CamannWordsmith is finally flying the blue skies

And most importantly - don't buy things from them, and make sure they know why.

They only want one thing in this world - let's make sure they get less of it.

ugh shit's gettin messy and reality is getting harder to parse

Welcome to Bluesky, where we block early and often. We are free speech relativists here. No one is entitled to our time and attention. We try our best to protect our own sanity and protect others from harassment and abuse.

Be weird. Be kind. Be vigilant.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

Also, ask yourself how Mamdani must feel. For months, that man had the leadership of the party acting like Republicans, racism and Islamophobia everywhere...and then SHE, who has worked tirelessly to make our world a more cruel, dangerous, cold place, gets invited to the tent?

The comments are screaming about this being taken out of context, so I looked that up - the argument is basically "He said it in Florida, at a fundraiser. Being a Dem in Florida is HARD."

I don't care.

As someone said, "big tent" doesn’t mean invite the arsonist inside and give her the matches.

Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Riker is sitting in quarters, probably in November but we cannot be sure. Some nice gentle orange mood lighting glows in from the future space window. That's about all that's happening visually. Closed caption reads, "The beard is an ancient and proud tradition."

Use her voice, but don’t be confused about who MTG is

It really is inevitable. There’s nothing white America loves more than redemption of white villains, and the villains don’t actually have to do anything redeeming to get it. The act of deeming them redeemed is taken as redemptive in and of itself.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is still a terrible person.

(If you're me, you also screw up 100% of the synth-sax solos you DO play)

Jeff Bezos received a quarter of a million from his parents in 1995 to start his online bookstore idea.

I think a lot about how Starlink satellites have changed the night sky for all humans for an unknown amount of time and one guy was just…allowed to do that. To our whole sky??

And they never change. Remember when Liz Cheney did ONE good thing in her career - just one - and some Dems were talking about her running for President AS a Dem?

Absolutely bananas. A single act does not undo a lifetime of great harm, and it would be awesome if we could stop pretending it does.

Today I learned I'm this type of Gen X. I loved all of those things.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen.

Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

Quality Community Note on Troy Nehls.

No one should have to face such threats.

It would’ve been nice if Greene had realized this before she amplified and endorsed calls for executing Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.

AI Is Hollowing Out Higher Education Olivia Guest & Iris van Rooij urge teachers and scholars to reject tools that commodify learning, deskill students, and promote illiteracy.

“While the AI industry claims its models can “think,” “reason,” and “learn,” their supposed achievements rest on marketing hype and stolen intellectual labor. In reality, AI erodes academic freedom, weakens critical reading, and subordinates the pursuit of knowledge to corporate interests.”

Trump: I had an MRI and the result was outstanding.

Reporter: Was it your brain?

Trump: I have no idea what they analyzed, but whatever they analyzed, they analyzed it well.

genuinely can't tell which part might be funnier, MTG slowly putting together the dots on this, now, at the end of all things, or the possibility that she thinks that nobody else has already

My Gods, this dude. Every single time, absolute perfection.

youtu.be/XZx3drPveI8?...

uh oh

Also - it's not a chatbot. You see their face. Hear their voice. Talk to them as if they're real.

But they're not. They're not the person you loved. They're not a person at all.

This is one of the most horrific things I've ever seen - an AI app that can pretend to be your deceased loved ones. Free now, but eventually switching to a monthly subscription fee.

Listen, I know I scream about AI a LOT...but we can't allow this, y'all. We CAN'T. Where do you imagine this leads?

The Nuzzi piece is an excellent realtime test of whether hacks can bring themselves to criticize the New York Times.

For Colleen Ballinger to suddenly reappear NOW, while the Epstein story is the main thing in the headlines, is absolutely wild.

A purple bag with the Pringles logo at the top. In the middle, is a bowl of steamed white rice, and below that is a tableau featuring red peppers, chopsticks, a thick brown sauce in a bowl, and 3 bubbly, airy chips

Pringles Select Szechuan BBQ (2007-circa 2011): Crispy, airy, rice chips coated in a dusting of bbq seasoning and Szechuan spice blend, noted for their strong heat. Part of Pringles "fancy" line, they were sold in bags rather than the traditional cans/stacks
