Part of the reason im convinced so many US news publications are primarily ideological, rather than "motivated by ratings/clicks" is so few have pushed back in any way whatsoever against X and Meta throttling outgoing links.

This morning (9/1) at 8 AM feds pulled over a couple at 18th & Park NW. They smashed the window, dragged the husband out & arrested him. When a community member stopped to record they were grabbed & threatened w/ pepper spray by this piece of shit. @mayorbowser.bsky.social do you welcome this too?

I’m firmly of the belief that a wholesale adoption of electric vehicles would utterly revolutionize the small towns that got strangled out by the interstate system by re-introducing Americans to the concept of fucking stopping for an hour somewhere and spending time instead of 36 hour marathons

Like at best so far there’s the suggestion it *might* be happening in the data but it’s far too early to make broad conclusions
Josephus Brown (@josephusbrown.bsky.social) reply parent
No no I’m pointing out that even if you were going to make the argument there’s a solid chance it would lag at least a year because international trips aren’t the kind of thing you tend to plan on a whim or cancel suddenly

The flaw in everyone who makes a Bluesky bad post is that they come to the conclusion that making the site better involves importing people with centrist politics to talk politics when the actual truthful answer is that we need less politics and more goofs but that’s difficult when the world sucks

One thing about archivistry (archivism?) that I never thought about was something from an antiques roadshow- someone had like… circus tickets? And the expert said something like “there’s a class of things that are incredibly rare because they were once so common nobody bothered keeping them”

If we’re doing another round of “this website will die without me” remember that scientists, i.e. people that actually know things are all coming here. If the choice is between them and column guys, people who know nothing but are good at being annoying, it’s a pretty easy pick
Josephus Brown (@josephusbrown.bsky.social) reply parent
he uses “like a dog” constantly as an insult, even for things that dogs don’t do. No loyalty, no bravery, no kindness, no sweetness. When he calls someone a dog it’s because they cower and roll over. It’s very telling.

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

It’s at the Arbuckle mountains, where the highway bends as it goes over that pass. not really a town there, but it’s between Ardmore and Paul’s Valley, about halfway between OKC and the Texas border, right about where the Chickasaw Nation starts.

She got her in a hotel room from being homeless and living in her car and she forgot where she was and ended up across town panicking and calling the police about her missing car, her pets got left in the hotel room for like two days. Eventually her car got towed with the animals inside.
