I was reminded tonight one of my superlatives was most opinionated, which makes my bio really funny. And my male co-opinionator is running for office right now, so I guess we both lived up to our role 😂💀

Screenshot of my bio - it reads: I knew who I was this morning, but l've changed a few times since then. I regret to report I still have a lot of opinions. Hobbies: writing, horror, cheese.

I read it. It is NOT about yesterday, it’s from April 2026 and details an attack from April 15, 2026! Stop spreading misinformation.

The attack disrupted feeds, notifications, threads, and search, causing intermittent outages. A pro-Iran hacker group, called 313 Team (aka "Islamic Cyber Resistance in Iraq"), claimed responsibility, highlighting growing threats against social media platforms and the impact of coordinated disruption campaigns.

"Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day." Bluesky announced.
"We have not seen any evidence of unauthorized access to private user data."
The company found no signs of data breaches and confirmed it limited the impact of the attack and avoided prolonged outages.

313 Team is a pro-Iran hacktivist group tied to politically driven cyber activity like DDoS attacks, defacements, phishing, and data-leak claims. It targets public services, government and symbolic platforms to create disruption and amplify geopolitical tensions.
Analysts link it to the broader Iran-aligned ecosystem, sometimes close to state interests. However, the group often exaggerates its impact, so claims should be treated with caution.

Unfortunately @k8tshires.eurosky.social has her post locked so there’s no clarifying this there—but the article she’s sharing is from APRIL 21, 2026 which means it’s likely unrelated to yesterdays outage and folks should know that since it’s going viral before it gets entirely out of hand.

To add to the “The Hobbit isn’t a children’s book” discourse. I literally bought this for my oldest nephew (11) last week after he showed interest in the LOTR trilogy on tv, and he loves it! Also, as a long time fan, the illustrations in the graphic novel are gorgeous 🥹

Here’s a perfect example of a white woman insinuating a bunch of other women’s periods were messed up in June bc of CERN, then TikTok promoting it in the search bar, and I won’t even bother with all the insane comments but they were equally unhinged. I gotta get off the clock app, tbf.

A white woman with blonde hair in the background with white text in the foreground that reads: Learning that thousands of women from around the world are reporting they either missed or had a double period 2 weeks apart in the month ot June. Also menopausal women tho hadn't had a period in months got one. That then made me go down a whole cern conspiracy wormhole.

Photos for reference. And for the record, I take good care of my things. They are stored properly, maintained, etc. bc I want them to last, so there’s just really no excuse for this shit from companies whose shoes are $100+ (even if I don’t pay that price for them). This is $20 shoe behavior.

One of three photos of nude, open-toed Michael Kors heels, you can see the insole where the the arch of your foot would be is separating from the shoe - despite the stitching design, it has clearly simply been glued down.

Two of three photos of nude, open-toed Michael Kors heels, this photo is from the side to show the overall condition of the shoe, there’s no major scuffing, etc. it shows the shoes have been worn
But not over worn.

Three of three photos of nude, open-toed Michael Kors heels, this photo is from the bottom to show the overall condition of the shoe. You can see the shoes have been lightly worn but all the treads, etc. are still full, the wear can mostly be seen in discoloration.

Side view of a pair of burgundy Nike wedges, although only one shoe is pictured - the toes of both shoes have completely separated from the soles despite the stitching design, because they were glued in as you can see in the photo between the finger and white sole.

Also, a regular reminder that twitter’s user base has more bots than real people, and the real people tend to be trolls. There are not “more active people from many places and backgrounds” there even if it feels that way lol, I promise you.

At the end of the day it all comes down to X having many more active people, from diverse places and background. I'd add mostly younger too. While bsky has been on a daily users decline since early 2025. It can only be changed by a new influx of people, who don't have to come here only.. (1/2)

Why do folks feel the need to do all this? If you don’t like it here, leave. I thought Twitter had bad vibes because of the users there. You know what I did? Deleted my account and found a platform I actually enjoyed, which happens to be this one. Not everything is for everyone, that’s okay.

Corey Atad
@coreyatad.com
it's why despite the activity on here, and more people clicking links, etc, the site still gives people bad vibes. the pile-ons are one thing, but those happen on all social media. it's that the typical mode here is one of distanced engagement, occasionally doing a 180 into angry gatekeeping.
7:43 AM • May 24, 2026

Corey Atad @coreyatad.com • 3h and fwiw, the users are definitely the problem here, because in a way it's why they came here. to escape the constant, ugly drama of other sites and protect against that. but the platform itself is a problem. so much effort toward self-moderation has meant a culture of people talking to themselves.

There’s nothing wrong with them. Many people have simply fallen victim to dandelion propaganda (years of cultural conditioning telling us maintaining a manicured lawn is a sign of being a responsible citizen) I fear 😂 it’s even naturalized in all 50 states now, so it’s considered a native plant!

Originally brought to North America as a medicinal and nutritious edible herb, the common dandelion was purposely cultivated by early settlers as a food source. Named Dent de Lion (lion's tooth) in French for the serrated leaves, the common dandelion also earned the nickname pissenlit (pee in the bed) for its rumored diuretic qualities.

So how did this cheertul yellow flower become so hated? In the 16th century, the nobility of England and France began cultivating lawns (though they were not always made of grass).
Because only the rich could afford to make room for unproductive land, lawns became a status symbol. A short expanse of green around the home became a symbol of wealth that only those with leisure time could maintain.

After the trend reached the United States post-Civil War, it was a slow trend to take hold but eventually became a status symbol. Particularly in the post-depression 1940s and 1950s when it was part of the "perfect home" view portrayed in early television. During that period and into the 1960s, some chemical companies took on the task of encouraging Americans to keep anything but grass out of their lawns using lab-derived herbicidal methods. Dandelions, as the most persistent wildflower, eventually came to symbolize neglect, laziness, and even poverty.

It’s interesting we are now in a time where racists think if they can’t take over the schools (they’re trying and succeeding in many places) that public schooling shouldn’t be mandatory so they can homeschool and indoctrinate their kids instead. We’ve been fighting this devil our entire history.

Looking back after re-potting and that pic doesn’t do the overgrowth justice 😅 I spotted the roots wandering when I got it last winter—which isn’t the time to repot—so I put a little dirt in a bigger pot to cover the wanderers and just wintered it double potted 🌱 it worked, perhaps too well lol

Black pot with monstera roots busting out of the bottom, blue scissors are nearby as I attempt to remove the pot without damaging the roots.

Feeling like an apt metaphor for the moment we are living in collectively (and personally for myself) I added the quip “the old world is dying;; the new world struggles to be born” when I shared it on IG and this is is the only photo I have that shows the roots 😭

Monstera with pot finally removed. There is hardly any dirt to be seen, the rootball was taking up nearly the entirely lot of miscellaneous gardening items can be seen in the background.

The job of an op/ed page is not to only publish the "right" opinions. If a topic, policy, or decision is in the news / under discussion at the highest levels, the op/ed page at a national newspaper should be publishing pieces that make the case for that policy or decision. Even if the policy is bad!

This idea that the NYT is some sort of right-wing rag because they sometimes publish conservatives and do reporting that doesn't always 100% accord with what advocacy groups want is just one of the most demented and reality-eschewing theories to take hold on the left. Truly bizarre and sad to see.
