Buffy is so old there were only 103 named elements, we’re at 118 now.

(Yes I pause every show that has a periodic table to see if its period accurate)

A master of dark comedy. Time to dance the Wiener Schnitzel Walz as we hold the remains of Tom Lehrer in our hand. Thanks for the many laughs. πŸ’”πŸ™

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids β€” but also endangering Jews across the globe.

I’m seeing many reposts of Donald Trump’s demented distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein mess about Rosie O’Donnell. What I’m not seeing is her sassy response. Here it is:

Honest and useful startup advice.

Building and running your own business can be very satisfying, but not necessarily mythological. There are lessons to be learned and I definitely recognise the myths that @lisaforte.bsky.social is debunking here. Good read! πŸ‘‡

This post ought to go viral. Not because it is mine - obviously πŸ˜‰ - but because the topic is disinformation.

The thing is - you should actually watch the talk before sharing it. Just to verify. And because it is good! And then share it.

I follow @katestrasdin.bsky.social because I learn something new from every post and I take delight in the wonderful descriptions. 😍

Most of all, with all the bad news, hate and destruction going on, each post is a moment of enjoying the beauty that humans are also capable of creating. πŸ™

Greta Thunberg has more guts, integrity and class than Lindsay Graham. And quite a few other politicians too (not only in the USA).

The world is not a happy place in 2025! 😟

It's a tough call, but I find it hard to disagree. I am still with Leonard Cohen, though, in the feeling that cheerfulness keeps breaking through. Nonetheless, hacktivism is not what it is and there is much to be concerned about.

Great talk πŸ‘‡
