That is utterly gorgeous.

Dr. Frankenstein was the original Tech Bro, creating something just because he could without considering whether he should.

Looks awesome. Good for you.

Why would we try it? Because we liked honey and all the other sauces sounded or looked gross?

I think @theradr.bsky.social explained it best when she said that the excuse of "rooting out antisemitism" for violent state action is just another way of setting up Jews to take the blame for the excesses of the powerful (in this case, violent Islamophobia)

Why it should always and forever be STE*A*M. Can’t get to Star Trek without The Arts.

The White White East Wing has a big gaping hole.

the year is 2030. the white house remains half demolished because president trump refused to pay construction workers and musk gutted government spending. two thieves sneak into the white house using a truck mounted ladder and steal the constitution

This is great both in its specific arena but also in thinking about work -- longtime readers know I proselytize about "notebook time", which is not only time for just thinking, but I specifically do it in a way that creates a little friction, forces concentration.

I feel nothing for the White House, either. I don't actually "see" the White House in that photo. I see the significance of the moment.

How do we have a billion dating apps but not one that finds local dnd groups 😂

Then you might enjoy @johnrogers.bsky.social's posts earlier today about his security research for the TV show "Leverage."

Two screenshots of Parker from Leverage decorating a Christmas tree with millions of dollars worth of jewelry that she stole in heists.

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

Any DJs playing this at swing dances? Makes me want to Lindy Hop.

Disabled folks feeling guilty for not protesting today: *it is not your fault* that organizers don’t make an effort to make protests accessible and don’t encourage masking

And despite what folks on Bluesky would have you believe, there are MANY ways to resist and protests don’t have to be your way

All you have to do is look at the first post of all of these accounts to see THEY ARE HERE TO TROLL. Don’t take the bait.

This is a very good point about DHS. They direct harassment campaigns on Twitter using quote-tweets.

A bunch of government accounts joined Bluesky today, and it seems very likely they intend to trawl the timeline for statements they can spin as inflammatory or insidious. I’m denying them access to my posts, and I suggest you do the same. Here’s how to do it in one click.

"the treachery of images" but instead of saying "ceci n'est pas une pipe" it says "bitch i might be."

a fake captcha where the pipe from "the treachery of images" is broken up across an 8 by 8 grid. the text above it reads "select all squares with a pipe. if there are none, click skip"

Mayhap it means being hot while doin' crimes.

I request an exception for Michelle Buteau's phrase "fatty baddies and oddy bodies."

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Yes Spirit Halloween did have a smaller crow mask that actually fit my face properly, but I preferred the "Nightmare crow straight out of Jim Henson's Creature Shop" vibe instead of "Sexy Crow," which incidentally had a tiny delicate owl beak instead of a proper corvid one. Pffft.

I considered creating a Halloween spooky times name like the rest of you, but I think I'm already good.

Did she hear about the "emergency naked bike ride" protest?

A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, a screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

Spooky bird stories. Last year's Halloween comic.
