I am very on the fence about upgrading from a Pixel 8 to a Pixel 10 Pro, mostly for the much better camera. It's a good time: $300 sale, $250 tradein. Am I crazy? Talk me in or out of it. (I am firmly committed to Android and while I'm a little Samsung-curious, I've stuck with Pixel phones so far.)

Trump's embrace of Russia's invasion of Ukraine is very bad news, some of the worst we've heard in the past four weeks since he became president. His announcement came with several big lies, like Ukraine started the war. And folks just shrug. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

The generic male Facebook experience. Videos of a woman falling out of her dress and a male monkey masturbating. This kind of veiled sexuality is twisted and strange. I need to get myself on gay Facebook somehow. More vulgar, less fraught.

Sorry I don't post here, Mastodon is my regular. Thinking about automating crossposts from there to here. If you have a strong opinion either way let me know! (I guess bsky doesn't do polls?)

Bluesky sure wants to show me stuff I'm not interested in. Still no way to turn off retweets, right? Also it shows me replies to people I don't follow, which shows me a regular stream of people I know scolding people being dumb. I don't need to see the dumb.

I figured out how to get a handle based on my own domain name. Don't love how it displays but maybe this is unavoidable? It's nice you just need a passive TXT record to do this.

You are up to date.
