People are really struggling right now. Instead of using AI to make images, a couple hundred dollars to a working artist would help them out.
I didn't do stuff you know about and you probably don't know me. But I'm mostly nice 🤷 #1 stan account for August (Hatchie's Version) apparently Creator of a few bots that bring RSS feeds to Bsky (check my lists)

It will be 'fun' to watch the SC bend over backwards to claim that this regulation is somehow ok under the Bruen ruling
My 5yo saw a sign that said "No dogs allowed" and said "so cats are allowed here?". He's going to love posting here one day
When you think the only version of La Bamba should be by Richie Valens
Sex sells.
I knew just from the title that this trailer would make me cry! OMG this looks so good!
Beyond excited for this.
If you're an indie developer, you should hang this screenshot on your wall and use it as inspiration to never give up
Father speaking to his son: "Don't give up on Basketball, son! Kobe Bryant never gave up!" Miserable people:

Good news on this front: Pressured by Sen. Ron Wyden @wyden.senate.gov (D-Oregon) and Rep. Mike Flood (R-Nebraska), YouTube TV and Hulu have just agreed to carry C-SPAN.
New idea for what to do if I win the Powerball...
I was treated like a terrorist just for threatening violence with the intent of causing terror
Nice to see that the rich and powerful are all dumb as hell
"centuries-old", you say? Perhaps 2.38 centuries old? Like, to when the US Constitution was ratified? The document that explicitly gives the power of the purse to Congress? So he's weakening the Constitution? 🙄 Maybe you should say THAT instead of this bullshit?
Early Woody is such a weird looking guy. I kinda wish they had such with that!
Limited edition weird bad idea flavors like this will work on me nearly every time. Super sweet and odd tasting. Not recommended, unless you're just super curious about the abomination
Amazing. Also, I called the hell out of that one. Also I'll miss him on Dropout!
Honestly, gun deaths in America are more of an emergency than any emergency under trump other than covid 💅🏼
This turned me into TWO The Jokers
Rambo: The Force of Freedom is my go to "who thought this was appropriate?" example
Is there any sort of site to find artists doing commissions? I have an idea for some original art I'd like to give my in laws for their baby shower, but I don't even know where to start. Is Etsy the place to go? Not looking for AI 'art' though
Obligatory repost
Sincerely, a LOT of pundits got used to being able to say any damned thing and never being held accountable or called out when they are wrong/full of shit. That's why they don't like BlueSky, because a lot of people here are tired of it and call them out. That's "blueskyism"
Sticking to my bit of saying vote me President in 2028 and I will fix this. School buses for all, car drop offs for none!
Conveniently, Nate makes no attempt to define his nonsense word, so if Dems lose, it's because they didn't abandon "blueskyism" and if they win, it's because they did!
Sega published Joe Montana Football in 1990/91 which features Montana and no other real life players or teams because they didn't have the NFL license. The absolute confident ignorance of this dude
Breaking, Mark Cuban is a dumbass with money. Also water wet, sun hot
Oh yeah, I was totally kidding. The video involved two people hacking twice as fast by typing on the same keyboard at the same time from NCIS. Truly ridiculous stuff 😆
Adorable! Congrats on your new friend!
I've said this before and it bears repeating: One way we'll know if and when a real machine intelligence happens is that it will create art that is an artifact of its own intelligence, not ours, and it likely to be absolutely incomprehensible to us human on first approach. How cool with that be.
The number of times I've looked at that specific buffet restaurant and thought "maybe I should..." only to be stopped by my wife's rational dislike of buffets... Important work!
I dunno, I think cop shows treat technology stuff pretty accurately! Sorry about the completely unrelated video below, I don't know how to remove it
"healthier foods" often carries a lot of nonpartisan anti-science grift along for the ride (e.g. seed oil obsessions, carnivore diet, anti-gmo crusades, raw milk)
Some of you have never been the direct offspring of my parents and it shows
GoldenEye on N64 was overrated and people only thought it was amazing because they never played better multiplayer FPSes on PC. Everything else is nostalgia glasses and nobody under 35 likes the game
That's amazing! I always wanted a Carl Kasell greeting
Did I miss Giuliani winning an election recently? What's that dude the mayor of?
*crater the economy 🤦🏼♀️
How do they expect to fill senior roles if they won't hire entry level roles? This absolute foolishness is going to create the economy if it doesn't collapse first. (I think it will collapse first due to product liability)
And all 32 AB

