Je suis Je rry

I get the twitchy eye spasms if I have too much caffeine. But it is my drug of choice.

Hell yeah

perhaps not really a food, but I love me some instant and decaf coffee

This. I can't believe more people don't talk about how back in 2013 Pam was going to join the lawsuit against TU but changed her mind after Trump made a $25k donation to her PAC.

She was on the take from day one.

OpenAI and the GOP are employing the same tactic: make violations of laws so incredibly numerous and widespread that they exceed the capacity of the legal system to enforce consequences.

Jess Waters recycling the same guy over and over to represent “former” different enemies

That @lataco.bsky.social and @teenvogue.com became (deservedly) breakout stars underscores how hungry people are for bold, fact-based journalism while the major outlets all tip over the Nazi event horizon.

Bill Nye on Capitol Hill

Bill Nye is currently on the Hill to advocate against a proposed 47% cut to NASA science from the Trump admin

there's some Baghdad-Bob-level bullshit out there about Portland right now

This captures it perfectly.

There are so many ways to stop Stephen Miller. We should try them all. Alphabetically is fine.

We’re on a speedrun to bluesky banning anti ai hate speech but leaving anti trans hate speech awesome

it's pretty wild to be doing "stop being racist to my computer friend" discourse when the forces of Actual Racism are totally ascendant in government and inventing new ways to arrest people for their skin color every day

If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

One first step people should do to respond to this is start using the “report a speed trap” function in Apple Maps to report where ICE is operating. Make Apple party to the attempt to protect people.

I remember the day I realized that ICQ stood for "I seek you" and now that's really all I remember about it.

Fuzzy Phidippus jumping spider with bright red uppers and black legs and dark face, a velvet ant mimic. He's on a dry leaf peering up at you

Top view of the colorful lad on the leaf, peering up and away from you at something out of frame

He's perfect, and #Arachtober themed

Mr Phidippus cardinalis appeared this afternoon and made my day. ❤️

"What kind of jokes is Dave Chappelle telling in Saudi Arabia that he can't tell here?"

"You know what kind."

I can see that one

What's the opposite of a sock puppet?

"Safely back" is what we're all striving for. I hope you guys have a smooth rebuild process!

DHS posted a sizzle reel about it.

It's like an uncanny valley effect for gimmicky UI, but instead of revulsion it induces rage.

All you can really do is head into Accessibility and select "Reduce Transparency," but even that doesn't turn off the bullshit — it just reduces the goopiness of it.

Ugh.

RIGHT

I like the flat look with the sharper corners. Let me toggle that other crap off!

The "liquid glass" effect of iOS 26 is fucking hideous and whoever designed it should go back to aughts-era Android and think about what they've done.

I was pulling for kyanite last year, and was disappointed when it didn't make it. I am glad I was able to vote in the final round!
