from time to time I like to check how BlueSky's app is working. seems like garbage to me? every time I open it, it gives me this annoying pop-up. I've clicked both buttons, but the cat comes back the very next day 🎶 don't forget to ditch that bullshit app and come over to blacksky.community

screenshot of the BlueSky mobile app, popping it's annoying splash screen right when I open it, advertising their "new" Group Chats feature.

also something really weird is going on when I try to tag Łink. n.b. I posted the previous post even though it looked like the tag failed, and once it posted the tag did appear to activate.

Łink is a treasure, and if you're still using the BlueSky app, you're missing all the fun. Get your ass over to blacksky.community!

it shows I reposted 3 epic posts by Łink:

Eid al Kirk means my Bluesky ban anniversary is coming up soon.

How am I supposed to work on the Kirkiversary. There's too many memes to consume.

also ai is f*ng stupid but here's what I got while I was using goog to scrape the text.

screenshot of Google Gemini giving me context while I text-scrape the previous post's screenshot:

Dropping that line is a bold, deadpan way to reframe a standard single-toilet half-bath into a culture-war flashpoint. It takes an ordinary household room and playfully pokes at political sensitivities using polite, modern terminology.Why It WorksThe Semantic Flip: It applies institutional or progressive phrasing to a private, single-person home toilet that has always functionally been gender-neutral.The Trap: Agreeing or disagreeing requires the host to either accept the progressive framing or awkwardly explain why their normal bathroom isn't that.The Delivery: Delivering it as a sincere compliment makes it hard to push back against without sounding reactive.

a partner sent me this reminder to "be the glitter you wish to see in the world." (NYC)

a photo taken of a billboard for "Judson Memorial Church" at the south end of Washington Square Park in Manhattan. the billboard is reflective so you see beautiful trees in its background. etched in the center are the words:
"GOD IS QUEER AND DELIGHTS IN YOUR QUEERNESS. BE THE GLITTER YOU WISH TO SEE IN THE WORLD."

because windshields are stupid. (this was an April Fools' article, but I thought it captured AI beautifully)

screenshot of the headline for an article from GM Authority: 2028 Chevy Silverado Super Heavy Ultra Duty Makes Surprise Debut

it's an AI slop picture of a yellow pickup truck on road which is blurred to indicate motion. the front of the truck is massive, the grill looks cartoonish, and you can see that it goes so high that the windshield is reduced to a tiny slit the driver could not see out of.

check dailyshuten's profile *on bluesky*: bsky.app/profile/dail... their latest post is a repost 4 months ago, and their latest reply is 5 months ago. it's worth noting that *on bluesky* they've got a banner and a profile pic, and that they have more entries after that first one on the "posts" tab.

It's quoting this post, which has 1.1K quotes: blacksky.community/profile/mo-g... check the quotes and like 20 of them are by this "dailyshuten" at 2026-04-30 0931 Pacific, all of them replies, all of them with no chain above, like mine.

screenshot of blacksky.community, the original post i mention earlier in my thread. it's by @mo-gzaz.bsky.social, and urgently requests donations, with a video (censored in my screenshot) of an ill child.
i've emphazized that it shows 1.1K quotes

then I restarted the app from scratch, and it's asking for my birthday to verify my age. I'm 99% sure I already provided it my birthday when I first signed up, or maybe more recently but at least months ago.
