Thanks for sharing. Intriguing images.

You’re the US Marines band at the White House and Mavis Staples 👑 walks into the room so you start playing "I’ll Take You There" and this happens👇

The Costco sample lady called spanakopita 'spankopedia' and I'm still disappointed it turned out to be a spinach thing

BREAKING NEWS:

Syrian state TV reports that the Assad regime has fallen in Aleppo.

Reports say Assad has fled to Moscow.

This is a sad day for Putin puppets.

when i worked at circle k we had to lock up the beers at night because they came to life once

Tammy Duckworth on Tulsi Gabbard: "I think she's compromised ... Russian controlled media called her a Russian asset."

To be fair she does look like a chicken.

Once again weeping that I can never create something as funny as "1 day blinding stew"

Check out the book Do What You Are. It helped me with career direction.

The Pale Saints should have been a bigger deal, though teenage me was glad few knew about them.

Yessssss

Getting lots of followers who look like scam accounts/bots posing as interested females. Any suggestions how to stop them?

So so so much better than Twitter.

the best part about bluesky is that, unlike twitter, it isn’t putting annoying bull shit designed to piss me off in front of me every 3 minutes

Apparently the answer is Jamiroquai

The Onion Buys Alex Jones’s Infowars Out of Bankruptcy The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

Not @theonion.com:

@theonion.com buys InfoWars.

I miss early Wilco.

What keyboard shortcut do you think more people should know about?

I'll start: CTRL + SHIFT + T to re-open the browser tab you just closed

Couldn’t agree more. Such a relief from the doom fest twitter has become.

Hi new Bluesky users. Semi-annual reminder to follow my favorite part of this website: the Gift Links feed.

It shows any free link to an otherwise paywalled article that’s shared by anyone on Bluesky. It has legit changed how I read the news.

For the newbies, one of the great features on here is that when someone has tried to quote-post dunk on you, hit the … and select “detach quote” and nobody will see the post or who wrote it and they will look like an asshole. (Blocking works like this too.)

It looks like a lot of the serious issues have already been covered by other Starter Packs, so I threw together some of the funny and quirky big accounts at the old place:

Tip for new BlueSky users: the "nuclear" block.

Blocking a user here is far more effective than it ever was on Twitter. It rips out all connection to replies, quotes, everything. They are erased from your life.

It's beautiful and I recommend using it generously.

Enjoyed "Will and Harper," but the way it downplays how ugly their trip to a Texas steakhouse got feels really resonant this week. letterboxd.com/daveweigel/f...

A quick note to all the NewSkys: there really isn’t algorithm here. We depend on each other to spread the word. So if you want others to see something, repost it. Liking something adds it to your feed but doesn’t surface it for others.
