

I definitely didn’t see the Keanu Reeves cameo in Severance coming.

@holleratme.bsky.social so glad you made it back here!

I know it's been like 15 years now, but I'll never forgive the Steelers for choosing Steely McBeam as their mascot, instead of the peregrine falcon that was my suggestion. I actually mean that!

I'm trying to figure out something: YouTube won't run on my laptop if I've connected my airpods, and then disconnected them. If I never connected them? Works fine. If I connect them again? Works again. But if they've been connected and then disconnected? Endless buffering. Weird.

Debi Tirar Mas Fotos is excellent. Just excellent. I dare say its better than Un Verano Sin Ti. One problem I have with it is that some of its best tracks aren't very playlistable, or else I'd play much of this album at the bar all the time.

Damn, I’ve been ttying to get back into JavaScript in order to punch up an old app module I built a while ago, and I’m reminded why I hate it. Web development seems fun, but chaotic as hell.

Damn, the pornbots are now out in full force on BlueSky

I was just about to sing praises for @septaphilly.bsky.social finally just telling me this bus is cancelled instead of having me wait for it like an idiot. Walk down the street to catch an alternate but less convenient bus…guess what bus shows up 10 minutes later?!

“Why you bringing up old stuff?”

The loss against the Kings last night was especially heartbreaking because what's happening right now against the Warriors seemed inevitable.

@septaphilly.bsky.social sat here waiting for an hour for two buses that never showed, which, whatever! Fine! But don’t tell me they’re on their way! Tell me they aren’t coming! I can make the adjustment, just give me accurate information!

@septaphilly.bsky.social didn’t need a new app, they need a new vehicle tracking methodology. If a bus is off-route I need to know where it is. If its just not coming, I need to know that. SEPTA constantly makes you look like an asshole for relying on it. So frustrating.

Something about this has really got to me. It is just such a slap in the face - this is what we're worth, is it? Arguably the largest connector of human beings in the world, flooded with literal friction between each and every one by a billionaire addicted to growth. Death cult shit. Disgraceful.

Kelly Oubre Jr. is my favorite Sixer, and it's not a question. Oubre, Maxey, McCain, and honestly Yabusele have made this team so much fun to watch this season, even through all the losses.

I've been listening to Pitorro de Coco almost nonstop since it came out.

My god, Maxey!!! That self-tip on that fast break, goddamn!!!

One of my favorite things in watching W/NBA in the last two or so years is the confidently enthusiastic player giving the finger-spinning "challenge that!" move to their coach over something clearly their fault or otherwise inconsequential. Few things make me laugh harder than seeing that every time

My partner’s family member got us one of those gift baskets, and the thing is mostly air and packaging? Like, it was huge and top heavy, but the amount of actual consumable stuff in it could fit in a large bowl. So weird.
