Contrarian thought, mostly just to be contrarian: Bluesky's core accounts being subject to their own moderation systems, and the level of transparency that requires, is actually kind of awesome? I dislike the inconvenience this creates but I don't think "just make it unblockable" is a real fix.

The final canonical entry in the Rachel Weisz/Brendan Fraser "Mummy" series is the queue & post-ride video of the "Revenge of the Mummy" ride at Universal Studio. I will not be taking further questions.

So what this means is that if there were demand, say through a call/letter/word of mouth campaign, from Costco's members and other patients who can no longer get this critical medication from their providers, then they'd sell it. Right? 🤔☎️📬🗣

I follow a lot of people on here who post poetry or programming images without alt text and it quietly reduces your impact in ways you might not be aware of, since many people have a preference for interacting with accessible content even if they don’t “need” it.

Paul Rudd & Will Forte sitting around just noshing on fresh Jolokia like they're Cheetos. 🤷‍♂️🔥
"You vs  the guy she tells you not to worry about meme", featuring rapper DJ Khaled  (who infamously abandoned his episode early and in disgrace) on the left as "you" and champion comedian Will Forte (who set a new standard for hot wings performance) on the right as "the guy" in the right. Khaled looks uncomfortable. Will is taking a third bite of Da Bomb.

Easy call. I still have not read it though. 😅
Robert Heinlein's "Glory Road", featuring cover art set in a dismal swamp with a buxom blonde archer reaching for an arrow while her red-tunic'ed & carefully coiffed companion draws his own bow, aiming at a bipedal saurian with draconic features preparing to breathe fire in retaliation. A balding and muscular party member carries the party's backpack and looks on from below the archers, holding a gnarled quarterstaff at the ready.
