@hacks4pancakes but but but. best country in the world 😂

The ones you want to reach don't respond to information (you can't see doctors because of wait lists!)(no one has aircon!)(that country doesn't have freedom of speech)(they don't let you drive cars)(no one is allowed to have guns, it's […]

I'm noodling the idea to do everyday carry, antifascist edition. What do y'all think? What would you suggest?

In May, I published a deep dive on a Pakistani firm that had just been charged w/ shipping fentanyl analogs to the US and was behind a sprawling empire of scam ghostwriting, app and logo design companies that were spending millions on Google ads to promote their scam businesses […]

@xgranade I was writing about quantum computing years ago at wired... I am genuinely confused that people are apparently saying it would be a general use computer? I suppose why should I be by now... Once again this era is proving my career was useless.

🦝 So you've made a great program that pulses all over the paid alternatives, great, now for the love of god please delegate the naming of that software to someone Normal so you don't end up calling it something like Kalculator

Free software people I am begging you to stop naming your software

SCAM ALERT

An elderly adult may go up to you and pinch your nose without your consent then claim to have stolen your nose

Do not attempt to pay them to reacquire your nose

They do not have your nose

Their supposed proof is just their thumb in between two of their fingers

Do not engage them […]

Is it wrong to be rooting for the lone star tick?

@trabex we're not in a good place right now, but it's important to own what we chose and why if we want to get better.

People are losing their shit over a proposed 2% tax on the wealthy in NYC.

This era of America is going to age like milk.

@Lazarou Weird, toxic, and it seems like they have no idea how unhappy they are. It's so cursed.

Unironically, I'm so happy I was born poor rather than born into this https://www.thedailybeast.com/prince-andrew-and-donald-trumps-sick-py-conversations-revealed/

@ApostateEnglishman honestly i suspect they're a bot, or a human that spends way to much time chatting with bots. These days I'm pretty sure there are a lot of bots on bsky.

@jorgecandeias but not amazingly. They definitely get more from other networks. Nobody is bending politics here, and they're trading state secrets on discord, as is traditional

@jorgecandeias yeah it's a double digit team and I know 1.

@jorgecandeias very likely but there's just not as much money to be made here, not as much reasons to run ops

@jorgecandeias I have been told that the chance of Jay listening to me is zero, so I'm just not going to worry about it too much. They've got some runway, but I suspect after that it'll explode a couple times and die.

@jorgecandeias I also think they may have a bigger bot/interference problem than anyone realizes, but that's based on vibes not data

@jorgecandeias I've been talking to them about this problem since the beginning but I mainly know one guy there 😁

@jorgecandeias there's something to that but honestly bsky is special. (Because it's bigger and got a very specific seed population)

Guys guys I found the platonic ideal of a Bluesky post

Picture of a black T-shirt with a “Respect my trans homies or I’m going to identify as a fuckin’ problem” in white text, separated by a band in the colours of the Trans flag.

New T-shirt who dis?

@xdydx i should really try pitching them again. it's been a long long time.

Occasionally I go out onto the wider web and get reminded that I'm still extremely unpersoned.

journo adjacent people, I am currently looking for a place where I can publish a piece on how journalism was wrecked and and get som eyes on it.

Anyway, if you have any ideas, lmk

@dymaxion let's not dismiss it out of hand, some of us are real fans of the Fallout franchise

@Techaltar there's still a part of me that's like, it's a regressive tax on your own people. Go ahead I guess and we'll not do that seems to be a better outcome.

Sarah Taber (@sarahtaber@mastodon.online) Attached: 1 image So they found a 125,000 yr old Neanderthal fat rendering plant & I have thoughts. Knowing that they loved saturated fat SO MUCH that they industrialized to get as much of it as humanly possible? Makes me feel seen, heard, supported, etc https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adv1257

This thread is so wonderful and so... human. Deep time human.

I do love us sometimes.
