Porn and erotica are important and societally valuable forms of speech, and the defense of them, in the face of state and church attempts at repression, is a necessary political act.

lol, lmao. Okay I’m going to explain this hack because it’s pretty clever.
Non-technical people should know that this is a fun thing that a user created and there’s nothing wrong with it per se, but it’s not exactly standard

Zohran is going to kill the “YIMBYs and leftists are mortal enemies” idea and that alone will make the internet 23% less annoying to me personally. Big accomplishment.

Hi this is Seth, CEO of Block Button, Inc. You may have been made aware of some of our recent marketing campaigns. Yes, every ~2 weeks or so we sign into a random Bluesky account and post something terrible. When this didn't work we also invented Jerry. This combo has thus far been quite successful.

Moscow has a whole system of private micro-buses (vans, essentially) that supplement the official bus system at more or less the same cost as the big bus. They literally take the same routes, use the same stops, and so on.
vancouver has been running human-operated mini buses every 30-60min on low volume routes for decades.
like this one i took that circulated a mountainside residential area that, in any equivalent US jurisdiction, there would be no transit service, or only peak-hour service with a full sized bus.

“Cities are the Real American” is so goddamn real. I’ve felt this deeply in my bones, perhaps because the dog whistle of suburban/rural America being more real was always obvious to city dweller of color. Maybe more pronounced to me as an Angeleno, but feel it’s true across the US.
It's so fucking refreshing, and so fucking cool, to see a politician that loves the city he lives in and represents. Cities are the Real America. Both in practice and in the ideal.
Mamdani: Where else can you hear the sound of the steel pan, savor the smell of sancocho, and pay $9 for coffee on the same block? Where else could a Muslim kid like me grow up eating bagels and lox every Sunday?

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

Zohran’s inauguration brimmed w/the energy that NYC is “a shining beacon of possibility” per @jumaane.bsky.social.
Amidst the darkness of authoritarianism, inequality & hate, we have a chance to show what’s possible.
That’s always been our mission as New Yorkers—it was profoundly renewed today.

From the personal computing perspective, the cloud has been a disaster — but we shouldn't run away from it.
We can solve a lot of problems by connecting our clouds, turning it into atmospheric computing.
