The only people who laugh at Trump's "jokes" are the people who think causing others distress is the pinnacle of hilarity. Middle-school bullies everywhere love him. Unfortunately we have a lot of those.

Somewhere, a DM who saw this is putting a ginger golem into their campaign.

Crime riders? Oh, are billionaires taking public transportation now? Or regime officials? Because they're the ones committing the most crime.

Apparently commuting to work on a bicycle is both the most exilarating life-affirming experience ever and also utter horror every moment because of all the homicidal drivers. At the same time. Seems to be a Schrodinger kind of thing.

It's a matter of perspective. To someone with the political sophistication of a flatworm, all those mammals look alike.

I've seen multiple mega-threads about this, and I'm sure there have been thousands of reports, so there is no way the bsky brass are unaware. The fact that they've done nothing about it suggests that they don't give a shit. (Yeah, what a shocker.) They probably think it's hilarious.

Nothing says "American Evangelical" than building a retreat on the graves of raped and murdered children.

I don't think it's a coincidence that my laptop's battery life got much worse at the exact same time Microsoft started pushing Copilot so hard, but wherever all those cycles are going it seems to be inside some deceptively named system service. Or maybe Task Manager just hides it.

A panel from a He-Man comic. Fisto is on the ground. He-Man says, Fisto, my friend Are you all right? Here, let me help you to your feet." Fisto says, "I fisted hard, He-Man, but I could not fist them all."

This collection is incomplete without...

"Block early and often" is great until it becomes a faction fight. I think the last several people who blocked me did so purely because of who I follow. No interactions, not even any threads where we've replied separately, haven't said anything recently to pierce their thin skins. Just tribalism.

The computer I bought *less than a month ago* is already 15% more expensive, and I just read that 100% of Western Digital's hard drive production for the next year has already been claimed by the hyperscalers. It's getting ridiculous.

Every so often, I see a post or video about how extremely safe nuclear waste storage is. I guess that's true *as long as operators follow the rules*. OTOH there have been dozens (hundreds?) of incidents where they didn't. So how safe is nuclear power *really*, in the real world of real humans?

I'd start calling it that, but apparently it's the Kushner administration since Jared took over the operation from Jeff.

Street sign for the intersection of Blue Sky Drive and Middlesex Turnpike. In the background is an almost-finished new three story apartment building.

They even have their own street.

A sign for the "Blue Sky Center" showing current residents - Broadcom, Broad Institute, Myomo, Oracle, Stantec. In front of it is a large and dirty snow pile.

This is from the old Sun/Oracle campus in Burlington MA, near MITRE. Every time I've gone by there since the name change, I've thought I should get a picture for here ... so I finally did.

Like moderation of posts, moderation of list names and descriptions is ridiculously random and more than a bit biased. I had some of mine hidden because I used words like "stupid". Meanwhile, people have put me on "Blue MAGA Dipshits" and "Likes Child Slaughter" and worse. Reported. Zero action.

"Are we the baddies?"

"Thanks, Citizens United"

"⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛⬛⬛!"

Saw the term “malignant pacifism” for the first time, and oh my god is that a great descriptor for the Democratic Party.

Threads is *full* of support for @mychal3ts.bsky.social and here ... crickets. Bsky, you really need to raise your humanity game. Mychal, you're amazing and I'm glad you're here.

An old man who forgot to shave this morning, holding up a pair of socks that say "asshole brother".

It's me. I'm the asshole brother.

So many people seeing this, it *must* be deliberate. Either the bsky devs are super-boosting their own fetishes, or they're deliberately foisting this on anyone whose opinions they don't like. Leaning toward the second theory.

I have a list for the unlabeled-NSFW creeps BTW.

Say it with fungus. 🤣

So no, I'm not giving up my gummies any time soon. Sleep deprivation can also cause psychosis, and so far those gummies are *by far* the most effective sleep aid I have.

I had occasion to look up information on cannabis-induced psychosis. AFAICT, it does exist and has a pretty basic dose/response curve. Cases are practically nonexistent below ~100mg THC/day (4-5x what I ever take for sleep) and then about 3% of folks are susceptible (due to genetics).

🎶 Whoa, black butter, bam-ba-lam. 🎶

Sorry, just popped into my head when you said "beurre noir".

If that's not called Emo Hawk I'll be disappointed.

"Some day, everyone will have been against this."

Eight people have died in dealings with ICE so far in 2026. These are their stories The high-profile killings of Minneapolis residents Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good are only two among many

Eight. At least. Otherwise, 💯 agree.

Context: my stomach is still feeling "kerflukey" - my wife's term, maybe a New England-ism. BRAT diet, waffles are pretty close to toast so they seemed like the safest option.

I had waffles for dinner. Bring it, Bluesky.
