#project2029 Regulate what can and can’t be considered “news” for false and single-source info. All news outlets have to buy licenses from a US bureau to get on TV and to get on any kind of app store (roku, iphone, fire stick, etc) on US devices. License money pays for validity audits.

If there’s an Ohm’s Law, where are all the Ohm’s Lawyers??

Where’s the bodycam footage?? … Aw fuck, it IS a gestapo. No bodycams, no goddamn peace.

Why is all of society so vehemently against room-temperature beverages? Could I just get some caffeine without burning my mouth or getting my hands all clammy? Thank you

I just found out we used to eat salads like the leaves were little tortillas, to wrap other foods and dip them in sauces. We only started making our own lives harder when rich people started using salad forks. Please can we go back to eating salads normally, I can’t deal with these leaf shapes 😫

You vote to make your voice heard. I vote to explore random semi-public buildings. We are not the same.

It would be cool if the AI bubble pop happens in 2029, exactly 100 years after the great stock market bubble pop in 1929. Not great, but kinda cool nonetheless. Our great-grandkids in 2128 would be very freaked out.

My dream office atmosphere is an empty table in a nice train, watching the world go by and surrounded by the rhythmic hum of the train tracks. 😩👌 @wework.bsky.social can you get on this? I’ll also accept a nice bus. 🙏

PSA: It’s not free for groups to list their meetings on Meetups. It’s allegedly $30/month. You have to pay to build a community. How fucked is that??

Why do we still use robotic “press 9” menus. Just put that shit on the website as an option for what phone number to click on. Like… we *have* the technology. The fuck are we stewing in agony for.

Did Europeans only end up with Sofas because of big boots needed for cold weather? Equatorial cultures seem to always have cushions with mats, low stools, etc. I wonder if warm weather is the common denominator, and boots/cold is the force that drove us up off the floor.

Turn off your Amazon Alexa, Siri, Hey Google, etc. in case you say anything someone doesn’t like.

We should put PBS, CSPAN, etc. on all streaming platforms (Netflix etc.). Make it just as ‘available’ as it was before streaming. Put it back on the ‘menu’ next to all the other shows, like it used to be with Cable. Give people the option to connect with their local community & government.

After Excel, MS Teams is the best reason to get MS Office. Yes, it’s awkward like a teenager sometimes, but damn does it keep getting better and better. adoption.microsoft.com/en-us/micros...

There may be limitations to how LLM “thinking” works without inventing new words for different logical thought processes. The 1900s philosophers of languages would concur, I think.

My love language is memes

Wait, so trees are like… evaporative heat-sinks for the ground?? 🌏🌱 Are we not worried about the groundwater getting brought up through the trees and evaporated out of the leaves?

#project2029 No more winner-takes-all electoral votes. This is bullsh*t that takes advantage of the populations in each state, and is the very definition of tyranny by majority. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_...

Having someone explain something to you is such an underrated way to bond. It sucks that you don’t ask other people simple questions anymore, since you can just google everything. You wouldn’t want to be rude and make someone think you’re too dumb or lazy to look it up on your own.

No deal for Ghislaine Maxwell — she won’t say a true word the whole deposition. Giving her a deal will be bartering away her victims’ justice when we can still look at bank records.

#Project2029 Statute of limitations on sex crimes should not exist. Getting away with crimes against kids for 7 years shouldn’t mean you get to be let off the hook.

If laptops are so prone to overheating, and fingers are so prone to freezing up when typing in the cold, then why don’t we have laptops that blow the fan air onto our keyboard?? 😭

It’s wild how profitable Web Apps are, when all of the code and reverse engineering tools are right there for the taking. It kind of defies logic, almost.

British Airways’ customer service answering machine is so bad it makes me want to start finding British stuff to dump into the harbor. It’ll tell you to say out loud what you need, frantically assert you can find your answer on its website, and hang up on you. Ffs, imperialism and now THIS??? 😂

How is nobody talking about how BTC is at an all-time high of $116k?!?

This is why women shouldn’t have kids in the US. Until women are prioritized over babies, we will be ignored during surgery and treated like a piece of meat. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

People don’t understand — Southerners have a top-secret, highly specialized “unsweetening” technology that can remove sugar from already-sweet tea. That’s why they call it “unsweet tea.” We don’t unsweeten other foods and beverages, because - why would we?

No more MLMs. #Project2029 It should be illegal to take commission off of your “downline.”

It’s a great time of year to visit lovely Kerrville, for folks who want to escape the heat of Epstein allegations.

Could someone please tell me what a “straight lifestyle” is

FYI there’s a layoff data aggregator at warntracker.com. Apparently it’s a well-known thing, but I had no idea!! S/o to @cl-brown.bsky.social for showing me this!!

One time as a kid I wanted a macbook so bad, my dad told me to write up a “proposal” as a way to get me to shut up about it. Ngl, it was a genius parenting move. I got experience making a presentation and arguing my case, and he got peace and quiet before having to shell out for his snot-nosed kid 🥸

Man, too many people take a back seat in their free time and let algorithms drive what they’re getting up to. Friendly reminder to check in on people (or activities) that matter to you!

How come we never built windshield sun shades into the hoods of cars? This seems like a no-brainer. Big Sun Shade??

Anyone who grew up with Barbies as a kid knows that Barbie’s a little gay when there’s no Ken around.