Getting food poisoning and having to run through the entire set of Nickelodeons Guts and solve a Scooby Doo mystery with a living talking dog before you can use a toilet
I'm sure the contents will be good and also LOOK AT THAT DESIGN Y'ALL
"Content Strategist" feels like one of the jobs that LLMs are supposed to replace 🤔
I know some developers disagree, but it feels so good to take some garbage code I cranked out to "just get it done" and refactor it into something that looks and feels nice. I genuinely love cleaning up code. Is there a job somewhere that just involves refactoring? I think that would be my dream job
I'll straight up shop at a convention center and convene at a shopping center. I really don't give a shit anymore.
Oh no... I've got to go buy some new accessories for my son 😆
when it comes to dutch ovens, it's not the crime, it's the cover-up
What? That's insane! It's the spooky ride, I've never even been and I know that! Unacceptable. There oughta be a law against it
It's a lot like how Matt Gertz would catch a bunch of crap on Twitter anytime Matt Gaetz popped up on the news
This reminds me of a video I saw on the old site where a cop struggles to jump a fence, almost busts his ass and then the next cop behind him just opens the gate 😆
Damn. That's shitty. The good news is there must be no other crime in Florida if they are devoting this much effort to preventing 'vandalism'
It spurred my interest in computers that led to my eventual career as a software engineer, plus my previous success in litigation support/electronic discovery
Dreamcast fighting game marathons, most Soul Calibur & DoA
Being a kid in the 80s lol Plus having parents who bought computers and were willing to take me to Babbages to get pc games
A. Couch co-op! I want to pay games with my kiddos locally! Online gaming ruined couch co-op B. Live service games. It's all dark pattern, Skinner box, evil bullshit
GTA 3. What an amazing experience being in that open world was!
You could make an awesome series out of Metroid, I think. It should be animated, tho
Never want to actually make one, but the idea I had as a kid was for a sort of open world being-a-kid game. I think Bully is close enough, tho
Super Mario World. Peak 2d Mario. One of the few games I've 100%ed more than once
Pool of Radiance
Red Dead Redemption. I tried, I really did, but I just was bored the whole time
Picross. Any version. I'm a millionaire after a month.
GTA IV. Turning point for the series, and not in a good way.
Probably Animal Crossing. Not a game I'm interested in playing, but feels like a very relaxing way to live. Just go catch a fish, dig up a fossil, decorate your house, no stress
Probably Super Mario Bros
Not the game itself, but when my friend beat Chaos in Final Fantasy on my save, I was livid!
Probably the SNES game where your uncle ditches you and you rescue a princess and save the world
Parsec (most people have never even heard of the TI-99/4A computer)
Super Mario Bros 3
Oh man... It would have been some pong-knock-off tv tennis game in the 80s for sure, just don't remember which one
Just finished WEFUNK 1244 and holey moley it's an absolute classic. Especially Stilo's second set starting with a Mama Said Knock You Out remix through Step Off. The Gin and Juice mashup with The Message worked so well!
Once Trump dies, I think we're going to see a lot of Repubs who were bending the knee suddenly going after that throne and Vance is going to end up with knives in his back. He's the Ted Cruz of Vice Presidents

Yo @Wendys how many reskeets to get RFK Jr fired?
*an attorney And, tbc, she actually did have insurance when she got the ticket, she just couldn't find the paper to show the cop at the time. Still has to tell the state bar like a decade later that it happened because it could be viewed as fraud
I'm not buying any more board games. I promised my wife. I have too many. But...
Starting a thread of actors I like that I don't think get talked about enough with Lili Taylor. Check out her starring role in the Valerie Solanas biopic "I Shot Andy Warhol" for a great performance, and in the most recent season of Poker Face season finale for something a little lighter
they made an SVU episode about bluesky
My wife, at attorney in Texas, was told when getting her license that she had to declare to the state bar that she got a ticket when she was 18 for driving without insurance because it was a form of fraud and could result in discipline or disbarment
dad tried to chatgpt together a family photo from two where different people were holding the camera. I think it came out great
Uh oh new fear just dropped
tbc (because this is social media), not criticizing Asawin. He's great. Critizing the article from The Hill he links to
Just thinking about this as an aging sketch comedian complains that you couldn't make a 45 year old sketch movie again in 2025
Sometimes comedy ages well. I watched cartoons from the 40s in the 80s-90s and loved them. But sometimes comedy ages like milk. And you know what comedy ages the worst? Sketch comedy. Show a Gen Z-er a Belushi Samurai sketch and they will not understand what is happening or why they did it 16 times
I would have added a little more context to make this clear, but I'm not a reporter: "The president's net negative 18-point approval rating is his lowest recorded since [he tried to overthrow the government in] January 2021..."
also couldn't make Airplane in 1950. But you can make films that poke fun at current culture. Popstar came out less than a decade ago and Brooks is making Spaceballs 2 and just did History of the World, Part II. Comedy, satire, and parody are all alive and well, despite what a lot of old men claim
100% agree. A lot of films couldn't be made today because they wouldn't make any sense to a modern audience. Like if you were making "Airplane" today, there are a lot of jokes that are specific to late 70s culture. E.g., almost nobody under 40 knows what "jive" means. For that same reason, you...

#snake_casing ftw #not_today_but_soon
This is a man overburdened by mitochondrial challenges
I don't think you could make Freddy Got Fingered now. Everything is adversarial.
BlueSky needs to tweak their trending algorithm. I don't see "Did it finally happen?" in there at all
