Average anti-Bluesky op-ed: this app is solely an echo chamber for left-wing politics

Average Bluesky post: baseball has taken everything from me

Tonight's Dodgers World Series victory is a reminder to America that the moment to save us from the nightmare we live in now passed a long time ago. There is no one coming to save us. There is no fork in the road to spare us from the destination. This is it.

peak baseball is indistinguishable from the feeling of hitting your head against a cement wall

Rod I’m trying to give my bank account info to my new best friend Damir in Central Asia so I’m a little busy I promise to be a miserable bitch with you in a minute okay
I’m really loving this modern American society where consumers get fucked over by giant corporations left and right.

If you're in need of positive and rather wholesome news, there's a high school teacher named Bryan who took a ton of freely licensed celebrity headshots at the New York Film Festival last month for Wikipedia, and I truly can't believe how drastic the upgrade is for some articles (thread)

gave out old Bluesky invite codes to trick or treaters this year. they set my lawn on fire and called me a bitch
Why Starbuck? I’m not a depressed idiot so Ishmael is out. I lack the gravitas for Ahab. Stubs… now there’s an intriguing concept. I fear I’m not sensual enough tho.

But Starbuck? The guy going “oh god oh jeez we’re anointing harpons in blood?? Isn’t this a bit much? I have a kid”

A natural fit
Wandering down to pick up TJs, looking like any other random guy but saying “Oh life! Tis now that I do feel the latent horror in thee! But ‘tis not me! That hires out of me! And with the soft feeling of the human in me. Yet will I try to fight ye, ye grin phantom futures”
“He drilled down deep and blasted all reason out of me!”
I realized this year that I probably could put on a cable knit sweater and do a pretty convincing Starbuck. Wander around and say “My souls is more than matched, it’s overmanned! And by a madman!”
Yes, although it can be a slippery slope
Graphic design is my passion
I know I keep thinking of the first time I read them, where I casually opened the first book after work in an uncomfortable chair and then looked up like 5 hours later with a cramped neck and went “shit”. Which rules! But also yikes. Still might do it anyways
Fuck I was just thinking of rereading them. I don’t need this encouragement i have too many books to read as is

Yes, these eyes are windows, and this body of mine is the house. What a pity they didn’t stop up the chinks and the crannies though
And leather isn’t always folks cup of tea, but I do love the ability to recondition them with some waterproofing wax every so often. Seems like they’ll last forever
I’ve had a pair of Black Diamond Tour gloves for ~3 years which are great. They’re “uninsulated”, but multiple layers of leather+fabric so still pretty warm. I wear them with some thin glove liners. Easy to slip off the big gloves and send a quick text with the liners on
It’s funny buying a car after 5 years without one because I’m constantly reminded of the second point in the original tweet. Considerably more nervous all of the time and going “damn good thing that car barely stopped before running into me”
I was supposed to have Jury Duty tomorrow and I was so excited. I’ve never had jury duty before and I wanted to do my civic duty and I had a whole outfit picked out and everything AND THEY CANCELLED IT
