After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

Been thinking about this a lot (not tagging the sender, for their privacy). Most of us won't have the chance for for grand, capital-R Resistance heroics. But every one of us will have a thousand small choices to make about how to live our lives and where to draw lines. Use them well.

FML #3 is so wonderful. I love these characters, I love the emotion in the story, I love the art, all of it. If you’re not reading it already do yourself a solid and start from issue #1. Thank you to the whole team that brings this to life! #FMLcomix

Haven’t seen enough talk about Alien Clay by @aptshadow.bsky.social so, let’s talk. ✔️ Limits of academic dissent ✔️ Trademark themes re: empathy as a biological imperative ✔️ Nuanced ecological speculation in a thoroughly alien biome ✔️ Superb audiobook performance ✔️ A 2024 fave #booksky

Hummingbirds are beautiful, sprightly, and absolute bastards who will not hesitate to dive bomb your eyeball if you’re not hanging their feeder quickly enough.

🎵 By the time we got to Woodstock We were halfway high And we hadn't bathed in days But honestly, we were kinda ripe to start with We are stardust

The demise of the #StarWars Galactic Starcruiser is not a surprise for a myriad of reasons, but certainly far swifter than I think anyone anticipated. I feel for the under-appreciated castmembers who poured their hearts into making the experience the best it could be.

🎵 Mama, just killed a man… 🎵 Oh mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law…  Mama, I may have too much faith in your ability to fix things

100% accurate classic rock lyric: 🎵 I am the Eggman. They are the Eggmen. Yo soy el hombre huevo. Ellos son los hombres huevo. ("Spanish While you Sleep" continues on Side 2)

In an effort to keep Bluesky chill, I present as a public service the first of my 100% accurate Classic Rock Lyrics. I’m pretty sure that’s how this song goes. 🎵 Brandy, You're a fine girl. What a good wife You would be. Would you be open To a three-way With the Sea?

I see that people are quickly aware of new signups, but I don’t see an area of the Bluesky app that shows a raw timeline, event stream, etc. Am I missing something in the UI, or are folks using an external site/API?

OK, so it’s called “skeeting” not “tweeting”, and “federation” not “locking your profile data to a platform owned by an alt-troll edgelord for sketchy monetezation.” I can remember that.

You are up to date.
