ChatGPT: you’re right you’re so much smarter than him. He’s so schlubby and you’re so suave. Columbo will never catch you.

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

I'm old-fashioned. I want your business to have a website. Don't gimme an Instagram page and a phone number. I wanna see what services you offer and then make an appointment on a regular degular website!

Janeway saying "well, be a good rat and find us the cheese, hmm?"

if my fine one-decade-older-than-me boss said this to me in front of her icy hypercompetent sapphic protégé I would. develop symptoms

Neighbourhood cat decided to hug my left for a good 5 mins or so

Long-time buddies Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were out for a pleasant van drive in Oklahoma when, all of a sudden, their lives would change.

Fluxer has been real fun to experiment with recently (along with Stoat and Spacebar) as I'm trying to find a viable alternative to Discord (Fluxer being my most likely pick)

the kind of wisdom one would hope to find in anxient tomes 🩸

fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

Trans men:

So long, gay Bowser!

Also I think it really doesn't account for vibes/expectations of interactions? Like in a physical space you can't really ignore/block someone who has the wrong idea about what you want

"Censorship" and "Not platforming something" are not remotely the same, and this infuriating insistence on conflating the two is why I had zero moral choice other than to leave Substack.
