There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

As it gets cooler and I remember to put on more clothing for biking, may I recommend the best thing @foxyjewishmama.bsky.social has ever told me about, helmuffs. They fit right over your helmet straps to keep your ears warm and are so warm. Support the small business. www.helmufs.com

It's alarming how quickly searching for certain terms on the internet related to dating can almost instantly lead you to "red pill" material, especially after a breakup. It really doesn't take much.
Thankfully I know what to watch for but damn, they really do be trying out here.

But for real, "disaster recovery" is a thing, and Amazon has more than one region.
It remains absurd that half the internet goes down when one AWS region breaks.

US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.
Block on sight.
Protect your digital space.
Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.
The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

But also, almost NO ONE is asking the question of if these gains are worth the huge environmental price we're all paying.
And that's ignoring the massive amount of Very Bubble-like Financial Instability of it all today.

I think this is right. As someone who’s used it a lot/frequently trapped in Discourse, my experience
1.) Pretty helpful with (quant) research. More useful than doomers admit
2.) Not nearly as revolutionary as proponents push
3.) Many who find it useful greatly underestimate terrifying downsides

Idk, my position is kinda “it’s a useful tool that’s clearly here to stay but is also over hyped and has substantial negative externalities”

I really wouldn’t be shining lasers at helicopters if I were you. It’s illegal and could cause an aircraft to crash - and that could kill a LOT of people, in the air and on the ground.
And the ICE goons appear to be *salivating* at the chance to claim people that they arrest were doing this:

This is such an astoundingly bad idea that I kinda think it’s a false flag or an op of some sort
Merits aside, it is insanely easy to be caught if you do this and the punishment for doing this is much more severe than you’d guess.

Business idea: cargo bike Uber. You need a ride somewhere - book a ride in a cargo bike. Bike shows up, you hop on and get a ride to your destination.
Fare is free, but you are required to both listen to your driver talk about their bike and ask about their accessories for the duration of the ride.

CNN not only airing this fascist bullshit but not even attempting to push back on it means they're very much complicit.

Nearly every morning I can hear the high school marching band practicing a few blocks away, whether the windows are open or not. It's now a part of my morning routine to guess which song they're playing, lol.
