Welp. For the first time in my life I heard them make an actual “is there a doctor onboard?” announcement. Obviously the health and safety of everyone on board comes first, but I also do hope they don’t have to do an ATB 😅

What the ACTUAL fuck. For half a second I was happy to the see the name of my Alma mater, but this is not how I wanted to see it. I mean, at least it seems like the university isn’t complicit, but still, what the SHIT

Man Bsky makes it so much easier to manage your feed(s) in bulk, not to mention it’s great to see other community members take the time to curate lists like this. Seeing the same content reposters over and over is something that is a problem not just with twitter but with instagram lately, too…
Huge win from @franzanth.bsky.social creating a Content Scraper Blocklist: bsky.app/profile/cont...
It's a blocklist for the kinds of engagement bait accounts that repost stolen content, often with misleading captions.

Being a gamer in your 30s means you get all the games you always wanted but finish maybe 3 of them and replay your favorite ones over and over

Im gonna say it again: music is VITAL to games. Music guides players. Music enhances emotional moments. Music is so so so important. Funny enough video games are modern operas in the way music is needed to buoy the emotional stakes.
