It’s incredible and I wish I’d been able to go a second time.

It’s incredible and I wish I’d been able to go a second time.
Made it to the very last day of the Ruth Asawa retrospective. Good choice. If you're in the NYC area, it's headed to you next. MOMA from October 16.
Multiple normies at work asking about Linux. I think Copilot might go down as the worst move by a business that basically had mailbox money for life lol
He's showing him everyone's posts.
(with alt text) fuck me, I’m going to have to get back into Dawkins aren’t I. Damn you Paxton. I don’t want to read Dawkins again. Dude sucks ass.
In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago. These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer. This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.
The fact that he's talking about Baltimore when Baltimore *very famously* lowered their crime rate significantly under the current mayor...tells you everything you need to know. He's gonna come after Minneapolis when we elect a new mayor, folks.
Cosign. My recipe is very simple: be who you are, around other people who are being who they are, let relationships happen. It’s genuinely magic and we’ll miss it when it’s gone.
my bluesky bubble is just full of people who are pathological curious about the world, and so it's pretty awesome. if their bluesky bubble is something else, idk. skill issue, I guess.
I found my new favorite pens and pencils thanks to Bluesky. Social media (Twitter then, bsky now) has given me some of my favorite books, and I can learn about bird diseases, food history, and tricks to make life easier on a budget. There’s so much to learn and share here!
AI is a lack of consent machine and children are the one place that folks are always willing to say it’s okay that a person isn’t allowed to have interior thoughts
"bluesky is dying" that's cool man. i go on here to make funny posts with my friends
"Newsom is a Democrat and Trump is a Republican, and while both have been very vocal about each other’s differences, Jehl (R) and Myers (R) note in the letter that when it comes to homelessness strategy, their approaches to a solution are similar." www.wane.com/top-stories/...
This is how you get MORE teen suicides & not just bc they aren't getting the support they need if they're in crisis. This is also how you get more teenagers turning to ChatGPT for mental health support 🙃
Do you people not understand that every time you cast a vote for a bad democrat you’re co-signing their behavior and telling them they don’t have to change? You’re telling them it doesn’t matter how bad they get you’re gonna keep voting for them anyway? THIS IS NOT HOW YOU CREATE PROGRESS
I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, I’m like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.
Apparently Guillermo Del Toro has ruined Frankenstein by… being relatively faithful to the source material. Oh my.
I understand why releasing the Epstein files is so important. But what impact to we think it’ll have? Do we think any of these men will be punished or inconvenienced in any way? Rob Lowe has a job. Jared Leto has a job. Dane Cook has a job. Johnny Depp has a job. Jerry Seinfeld has a job.
"Can AI do THIS?" *collective meeting about making flying, fire-breathing, extra large octopus/dragon chimeras*
There are absolutely moments where you suck it up and vote against monstrous candidates by voting for candidates who suck less. That moment is not 3.5 years and an entire mid-term away from an election where there will definitely be a huge primary.
Trump rolling in 50 minutes late looking rough and his acolytes with fixed grins on their faces… not gonna dispel the Stalin jokes!
America heartbroken to discover president somehow still alive
am I to understand that President Trump scheduled a major press conference to announce that he was going to give Huntsville Alabama the nickname "Rocket City"?
Just over here thinking "octopuses but with wings and they breathe fire"
Huntsville, Alabama is where they put a lot of the NASA Nazis during Operation Paperclip.
Bluesky has killed the outrage marketer grift. When everyone was confined to one place, plausible deniability existed. One could have happened across a comment from a usual target. But to carry comments from Bluesky over to Twitter to enrage one's audience makes one look like a stalker or weirdo.
Men are allowed so much space to be self-centered that some of us really can't see how much weight we expect our partners to carry. "It's hard being a Black man." Absolutely. And not only do Black women have it hard TOO, but you expect them to give you grace you don't reciprocate.
The birth rate discourse makes me snark in Black Gen X… they criminalized Black parents (teen & single) back when we were growing up. Reagan literally made our reproduction a campaign issue! (Read Professor Dorothy E. Roberts’ work!) Many of us Black late 1970s babies had kids late or not at all… 🤷🏾♀️
I cannot begin to describe how little I give a fuck about moral high ground right now...
begun, the "this you?" wars have.
