Honestly the party should also be helping spearhead the preservation of government data, should they ever intend to be in power again. Host it elsewhere, make it available. Show the value of a party that doesn't reject science/data.

This is my best intro guide to alt text for images that don't have text or aren't entirely text. Alt text for images of text is a different beast entirely.

Great idea from @cherijacobus.bsky.social

Pete is fantastic. I will tune in and I'm guessing a ton of others will too. I'd much prefer to get my news from him than from the legacy media that is failing us (and each other).

I believe in America First and I treasure my privacy and freedom. Here's why I'm ok with a South African trolling through my personal information.

Behind the chaos, a brilliant and savvy plan to end democracy in America.

Worried about a fascist takeover? This sheet-pan paella will make you feel like you’re in 1930s Spain.

The simple reason kids are picky eaters is: drop a random adult off in literally any wilderness and see how long it takes em to eat poison.

Being extremely stubborn about eating only what you *know* to be edible, is a survival trait.

At the same time, those picky eaters exert selective pressure on agriculture to remove existing toxins.

You can thank countless generations of picky eaters for solanaceae being edible and not poisonous.

“Holy infant so tender and mild” will never not be funny, don’t write lyrics when you’re hungry.

Happy Festivus everyone. Always amazed this crazy episode birthed a real celebration that seems to be enjoyed by so many around the world. So may your feats be strong and your grievances few. Enjoy.

So, I send you an abundance of magically magenta colored skies. Thank you so much for being my friend and ally here. In this digital domain.

A text block that reads: The online world has become so hostile to users that Bluesky’s pitch of ‘here is a straightforward feed of text-based user-generated posts that we promise not to mess with’ is revelatory. Its scaling model and raison d’être are a very rejection of the platforms that have colonized the rest of our digital lives, and relentlessly commodified them. No wonder everyone seems to be rooting for its success, even if there are, pointedly, no guarantees those ideals will remain in place.

Being deliberate and persistent in blocking obnoxious, cruel, disagreeable people on this site is very similar to giving your community herd immunity to a disease. The more people that block a gross person, the fewer people in your network will have to endure their bile.

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.

That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

Yet another plea to people who are using or following people off follow-farming hashtags like #NoDemUnder1K, #NoDemUnder5K, #BlueCrew, #FBR, etc etc: please do not do that, it's how disinformation operations work. I'm already seeing accounts in those hashtags that are likely disinformation ops. 1/

Right. Here's your to-do list for the next two months to put you in the best possible position to survive what's coming:

1. Renew your passport (or apply for a passport) this week even if it is not expiring in the next four years. Renewing early will give you the maximum 10-year validity period.

Women deserve better.

Janeway, like all of us, sits at her desk, staring intently at a small device in her hands.

Three panels. This is taking place in some sort of kitchen. You can see a dishwasher and many plants. There is a plant that has been knocked completely out of its thing and is just like hovering in the air over the counter and the dishwasher. And the thing that changes is just a black cat looking at the plant, then the cat looking away and staring off into space for an indeterminate period of time, and finally the cat spiking the camera directly and giving us a great big smile, as if he has considered what has happened and is glad of what he has done
