Sorry to be that guy, but these are actually congas (which I studied/played professionally in a past life). Still very cool!

Guys, I don’t mean to sound like this but there is a felon down the street making AI videos of himself as a king shitting on Americans and the American flag and he is literally tearing down the White House as we speak

Realizing I bought tickets to a standing-room-only concert and having preemptive knee pain-induced regrets. Younger me would be disgusted.

The owner of Twitter just reinstated the accounts of several Nazi who had been suspending for violating Twitter's rules about doxxing other users. Now here's another piece on Bluesky's intellectual diversity problem.

Books are the only positive, non-entropic version of immortality that exists. Or could ever exist.

If you write one, and anyone cares enough to keep a copy, someone can hear your voice thousands of years after you’re gone.

And you could make them laugh! Or cry. Make them wise. Comfort them.

Unproven Medical Advice

In a rambling news briefing, President Trump promoted unproven ties between vaccines, autism and Tylenol use by pregnant women and babies.

This is, I think, the best push alert and makes me wonder why this directness isn’t the norm.

@nnedi.bsky.social Just wanted to let you know that I taught Mother of Invention to my speculative fiction workshop and the students loved it as much as I do/did. So much to learn from that!

Just saw the term "truth decay" for the first time, which aptly sums up what's wrong with everything right now.

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like
