impressive experimental design for testing how many people will comment on a link without clicking it
Wow: after 15 years, YouTube has taken down the original 'Rick Roll' video due to a "licensing issue," likely due to the acquisition of Astley's record lable.

The metadata remains, but if you click through it goes to 'video not found':

He's going to drop all of these tariffs in a couple months, and then he's going to declare victory and trumpet the fact that the DOW went up 1000 points, and I literally fucking beg the media not to just print that as news without context both in headlines and column inches

Yes, you are on a watchlist. Yes, you are in a databank. We all are. Yes, it’s a risk. No, silence won’t save you.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

Let the young people in your life know that Costco has generic planb for $5.99.

You don’t need a membership to go to the pharmacy there.

You don’t need a store discount card, ever, because someone has always, always registered [local area code]-867-5309. I have tested this in 12 states at 40+ stores and it never fails.

the answer to a question in a headline is always "no", but never has the answer to a question in a headline been MORE "no" than how much "no" it is here

Sigh. It wasn’t a nonevent BUT we took it seriously. It was a nonevent BECAUSE we took it seriously. Same dangerous attitude I’ve seen about ozone layer deterioration: if a major campaign of concerted action averted the problem, it must have been a fake problem. Not the correct lesson to draw!
Yes, the Y2K software problem turned out to be a nonevent. But 25 years ago, The New York Times took it seriously, publishing over 100 stories.

Our tech reporter who wrote a front-page article on Jan. 1, 2000, reflects on the crisis that never was.

Bluesky has gotten LOUD! That's not a bad thing, but I've been here a year and a half and I'm getting used to the changes.

Here's a feed I love. It finds the quieter posters from your follows to display only.

These are often your friends or deliberate follows. Give it a try!

If you haven't gotten your Tdap (tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis) in the last 10 years, get updated! Pertussis can be deadly for infants but even in adults, it can lead to months of poor sleep from coughing and even broken ribs from the intensity of the cough. Protect yourself and others!
