@mntyfrsh.bsky.social It's so sad what happened to IG

Reinstalled IG to promote a streaming festival I'll be a part of this month and hooooly shit that app overwhelming lol. It's like a mental sugar rush.

Personally I find it truly amazing to create something and just give it away for free, even better if I can also share the source for that given product

I guess it’s the best way to give a massive f-you against big corpo’s on this planet. Not only do you tell people not to use corporate greed […]

Thinking of looking into a print news subscription... trying to find ways to stop the doomscroll while staying informed.

Any recommendations? I know a lot of previously well-regarded papers are sort of compromised now (WaPo, NYT, LA Times). Even the Santa Cruz Sentinel is owned by a hedge fund […]

Restarting Couch to 5K after a year away from the routine. I am so out of shape. 😅

Redirected my Bluesky account to this one using Bounce by @anewsocial. Very easy process.

On October 3rd, I’m asking you to register to vote.

Delusions of a Protocol On vaporware as an ideological product.

I had to expunge my thoughts on Bluesky's current, uh, choppy waters into a proper blog post (which jay can't take down for being too mean or saying 'lol' in a threatening way)

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

Toddler doesn't want to eat her lasagna → I get to eat more lasagna

Toddler wants last night's pasta but throws a tantrum when I tell her to eat it → I get to eat even more pasta

Gotta look at the silver lining

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

The amendments don’t care about your feelings.

This headed goal from Racheal Kundananji is worth watching again and again 🎥

Do you think unbending Clippy until he was a long piece of metal would be painful for him. Or do you think it would cause him to feel a great sense of relief

A series of search results, all with different URLs, with almost identical titles. All are some variation on "I tested the Britax Cow Print Infant Car Seat - Why it's the perfect choice"

In case it wasn't already apparent... web search is cooked.

A stunningly beautiful baby in a hospital bassinet. She is clearly extremely cool, as she holds her hand up next to her head, beckoning us to rock on.

Hello, Heidi. 🤘

I can’t say this enough, but PLEASE, if you work in government, do something about this.

Bi isn’t anti-surrogacy—in fact, she frequently advises other investors who are pursuing it and sends me links to startup after startup. Sheel Mohnot, a venture capitalist friend of Bi’s who has commissioned twiblings, said the problem is that information is siloed when “each agency has their own database of wombs.” In this model, surrogates are the gestational equivalents of Uber drivers or Amazon warehouse workers. “There should be a database of carriers allowing us to filter on what we want: age, BMI, willingness to abort the fetus,” Mohnot said.

the surrogates aren't even people to these women. the fact that pregnancy is risky and can potentially kill the surrogate doesn't even interest them. jesus christ

We moved a HomePod from our living room up to our bedroom in anticipation of Baby 2.0, so of course I just had to shuffle my thrifted sound system from our garage into the living room. It actually sounds pretty nice and has ARC! :0

But the AV receiver isn't passing through video, so… back to it

Stayed up way too late last night reading Words of Radiance. No regrets. Well some regrets.

The stuff with Eze is pretty rough. 😕 Talk about a rug pull. #coys
