Contrarian thought, mostly just to be contrarian: Bluesky's core accounts being subject to their own moderation systems, and the level of transparency that requires, is actually kind of awesome? I dislike the inconvenience this creates but I don't think "just make it unblockable" is a real fix.
The final canonical entry in the Rachel Weisz/Brendan Fraser "Mummy" series is the queue & post-ride video of the "Revenge of the Mummy" ride at Universal Studio. I will not be taking further questions.
Oh man, Gonzo trying and failing to figure out a good Juno pose is a great skit tho.

Hate it 'cause I really felt like I was getting good stuff out of all that networking, but after 500 "got 15 minutes to connect?"s I recognized I was just busy, not productive. Much more useful with intentionality but also less profitabke for LI, so I don't expect it to last.
I tried the LION thing for a while and was inundated by automated spam and outright begging. Switched it up in early 2025 and now reject most requests & block any variant of BDR title (+ disconnect mutuals for repeat offenders). LI is calm and usable again. Until they make me pay to block. 🙃
Looking forward to the latest round of self-serving justifications from folks on why, despite this, they simply can't give up Twitter.
Akabanga all the things!

I follow a lot of people on here who post poetry or programming images without alt text and it quietly reduces your impact in ways you might not be aware of, since many people have a preference for interacting with accessible content even if they don’t “need” it.

"You vs the guy she tells you not to worry about meme", featuring rapper DJ Khaled (who infamously abandoned his episode early and in disgrace) on the left as "you" and champion comedian Will Forte (who set a new standard for hot wings performance) on the right as "the guy" in the right. Khaled looks uncomfortable. Will is taking a third bite of Da Bomb.
Paul Rudd & Will Forte sitting around just noshing on fresh Jolokia like they're Cheetos. 🤷♂️🔥
