@korpagget.bsky.social Thank for yet another beautiful album! Like the other ones, it found me at just the right time; it's inexplicably healing to listen to ❤️🩹
Keep doing what you're doing; I hope this post finds you - and catbeats - well.
@stoat.chat Hey! I came across Stoat today after looking for #privacy -respecting, #Discord alternatives. The branding looks on-point and I'd like to try it out, but I didn't find a pricing page or any info on how Stoat servers are funded.
What's y'all's plan to stay cash flow positive?
The FBI’s raid today on the home of @washingtonpost.com reporter @hannahnatanson.bsky.social is an alarming escalation in the Trump administration’s war on the press.
Watch @trevortimm.bsky.social explain how the DOJ is not only attacking the First Amendment but also ignoring federal law.

"Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear."
If you read anything today, make it this.

Ahhh, the first runny nose of the season 🤧
Apparently the White House posted this at some point last night and has since removed it.
You should take the time to read; it is deeply alarming. All the 🚩🚩🚩.
A few things that jumped off the screen at me...

Micro-blogging?
More like micro-flogging.
I bought a new game yesterday, Sprawl!
Probably won't be able to play it for 8-10 months, but I bought it.
Hundreds of dollars were spent on designing and refining the Webdings font.
And I just find that hilarious.
Lifelong Chrisitan here 👋🏼
The older I’ve gotten, the more I’ve realized just how much of a cheap prop Israel and the Bible are to dispensationalists and superseccionists.
A 🧵
But Gandalf ’s face was grave and sad, and bidding Beregond and Pippin to take Faramir into the Houses of Healing, he went up on to the walls nearby; and there like a figure carven in white he stood in the new sun and looked out. And he beheld with the sight that was given to him all that had befallen; and when E´ omer rode out from the forefront of his battle and stood beside those who lay upon the field, he sighed, and he cast his cloak about him again, and went from the walls. And Beregond and Pippin found him standing in thought before the door of the Houses when they came out. They looked at him, and for a while he was silent. At last he spoke. ‘My friends,’ he said, ‘and all you people of this city and of the Western lands! Things of great sorrow and renown have come to pass. Shall we weep or be glad? Beyond hope the Captain of our foes has been destroyed, and you have heard the echo of his last despair. But he has not gone without woe and bitter loss. And that I might have averted but for the madness of Denethor. So long has the reach of our Enemy become! Alas! but now I perceive how his will was able to enter into the very heart of the City. ‘Though the Stewards deemed that it was a secret kept only by themselves, long ago I guessed that here in the White Tower, one at least of the Seven Seeing Stones was preserved. In the days of his wisdom Denethor would not presume to use it to challenge Sauron, knowing the limits of his own strength. But his wisdom failed; and I fear that as the peril of his realm grew he looked in the Stone and was deceived: far too often, I guess, since Boromir departed. He was too great
to be subdued to the will of the Dark Power, he saw nonethe- less only those things which that Power permitted him to see. The knowledge which he obtained was, doubtless, often of service to him; yet the vision of the great might of Mordor that was shown to him fed the despair of his heart until it overthrew his mind.’ ‘Now I understand what seemed so strange to me!’ said Pippin, shuddering at his memories as he spoke. ‘The Lord went away from the room where Faramir lay; and it was only when he returned that I first thought he was changed, old and broken.’ ‘It was in the very hour that Faramir was brought to the Tower that many of us saw a strange light in the topmost chamber,’ said Beregond. ‘But we have seen that light before, and it has long been rumoured in the City that the Lord would at times wrestle in thought with his Enemy.’ ‘Alas! then I have guessed rightly,’ said Gandalf. ‘Thus the will of Sauron entered into Minas Tirith; and thus I have been delayed here. And here I shall still be forced to remain, for I shall soon have other charges, not Faramir only. ‘Now I must go down to meet those who come. I have seen a sight upon the field that is very grievous to my heart, and greater sorrow may yet come to pass. Come with me, Pippin! But you, Beregond, should return to the Citadel and tell the chief of the Guard there what has befallen.
While in the LOTR movies Denethor just randomly went crazy, that's not the whole story.
Denethor became a doomer. He spent all night scrolling through bad news on his magic device, because the Dark Lord only let him see bad news and not good, until he lost all hope and it broke him.
@nicolefv.bsky.social Watching the #MSBuild Agentic DevOps panel and I just wanted to say thank you for cutting straight through the bullshit. There need to be more voices like yours in tech.
"Very cool." I rolled my eyes, but I still chuckled. Bonus points for proper use of the word "literally". #msbuild #livestream
Ooooh, that's some nice packaging right there.
If I ever obtain ownership in a gym, I'm laser-aligning all the racks.
An update from Memphis:
* xAI is building a 2nd site that is going to use a jaw-dropping amount of power, triggering federal oversight by an agency being harmed by DOGE
* Local leaders and press aren't doing nearly enough to address concerns

For those skeptical, like me, The Residence (Netflix) is totally all it's cracked up to be. Great acting, casting, characters, direction, and writing. Very clever and humorous.
Glad you're on bluesky, dude! I don't login to IG and I've long since deleted Twitter.
I've probably said this before but you're one of my favorite multi-disciplinary artists. Looking forward to whatever else you come up with.
Final run of merrrrch?
😅😅
@snowdrama.bsky.social Hey, I came across a thread you made on the Zola forum. Just wanted to say that you sharing how you were doing things helped me a LOT. I was finally able to use the URL format I wanted. Thanks!
@mwl.io Good $TIME_OF_DAY to you, sir. @bobdoto.bsky.social is an author looking for Amazon alternatives and I thought about BookFunnel which I only know as a consumer of RYOMS.
I don't know all of Bob's concerns, but wanted to "make the introduction".
Before I forget, check out Book Funnel. I've used it as a consumer, not an author. Will check to see if the author has a bsky and I can loop him in.
So glad for you two ☺️🥹
I love my Field Notes. @ismh86.net turned me on to them over a decade ago and carrying one with me everywhere I go has significantly improved my life.
If you're like me and get uneasy with dog-eared notebooks, I can recommend the Bellroy cover.

What I really want to know is: who is actually sitting down on those ice cold, tile benches in the shower?
Ticketmaster requiring me to download an app to get my tickets is one of the most evil things out there, and should 1000% be illegal.
