Yes!!!!

I’ve been holding off on reading “White House Robot Romance” until the @neonichiban.bsky.social iOS app testing started. 🙌

Good things take time, (and I am here for it).

Did you ever think you’d live to see the day that copy errors became a component of human legitimacy?

I am so ready to care about digital comics again. Time to explore @neonichiban.bsky.social (No pressure @chipmosher.bsky.social & David, but we all need this.)

And to achieve this moment, Sam’s company (cosplaying as a Nonprofit) stole all the printing presses, and every piece of content they ever printed, to build his “AI Printing Press” — don’t forget.

Another extremely smart move picking up @selig.bsky.social! Apollo was one of my favorite apps, still mourning its death.

Springtime baking is calling my name. Or maybe just a version of those cinnamon rolls ( …using Lemon Blueberry this time?) #FlashesApp

Wise words that feel applicable to plenty more than science Via @leebillings.bsky.social - www.scientificamerican.com/article/brea...

So it begins, again... @kevinrose.bsky.social & @alexisohanian.bsky.social have the right idea: Building something for people like myself who've pulled way back from contributing to online communities because of how they're crawled by marketers/feds/GenAI training. Excited to Digg back in.

For anyone who needs it right now…
Captain America comic panel that reads: “Doesn’t matter what the press says. Doesn’t matter what the politicians or the mob says. Doesn’t matter if the whole country decides something **wrong** is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: The requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth and tell the whole world: “No, you move.”

Encouraging words from Alan Moore circa 2007, much needed in this era of unapologetic LLM theft. It’s hard to get motivated to write stories worth sharing publicly when we know it’ll likely end up as training data.

Woke up to 100+ reactions from my last @flashes.blue post, with literally no self promotion. That’s more than I ever got at Instagram, which once again I really do not miss!

Also, more pies from the past. #pie

So @flashes.blue limits photo uploads to 4 per post. Wouldn’t mind it increasing to 10, but I can live with it if it means being off of Instagram.

Also, more pie credentials.

Now testing video uploads on the Flashes App (plus listing my pie enthusiast credentials). Really not missing Instagram, or how desperate it gets, manipulating me into scrolling through Reels. (Well done @flashes.blue !)

Who wants to take a photo of the book or thing they’re reading right now?

Looking for constructive ways to spend time that isn’t news doom scrolling.
