Shit runs deep when it comes to labor in Pennsylvania. In “Meet You In Hell” the author talks about how tour guides have watched people from the Pittsburgh area turn around and leave when they find out a house or collection comes from the estate of Henry Frick or Andrew Carnegie, even now.
Seriously, for the simple joy of watching trucks get their roofs torn off because people ignored the signs, you can’t beat these links.
They’re all old enough that their knees hurt even the less-old tech ones
Fun Fact™: The collective noun for a group of buzzards is “Release the Epstein Files.”
Respect to Judge Sooknanan.
Ursula thinks spiders is mighty pretty, but she knows they ain't to everyone's tastes and anyway you can't have an eekalogee with just spiders. I've tried, chillun. You can't.
Oof, ain’t that a whole mood.

Ah, understood.
Somehow I saw the article based on your previous link! But this one displays a preview, yay.
Still my favorite explanation of the difference between INT and WIS: int is knowing that Frankenstein is the name of the doctor. Wis is knowing that Frankenstein was, in fact, the monster
Because to him, that’s what she is. She’s starting to realize it. Good.
Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
Those eyes!
A few simple steps can drastically decrease the amount of personal information that’s available about you online. ssd.eff.org/module/how-...
Mint is a category above and beyond, to be sure!
Another vet here. I’ll go for the weird face of Giardia.
My oregano, basil, and sage are all explosively happy this year! Love it!
In Valen’s name, I will hunt AI lobbyists for sport.
This is the way
Oh holy smokes the number of regions of human skin I’ve seen. I’m all “look, you go to your doc and tell them there’s ringworm in the house, that’s all I got for ya” (and silently) “and don’t drop trou at the vet clinic I mean yeesh” You probably get ten times the amount :(
And I *am* a vet but people come to me all the time for physician style advice on top of veterinary advice. I’ll never forget the time my mom asked me what wine consumption does to the gut biome. MOM. MY PATIENTS DON’T DRINK ALCOHOL. ASK A PHYSICIAN 😂😂😂
All right everyone, we will have a second go at all the jokes and shitposts at a later date.
Oh cool beans!
I didn’t even know what it was and yeah things are fiendishly expensive, ugh!
Awesome! I’m first aid and whether or not you need to rush to get that seen right away. NOT a physician, my medical degree is a different one, but that physiology knowledge plus decades of building up some common sense.
(oh huh, somehow I’d got the feeling you hadn’t liked the movie. Heh)
I hope next time it’s a nicer movie. I enjoy following you here on bsky, I wish to counter whatever snark it was, and I genuinely wish you more nice evenings.
Long may it be maxed out!
Ha! He would. 😂
theyre calling it the last great adventure folks, can you believe that? well we’re gonna do it better than anyone has ever dreamed before. theyre saying theyve never seen anyone heading toward the light quite as quickly, the biggest beautiful light theyve ever seen
And you?
Not sure. Probably really early. Insomnia! Up for a couple hours now.
Best of luck to him. 🍀
Listening to a podcast where a well known tech world wannabe fascist calls journalism "nonconsensual invasion of privacy for profit" and thinks that's clever and my goodness does that reveal a lot of how completely brain wormed a bunch of these guys are once they faced a tiny bit of criticism.

Bluesky right now ...
I hope that when RFK Jr dies someday, someone has been hired and trained to capture whatever crawls out of the body, so that it doesn't find a new host
*gently to my cat*: you cant be a little fucker. You have to be good. No more being a little fucker. *My cat, purring*: the Being a Fucker hour draws near
I have been laughing at this joke all day. 🦉
can’t believe we’re gonna have a First Couch
I'm not saying the Orks have it right, but if we were all Orks he'd definitely be dead by now.
I’ve been saying there’s going to be a noticeable uptick in the amount of hunger. Haven’t seen anything yet that makes me think otherwise. Food banks are going to need a bunch of help.
Super relatable. I need to concentrate to make sure I interact/follow more animal rescue accounts and the like.
In any just world.
PRECISELY this. They truly have no concept that someone who isn’t a man might be… a human being with thoughts and feelings and goals. It’s all about him, which is exactly how he’s been brought up to think.

