more mr. nice guy @juniorhoncho.bsky.social has to feel so good when you've been working really hard on your kung fu and another kung fu guy says your kung fu is like, so strong. but a lot of the time he's got a follow up about how your kung fu is actually bad and sucks compared to his own kung fu. so it's important you don't react right away October 16, 2025 at 11:03 PM

no. @joles.bsky.social applying for jobs again [screenshot of an online job application form: Can you describe specific ways you have integrated Al tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond simple prompt usage.* there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. "you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster." there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn't mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face.

Related: I feel like a lot of the piracy vs buying discourse (🤢 that this is even a thing) gets framed as stealing money from individual authors vs. stealing from faceless corporate publishers when for most authors it’s about whether or not they’ll get to publish another book.

“I wish I could have gotten the message across that there isn’t a distinction between “they/them” and “you.” The pronoun that matters is “we.”

In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning."

I chose Larry Summers.

Here’s that image with alt text.

Also, search & mute words cover alt text, so it lets people find or avoid your post if they want to.
Screenshot of text: So, I know the Shared Wives Forum is pretty strict about keeping on topic, but something happened tonight that I just have to tell someone. I'll keep it short. We get to our favourite dogging spot around 8 PM. It's a rest stop along the highway that usually has decent action and enough privacy to play. There's no one there yet except a couple truckers who showed no interest, so we're listening to the radio hanging out. An SUV pulls up right next to us and who gets out? Cory. Freaking. Doctorow. He just went to the vending machines for a soda and went on his way. But how epic! Wife and I geeked out for the next 15 minutes or so that His Nerdiness graced our dogging spot. Later that night she got creampied by a trucker and then a cyclist. The cyclist also needed a new AA battery for his

good morning specifically to the FBI agent who introduced Mamdani’s dad to Marx
guy said, “Do you like Marx?” I said, “I haven’t met him.” Guy said, “No, no, he’s dead.” “Wow, what happened?” “No, no, he died long ago.” I thought the guy Marx had just died. So then, “Why are you asking me if he died long ago?” “No, he wrote a lot. He wrote that poor people should not be poor.” I said, “Sounds amazing.” I’m giving you a sense of how naïve I was. After they left, I went to the library to look for Marx. So that was my introduction to Karl Marx. BS: The FBI. MM: The FBI. Then, of course, I took a class on Marx. Couldn’t just get Marx out of the library. But,

An instant all-timer in the NYT’s “some experts say” genre
Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs.

"smoker" is on the CDC list and basically impossible to disprove
effies.bsky.social Effie Seiberg @effies.bsky.social · Sep 19
This is super cool bc:

1) Many of the highest-risk conditions, like ME/CFS & Long Covid, aren't on the list

2) The best way to protect the vulnerable is to protect the population so others don't infect them

3) None of this accounts for Novavax which is not mRNA

On one hand, reducing car use reduces urban pollution.
But on the other, everyone likes it and cities become more livable
Average nitrogen dioxide concentration in Paris has fallen significantly Her proposals have faced pushback — from right-leaning politicians, a car owners’ association and suburban commuters, who say that targeting cars makes their lives more difficult. But last month, Parisians voted in a referendum to turn an additional 500 streets over to pedestrians. A year earlier, Paris had moved to sharply increase parking fees for SUVs, forcing drivers to pay three times more than they would for smaller cars. The city has also turned a bank of the Seine from a busy artery into a pedestrian zone and banned most car traffic from the shopping boulevard of Rue de Rivoli. Carlos Moreno, a professor at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University and a former adviser to the city, said the French capital has developed “an urban policy based on well-being.”
