the post is extremely mid bitching about getting "only" 149 likes on it is fucking crazy work
A tale of three apps. Identical post sent at the same time:

Twitter: 136,000 likes, 20,000 shares

Threads: 46,000 likes, 4,000 ahares

Bluesky: 149 likes, 45 shares

To be clear, I have 60k followers on Twitter, 15k on Bluesky, but only 7k on Threads.

I love Bluesky, but this isn't sustainable.

It's like interviewing Saul on the road to Damascus and by the end he's asking you to call him Paul.
🚨"This is nuts! What the f*ck is going on, this is insane! ICE is just trying to scare people; they tell you it's only immigrants—it's f*cking anybody!" -furious Minneapolis resident tells our @zdroberts.bsky.social after ICE shot a man in the leg tonight. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Americans and their immigrant brothers and sisters in ICE-afflicted cities have now forced the crisis Democrats have shrunk from and elected Democrats need to lead or get out of the way, not read a them rulebook.
The First Amendment protects the public’s right to:

1. Film ICE in public

2. Photograph ICE in public

3. Observe what ICE does in public

ICE and DHS officials cannot lay a finger on any American who is peacefully exercising First Amendment rights.

I went to SUNY Purchase which in the 90s was a brutalist cluster of buildings surrounded by hundreds of acres of woods and meadows. My son goes to SUNY Purchase and now a big chunk of those empty acres is a retirement development tiered from age-restricted townhouses to assisted living.
Costco retirement communities, whenever they get around to it, are going to remake this country and possibly several others
Costco is co-locating housing above a new store in South LA, 800 units.

Unbelievable that we've been building malls & big box stores for, what, sixty years, and never figured this out

for no reason this reminded me of a night when an assistant editor was sitting next to me ordering clients dinner from a Mexican place and halfway through the order the woman at the restaurant refused to proceed until he learned to say aguacate. it was devilish.

I'm not sure what happens on the alternate timeline where Biden gives them two hours early in his term and then calls Maggie Haberman twice a week to bitch about perfidious Democrats in the house who might need primarying but maybe some attention would have brought them onside. Infuriating.

As sifl and olly taught us years ago, #3 is a natural part of a man's cycle and nothing to be ashamed of.
the Grinch only goes number three, but refuses to elaborate on that
Just because the grinch has a toilet doesn’t mean he’s using it and that’s what the question is about. He could have it for any number of reasons, guests, social pressure etc

You sure you don't want to focus on affordability you eating salad with a comb payasa?
My team is gathering information about the ICE-related shooting this morning in Minneapolis.

I’ll share updates as they are available. Please stay safe.

Went looking for smalls in a box I hadn't opened in a while and found a whole pile of years. And fairy lights.

I am struggling with what might be a generational experience. The gulf war was pretty politically formative for me. It’s not history so much as memory this time.

It is destabilizing to see almost the exact same gameplan but this time without the guardrails that at the time I took for granted.

We have a whole-ass business casual clothing chain that got its start selling juntawear which is literally named after our practice of doing this shit on the regular so yes extremely ashamed and full of sorrow but no, not surprised.

One of the weird little things my day job makes me think is "this really is a golden age for particle generation" and yes I finally am finally watching "Foundation."

I often think of Russell's reply to Moseley when confronted with this sort of tomfoolery.

"I feel obliged to say that the emotional universes we inhabit are so distinct, and in deepest ways opposed, that nothing fruitful or sincere could ever emerge from association between us."

Civility itself.

I believe this is a knock-on effect of Sec 230. I know it's a crucial underpinning of the status quo, but as practiced, for platforms it's also a get out of jail free card. Even when it's their own tools these crimes become the sole acts of users; it's the guns industry structure of accountability.
so x dot com’s ai generated CSAM and they admitted it may violate US law and … i haven’t seen in anyone in power say much at all or call to stop using the platform

I spent 4 hours learning a new board game the other night in a mixed age group and it would have been closer to 3 but a couple in their late 20s spent 45m excoriating a 21 year old college student over using ai. Idk if anyone had ever talked to him about it before. They love but were v tough on him.
Slowly realizing even my political friends who say they hate AI are using it to speed up tasks like email writing, formatting grant applications etc

WAT?

Seriously?!?!?

Plant genetics and botany is soooo cool.
The modern-day potato came to be from the natural interbreeding between wild tomatoes and a potato-like species from South America about 9 million years ago. www.cell.com/news-do/pr-p...

Wonderful Christmastime might not be for you, but it is for me and here's some of why.
Every year, Christmas music is played, starting in commercial settings well before thanksgiving and so ever year, there is....
"Wonderful Christmastime" discourse.

I'm a fan of the song, because I was very young when it came out and also because I think it's kinda fun.

Lots of people are not.
