I am probably the only human who loved how 140 characters forced a lean, haiku like style to making a post or argument. Our limitations are a blessing, in many ways. They’re part of the art.
Possibly controversial take (I'm on a roll today), but… I don't want Bluesky to have support for 500-character posts. Mastodon threads have 500-char posts, and it is a noticeable difference and not necessarily in a good way. Just a bit too much to read in one comment…

I’ve said it before but reading all the medieval history books I’ve been reading lately has been so comforting. Makes you realize that there have always been mad and incompetent kings and they almost always die in ignominy and everyone piles shit on them for centuries after they’re gone.

only in fan circles is it completely normal to say "here is some porn that speaks directly to your id, happy birthday"
it’s so funny to me when fic writers go “this fic is a gift to my lovely friend XYZ, i’m grateful for your support over the years, etc” and it’s the nastiest smut you’ve ever read

whenever i feel like i am Too Much™️ as a person, i read werner herzog’s wikipedia page as a reminder that i should always be more actually
![Herzog, aged 13, was told by a bullying music teacher to sing in front of his class at school in an effort, Herzog said, "to break my back." When he adamantly refused, he was almost expelled. The incident scarred him for life.[8] For several years, Herzog avoided music entirely, he didn't listen to it, sing it, or study any instrument. But when he turned 18, he threw himself into it with sudden, intense devotion.[8]
At an early age, he experienced a dramatic phase in which he converted to Catholicism, which lasted only a few years. He started to embark on long journeys, some on foot. Around this time, he knew he would be a filmmaker and learned the basics from a few pages in an encyclopedia that provided him with "everything I needed to get myself started" as a filmmaker—that, and the 35 mm camera he stole from the Munich Film School.[12] In the commentary for Aguirre, the Wrath of God, he says, "I don't consider it theft. It was just a necessity. I had some sort of natural right for a camera, a tool to work with".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6ut2x4e2rt4zojqkiob5qyy5/bafkreibon3on7k6lavrjvjtocjp4yk36jnndgk74qo4yoicxxuv4r5etfi@jpeg)

God shut UP how do you have a fucking PhD and not understand the very real, *material* benefits of marriage
I'm sorry, this is just a terrible take, "Will." The last two decades of "progress" have indeed been entirely superficial and assimilationist. The idea that queer folks brought on fascism because they "went too far" with trans rights shows how readily assimilation lends itself to eliminationism.

wrestling introduces you to types of yaoi you never knew existed cause like what do you mean one of the most romantic things I have ever heard is someone walking away from a lucrative contract to end his career with his best friend in another rival company, like that’s love bitch

the human brain is absolutely incredible at adapting
it deals with the abnormal by rapidly making it normal
no matter how much you tell yourself the Nazi soup isn’t changing you, your brain is churning away in the background normalizing it until it doesn’t bother you as much as it should

Genuinely do not understand why people spend literally any amount of time on X these days
You are not immune to propaganda and it’s not even *good* propaganda. You’re just cooking your brain in Nazi slop

L. Frank Baum said “I am going to write an American fairytale” and oh boy did he ever.
So you’re telling me the Wizard of Oz presented itself as a towering force of overwhelming technology, only to be unmasked as just some guy, off-screen?
So apparently, it may turn out that The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere wasn’t entirely made in AI and Google threw the VFX crew under the bus by claiming it was all done by artificial intelligence.
If true, then fucking yikes.

You can love a wrestler and still admit when they're wrong. I love Christian Cage but can acknowledge his flaws (he has none) & can hold him accountable for his wrongdoings (he’s never done anything wrong in his life) & call him out for his actions (which are always correct). #wrestlesky
