Excited to finally have this project up and running! I wanted a way to actually track how I'm doing over time with Wordle/other games, and compare that with friends, and thus Scordleizer was born. Check it out!

Sir Pumpikin Pumpernickel the III is ready for whatever Halloween quests may come! With 3D printed chainmail void for protection

lmfao

Spotted the Apple Park Visitor Center's iPhone Duo display going up just now with @lbenmore.bsky.social ! Wonder how early people are going to line up for this

holy shit this guy rocks and maybe is the patron saint of Operations

an outdated system in a salmon farm using PHP was found to have been breached, allowing the attackers to perform remote cod execution

This is an ad from The Onion, right? This can't be real...oh god.

Today is gonna be a busy day, isn't it... xkcd.com/3314/

One of the scariest things to me about social media fragmentation is that when someone starts talking about politics, policy or society in general, I can immediately tell if they hang out on X, even if we generally agree on things. It has such a unique signature in how it warps thinking.

So we are warring with Iran And Russia is supplying weaponry to Iran. And we are paying Russia to send us diesel fuel. Because we are warring with Iran the ships with the diesel can't get to us. So we are buying it from Russia, which... Yeah, this is some three-dimensional chess right here.

We do not have a serious economy in this country, we have an ongoing series of expensive brazen insults to all the hard-working people who *actually make things* despite the incompetent whims of mediocre upfailing assclowns like this guy. No greater lie than the meritocracy.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

i was fortunate enough to profile Margaret Hamilton in 2019. A really kind and curious person. This was my favorite story she told me:

on my puter 🐟

i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

It's honestly incredibly funny how a 3 page long word document that outlines the rules for a HOI4 RP session is better at conveying Hirohito's culpability than multi-hundred page long scholarly monographs about Hirohito's life

In related news, I'll be starting the Medlock sportsbook. Every line is even money, no vig, max bet $580, both sides mandatory, one visit per six months. It's time to gamble our way to Medicaid for All.

Ahhh a Corgi! Sorry unicorn, I think I'm gonna have a new Questie :3

hi you better not have this enabled around me or we are no longer friends.

TOUCH ID! Dammit Apple, why can't we have this on the other iPhones???

John Ternus coming in hot with a One More Thing! :D

Antifa is a philosophy, not an organization. But if it had headquarters, it'd be Arlington National cemetery. There are 400K anti-fascists there.

>Yeah JK Rowling sucks, but This phrase is not a phrase of honor... no highly esteemed argument is made here... nothing valued is said here.

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

I've just deleted Google Maps off my phone and replaced it with MapQuest (remember them?)--MapQuest isn't giving in to this insanity from our Presidential administration. Good riddance, Google Maps--you've been getting worse and worse for a while now. apnews.com/article/lake...

And I'll say it now: more kids have grown up as readers thanks to Dolly than any amount of Harry fucking Potter.

Welp, today I'm 39, so I guess I'm no longer the canonical 38-year-old on Bluesky. Do I have to delete my account now? :p

This parallels something I've been thinking about men who are into "looksmaxxing:" They say they do it to get women, but ugly guys get gfs all the time. What the looksmaxxers want is to be SO hot that they can get women _easily_, without putting forth effort, care, or consideration.

*headdesk*

jeebus, hadn't thought about it like that but yeah

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

Many such cases

Seriously, it'll look WAY better. Get that punk vibe going. Don't give in to the slop!

OMG the cuteness! We're rooting for you, Fenrir!

I don't say this as often as I used to, so let's get it out there one more time: your new Tesla makes me vsicerally angry. It wasn't a good deal, and it's not the best EV you can buy, you're just as stupid and poorly-informed as you are amoral. I hope bad things happen to it and you.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains.

I have previously written about one reason that billionaires find the AI story so compelling: at root, many billionaires just don't believe most other people are actually, fully real. How could they? Achieving billionairehood requires that you inflict pain on vast numbers of people. 13/

Apologies if I sound angry, but it is a real problem that the 'smart' commentary on this war is trying hard to avoid the core lesson ("the president is a fucking moron") because it doesn't sound very clever when it is absolutely the most important takeaway from this debacle.

Weird Al: still the coolest guy with the most integrity in showbiz! ❤️

News outlets that covered the US-Saudi nuclear deal without mentioning that Jared Kushner, Trump’s top foreign policy advisor, is getting paid by the Saudi government: WSJ NYT AP Reuters CNN NBC ABC CBS The Guardian Semafor Washington Post Fox News New York Post BBC Newsweek MS NOW

No matter how many times it's proven to be ineffective, somehow the myth of strategic bombing as an effective tactic of war lurches on. I don't get it. This is a really good point here, and something that *could* be shown very effectively in a game.

hey does anyone know where i can read a profile of some dumb asshole that fell for a reality show hosts bull shit and it took a decade for them to realize theyd been duped? oh every day in every major publication? awesome thanks
