A 2025 media thread! For me mostly, but you're welcome to come along!

@kohler.bsky.social hey! Are you going to be at CAX on Aug 8/9?

FINISHED! should i take preorder?

Ah yes, the "Thdpsssps"

Imagine if a woman president crashed the economy and started a war with no end in sight, and her biggest, seemingly ONLY concern was building a ballroom and redecorating the White House.

if you're feeling down about genAI please remember that it is a) intensely unpopular b) immensely unprofitable c) being propped up by people who NEED it to succeed, will spend any amount to create an illusion of a win but still keep failing and leaving the people they work with caked in shit

Very useful. Thank you, healthcare company app. I’ll get right on that.

Getting AI to read to your kids is crazy. Don’t you want to do the voices???

I think before you build an Arc de Triomphe you should be able to identify at least un (1) triomphe

wow now that is an app icon

This is Daisy. She helped her human make the bed today. Through moral support. 13/10 (IG: daisyneverhelps)

This one is dedicated to @stuartgipp.bsky.social

glad i bought new ram before the shortage

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Let's start a campaign to add the tag "Arcade Puzzle" to games like Tetris, Lumines, Puyo Puyo, Petal Crash, etc on Steam. These games get lumped in with great but completely different genres of puzzle games like Portal and sadly sidelined. Steam users have the power to carve out this niche!

I’ll take it!

daily routine

Y’all might not appreciate it, but it took him 87 moves and 14 hours to get here

Well, now I have something new to shout when startled.

Is it even Christmas if you’re not reading Dickens, eating cup noodles, and drinking Mountain Dew Zero?

The President of Argentina is doing the Trump dance at Mar-a-Lago after getting a 40 billion dollar bailout but MAGA is mad at a single mom using SNAP to buy cupcakes for her kids.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

Someone at work today literally said we can't ignore ai tech and that all employers say they are using it and that we need to be able to have that skillset. How does this line up? I feel insane. It's bad at and for everything. How is it so "crucial"?

Nobody wins an 18-inning game of baseball. An 18-inning game of baseball is only ended

Now, I have work I need to go do, but my coffee buddy isn’t really having that… #catsofbluesky

The AI bubble will burst. The techbros will hire people to write think pieces about why thats bad ( because it costs too much to run their stupid ai) but you. You'll still be an artist :)

Can’t wait to totally mess up my sleep for no reason this Sunday at 2am.

A moth got into the shelter tonight and it was the event of the season.

The staff and customers at this Starbucks joining in singing with "Ghostbusters" playing on the coffee shop background music is lifting me up today. :)

I think it might be time to ditch @kotakudotcom.bsky.social The constant stream of deal/sale posts are so obnoxious. Not their existence but the constant repeated ohrases “for Pennie’s” “giving away” “almost free” … on things that are like $90.

Thank you @davidpierce.xyz and @reckless.bsky.social and the whole crew at @theverge.com! I’ve been waiting for this for so long (and, yes, mine is a newly minted subscription because of this addition!)

A large part of my morning has been spent fighting with the computer when it’s trying to be helpful but it’s not at all and I have to dig around to figure out how to make it stop. I almost miss the quaintness of Clippy. At least he was easily closed.

I rarely ever use Lyft, but I see that they have an option to schedule a ride to be able to bring your pet with. Where is the option for the driver to bring their pet with so you can meet a cute dog on your ride??

I said 6-7 out loud to see if it has reached my house, and now my kid is constantly saying it and has told me everything about the origin of the meme.

your email finds me deeply unwell. teetering on the edge really

the year is 2025. the vice president of the United States is telling critics of Adolf Hitler to “grow up.”

masterful move to make me stop using a site i've been mindlessly calling up whenever i want to know something for twenty years, sirs
