Going to get my hold on enshittification tonight ☺️ 💩

The pickle booty on this one though ☠️

"Vance" is a useful new verb in the English language, and one consistent with our Latinate heritage. Compare: ➡️ ADVANCE: To move something forward. ⬅️ VANCE: To cause a situation to decline or devolve. In a sentence: "Donald Trump's second term vanced the American economy."

Just finished The Lost Cause by @doctorow.pluralistic.net This book, coupled with a recent viewing of Project Hail Mary, has me feeling hopeful for the first time in months (years?) Maybe humanity will survive this moment—and the surely difficult decades to come—after all 👼

📝 note to self: don’t go back in time and tell your younger self that you’d be willing to accept a mike pence ticket at this point (my god, how far have i fallen?)

I think I’m finally getting close to hitting a bullseye

Is Bluesky the town square we’ve been looking for?

“We want the experience [on SkySpaces] for content creators to be seamless. Empowering them with all of the necessary tools and features”said @geeken.tv. More on our interview with The Verge here: https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/9/23717476/live-audio-is-getting-another-go-on-bluesky

Hear me out: A modern remake of Cable Guy but it’s Internet Guy. Shia LaBeouf as Jim Carey Pete Davidson as Matthew Broderick Best part? They still go to Medieval Times.

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! I was asked if I was "rocking with anti-racism" so here's the scoop: racism is a scourge on society! It's up to us to actively fight against racism in all of its forms - by fighting the clear villains, but also our *own* unconscious biases in ways big and small!

…is hellthread over?

sup @npr.bsky.social

@elonmusky.bsky.social 🤭

…how does hellthread end? 🤔

like if you’re a dank rare pepe

Incredible

Can anyone tell me why pharmaceuticals have such dumb names?

I wonder if invite heritage could be used to better individualize our first steps onto a new platform. 🤔

You know… Someone somewhere has reached over to grab their phone while laying outside only to have their hand immediately pooped on, which amazingly would block you from a life of having a poop phone. Thankfully, that someone has not been me today (at least not yet).

It’s a dandelion kinda day

Hellthread has me replying on nothing more than gut feeling to notis on Twitter now too

i’m more like a priestess going around spreading the gospel of decentralization by setting up a nice city-state and convincing people who move here to set up their own. the key to them not turning into awful empires again is we’ll have passports and property rights that let us move between them!

PSA there’s a bug that breaks very long threads. it won’t load, but people can still reply and it’ll show up in notifications. and it can’t be muted because the thread is broken. we call this a hellthread. it’ll get fixed at some point, but for now, just don’t reply to the thread to stay out

We are posters without borders, our purpose defined by the era we live in...If the times demand it, we'll be revolutionaries, criminals, terrorists. And yes, we may all be headed straight to hell. But what better place for us than this? It's our only home. Our heaven and our hell. This is BlueSky.

apparently muting the hellthread doesnt work? technically that's a bug but it's hilarious so

As a private in the Banger Patrol (fka Reply Guys), I only know of two tools. Replies. And this.

More often than I like to admit, I come crawling back to this supercut of Seinfeld scene transitions https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GP59b11HRTA

someone needs to take @stickstickly.bsky.social and resurrect this guy as a top tier meme lord

Twitter = work Bluesky = leisure

I motion to leave our GMs at the door and say “good morning” like a normie instead

Midwestern bees let out an “ope” instead
