@laramondae.bsky.social Hello! Any chance you might consider playing Peter Gabriel's new stuff? The latest track, "Who Are We Talking To", sounds like it would fit the xrt playlist really well (though I do realize it's a bit long, almost 5 minutes). Anyway keep up the great work!

Still bothers me that "Picard" was such a bad show. How did that happen? It could have been so great.

@seanmcarroll.bsky.social Love the podcast. Am I right that the intro music, specifically the keyboard part, is different every time? The notes are the same but the rhythm and sound quality seem slightly different each time. Or am I imagining things? Thanks and keep up the great work.

This tiny fix solves a problem you never realized you had, and once you see it, it makes perfect sense.

Finally found @fxn.bsky.social and @robbyonrails.com and @rmrubyconf.bsky.social on this network. This network might work out after all. I think the UI, it's a matter now of re-creating my community and hopefully discovering some new people along the way.

The administration's budget request would cut research funding for the National Science Foundation and the Environmental Protection Agency by more than 50%. It's hard to imagine an external enemy causing more long-term damage to this country. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws. You know, like a democracy.

Boooo

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

They must expect a lot of people all over the country to be really upset about something next year. I wonder what that could be?

If we had any other president, we'd be hearing a lot about how we're going to help Jamaica. It doesn't even cross their minds.

Trump’s enablers in govt/media honestly think of him as a ranty old gasbag, so they don’t treat authoritarian pronouncements like this seriously. They should! Have they learned nothing?
