As a kid raised in the church..? Shit is complicated for me. But the song “Total Praise”? I automatically start singing along and I feel emotionally full due to it. Even when I’ve been so far removed from the church.. that song makes me feel.
Richard Smallwood, a gospel giant and songwriter known for classics like “Center of My Joy” and “Total Praise,” has died. He was 77

Yeah. I’m an American and I don’t blame anyone who comes to that conclusion. Whenever this regime is gone, it’s shown that too many people felt comfortable in being their worst selves. So…I get it.
Talking with people at a holiday gathering here in Toronto last night, and when it came up, most of us nodded that we likely won’t ever visit the United States again.
It’s a weird feeling, and weird to acknowledge in a group.

Let's see..I remember one lady got mad when I had the nerve to mention that liberals shouldn't abandon red states. I mentioned that there are left leaning people in those states and she flipped shit on me. Best thing was she was trying to talk down to me the entire time. Blocked her quickly.
What’s the funniest reason someone got mad at you on Bluesky this year?

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.
I just found out that our stuff is being sold on Amazon - WITHOUT our consent or any ability to opt out bc Amazon is just scraping artist’s websites and putting our shit in their search results. Again, without our permission.

AEW doing shit like this got me to actually start drawing DC adjacent things again. Also, @swerveconfident.bsky.social has no business looking this good as a member of the Green Lantern Corps. None.
The DC Universe showed their love for @swerveconfident.bsky.social's #AEWWorldsEnd attire!

A lot of people do not understand just how bad that schedule was and the fact the ring was basically concrete. 3 touring groups were the norm with the bigger names often expected to hit at least 2 of those 3 towns in the same night. You probably would get fired if you asked for any time off
How many dudes died because Vince let Zahorian pump them full of drugs so they could keep up with the terrible schedule
How many wrestlers are dead because WWE couldn’t be bothered with healthcare or pay the health care cost of former employees?

I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists.
GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters.
Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

There a documented history of trans people going back about 4,000 years across civilisations and these assholes think they’re going to do it.
It’s boring, ahistorical and quite frankly narcissistic for them to think they’ll ever achieve it.

A lot of people are trying to justify their own desire to surrender to Trump early in the year
I am annoyed by the persistence of 'resist libs are tired of resisting Trump' line.
No Kings put record-breaking numbers of people into the streets, specials/off-years are at D+10 or more.
I don't think the resist libs are tired. I think some writers are tired of writing about resist libs.

Lemme clarify for all confused parties. What you have there is a toy. You’re welcome.
“Companions without internal lives of their own — ‘happy slaves’ — and friendship without friction cannot address solipsism, only flatter us into believing our self-absorption is something else.”
Why your AI companion is not your friend
First, tech companies usurped the meaning of ‘friends’ and ‘connection’ — now they are coming for ‘companionship’

Anything to say that she got fooled like others. No, she is a fraud like him that rocked with him the long way. So no. Regardless of the list, she still thought what he was doing was right. Fraud behavior lol
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said that her defense of survivors of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein caused her breakup with Trump.
Greene said the president told her if the identities of the men in the files were revealed, some of his “friends will get hurt."

Randomly ran into Michael Ian Black while checking into a hotel. He was on his way to go do a set at Helium. We chatted for a little and went about our day. Nice guy.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

And WHY TF WAS DEJOY STILL IN OFFICE? For shit like this. Disgusting.
USPS quietly changed its postmark rules — mail is no longer dated when you drop it off. The “official” date is when it hits automated sorting — sometimes days later
Which could have major implications for mail in voting — it’s a clever way to disenfranchise voters that’s going largely overlooked
