Speaking of, via the Nazi app (someone here said I supported Nazis cuz I use Twitter), just found out @jackcalifano.bsky.social (who has no posts here, wonder why) who spent 9 months with/100+ rolls on Zohran will be selling 8x10 prints so you can "hang it on your wall like the boomers did with JFK"

If you asked @jay.bsky.team to define "Sexually Suggestive: Does not include nudity", $20 sez they'd have zero answer & are instead letting AI figure this shit out
(yes Bluesky stans who think they are better than folks on Twitter; it's in use here too, it just doesn't have a dumb name like Grok)…

Political discourse on Bluesky:
“Can’t stress enough how perfect of a day it is in NYC. A comfortable 65 degrees. No cloud in the sky. Most golden light you have ever seen. It’s like the city is on a soundstage. You would call it corny if you saw it in a movie.”

Just wanted to give props to @unitof.com for being an Actual Archivist, despite the lack of a MSLIS, please refer to the image below
And BTW/FYI to anyone who couldn't/didn't tune in last night, the plug was pulled a grant total of SIX TIMES, which I think is a record for a single broadcast?

This footage of the new Pixel 10 Fold exploding in the hands of JerryRigEverything (via @anxiousholly.bsky.social's Twitter; the full video is on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uS9...) is yet another reason why as I feel such a dumbass for previously recommending both the Pixel 6a & 7a... [1/7]

Like everyone else, I cannot stop thinking about, nor stop talking about, what will surely be 2025's movie of the year, without question… am talking about Crispin Glover's new movie of course, which has its world premiere one week from tonight, at @momanyc.bsky.social

I hate how Meta was the first company to go all in & give their app icons a liquid glass makeover, tho it’s also not surprising either (nor is them neglecting FB Messenger)
Even Google has been showing restraint on that end (and no iOS 26 as my daily driver for the foreseeable future)

Just another friendly reminder that:
- the MTA is raising fares very soon
- this particular machine at my local stop was installed < 5 months ago
- we’re 9+ months into congestion pricing, which has no doubt earned the city a fortune
- tap to pay is still a bad idea due to security concerns
- the MTA is raising fares very soon

Strange as it sounds, but myself & others talked about our time during the lockdown with a certain degree of wistfulness; it's important to note that the key detail is how it allowed us to spend more time with our partners & thus strengthened said relationships, which was NOT the case for everyone)…

"Americans, every time this happens..." is a pitch perfect response to the Cracker Barrel logo re-design kerfuffle (via youtu.be/BTD4kLAujQI)

Despite Bluesky’s growing rep of zero sense of humor, it’s nice to know some folks know how to crack a joke (tho also @wario64.bsky.social is legit your one stop shopping for ALL the deals)

Greetings from AnimeNYC; highlight thus far has been while waiting in line in the bathroom and overhearing a custodial worker grumbling under his breath “Y’all can’t poop in the urinal, that’s just not right.”

This is precisely how you motivate folks to uninstall your app, which in turn leads them to completely forgetting about/not missing the associated service/platform as a whole

BTW/FYI, Cathode TV is currently playing Trick or Treat, which guest stars Ozzy (see www.cathodetv.com)
Also another friendly reminder that their fundraiser is still going; help them reach their goal of $18K (see www.gofundme.com/f/cathode-ci...)

This is one of the many reasons why I gave $99 to Cathode TV's fundraiser (see gofundme.com/f/cathode-ci...), so tune in to find several of your own (see cathodetv.com)

Re: Mamdani's historic win, specifically all the discourse that has sprung up as to who should get the credit (naturally there are folks who DON'T think it's Zohran), this excerpt from today's Garbage Day email, entitled "If you're normal, people will vote for you actually", is worth sharing...

Cannot wait for that Post or Times article if Cuomo wins, provided enough New Yorkers are stupid enough to fall for all the b.s. propaganda that billionaire bootlicker/sex pest has been flooding airwaves/overstuffing mailboxes with, in particular: "Mamdani ultimately could not connect with voters"

Via @bakoon.bsky.social's stream the other night; trust & believe that I'll be reminding everyone tomorrow night (see www.wonderville.nyc/events/fort-...) one last time to NOT RANK CUOMO (as futile the effort might be, aka am afraid bakkooonn has indeed called it)

Found this in my neighborhood in Brooklyn, where braindead centrist libs parrot whatever propaganda (like lies re: Mamdani) is fed to them, just like the Trumpers they think they’re so superior to (but instead of Fox News, it’s from the New York Times); naturally it was gone two days later

A friendly heads up/reminder re: how truly broken the iPhone experience has become
Am aware of all the iOS 19/26 rumors & could care less about rounded icons orange some "glassy" interface, I just want things to work dammit

There is truly no better than feeling than after ordering countless expensive & delicate gear from Amazon, that all arrives in the flimsiest of envelopes, and which leads to all kinds of hardware failures + wasted time cuz of returns & exchanges, to then get this dinky ass battery in a massive box

… At the very least it can give you notifications that their brand new state of the art (yet is still LIGHT YEARS behind other countries) cashless payment system that who fucking knows how much it cost to implement, which has been legit broken since day one, remains so

Went to @spectacletheater.com yesterday to see Stuart Shapiro of @nightflightplus.bsky.social fame present Dance International Vol 1; not only did Stuart defer to me during the Q&A, to help explain what Night Flight was & its importance, I also got a sneak peak of something hitting the service soon

Happy Mother's Day; here are photos of my mom at some point after she made the escape from North to South Korea, which was a harrowing experience she refused to get into, much of her life remains a mystery to me, all due to trauma that directly ties to mental heath issues she would later develop
