An hour apart. Perhaps we should stop treating the mindless weathervane spinning in the breeze as if it has a clear strategic direction we can ascertain.

This is how I access Bluesky:

Certain types of sea urchins will pick up a shell with their tube feet and ‘wear’ it, with a behavior known as “covering reaction”, mainly because they shy away from light. So aquarium enthusiasts 3D-printed tiny hats and they actually wear them.

nobel prize. right fucking now. im serious.

Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite

Psycho Killer

Some of my favorites have already been mentioned, but I don't think anyone's said Dazed and Confused yet, and that one's a banger.

A patch of snow on asphalt driveway with a foot for scale.

Currently 69 degrees F, last gasp of stubborn snow just barely hanging on.

Love it!

Right is one of my all-time favorite Bowie tracks.

Also love Win, the title track, Fascination, and his ATU cover.

Pale Shelter
Change
Mad World

Rag Doll

Led Zeppelin 💯

Or "other people" period, in Trump's case. Everyone else is an actor in his personal drama.

Faulkner.

Very brave of you to go public! 🫡

OMG! 😂

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

Ohhh good to know, thanks!

You know the look of glee a meteorologist has on their face when talking about a big storm on the nightly news? Pete Hegseth seems to have the same look when talking abt war. It’s creepy as hell that he seems to relish “death and destruction all day long.”

He's like a parody of himself (except not funny).

I don't want "smart" appliances, I want dumb appliances. Appliances that that plug into the wall and nothing else. Appliances that don't need subscriptions or accounts. Appliances that do just what they were originally intended to do, w/out feeding my life data into a massive surveillance pipeline.

😅 yep that line gets some play!

What’s the most random/obscure thing you quote?

Not necessarily obscure, but I quote just about every line from Shoop by Salt n Pepa at some point or another in any given week.

Pretty much all of them in the pre-internet days! 😂

As a card carrying member of that generation, I'll add:

Video Killed the Radio Star (of course!) by the Buggles
Take on Me by A-ha (iconic!)
Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood (Frankie Say Relax!)

Loved the first season and this reminds me I need to get around to watching the second soon.
