Hopefully there is an option to disable autoplay and start muted.

Mine got the mole last week. I was both happy and unhappy with her.

X number of articles per month for $Y. And then ABSOLUTELY ZERO ADS. If I'm giving cash money don't shove advertising down my eye sockets.

I relate this to the old VHS/DVD rental days. I didn't have to go to one store to rent MGM movies, another to rent Paramount movies, a third for Disney, etc... Nor did I need to care which studio made the movie. One stop shopping. I'd pay for a subscription like that for news.

Amazing to watch a commercial funded by a right wing org promoting a version of Christianity they absolutely do not practice

My favorite thing here is that Jon pronounces GIF correctly... youtu.be/dl_XrsMZRTg

Yeah, it's sitting on the table up next. Pulled that one off the library shelf not realizing it was part 2.

Just finished Locked In by @scalzi.com and I'm now working my way through the companion piece Unlocked... Whoa that is an interesting read on this side of the pandemic.

Yeah, I realize I'm years behind on this one...

On the subject of "Selling Out," this post by @tbquirk.bsky.social (lead singer of Too Much Joy, one of the fabbest bands) links to a really excellent essay about what doing a Bud ad did for him and his band, and the relationship between advertisements and band music sales. Fascinating stuff.

Hoping that since this is no longer an invitation only platform, Bluesky will overtake Threads in users and posts. The latter is unusable without an option to disable auto videos.

My feed is pretty similar, but for Scalzi. Now that anyone can join I'm hoping to find more people to follow.

A headline for a news article that says disturbed show postponed after singercomes down with a sickness

If you can get a tour of the farm, it's worth it. They were on the ASAP farm tour last year.

i'm sorry to say this but if you send me a tiktok of a person telling a story into the camera for 3 minutes i'm not fucking watching it. just in general ever. people need to start typing things up again because i can read so much faster than you can talk and i'm not wasting my precious time on this
