All hail Alf
A picture of a black bucket hat with a few enamel pins and a rendering of biblically accurate Alf printed on it. The hat is perched on the head of an aged white man. The background is full of clutter but most notably window blinds with fly swatters hanging from them.

Sorry, TikTok isn't available right now A law banning TikTok has been enacted in the U.S. unfortunately that means you can't use TikTok for now. We are fortunate that President Trump has indicated that he will work with us on a solution to reinstate TikTok once he takes office. Please stay tuned

That's correct

Oh shit, @weirdmedieval.bsky.social sent bonus stickers! Thanks!
A terrible picture of some stickers from Weird Medieval Guys. On the left is a lion maybe playing a violin. On the right is a cat churning butter.

This hat is very Bluesky
A black bucket hat with biblically accurate ALF on the front, a sliding pin from Bibi Pins and an armless frog pin from Weird Medieval Guys Another angle of the biblically accurate ALF bucket hat showing that ALF has a companion from Weird Medieval Guys in the form of a biblically accurate bird pin.

This you?
The backlash to these datasets baffles me a bit. People are upset they haven't consented to collection (they have implicitly). More than that, the idea other organizations aren't collecting this firehose internally is laughable. Here it's open and semi-traceable at least. #NLP #Huggingface

Adding the full quote with alt text
Mark Driscoll: There is a strong drift toward the hard theological left. Some emergent types [want] to recast Jesus as a limp-wrist hippie in a dress with a lot of product in His hair, who drank decaf and made pithy Zen statements about life while shopping for the perfect pair of shoes. In Revelation, Jesus is a pride fighter with a tattoo down His leg, a sword in His hand and the commitment to make someone bleed. That is a guy I can worship. I cannot worship the hippie, diaper, halo Christ because I cannot worship a guy I can beat up. I fear some are becoming more cultural than Christian, and without a big Jesus who has authority and hates sin as revealed in the Bible, we will have less and less Christians, and more and more confused, spiritually self-righteous blogger critics of Christianity.

This is the follower list for this account

But I found them on this follower list

An example of poisoned clout chasing. This fairly innocuous account.
A screen shot of a Bluesky account with a cat picture header, a bio that reads "Just be you" followed by various happy emojis. The visible posts are nonsense shit posts.

What is the implication of this paragraph?
A screenshot, text below Conservatives are oppressed by immigrants, of course, even though immigrants add value to their communities and always have, even though immigrants in aggregate uphold the values conservatives claim to hold dear more than conservatives do. Immigrants oppress conservatives by existing, and this oppression takes the form of conservatives having to be aware that they exist, and through other people accepting immigrants, and through laws that accept immigrants, all of which creates an expectation that conservatives will accept immigrants, too, instead of terrorizing and bullying and expelling and killing them, and this is a very oppressive thing for conservatives to endure, and if you don't believe me, go ask them.

Words do mean things, so what does that sub head mean?
A screen shot of an article. The title of the article is "It's Time To Oppress Conservatives" The subheading reads "With a generous, diverse, and open world that will care for everyone, even for them."

This is an actual switchblade. The deployment of the Stylus and this switchblade in speed are almost indistinguishable. However, this one is illegal for me to carry in my city, but not state wide whereas the Stylus isn't banned in my city as long as it isn't concealed.
Knife law is dumb.
