2026 Book Thread! Going to try to put down a little note about the books I read this year.

I got a support email that this is fixed supposedly so that's good

Mobile web bsky (I'm using Firefox) has experienced some significant regression - I am getting lots of blank space available above the most recent post in my feed. This is also true of the settings hamburger menu.

This is an American 287g participant's version of shooting and crying. I don't think we should be listening to how torn these people are about all of this. They were given a gun, the badge and the public trust and this is what they have done regardless of their inner thoughts.

Wow this looks fucking siiiiick. Yes trailer, development assets, yadda yadda don't care. I'd be so down for an espionage style thing. @mrose.ink and @evanbernick.bsky.social who I was in the replies of earlier

me: I need to convert some absolutely fucked up audio files to something that literally any program other than this proprietary player can open. *spends a long time trying with various free softwares, absolutely nothing works* never should have doubted ffmpeg. dead simple, no fuss.

I am struck by the deep humanity displayed by the fellow detainees who carried him to the car when ICE decided to inflict a final cruelty on his way out. No amnesty, as @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social would say.

God this would have been so sick. Kind of crazy Bioware is just gone.

Realizing I am getting tired of the reflexive leftist disparagement of 50501/No Kings types. Just tired and ultimately feels petty and sometimes insecure. I have literally asked some people "post cadre under arms" more than once in the last week.

I will say it is not all doom and gloom outside of the volleyball either. I also won the egg toss at a block party yesterday with an intrepid catching partner.

have been clinging to the fact that I get to play volleyball today after what I can only describe as HELL WEEK for reasons personal, professional, and social. dog bless sports and physical exertion

Playing 3 hours of volleyball and reffing for 2 more hours might not have fixed me completely but it's definitely part of solution

Look, I'm not trying to be unsympathetic to the politicians in the article. But non-pols get these threats daily. Woman got doxxed and their kids threatened for disclosing they were harassed by a serial predator. I got an artisanal hand-written death threat mailed to my apartment. Deal with it.
