The scale difference against the map is hilarious. Looks like she’s playing the Tarrasque! 😅

Elephants can't pursue their release from a Colorado zoo because they're not human, court says Five elephants at a Colorado zoo may be “majestic” but do not have the legal right to pursue their release since they aren't human.

A living, breathing elephant in the U.S. would have more rights if it was incorporated.

When a tool breaks to the point I can’t trust it to do the job well or safely, I throw it out and use another tool.

Buh-bye Meta and X.

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Drizzly Saturday. Perfect for adding whole spices like cinnamon, clove, cardamom, and star anise to my coffee-bean grind.

The CDC reports about 25,000 homicides in the US in 2024.

Only one of them is all over the mainstream news.

Only one of them has politicians speaking out.

Even in death, some people get special treatment.

As if only one in 25,000 was important.

And you wonder why the public isn’t empathetic.

Apparently the suspect arrested in the UnitedHealthcare case had writings critical of the insurance industry…

Not sure that criterion really helped narrow down the search much.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish real news from the satire of @theonion.com. And it’s not the satire that’s shifted.

Good news: BlueSky has rapidly surpassed 24 million users!

Bad news: Bots and fake accounts are just as much a problem here as anywhere else 🤷‍♂️

There’s a stark chasm between major media articles and social media posts on the murder of United Healthcare CEO.

I don’t condone violence. Also, I can’t help but recognize the Robin Hood / French Revolution theme with a thirst to hold accountable those who gain from the exploitation of others.

I’m fine , thanks. California is bigger than Italy, so even a 7.0 earthquake in the northern part of the state wasn’t even a tremor down here along the Central Coast. But it’s thoughtful of you all to check in. 🙏

How can it be time

The conundrum of our politics is it’s fueled by concentrations of money. Which makes billionaires, corporations, and celebrities more important to politicians than regular Americans.

Of course people want to make that go kablooey.

You, me, and the gingerbread—we are all stardust.

I was so jazzed when I heard you get 20 extra characters on BlueSky. Then I realized that means something totally different to a D&D player.

Science isn’t political. It’s just focused on objective truth through transparency, evidence, and accountability… the very things so many politicians want to avoid.

Who else both writes AND draws/paints? How does your literary approach to storytelling inform your visual art?

Grew up in Rome. My family would take weekend trips to picnic out in the countryside, and we’d literally stumble across ancient pottery shards and sculptural fragments, just littered across open fields. You could barely turn over a rock without seeing the hand of an artist from 2000 years ago.

I so relate to this. Even had to worldbuild for an hour to write this comment.

PSA: Dear women with thirst trap accounts. It’s me, not you. I’m gay. You may be beautiful, but don’t waste your time here. That is all.

Hello BlueSky world. Let’s see what happens when you put the social back in social media.
