My car dealership kept bugging me about a recall fix but it looked like a bot so I asked it for a haiku about the recall, which it dutifully sent me.

Gas prices go up, people are going to be madge again that no one is doing enough with EVs and renewables. This happens every time. No one wants to put in the work when gas is cheap and they get mad that no one was hedging against expensive gas. Again.

you guys feeling ok over there?

Every time I turn on the internet we're shooting someone new.

I’m never going to buy a console. If Sony and Nintendo don’t want me to play their games, that’s fine with me.

Psychology says people who don’t maintain many close friends often learned independence too early I remember being twelve and standing on a chair in our kitchen, trying to reach the top shelf. There was a step stool somewhere, but it felt faster not to look for it. Faster to climb. Faster to stret...

Psychology has a name for this pattern: hyperindependence. It often forms when someone has to self-manage too early, whether emotionally, practically, or both. Independence becomes a strength — but also a shield.

We shouldn't have to declare for a party to vote in a primary either. We should get the list of everyone running and be able to vote for them that way. There are a LOT of things wrong with the system.

I spent a couple of long nights at the dinner table in the 80s staring at cold cooked zuccini or goulash with giant tomato chunks. There is shit I won't eat til this day. Cooked green peppers is another. And we were foodstamps poor most of my early life. My brother is the same way.

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

I know I'm not the same as a government contract but I'm actually tempted to sub to anthropic in my personal life, just to be fucking supportive of something that doesn't want to profit from evil.

you forgot, any phone not using ios is using google's android. How is that any better?

I use some custom Ublock Origin filters that gives me just a feed of my contacts and gets rid of ads and filters anything with "sponsored" or whatever the keywords are for shit no one ever asked for. Sadly doesn't stop contacts from promoting crud or writing long ai slop, but it's better.

Hot take, why would anyone actually watch any state of the union speech? They publish the text anyway if you actually care.

Absolutely insane story about a middle-aged woman from Hertfordshire who got arrested, shackled, and detained by ICE and held in a prison for eight weeks.... while on holiday... with a valid tourist visa... as she tried to leave the country.

University of North Texas Students Withdraw Thesis Shows, Citing Censorship It’s one of multiple actions in solidarity with artist Victor “Marka27” Quiñonez, whose exhibition of works critical of ICE violence was abruptly shuttered.

Graduate students in the MFA Studio Art program at the University of North Texas are withdrawing their thesis presentations in solidarity with artist Victor “Marka27” Quiñonez, whose exhibition at the school was abruptly cancelled.

Wicked is on that list. Wild. I don't think most kids would read it anyway because they probably think it's boring. Seems extreme to ban it.

I've never undestand the legality of a city council or other govt signing an NDA with a business when their responsibility is to their constituents.

Every time I look at the news I'm reading about Corecivic prisons. I guess it's time to start another list of banned investment orgs and comb through all my 401k mutual funds again. If there's anything LLM tools (AI) is good for, it's this kind of research.

If you're looking for ways to avoid walking to the end, I think you still have some shadowbringers role quest to finish. It's blocking teh lorez.

Great summary I was about to say the same. Vibe coding without clear requirements would have burned it down faster is the only diff.

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Tamer Nahed 𓂆🇵🇸 @Tamer_Alnoaizy BlueSky is one of the worst platforms I have ever dealt with. Within seconds of creating a second account, after my first one was shut down just two days after it was created, my account was closed again. This happened despite the fact that I hadn’t posted anything or followed anyone. I was only in the process of adding a profile photo, yet I received an email claiming that my account was “spam” and that it was “causing harm.” What kind of logic is this? The painful truth is that the account was shut down the moment it became clear it was created from inside Gaza. It seems we are no longer allowed to write or speak about what is happening to us here. They are not afraid of content itself, but of our voices and the reality we carry with us. Millions are spent to silence these voices and to erase the truth. I am exhausted by this platform and by how our photos and videos, which document real suffering, are treated as “violations of community standards,” as if pain itself has become a crime. What is happening is not simple moderation or policy enforcement. It is an attempt to erase our existence and bury the truth. And honestly, this is shameful and unbearably painful. [the original poster has included two screenshots showing the email from bluesky admin informing him that his account has been taken down for being 'spammy, inauthentic or disruptive to users'. it's the standard boilerplate you get when they take moderation action.] 2:45 PM · Feb 10, 2026 https://twitter.com/Tamer_Alnoaizy/status/2021234178461704409

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.
