#less-is-more
I don’t think the press is scared enough of the possibility that if they don’t act with legitimacy, people are going to take their legitimacy from them

Copy and paste to a bunch of other industries. The only defense to anti-intellectualism is even more ethics, not less.

“You’re still using (insert social app)”

Ima journalist and an artist and will go where art and information are being shared. TikTok, BlueSky, and Reels is where that is right now.

I am less interested in who owns things and more interested in using platforms people are using for my goals? Try it

Recording our Hollow Knight episode today. I'm more fond of the OST each time I listen. Larkin's use of orchestration for color is *very* good. And on a less-serious-but-I'm-also-not-kidding note, lots of my thoughts jotted down say "this is the X motif but for perverts (i.e. morphed/distorted)"

These people WANT YOU TO DIE.

They see a smaller population as easier to manage. They can take your property, pay you less, charge you more, and then dispose of you.

This is attempted MURDER.

Gold is approaching $5,000, and
the move says less about speculation
and more about confidence.

Geopolitics, central banks,
and institutional trust are now setting the price.
Gold Nears $5,000 as Markets Enter a New Phase of Price Discovery
Gold surges toward $5,000 as geopolitics, central bank buying, and dollar doubts push markets into a new era of price discovery.

There is no way you can find any form of agreement with Trump.
Trump will never settle for less than total submission.
If you join his Board of Peace which he said will control and will have total authority over then you accept to become his little servant.
CBS paid 16 M$ and now he is asking more.

Outer Wilds solves this delightfully. They have a corkboard mind palace like map of the major pieces of progression with offshoots for less important pieces, and you can click on each to remind yourself of what is relevant about it and whether there's more to explore there.

Here's one reason to worry a bit less about who Trump appoints to replace Powell: The Fed is a committee, not a monarchy. So appointing a charlatan is less “Game of Thrones” and more “group project where nobody lets Chad touch the spreadsheet.”

You do not understand that less bad is not a s bad as more bad. That's clear enough. And your top priority is online clout, even if that means that the GOP controls all three branches of government.

Jeffries is a simple Zionist puppet nothing more nothing less. Keep cashing the checks Hakeem!!!

Crime is no longer so local. Changes in transport & communications make it possible to operate over larger geographical areas (e.g. county lines drugs gangs). There needs to be more joined up thinking about this hence less individual forces but retaining strong community policing teams.

there's a sort-of joke in #dogwood2: they find a temple full of smashed up contraptions and owen's like "TORCHUR CHAMBER!"
but there's a sad revelation that this is the ancient temple of a long forgotten fertility god, and the god destroyed everything in grief after centuries of loneliness.

I feel like a lot of folks posted their snowtotes a bit early. Long Island is expecting a foot of the foolish white stuff +\- 2 inches… or more… or less ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@chad thanks for keeping things up and running. Is the information only on Discord? I expect there are valid reasons for choosing that platform, but have you considered an alternative like Matrix? It is more "Fedi" and less "tech bro", as I understand it. Might be a better fit?

Abolish ICE. The numbers don't make sense and neither does their massive recruiting push. Every day we supposedly have less immigrants and every day they beg for more money and recruits to root out the smaller remaining number. Stop the mad dictator before it is too late!

Was going to roll my eyes at yet more 90s stuff, but Blondie are on tonight, and they're playing Maria, which I love as much as their early stuff. No Exit was a *brilliant* album. Then later I see we have 2Unlimited and Curtis Stigers, which... is slightly less inviting.

Ooof. When it comes to erotic art, less is always more.

These people love being "just sacrifice a bit more and prices will go down"

That is their entire price lowering strategy. To ask people to just buy less and put up with more.
Duffy: "I can't mandate you dress up, but don't wear pajamas & slippers to the airport. If you dress a little better you behave a little better. We're all getting into tight airline seats. The prices go down when we do that. But I want people to be well behaved & Ia little better dressed would help"

I feel that leader choice is less about Lab winning big on their own merits again (because as you say the economics are fundamentally Bad) and more that the leader should be someone who can unite the "left bloc" to vote tactically for Labour to scrape a win against a Trumpist party maxing out at 30%

Trump has to have people even more stupid ,than he is in the administration to make him look less stupid!!
January 23, 2026 at 1:44 PM
Sympathy. The fact that a post is short ought to make us *more* careful about what we put in it, rather than less.

I live on a kind of busy street in a Twin Cities suburb. Normally at this time it is humming with cars.

This morning I've seen three.

Not sure if its because of the general strike (less likely), or because of the bitter cold (more likely), but the effect is the same.

I was led to believe that adulthood involved more crayon factories and less whatever this all is.

rereading this i am surprised and impressed that sean asked me to marry him less than a year after this

It took too long but Marvel Studios is finally realizing that sometimes less is more. Some of their finest comics had fairly low-stakes and they ruined the ANT-MAN series with their massive Multiverse obsessions. WONDER MAN, says @azalben.bsky.social, looks like a healthy step forward 👍🏼
