tech ceos: san francisco is turning to shit

also tech ceos: [dealing drugs] [murdering each other] [not paying rent]

Well, so are you, and here we are.

As a Cancer: Scorpios are awesome. They are a rollercoaster, and we need to teach them about that emotion thing sometime, but they're a fully approved sign :)

To the surprise of probably no one, it turns out the DC Police Intel Chief was feeding info to the Proud Boys.

I had exactly one business, and then decided I'm not dealing with that.

But I have confidence in you!

I think it's a business opportunity - you could temporarily rent space on your car to schools that'd like to be featured. Win - win!

Have you paid any of the people who ensure your show is at least remotely watchable yet?

No? Might want to get on that.

@drrgibsongirl.bsky.social welcome to the weird place :)

I cannot stress enough the impact of community standards on TRUE freedom of expression.

Refusing to tolerate hate creates space for EVERYONE’S joy.

The thing about not being 20 any more that probably sucks the most?

The fact that a piece of sugary dessert has roughly the same effect as horse tranquilizer.

Is it only me, or are lately 2-3 hours just missing from everyday? (Unless we talk about energy levels, which feel like we gained 5)

Yep. This is the newswire place.

Societies have long figured out that the only thing that works with truly destructive elements in shunning.

So, shun them. There is no place in civil society for them, anywhere.

And if you believe intersectional justice is a "mind virus", you might want to ask your friends for an intervention.

Should we start a Patreon to get your caps lock fixed?

I gotta say, the joy when you randomly see somebody pop up whom you knew from the hellsite, it's really special.

I'm here for the endorphins

"Fear of eggplant" would be an interesting gene ;)

That seems about right - roughly 2 weeks per year is the speed we're moving at.

I lost the gene lottery when it comes to cilantro. All I get is "eww, soap".

Which did not help the taste, but only marginally worsened it after the lime episode.

Baking salmon tonight, fully under my control. That should work better.

Great, now I have PTSD

It was... an odd experience. We'll start with the fact that it had a slice of lime buried in the Pad Thai. If you've ever microwaved a lime (or lemon) you know what that means - Lime Central Forever.

Then, copious amounts of cilantro (blah). Plus overall blandness.

Harmless, but cannot recommend.

Whippersnapper.

Ayup. It's *long* past time to stop bipartisanship with Nazis.

Hey, @jay.bsky.team - while y'all ponder the best way to keep Nazis off the platform, please make the invite tree visible.

Because "who brought them in" is an important question here.

Wait, the assumption is bsky users are 35?

<manic cackling>

I'm going to eat a microwaveable Pad Thai "ready made meal).

Wish me luck.

Thanks to @faineg.bsky.social I now have the best Alf picture of all times in my collection.

Just can't stop laughing.

I really like this Faine person and am grateful we can go from Alf to this because this is so fucking vital to our collective survival and no one on social media is talking about it anywhere else.

In Chicago. In early May.

+1 on keeping. Streaming services are capricious assholes who will ruin your music experience for their profit any day.

Also, rip. Backup. Distributed backup.
