I saw it with one of my kids and a friend of his. We all loved it, and the message was spot on. Fight for what you believe in, but also remember we are all in this together.

I think it is like a duck call. You have to go whenever someone says the word. You must share the good word of laserdiscs with the world!

I mean, I get it. But I’m all for more people having access to indie movies. AMC in highlands ranch is also gets most of the small stuff. Strange and not my favorite way to see them, but pretty damn convenient.

Bsky Dreams A new way to Bluesky.

Have you ever wanted to scroll videos posted to Bluesky as if it were TikTok or see a feed of Images only as if it were old school Instagram? I made both features of Bsky Dreams. Check it out!

This is the right line of thinking. If bad AI usage is the Grammar Police and has the soul of middle management, we are going to see a lot more AI usage in middle management and in the place of actual critique and idea generation.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Bsky Dreams A BlueSky client built for people who want more from their Bluesky experience.

I really love using my new Bluesky app. It makes me want to build community and dig into conversations far more than the default app. I've already added it to my home screen and removed the regular app as my default workflow. Hooray for making things you want to exist! https://bskydreams.com

Fair. I will never understand it. Not until the day I die, how this is a better alternative for anyone.

I may be wrong, but isn’t that what the FDA is for? Like, don’t we already have an approval process for food?

That’s a pretty strong question you’ve got there.

I am glad that there is at least some integrity amongst congressional staff. More stories like this of people standing up to authoritarian overreach, please!

The MVP for my super secret Bluesky project is now live at bskydreams.com

It is the Bluesky app that I wanted to exist and now it does. Give it a whirl and let me know what you think, if you are so inclined.

This thinking on "computer-shaped problems" is quite strong. I definitely have opted into this kind of problem solving and I'm not sure how to stop doing it.

The next question that should be asked is, "why?" Why in the world is this "on the table"? Why is this war necessary at all? Why is it happening without the will of congress or the American people?

This is a great and completely accurate take.

We will not forget who chose ICE instead of everyday Americans just trying to live their lives. We will not forget those who choose war as a distraction. We will not forget those who believe rights only exist for Christian Nationalists.

Balance is a myth, but I like your thinking.
