I am apparently an outlier in terms of how I am meticulous in backing up all my shit in at least two different places, one always local. My family benefits but they are not like me. Note to self export my Bluesky account for backup.

A reminder, because it is almost that time of year: More children are killed by cars on Halloween than any other day of the year, by far. www.vox.com/future-perfe... If you're a parent, I hope you'll do what you can to keep kids safe. If you're driving on Saturday, PLEASE exercise extra caution.

I’m sorry to say but maybe Talarico and Turek are both just opportunistic politicians who’ve seen evidence that being pieces of shit bigots to trans folks will win them an election. This is what we get when we nominate for “electability” rather than values.

Watching CLONE WARS for the first time and the cockney meerkats who want to die are just so improbable. Like even in Star Wars, it’s like they definitely would have been wiped out centuries ago with bad ideas like they have.

Agree with this 100%. Preserve the memory of the horrors so they cannot repeat and grind everything else into dust.

I'm German and I 100% agree. Keeping concentration camps around as a warning makes sense. They were a place of horror and serve as a reminder of how cruel mankind can be. A teahouse of a dictator just shows his decadence. It isn't a warning. It's glamourisation.

Headed into NYC today to see an old friend and he texted this morning to cancel lunch because he doesn’t want to get me sick (end of a cold). We’re both gonna mask at the show (per usual). Just thoughtful in a way that people hardly ever are. 🫂

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It's 'buck naked' -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’ -It’s ‘toe the line'

Boomers are the most extractive generation in the history of the world. Disgusting.

The generation that got to buy cheap houses thanks to a postwar construction boom, then blocked new housing construction to juice their asset values is now whining that they have to pay taxes on their unearned wealth. Just breathtaking selfishness.

Scrappy McMustache, the third-string Brewers catcher who takes his salary in salted pork, has just hit a homer off a guy who makes $171,234 an inning

I have been taking my kid to the same church in the middle of the woods for his piano lessons for years and I am barred from sitting in on the lessons (good teacher) and there is no Internet but I found a live RJ45 jack last week and today I brought a travel router and now the posts follow me here!

Tired: Making up a lie that James Talarico was institutionalized. Wired: Having the Vice President of the United States call him a faggot.

JD Vance: "I love you too sir. In a totally platonic way, to be clear. I'm the vice president, not James Talarico."

The universe at large owes Howard Dean an apology and at least, like, an edible arrangement or something.

David Brooks is like Dead and Co. It's nice he's still doing it, and the stuff even sounds like it always did, but even his fans know he's irelevant.

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

The machine works well in some ways. It clearly needs better human security. When it does things that are illegal, the humans who keep it plugged in are at fault.

The machine did not "go rogue." The machine belongs to and is the responsibility of the people who own it. Hold those people accountable for their goddamn machine.

Is everybody around this guy micced up all the time?

Ken Paxton told Washington lobbyists he would support cuts to federal benefits according to leaked audio. "Making some reasonable cuts to mandatory spending — you’re gonna have to do it. Or there is no solution. That’s just the reality. We have to suck it up." www.texastribune.org/2026/10/08/k...
