'Cringe' is "embarrassment".

Embarrassment is "Feeling self-conscious due to some event or circumstance"

Y'all. If you feel cringe, get you some self confidence! You are too awesome to be embarrassed!

If you call someone cringe, quit being a douche and go hype someone you love!

- find a sinister fog in the forest
- enter the fog and let it enter you, until you become one
- travel the wildlands with the other fog spirits, spreading fear & wonder in equal measure
- have some tea

This is a very Anglo media habit: flatten radically different historical figures into a single “ultimate evil” symbol and call it insight. Also, it was Khomeini, not Khamenei. If you’re going to do insipid Hitler analogies at least get the history right, yankee.

congratulations on a history full of lawsuits, firing casey stoney while she was out of the country, hiring jill ellis, landon donovan, and rebecca lowe's husband, losing naomi girma and jaedyn shaw, forfeiting a home game due to a poor pitch that also tore megan rapinoe's achilles, and so much more

Who is Brian Walsh and why did he not address the elephant in the room of "improve access to education globally"? He wanks about fertility and ideas in wealthy countries but how many good ideas do we miss because we let people languish in poverty globally??

America, you have spoken loud and clear: You do not like AI. But what if AI is the way to restart the world’s idea machine?
We’re running out of good ideas. AI might be how we find new ones.
What if the best use of AI is restarting the world’s idea machine?

In addition to accessibility, this is another reason to use alt text. Especially when posting pictures of people and screenshots of articles. Muted terms respect the alt text.

If someone is muting news of a person, show, movie, IP, etc. Bluesky won't show it to them if it appears in the alt text.
If you're not going to use Alt Text, don't post images. If the original post doesn't have Alt Text? Don't re-skeet it.

I'm sick and tired of my timeline flooded with shit that is on my muted terms list because people are too fucking lazy to add Alt Text.

Wish I could just hide any post without it.

The most interesting thing I recently learned about Rob Reiner was that he paused his career for most of the 1990s to lead a team that built a bunch of early childhood services for the state of California: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVB6pnzYRoE

If you listen to Dodgers games on the radio or drive on CA freeways you’re constantly exposed to ads about child health services that are free for all kids under 5 in California. I had no idea that program started with Rob Reiner pushing for it, then doing the work.

Do NOT create chatbots based on creators you like. It is creepy. It is the wildest, nastiest, creepshit thing you can do omfg please act like someone normal raised you! This is for everyone in every fandom! Don't do this shit!
I have just found out that some reprehensible fucking dork has made an AI chatbot based on the character I played on The Magnus Archives and *it has my voice*. I genuinely don't think I have ever felt so fucking violated. My actual voice. Saying things I have never said. I feel sick.