I had, in fact, missed this. Thank you!
For a very intense few seconds just now, I genuinely forgot how to spell “target.” The boycott is working!!!! HOLD THE LINE!!!
ICYMI: they added a search function to user profiles (FINALLY) We can now go to any user profile including our own and tap the three dots at the top right and select “search posts”
If the correct moral necessary response to Naziism is to eradicate it and its adherents AND this man has just been identified as an adherent of Naziism THEN, class- what is the correct response in this situation?
And the idea that the world is separated into "belief" and "non-belief"? Yeahhhh that's the least Jewish idea in the world, by the way. Judaism is the religion of the Jewish people. But Jews can, are, long have been atheists, agnostics, that's a thing. What matters to us is what you DO.
I have never seen a single news article about whether or not Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer or Kristen Gillibrand need to assure Muslim New Yorkers that they're against Islamophobia and anti-Arab / anti-Asian bigotry
That this is left out of a New York Times op Ed is egregious because it’s NOT THAT HARD TO LOOK UP AND FIND OUT. I have also already received mailers from Munger which I know because, and this is true, his name is on the mailer.
Holy crap, NYT let Charles Munger Jr. write an op-ed opposing the California redistricting without disclosing that he's FUNDING the opposition to the California redistricting. I have 4 mailers he paid for in my house right now and that's just the beginning. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/02/o...
What’s funny is this article was preceded by six months of “ok, white nationalism doesn’t make any sense, but there must be something in there that’s good for the economy.”
Good news about the cutting-edge AI tools from the $3-trillion-dollar company.
some scattered thoughts on the bluesky environment vs twitter: “we should compromise on the ability of trans people to exist” will get you yelled at here every time and frankly you deserve it it is, however, a lot easier for other centrist ideas to turn you into the main character than on twitter
You don’t say.
I didn't know about this particular person, I'm guessing most of the Jews who have been telling you didn't know about this particular person, and yet: We've been telling you.
"it's a horrible painful shot in the stomach and you have to get a bunch of them" is a small price to pay for NOT DYING OF RABIES but that hasn't been true for decades, it's just 2-4 regular jabs in the arm over a couple of weeks, get it if you are bitten by a feral cat or find a bat in your house.
The Crone Zone by @slackmistress.bsky.social (with illustrations by @pamwishbow.bsky.social) is out in the world today! Perfect for all the aspiring bog witches, swamp hags, and Baba Yagas in your life (and anyone trying to age under patriarchy). Featuring every crone pun I could think of
Also if you do author events for a Chicago-area bookseller please holler at me or Nina, I get the sense she’s having a hard time getting event support from her publisher just because they laid off all their junior marketing and publicity staff

Honestly it’s just the only thing all of us have any hope left for at this point.
Oh my god????? Someone in power finally said it??? And is taking action???? Now he needs to actively campaign for a youth.
It’s one of those songs that never fails to both make me cry, and also make me feel better.
I mean Taylor ,Nate et al are having a crisis , they used the racial reckoning to make themselves very very rich and then mocked the end of Twitter Again remember folks got awards for calling it a useless dumpster fire , then dropping every semblance or racial analysis … but here’s tea
Videos? lol that’s autocorrect going wild.
Yes! I’ve seen some videos f her work (there’s a piece in the free part of the deYoung that I think was also on the loan for this exhibit) but seeing all of it was more powerful than I expected. Truly wish I could skip out on all business obligations tomorrow to catch it one last time but alas.
"Blueskyism" helped make The Onion one of the largest newspapers in the world in less than a year. If we had spent all of our time on Twitter, we'd be poorer, dumber and terminally ill with internet poisoning. He's just angry he's wasting away over there in a nazi agnostic lane that doesn't exist.
the ruth asawa wire sculptures are really breathtaking in person, the photos just don’t do them justice
It’s one of my favorite exhibits I’ve ever seen. Wish I’d had time to go back for a second experience. Her work feels alive.
Boston is a union town.
And while I am yelling about shit will you motherfucking auto designers get rid of all the god damned tactile free buttons and touch screens and go back to knobs and switches you can operate without looking at them. It's horribly unsafe.
Yes, and doing all of it with alt text.
