I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

Judge Breyer observes: "It is profoundly un-American to suggest that people peacefully exercising their fundamental right to protest constitute a risk justifying the federalization of military forces."

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

NO TIME TO DIE Post-Credits Scene:
Close on Bond's hand. It begins to glow. An explosion of regeneration energy. Craig's face disappears in blinding light. When the light fades, Emma Thompson stares straight into the camera and smiles.
"It's about time," Bond says.

I keep seeing friends who aren't thrilled that Word is newly enshittified. At the risk of sounding like one of Those Guys, there is a magnificent, full featured, entirely free alternative called Libre Office that works on all platforms. I've used it exclusively for over a decade.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.
The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Millions of us first listened to classical, opera, and other music genres via PBS and NPR.
The right yells about the destruction of Western civ and culture, but aren't really interested in cultural preservation. If they were, they'd support funding for public broadcasting, the arts and humanities.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented.
His argument fails even on its own terms.

I befriended a crow. I'd put scraps of food out on the balcony and watch it eat.
After a while it started to bring gifts in return. Bottle caps, disposable lighters, that sort of thing, left on the table.
I accepted them.
But this morning it was waiting for me, holding a diamond ring.
Should I?

Death and Vetinari. On the beach.
Death and Vetinari. On the beach.
IT IS TIME
The man looked up from his beach chair.
"Really?" He said. "I've only just retired."
Death held up a timer. A single grain was about to fall. And then... It didn't.
CURIOUS
Vetinari shrugged.
"I've only just discovered drinks with little umbrellas. I'll let it fall in a bit" 1/17
