Something I think maybe folks don't understand about this platform is that when you comment on, say, 20 nude thirst trap / porn pics in a row, everybody who follows you sees those comments 😆

And just in case this breaks containment, dental care IS health care. Your mouth — and your eyes for that matter — are parts of your body. The fact that insurance companies began making dental and vision care separate is the scam.

The final boss of Fantasian Neo Dimension is, as expected, bonkers. The ultra final end-god-multiverse-inhaling bosses in JRPGs usually are.

I think @aftermath.site has some of the best games & culture journalism out there & I couldn’t be happier about another employee-run outfit launching with @mothership.blog; with a strong stance against gen ai. That & with @bandcamp.com doing the right thing, I‘d say: pretty good week for humans

Sometimes I don't think Americans on Bluesky understand this platform well enough to understand that every single thing you do here is likely being scraped up by the feds and being jammed into a database to be parsed by palantir and grok and whatnot. This is absolutely not a private platform.

Hey #GameDev and #ATProto! I'm working on tools to decentralize the ownership and management of video games by putting them (or at least their data... for now) on ATProto!
I'm looking for feedback, so if you have any interest I'd love to hear your thoughts. ♥️ 🎮 ♥️

Introducing The Pentaract: A Comprehensive Set of Video Game Lexicons for ATProto

One thing I wanna say about TJ is that he trained my son Kyle at their old workplace (we all worked together). Kyle really liked him and he was awesome to my kid. Anybody who was a part of my son's life is a part of mine, and I will always appreciate him for the kindness he showed to my son.
One of the US’ greatest achievements is freedom of speech*. It comes at a cost. There are those that use it to incite hate & violence; others, however, use it to speak truth to power. The US far right want to monopolise freedom of speech so they control the conversation. Here’s a way to speak up:

I'm having one of those days where it feels like the world is passing me by. It's really hard to maintain my usual level of optimism and emotional armor when I feel so stuck.
I have been unemployed for a year but worse than that is that I feel increasingly *unemployable*