I let out several different audible “NO”s during this video incredible stuff, you gotta watch the whole thing
reading this felt like discovering one of those tribes of people who have had no contact with the outside world
Whether it’s Michelle Obama suggesting kids exercise instead of watching tv or RFK Jr. telling kids to drink raw milk instead of taking vaccines, both figures took a controversial approach to children’s health.
Brick-and-mortar, cotija*, gender bender, greenhouse gas, leisure suit, spaghetti squash, market capitalization *im going out on a limb and guessing that they mean first time in English language print because cotija must be older than 1975.
No one is "disregarding" this, it has been the subject of relentless coverage from media and politicians since 2020. Everyone knew school closures were going to be very hard on kids. The trade-off was that not closing them was going to result in mass death. No win-win scenario was on the table.
This is indicator that bluesky is actually a threat and not anywhere near dying lol.
Everything is so strange
“Ok, so I can’t make jewelry, but I’m great at disarming an alarm system and smashing glass cases”
Yup. They do this kind of shtick a lot.
Right? Like equating what she did (as First Lady! An unofficial advocate position and not a freakin cabinet member with power!) with what RFK jr is doing is just showing how unreliable the Atlantic is.
As a fellow whiter shade of pale person, same.
It's a classic of people forgetting *why* they are mad at something. The problem isn't machine learning algorithms that have existed for decades, it never was about that. The problem is a disrespect of intellectual property rights and lack of compensation/consent in those large-scale LLMs.
NYT Pitchbot is right. Because everything she was advocating for was rooted in science and was gently encouraged, not forced. That narrative of her “controlling” what people eat was a RW narrative rooted in racism and misogyny. Oh, and her plan didn’t involve defunding the NIH and CDC.
Ah, yes. I remember when Michelle Obama ravaged the NIH and CDC, killed off vital vaccine research and denied inoculations to millions for reasons of pure BS. I remember this because I have Pundit Memory™️, an exciting new product that makes you able to both-sides and whatabout anything!
Michelle Obama asked people to eat vegetables and take walks and she hasn’t been forgiven since. It’s wild.
Someone please kill me right now.
Did you know “Let’s Move!” was actually short for “Let’s move to ban mRNA vaccines and eliminate Medicaid?”
BREAKING: President Trump leaves the White House this morning
This is so funny to me as an *acadien*
All of Giuliani’s life events that I know about hit like season ending cliffhangers where you’re like ‘How’s he gonna get outta this one?’ People forget that Four Seasons Landscaping debacle was All Him, which is understandable because he also committed actual sexual harassment in a Borat movie.
I love the group adding benches at bus stops where the city failed to do so. I think I want to volunteer and help assemble and install more! SFBA Bench Collective When cities fail to provide benches we build and install our own. sfbabc.org
apple has tried “transparent material” THREE TIMES now the PREVIOUS TWO TIMES they had to walk it back bc HOW DO YOU FUCKIN READ can’t believe we have to face this shit AGAIN
People literally bled & died fighting against corporate interests, robber barons, corrupt local & state politicians, cops & hired killers, & the federal government & US military for better working conditions for the rest of us so reflect on that today for just a bit while you're doing whatever else.

Who's killing the journalists in Gaza?
I specifically wrote about how important it is to develop our own affirmative language about racial diversity by using a term that is extremely hard to demonize and has very positive connotations: Integration.
Creative writing prompt: Make a simple press statement about a car accident sound suspicious on at least three different levels.
As a friend recently put it: the venn diagram of people who assured us the gun violence was worth it because we need the guns to protect ourselves against a tyrannical federal government and the people cheering on Trump as he deploys the military to take over American cities is a circle
Wait. WAIT. So no frosting, but instead a delicious slice of guayaba? Or is there also frosting? Either way I’m in.
honest to god, when I turned on mandatory-alt-text, I was freaked out. I was sure I’d do it wrong. And I probably do, a lot of the time! But what it does do is put in into a ‘stream-of consciousness’ way of writing alt-text that is STILL better than nothing.
Richie Torres would call Patton a communist lmao he literally would
Big popular accounts add alt text to you screenshots challenge (impossible).
I’m noticing the rate of alt text has gone down as this site grows. Alt text being expected is one way this site is better than Twitter was, because this community wants everyone to be able to groan at the screen cap from a piece by the awful pundit and appreciate our cat photos. Include everyone.
