Holy crap within MOMENTS of posting this, she hops off and retreats to a bed?! It's like she's jacked in to the web, what?!

Legitimate question that probably comes off mean: why do you do these streaming events?

Does it truly resonate with younger voters? Is it a helpful revenue stream, ie people actually like to donate while watching? Does it garner engagement?

That's a great way to learn. I'm getting that more and more myself with software. I can see abs understand the code colleagues write. But without creating something similar, it doesn't stick.

Sure but then why would corporations and rich people donate? Priorities...

Makes me think of Richard Feynman's point about how *teaching* something really tests & proves one's understanding of it.

And that's so true. I can claim to get X. But if I must explain X to someone... really tests whether & how well I *truly* understand it.

I enjoy that I saw this post & thread out of nowhere in my feed.

While I think the point needs no context necessarily, I still appreciate that @autistichypercube.bsky.social's point resonated anyway.

BlueSky is cool. Feels like what social media should have been. Mostly just nice ppl sharing stuff

To properly rephrase this liar's quote:

'We want to keep our lobbyist & corporate paychecks for doing little to no actual work, so we're gonna keep this all secret because we support our corrupt leadership' - DNC Chair Ken Martin (what he MEANT, not what he said)

I'm curious - how would your own domain setting invalidate your handle on BlueSky?
December 17, 2025 at 1:34 PM
That's actually pretty interesting. When I tried to @ him it auto-completed to "@handle.invalid"

I suspect BlueSky's missing some sanitization! Or at least conflicting rules.

Whoops! Ha, definitely meant morTality. Ah, well.

What about sleeping hanging from the ceiling upside-down? Asking for a friend.

As someone who is not a Critical Role fan (tho I wish I were), Brennan do you mind taking a week or two to maybe SLEEP or otherwise admit your morality? kthx

Is this anything like (or as good as) the original His Dark Materials trilogy? I'd forgotten about this new set and haven't read them.

Now if smart people still worked at Google, they'd implement a system where I'm re-targeted after a certain period of time.

But megacorps only care about the current & next quarter
