I like "single use plastic of the mind"

Biquette died as she lived, going hard, sucking down poison, I tip my hat to you, madam.

TIL about Biquette, the punk rock goat 🐐

Very few us go through life sticking with the hormone factory settings, it's just a starting point, go ahead and adjust that hormone lever to your liking.

Wasn't opposed to getting a used Tesla for cheap for the boy but it may not be worth it, even at firesale prices. Can't beat a used Corolla or Camry.

Teslas may not be even worthy of high school "beater car" status. My teen will inherit my ratty old corolla instead.

we got one good billionaire, who is quickly shedding her billions to give to our collective benefit. God bless the ex-wives.

I LOVE THE LIBRARY. I live a block from my library and I check out DVDs to watch movies that I can't access via streaming. I check out a high powered telescope for special star nights. I can burrow specialized cake pans. With a library card you can also add Kanopy to your streaming options.

you're right, gotta believe in myself

oh god, is there a way to put this video on a post it attached to my bathroom mirror

aw, miss machete deserves all the likes for making a good choice, Alas, only rewarded with standard bluesky reply guy.

He is an incredible asshole, and she is stubborn as fuck and knows exactly how to keep him in check, and they are perfect together.

Daniel Day Lewis in Phantom Thread, after his wife makes him a nice dinner. He says: "i'm admiring my own gallantry for eating it the way you prepared it"

the quotes, so many quotable quotes, yes, this is part of being in a long term relationship.

I love it, it's the best movie about marriage. It's about how people make marriage work. (you need your partner to need you, they need to need you).

Gotta release the ethers by poasting harder.

OMG, I love The Mavericks, please listen and dance in your office right now to Dance the Night Away.

There is no plan to prevent the next pandemic. If there was a functional CDC or USDA, there might have been some protocol for this situation but U.S. public health is in "catch-as-catch-can" mode.
There is no plan, no collective response, only individuals "doing their own research." 🩺🧪 #MedSky

So, there's 72 dead vultures on school grounds, likely killed by bird flu.
Who do you call?
The CDC? No, they're gone.
Ag dept? Yes, state ag can test for bird flu.
Animal control?
They called dnr who rejected them until TV news started poking. "Ok, we'll clean up the dead birds just this once."

When I hear a songwriter, every songwriter is using Suno. I get it. It is a tool that can help you crank out songs, every song, enough song that one might go viral and earn you money. I get it. Be careful. That shit is poison.

I have a bad attitude about generative AI. It's not that it can't be used to make stuff. But it takes so much energy, computing power that could be used to keep humans alive. And it takes a bite of the human soul with each use. We can't afford to lose the energy, we can't afford to lose our soul.

let's check in with Furnando. @cameratrapsue.bsky.social is a great follow #NewSkies

Time to let it go, zone out, be a cozy mammal in its nest.

That's the good stuff, with a little pastry? I need to seek that more often.

Such a nice young fella.

Celebrities: they post like us!

Cuz, it's giving Hitler youth.
It's also very funny because most teens do not give a shit about this org and its mandated creation from adults will only ensure they loathe it.

I regret to inform you that exercise remains one of the few effective ways to treat pain. Visit a physical therapist not a chiropractor. 🩺 #MedSky

(Back flips like Buffy, lands on spine) "You are now cured of IBD!"

But seriously, I know people are incredibly devoted to their chiropractors and the reason is called the placebo effect. Just having someone listen, place gentle hands and give you attention can itself make a huge difference. 🩺