I finally read computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum’s 1976 classic “Computer Power and Human Reason.” This book deserves a massive revival in our current age of grotesque and largely thoughtless AI creep into everything:
That explains a lot about why the national guard is being aimed at blue cities.
That couples counselor is earning every cent of their fee.
“When you know for sure that you have to leave, it’s too late.”
This.
Blue cities are being kettled.
What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”
Q: How do we know he's saying something absolutely unhinged? A: He has his mouth open. (Fascists in power keep getting pictured with their mouths open. There's a sociology paper in that, I suspect.)
what a fucking stupid time to be a person who cares about other people
"Opposing political views" is a concept that many people still regard as meaning "thoughts about taxation structures" but actually covers "we should put millions of people in concentration camps" and "lots of Americans should be stripped of their rights and treated as property."
oh man. :)
This needs to be law everywhere
He won’t realize it’s a ludicrous way to approach a relationship until she leaves. (He probably won’t realize after, either. But he sure won’t before.)
Life goals. @zem42.bsky.social needs this, too.
Fair :)
oh that sweet summer child!
On this day in 1955, two white men abducted and murdered 14-year-old Emmett Till in Mississippi.
Parenting done right!
Good luck. Fatigue is so all encompassing.
oof. (same, and solidarity.)
It’s enraging and exhausting, and somehow it’s simultaneously unbelievable and inevitable that 51% of humans just live like this. Sigh.
as some of you know, my personal life motto is “honour above everything” Sometimes the honourable thing to do is lie your ass off. Protecting yourself and the most vulnerable in our society is honourable.
“…it is at its core a fascist technology rooted in the ideology of supremacy…” 🔥 this post by @anthonymoser.com slaps so hard, I almost cried at the beauty of it. fuck. thank you for writing that, Anthony! anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...
a friend finalized her dual citizenship to an EU country today and this is what it feels like to be a dog at the shelter watching another dog get adopted
Relatable! Hope you get some rest.

Empathy is a superpower. It's a dreadful, cursed, endlessly painful superpower. But it's what saves us, over and over and over again.
remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature
I hope his son was at least a little taken aback by his dad trying to hit on people the son’s age.
Yeah, I share that frustration!
Separate rooms for the WIN. (We both snore and we have competing insomnia types: sleep onset / sleep maintenance.) Such a game changer. Blessed to have enough space for it.
I'm calling it the mail loneliness epidemic
Occasionally I post an invitation for people with crowdfunding appeals to put them in the comments of a post, and guess what: This is that occasion! If you have (or know someone who has) a crowdfunding appeal, share it here. Everyone else, check them out and it feels right to you, give a little.
Understood! I take it to mean any of “like the facts or situation described”, “agreement”, “love the way you worded it”, “thanks for sharing / today I learned”, and probably a bunch of other possible things.
Clarification: when I say “X animal make terrible pets for most people”, what I really mean is that most people are terrible and wouldn’t be able to do right by that animal, not that the animal is terrible.
@zem42.bsky.social would be amused
Hmm, since the article is more along the forensic anthropology lines, this one is a truly mindblowing book. I don't know what it says about me that I own both of these. Hmm. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/107417...
There's a great book by Mary Roach that goes into this in some detail. wwnorton.com/books/978039...

When will we as a nation get fed up with this?
Oh sweet! I can pick out shirts later then. Sent you a little. 👍👍
If that helps we will do it! Or honest to Betsy, just a Venmo link or something so you don’t have to cook your own dinner? Doesn’t have to be big or earth shattering. Just has to be some help, so your shoulders can drop down and you can take a deep breath.
Dang. Sigh.
Dude you were the help she needed and now you’re in crunch time — is there a way internet strangers could, for a moment, be the help you need?

Where is my teleporter. Hmff.
Please pet his soft soft ears for me.
"What if this thing that I communicate with because I want to bone it has feelings?" is a thing that these fellas could apply more generally, and maybe with better results.
