Government censorship comes to Bluesky, but not its third-party apps ... yet | TechCrunch
Government censorship has found its way to Bluesky, but there's currently a loophole thanks to how the social network is structured.Earlier this

It's not THAT difficult, writers! Just acknowledge that James Bond is a reassigned name, like 007 is a reassigned number (which has been canon). George Lazenby's "other fella" line established reassigned name canon 56 YEARS AGO. radaronline.com/p/james-bond... www.facebook.com/share/r/1EuH...

Once saw somebody answer "what did Watson and Crick discover?" with "Rosalind Franklin's notes," that's always been a favorite of mine.

Dick Cheney died yesterday. He was the real 43rd president of the United States, if you believe the unauthorized 2018 biopic "Vice" (and I do). He won't get an "RIP and Godspeed" from me. Not that I think he would care. youtu.be/6E-v5yDBR64

The movie "To Live and Die in L.A." was released 40 years ago today, and includes the second-to-last great movie car chase scene made WITHOUT CGI and other such special effects. (The 1998 film "Ronin" had the last such great scene.) Understandable NSFW language in the link. youtu.be/VOK9QW21VPo

We used to watch college football and NFL games on the only three channels we had. Of course, one-third of U.S. children died that one Halloween because a mass-murder commercial disguised as a "big giveaway" didn't get stopped on the third channel in time. But there had to be a tradeoff! #YouTubeTV

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

I never gossip. Except to save a soul. Or a conversation. So you won't catch me repeating the rumors about JD Vance and Erika Kirk.

One hour before Halloween, #YouTubeTV kicked off trick-or-treating early. With a trick.
Besides your local ABC station, all Disney-branded channels, and all ESPN-branded channels, you also lost all FX-branded channels, all National Geographic-branded channels, and Freeform.

WaPo still talking about Biden's mental fitness while King Dribble Cup is being led around by the hand in Japan.
A former adviser to President Biden told investigators he was set to receive a $4 million bonus if Biden had won reelection — a payment House Republicans say incentivized him to downplay what they described as the president’s declining mental fitness.
Biden adviser says he would have received $4 million bonus for 2024 win
Mike Donilon’s total potential pay package was unusually large and outsized compared to the salaries of senior campaign officials working for the president’s reelection.

This Sam Adams beer is so strong that it's illegal in 15 states
Samuel Adams just brewed a 30% ABV beer, calling the Utopias edition a "milestone." But not everyone will get a taste of it.

Someone who isn't going to suffer the loss of SNAP benefits for families and children on November 1st thanks to the #TrumpShutdown thinks others suffering it is a good idea. They should try it themselves first. Most, like President Manbaby, look like they could stand to miss a meal or three anyway.

In my day at my alma mater, we #Gamecocks protested:
° Proposed tuition hikes
° The university president
° President Reagan
° Apartheid in South Africa
° The university not divesting from companies doing business in South Africa
We did not protest the football team's offensive coordinator.
