Welcome new people. I was asked at dinner last night whether Bluesky was an echo chamber. I said it doesn’t matter, because what I want from social media isn’t to talk to young republicans taking a break from their group chat, but to read things I want to read but that I might have missed.

The thing I want most from social media is for people to share things that I might want to read or watch that otherwise I wouldn’t read or watch, whether news, commentary, books, movies, tv, games to play, whatever. Bluesky does this. /4

It’s cool if you want to improve your art skills, but that doesn't mean your current or previous art is shit.

In the 14thC dwarf trees were known as 'Hachi-no-ki' (鉢の木), after the deepish bowls they were grown in.
A famous 1383 Noh play by Zeami (世阿弥) called 'Hachi-no-ki' (in which a samurai burns his last 3 trees to warm a traveling monk) helped popularize these proto-Bonsai.

Uh oh watch out Holly's on another rampage of "how did they place those damn circles" and screaming.

They're easy to make sense of in arrangements of even numbers of lights, but I still haven't figured it out for odd numbers.

Everything about John Roberts's approach to the Voting Rights Act makes sense when you remember that John Roberts has has always been hostile to the Voting Rights Act, never believed it was appropriate, and has spent most of his 45-year legal career working to hollow it out.

One of the Biggest Cases of the Supreme Court’s Term Is John Roberts’ Decadeslong Pet Project

If there’s one thing the Roberts court has been consistent on, it’s this.

As someone who made it to Cadet because my mum was co leader, you didn’t miss anything. It just amounted to more homework. And also rather inept camping.

If it makes you feel any better, cub scouts weren’t fighting bears in the woods either.
They were selling popcorn and lighting campfires.

Yes. Better still, bring back electric street cars. Also commuter rails. The tracks and stations still exist.

an illustration of book being pierced through by a sword, from the wound the thorns with red tips are growing, slowly changing into flowers, a red bookmark is there to symbolize blood.

the book reads 'It's alright to say No. You will always be a villain in someone's story...'
