Underappreciated verse

This probably won't be the experiment we want. There's already been almost 10 years of development in activity pub as a decentralized internet protocol. bluesky decided to start from scratch, rather than on the work of others. If every company does this then it's just a new centralized internet.

"In Defense of Plants" is very good, i especially enjoy their episode on the Gilboa Fossil Forest.

"The Women's War" very good intro for rojava

"Srsly Wrong" did a great interview of archeologist Paulette Steves on her career leading to her book "indigenous paleolithic of the western hemisphere"

Picture of egg drop contender on sidewalk. Many colors spattered about. No one survived.

Egg drop

Image crisply capturing a green couch and a pile of laundry. Arm and hand extended out towards a cat who is in action attack mode such that their appearance is blurry and clearly overenthusiastic about their capture.

Such a good boi

... that box worked

If you see this post any photo in your gallery with no explanation.

This is blue sky, not mushrooms 🙄

Is "Brazil" and "Hudsucker Proxy" the same movie?

I'm pretty sure Heisenberg was talking about me

Persuasion versus bread versus water? Water drives most the arrow of History.

Panoramic shot of natural reservoir in Western Oregon. The sun sets over the hills. Lush green trees and short grass line the walking perimeter. There are leveled mudlines that look like stairs, resulted from the rising and lowering water line. In the immediate foreground there are stumped trees all of a dark brown or gray. There are no people in any direction.

Off to Kindle NW. Go make fires and spin friends!

This is sad but not particularly surprising. Relationships are often reduced to fulfillment of gender roles & those roles grant more economic protection to men and fewer protections for women. If rolls cannot be fulfilled then it violates the terms of the arrangement. Those more protected can leave.

Very conflicted about the use of asshole in a negative connotation

IDOP has an episode on the gilboa Fossil Forest that is a forest that started where New York is and ended in part of China, back from when those two pieces of land were touching, well before pangea.

SRSLY Wrong
cool people who did cool stuff
History of the second world war
In defense of plants (deep nerd, but not politics or history)

Mine too 😁

I changed my display name on 𝛘 to be my blue sky handle, and for the first time since I have had a 𝛘 account I was immediately required to verify that I was human with a picture captcha

Yeah. I would think that after 17 years and the opportunity to build anything that you want... it's just a little surprising that the project is identically skinned.

I wonder if making this look exactly like 𝛘 is a tactic to get people comfortable with not using 𝛘.
