❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Literal rage bait. True Detective got a “Season 1” qualifier but Game of Thrones gets a full season pass. Pointless.

I’m just so tired.

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

Better never than late is my motto. If there’s any chance I’ll be late for something then I’m not going. Even if it’s due things outside of my control, acts of god or unforseeable circumstances. It’s just not worth the chance of disrespecting my gracious hosts.

Saxophone melted down into a lump of brass, placed in a circle of salt next to a sprig of smoldering juniper but the saxophone keeps getting louder.

Petition to have a different Apple Messages chat bubble color for the iPhone Duo so we can once again be reminded who our betters are.

I honestly didn’t expect to find myself in a position where I’d have to do this but I’m withdrawing my eligibility for one of the 38. A rising tide lifts all boats and by helping a lesser known account receive the recognition it no doubt deserves we make Bluesky a better place for everyone.

Who are the 38 most influential Bluesky posters of 2026? You get 10 votes, anyone with a Bluesky account can be voted for. The 38 with the most votes make the list. 🗳️ Voting ends the 21st night of September. 🌎 🌬️🔥 Cast your ballot: bsky38.com

They only care when it happens to them personally. Other people having their own personhood doesn’t exist as a concept. May as well talk to the wall.

No fucking shit buddy. This is what we were trying to tell you.

When Maximus Cupheadius donated his body to medical science the ramifications could not have been foreseen.

Any Alan Wake fans around? I just played through AW2 for the first time and it was straight up one of the best games I’ve played in ages.

Pleased to announce my new lawn destruction service, targeting lawn care influencers. I’ll discretely damage your perfect lawn in minor but highly visible ways so you’ll have a whole next season’s worth of content. Prices start at shout outs and exposure, tiered on your total combined followers.

Packages include “dry-spot dilemma”, “wild grass invasion”, “sewer-rage” and “molepocalypse”. Custom packages available on request.

The Dems are finally tackling the pressing issues of the day. This guy is running on not stealing your pen. 🙄

James Talarico@jamestalarico.bsky.social

Ken Paxton stole someone’s $1,000 pen. He’ll steal your tax dollars. He’ll steal your healthcare. He’ll even steal your pen. I'll be a Senator who puts money in your pocket — and I’ll never put your pen in mine.

After an Elder Scrolls update, a mistyped tweet from Xbox CEO Asha Sharma had many Xbox fans confirming that the company had never been so back. paletteswap.site/dif...

Aside from Sekiro, which was genuinely brilliant, I only play FromSoftware games as a personal skill check. Otherwise I think they are mid at best.

No hate, no dogpiling, just curious. For me, it's Skyrim. Don't know why, considering it should be exactly my kind of game, but it just didn't click for me.

I’m vocally critical of elected dems lining up on social media, talking at us like we’re five years old, telling us we should be outraged about one thing or another. No shit, Sherlock. Attorney General Nessel here on the other hand shows up to announce specific action. This is more like it.

Dana Nessel@dananessel.bsky.social

My office is taking the Michigan Public Service Commission to court for rushing approval of the Saline data center project. The MPSC should work for the people, not utility companies and tech giants.

A direct line being drawn from a reduction in funding for food benefits for the lowest earners to grocery stores closing is absolutely shocking. Grocery execs looking for a “bailout” means the people who actually need it the most get surgically removed from the benefits chain.

Kids these days will never understand how big Flickr was in 1977.

The thing about wildfires is no matter where they are and no matter where I am the wind is always blowing in my direction and the only thing I can do about it is get out my kite so the wind dies down.

Name a more iconic duo than a Democrat saying something should be happening and nothing happening. I’ll wait.

Apple got a $2.2 billion tariff refund. Amazon got $600 million. Trump is sending the "refunds" to the companies, not working people. Every single cent of these refunds should go back to American consumers.

My favorite genre of post-World Cup internet is retired footballers talking about how a lesser known player from their generation was actually the best, most underrated player in the world.

I, for one, have no objection to the Nestlé-FIFA World Cup, in association with SpaceX. I want to see someone dethrone the Banco Santander Reds and I think the Tesco Whites probably have a shot. The Guinness Greens need to bloody qualify next time though, seriously! #FIFA #UEFA #WorldCup

Wrong and misguided. Infantino is trying to unite the brands we love with the sport we love. It’s win-win for FIFA and the corporate sponsors that provide funding to take football to even greater heights Plus the quarters are so long we have time to learn about new products that are available to us

Rob Jacques@knutcrosswords.bsky.social

UEFA spokesperson Dietmar Fumm said to reporters "This decision effectively signals that Gianni Infantino is an enemy of world football". tl;dr: FIFA "foe" - Fumm

I’m currently in a YouTube Shorts rabbit hole where every scene in every movie is supposedly unscripted. The opening scene to the Matrix where Trinity runs up the wall? That was unscripted. The police officers reaction was genuine and the Wachowskis decided to make it a core part of the series.

In James Cameron’s Titanic, the ship was supposed to reach its destination as planned but a mechanical issue en-route had them pivot to the iceberg storyline, changing the trajectory of Celine Dion’s career forever.

No joke, I just learned that the legendary on-screen enmity between Russel Crowe and Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator did not extend off-screen. Seeing Joaquin on set one day with some cutlery in his hand a panicked Director Ridley Scott was relieved to discover that Russel Crowe had not been stabbed.

The Fast and the Furious 12 confirmed. It’ll be a return to the series roots in the style of the original and Tokyo Drift, about a young garda infiltrating and seizing NOS off a crowd of street racers but it all goes to shit when Anto’s sister makes him a chicken fillet roll.

Ever wonder if the channels and accounts you actually enjoy are just mid-tier garbage you happened to engage with to escape the dregs, and the algorithm is one lucky click away from showing you the good stuff?
