Folks, if you're in the "Discover" feed & you respond to someone you don't follow and have never interacted with to argue with or "correct" them -- don't be surprised if that earns you an instant block.

bluesky has four types of users

Nobody knows what goaltender interference is. Nobody. It is entirely a vibes-based penalty.

Watching the Rangers vs. Kings. Former Ranger whose career pre-dated my hockey fandom by decades apparently died a few days ago. They showed his family sitting in the stands. The words "and Ron's girlfriend, Sarah Palin" were a bit of a surprise.

@mattdspry.bsky.social I know you're in Plymouth, but I'm wondering if you know if there's a group of Cornish speakers/learners in Cardiff? One of the women in my online class lives there & would love to be able to connect with others.

Ah. This is how the vocal version of Take the A Train is *supposed* to sound. (Thinking on it, I most likely heard this at some time when I was a child, but it'd escaped my memory.)

TIL there are lyrics to "Take the A Train".

This website is acting very weird today.

One of the stupider things that I sometimes have to fight the urge to buy is one of those periodic table thingummies where they have little tiny samples of some of the elements inside a block of acrylic.

Needed water and a waste drop, so stopped for lunch and parkup The Carpenters Arms, Dale Abbey, UK to finish the weekend. £10/night. Happened to be a vintage car and bike meet up too 🚐🚙🏍️ #Vanlife #motorhomelife

It's pathetic enough on its own that a mother would turn to AI to answer this, but almost every 10 year old girl on the planet could be described as "empathetic, creative and an animal lover". It's almost the default setting for 10 year old girls. That, to me, takes this to another level of sad.

I want to feel sorry for this guy, but residual resentment over the way almost every comp sci major I knew at Iowa State looked down his nose at humanities majors is making that difficult. And it's "wealthiest and most intelligent", Marsh. Not "most wealthy and intelligent".

Well? Do you?

I miss Belligerent Bill. 😭

The Government™ has made an ad about all these protests happening around the world, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Lena Dunham is a fucking idiot and I would love it if the world would allow me to forget that she exists.

Lol @redoverred.bsky.social. Look at what was at the top of my Facebook memories for today.

I'm surely not the only Iowegian who has this problem, am I?

Welp. Out of seven sports contests that I had an interest in today, only 2 went the way I wanted them to go.

Am I the only Kraken fan who's concerned about Dunnsson? They don't seem to have themselves sorted out yet.

NOBODY -- not even people who like the Cheesecake Factory -- considers the Cheesecake Factory to be fine dining. I don't know who the fuck Steve Guest is, but it cracks me up when these over-privileged dumbasses pretend they have their finger on the pulse of Average America.

Gotta hand it to Yams, he's playing well for the Mammoth & I'm not sure he'd have ever had this much of a chance if he were still a Kraken.

Feels a bit like the wheels are coming off in this game.

LITTLE CAT!!!!!!

Lol. The Rapids City Rush pxp guy keeps referring to the Mavs' last few seasons as "their Reign of Terror".

I just saw the Leafs-Oilers score.

Phip Waugh is just a phenomenal name.

The FloHockey website is unmitigated garbage.

Hey, @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social. Fuck this right-wing bullshit.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.

Barbara the Younger turned out way better than you ever could have expected her to.

Sorry, I can't reply to you because of the OP's settings, but the thing is -- he *didn't* put his name on it. It's from "The Secret Life of Men" and the person whose name is on the column is just the person he told it to.

I can't wait 'til the talk about "You Can See Everything" dies down. I'm really sick of seeing that bitch's face in my TL.

I've been trying to post a cute, uplifting Winnie the Pooh video that I saved a year or so ago and it keeps telling me the file type isn't supported (IDK why -- it's an mp4). So have Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen saying his name, instead. He's almost as cute and uplifiting.

I'm fairly certain nobody who follows me is going to disagree with this and I probably don't need to say it, but I am going to anyway. Preemptive pardons should not, cannot be a thing.

Someone tell me I don't need these, please. They're tempting the hell out of me.

Hilarious. TIL that my elementary school is on the National Register of Historic Places. (Someone lives in it now. It stopped being a school 20 years ago.)

I got ridiculously lucky with the MapTap today. Two places I've been to and background to give me an educated stab at the other 3. Usually, there's at least 1 that's just a wild guess. www.maptap.gg October 24 100🎯 100🎯 98🔥 100🎯 94🏅 Final score: 978

I suppose the YT algorithm isn't entirely wrong when it puts this in my "Recommended" column at 3 am.

The one thing I don’t like about the Firebirds’ broadcast is the “music” that plays during ad breaks.
