I hope the ocean of rancid pornography/pointless brainrot that comes from this deal was worth spitting directly in the face of artists, animators, and craftsmen. You know, the people who actually built the mouses empire with human creativity and devotion to their craft.

For the past 2-3 yrs, Disney was a comfort when things got really bad. Being involved in various Disney spaces taught me it's okay to be 100% me and that's enough...
I already drastically pulled back after Kimmel. This is likely the nail in the coffin. Unbelievably disappointed.

When I began playing w/ real cards, I couldn't fathom how people spent $150 every few months on a box, much less multiple, then bought singles for their deck.
I didn't know how people played more than 1 TCG,
or how they willingly played with expensive, special treatment cards.
Now I do it all 😂

I drove to my LGS (40 min. one way) on back to back weeknights to play in my first “Nexus night” after @getemgames.bsky.social invited me during Lorcana night.
I think the drive was worth it! 😆

While millions of families struggle to put food on the table Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg own more wealth than the bottom HALF of Americans.
That’s what oligarchy is about. That’s what a rigged economy is about.
Is it any wonder that people in this country are angry?

“this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.”

Even with the release of the files I’m thinking “it’s not over til it’s over.” There’s a part of me that’s worried even with all of this, it won’t be enough. We’ve known about the files forever and nothing’s changed. It would be insane, but unsurprising to me somehow.

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

My flight got delayed by 1.5 hours, which meant I very likely wasn’t going to make my connecting flight. 10 minutes later it’s no longer delayed.
It’s before 6am, why are they playing with me emotions like this 😭

good morning besties!! 🥰❤️🔥
reminders for today:
⭐️ reconnect with what lights you up inside
⭐️ allow yourself to shine without the desire of being seen
⭐️ to survive the seasons you must change with them
⭐️ no amount of regretting can change the past, and no amount of worrying can change the future

One of the reasons I like this platform over X (there are many reasons) is because it consistently has a higher engagement rate with real people, not bots.
A note for sports: Bluesky’s engagement rate was x10 higher than X’s across a sampling of identical posts made on both platforms by @rapsheet.bsky.social (sharing with permission)
Fwiw we see a similar trend across all communities, not just sports. Real people, real conversations.
