An ode to the absolute best #StrangerThings character (that, to my shame, doesn't even mention his amazing hair) for @denofgeek.bsky.social.

I know we got shot by the other bullet, but we did also dodge one.
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

My uncle (a physician) once said to me that all of medicine is a footnote to vaccines.
Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

I think he hooked his Truth account up to some slop bot, possibly a while ago, and that somebody accidentally told it to divide by zero or whatever, and it's just posting like crazy.

Man, I can't believe Democrat strategists came up with the slogan "Jail the crooks and fleece the wealthy" and that they're now polling in the 90s. What a world we live in
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

I actually expect them to go away and not reënter anything, personally.
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

These days, Ken Lowe occupies a strange place in video game discourse. He is cancelled enough that, if he argues that parrying in video games has gotten out of control, you may write about it, but not without mentioning that his favorite game in the past two years has been Scarmonde.

It's not just the fact all this AI bullshit is going to turn people's brains into mashed potatoes. It's that we're talking 20-year-old-who-can't-boil-pasta-correctly mashed potatoes. Terrible lumpy consistency, no salt, no cream. That's the KIND of mashed potatoes they want to make your brains.

I personally am thankful for the fact nobody on this app betrays their utter inability to cook by spouting silly opinions about traditional Thanksgiving dishes! bsky.app: Where everyone knows how to time out a meal in advance and use a meat thermometer!
