If you're not sure why people at the National Weather Service are being fired, that's been a GOP goal for some time. This is from Project 2025, which argues the NWS should focus on selling weather data - not free forecasts and weather warnings.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

I'm gonna remind people that I feel pretty strongly that if you bought one of my ebooks legitimately, then you own the book and however you secure that ownership is fine by me mashable.com/article/how-...

Please list five things you did last week: 1. I never gave you up 2. I never let you down 3. I never ran around nor deserted you 4. I never made you cry nor said goodbye 5. I never told a lie or hurt you

The #Amazon #enshittification goes crazy tho

I completely over the attitude of the people supporting my apps platform. All they’re offering is snide one liners for stuff they’re not documenting or just straight up wrong about.

Finished the book the other day and really enjoyed it. It hit at a moment where I really needed a change of pace. Not too long but interesting story and somewhat lighthearted. I would recommend it!

I am mentally fried from it all. My recent remedies are playing with my kiddos, playing video games and reading. I want to get more involved in my community as it gets warmer but gods I cannot keep doing the doomscrolling.

How shameful the state of things

In an effort to get back into books this year I am starting with @scalzi.com's Kaiju Preservation Society and I gotta say (having this be my first book of his) I am really, really enjoying it! It's been a long time since I've been able to just jump into something fun to read. 📚

Finding new authors via Bluesky is neat!

Hi welcome to crackship(+friendship) central #AnimalCrossing #solatorobo

This is like Kendrick and Drake if both of them were Drake.

I have no mouth yet I must synergize my brand storytelling

This probably isn’t the developers’ top priority (although it should be), but I’d love to see the Bluesky app have an option to switch to the Julian calendar for those of us who reject the lies of Pope Gregory XIII

YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE THIS BUT LETTING STRAngers toggle my caps lock KEY IS MAking it difficult to Use my COMPUTER

Reminder that a study on lizard saliva eventually led to the development of Ozempic so be real wary of the criticism of studies and funding that sounds non-sensical when presented with no context.

A Lucky Dragon for your day 🐉🍀

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

With how quickly Google fell over themselves to implement the "Gulf of America" EO, how long do you wager it is before they just downrank all lib search results?

Which as a reminder, Bsky has had a sizeable korean and japanese population for ages, and unfortunately this setting could mean you're missing out on a lot of cool people. This is not a preference or what you post, this -limits- what languages you see! Set it to nothing!

Does anyone have any takes on Proton Drive?

I’m back in my Sonic the Hedgehog era because my oldest boy has discovered Sonic. Let’s go!

God what a gift to be able to dog-walk Zuck in his mentions on his own platform, I finally have a place to channel all of my rage to someone who truly deserves it and who knows that I have been shitting on him to his face for fully half of his time on this earth.

Playin Abzu, yeah that’s the vibe. Now I want to replay Flower!

The TikTok ban sets a terrible precedent for free speech, but the solution to the unchecked power of American corporate social media isn't seeking out Chinese corporate social media. We need to embrace decentralized platforms such as PixelFed which are built for use-first rather than profit-first.

Elon Musk's anti-remote work crusade is so funny to me this is the guy with the vision for the future? he wants to go to Mars, why? so you can sit in an office cubicle from 9 to 5 but you're doing it on the Red Planet? lol

It’s actually over for my productivity I discovered nerd fonts and oh-my-posh. Now cue a week of terminal customization!

WhatsApp is owned by Meta and chat on many platforms is not secure. I recommend #Signal Messenger for secure communication (messages and video calls): signal.org The upcoming hours, days, weeks, months, and years will be turbulent. Be kind to yourself and check in on loved ones.

I feel like by the end of this admin I’ll go from being a progressive liberal happy lil dotnet programmer to an occult communist who lives in a cave and only uses FOSS and only skeets from the command line
