An art piece by Goran Gligovic of a sword resting against a battered tree in front of a rocky dungeon entrance amidst a snowy field. The text says UNBAN GORAN GLIGOVIC.

Hey @bsky.app @safety.bsky.app @support.bsky.team please unsuspend Goran immediately.

Goran is a great person, a great artist, and the whole anti-Palestine thing youre on is one of those "Ford funding Hitler" disasters you remember being shocked and dismayed by when you learned of in middle school.

Can only assume that this is because Goran, kind Goran, shares accounts of Palestinian folks in dire need of help and financial support. So incredibly shameful on behalf of the Bluesky moderators. I hope they change their hearts before their callousness and cruelty destroys all that they love.

@bsky.app bring back @gorangligovic.bsky.social!

Bluesky has suspended my bro @Gorangligovic.bsky.social, who’s an amazing artist that would always share Palestinian and other mutual aids while speaking against Bluesky’s mods which would delete these accounts.

Fuck Bluesky.

In 1990 and 1992, Ivan Mackerle led small groups of companions into the Gobi Desert to search for the worm. Inspired by Frank Herbert's novel Dune, in which giant fictional sandworms could be brought to the surface by rhythmic thumping, Mackerle constructed a motor-driven "thumper" and even used small explosions to try to find it.

all those battles with the brits on the board pretty much killed any interest I had in food opinions

An Enron-style logo with NVIDIA and a neon N that says “unlike Enron” that I ironically made using AI

In a conservative estimate, I’ve watched this episode like…80 times? I will never not laugh at this entire scene, which would still be funny without riffs. But with riffs continues to devastate me.

Star Wars? Feh. Star Trek? Feh. A Shitposter craves not these things. Only in the power of Barry Lyndon do they find their strength

I am so looking forward to showing our friend Ev this episode on Thursday. Hands down my favorite, just infinite enjoyment for me.

saw Bauhaus open for NIN. summer show, sun hadn’t yet gone down. felt a little wrong to see them in daylight.

bad news for me and you, @costakout.bsky.social

looking at my little Classic Traveller guide, seeing I wrote "hors de combat," thinking a moment, and changing it to "out of action"

I am learning from my "pinnace" experience

"Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: 'Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications.'"

bro what--
what are we doing here, exactly, how can you--anyone be okay with this?

SHOW ME MORE EXCERPTS FROM THAT STUPID BOOK I FUCKING DARE YOU

Oh look this is relevant again

I've come to appreciate how it builds a foundation for Station to Station, but the songs themselves have really grown on me.

Me too. Been listening to Bowie a lot and Diamond Dogs has been on heavy rotation.

What do you think about Young Americans? Always neglected it because it falls between Diamond Dogs and Station to Station, two absolute favorites, but I’ve been digging it more lately.

@wolter.bsky.social Aladdin Sane or Diamond Dogs?

I asked a bug scientist and he said this was true.

he got so mad someone solved his riddle that he fell on his face

I appreciate your attention to this matter.

seven sounds utterly criminal to me

my wife went through *five* once and didn’t get it! I think it’s ridiculous.
