hi, cis folks in california!

this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out.

he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841

want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

Time for Timer on a red background. Next to him, the phrase "When my get-up-and-go has got up and went, I hanker for a Hunk O' Cheese!" He looks at you with this blank stare, daring you to tell him you tried to make sunshine on a stick in the freezer but the toothpicks never stayed up straight. He knows you won't say anything because you're embarrassed. You know he knows. He knows that you know that he knows. And yet, he just stands there, hankering for a hunk o' cheese like it isn't fucking impossible to get plastic wrap to stay taught on an ice cube tray. You want to ask him for a wagon wheel, from his stacks of snacks, but you can't bring yourself to say the words, because now you, too, are hankering, hankering for the last hunk-o-cheese, and you both know you'll have to fight for it.

If you can hear this image, it's probably time to schedule your colonoscopy. If you can sing the whole song, it's also time to get your shingles vaccine.

My good friends @robertpicardo.bsky.social and Bill Nye will be in DC on Monday for a Day of Action and space advocacy on Capitol Hill - follow @planetarysociety.bsky.social for all the news and support their mission, in alignment with empowering women in space.

Orion: you guys wanna see something sick

Everyone: is it your fuckass belt again

Wikipedia is having one of their fundraising moments. If you, like me, use Wikipedia every single freaking day, or even if you don't, please consider sending them a buck or two out of love and appreciation.

You got it. I believe in you! :)

Good stuff! You'll be fine. It's still early in the semester. :)

Well, I think that reflects a lot on him as a teacher, too.

Don't be afraid to ask if there's some extra credit assignment you can do, too.

They don't want you to fail. It looks bad for them.

To be more "well-rounded".

The good news is don't sweat the government class. Your government is going to hell in a handbasket anyway. 😅

But seriously, just take some time to review your mistakes and try to figure out why you made them or understand why it's a mistake. You'll do better next time!

Who’s your favourite Jedi? (Wrong answers only.)

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Well I'm so glad I could help. :) Honestly, that's what the Internet is for!

No way! I just did a quick little DuckDuckGo search. :) I'm so glad that's the one!

Why not just ask people for permission?

Oh what’s that? You don’t think enough people would consent? So you’re just going to steal their livelihoods to get rich and hope they never notice?

The posts show an exchange where @GovPressOffice labeled Stephen Miller a "fascist," prompting @StephenM to ask why they posted it. @GovPressOffice responded with "because you're a fascist," escalating the exchange.

If it walks, talks, and goosesteps like one…

Fuck. Get your shot, people.

Californians: do it

Our Approach to Age Assurance - Bluesky We’re committed to keeping our community informed as we navigate new regional regulations.

Bluesky is adding age verification starting tomorrow (9/29) for those of us located in Ohio. A recent law passed “restricting” access to online material for minors.

Age verification laws like these do little to protect children and cause significant harm to our liberties and freedoms.

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

Metric ass tonne.

Hey trans friends! Hey autistic friends! Hey trans, autistic friends!

I'm very glad you're here!

(Haven't said it for a bit. Felt like a good time.)

Larry Ellison is worth $392 billion.

He's bought:
—Sailing team ($875 million)
—Estate in Cali ($200 million)
—98% of a Hawaiian island ($300 million)

Now he's trying to acquire TikTok, HBO, CNN—and push them right.

A lot of good his giant tax breaks are doing the rest of us.

I don't use AI very much at all, myself, but at least you're doing it with a good purpose. :)

deck.blue (my web-based client of choice) tends to populate gifs and such automatically, which is always nice.

I'm watching Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight. Because.

It’s so easy to change your settings to ensure you’re adding alt text to your images, people. #accessibility #a12y
