Elon maintains citizenship in all three. He is an agent provocateur in every one. He doesn't live in the U.S. on the same terms as the rest of us. 1568
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 2hThat party has never been about ideals, because if they have ideals then they might disagree and have to be adults. 020
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 2hIt works for stuff like "This is a great movie!" or "this is my favourite food", not for when people are being harmed (let alone murdered). 020
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 2hDo you think soaking cookware then forgetting about it is a Mormon thing? Or do you think satire is? 100
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 2hYeah nobody can ruin an orange (or chocolate) like Terry's :P 000
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 2hAnd unlike the Petra Parker ones it's mostly old images dug up (or AI generated ones). 020
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 2hYeah though with Lost it was like they were surprised every time they wrote another episode, like they never planned beyond the pilot XD 000
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 2hYep, and this happened in multiple places with the fem!malfoy trend. I thought I was being paranoid then I saw people in disconnected places say the same thing. 010
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 3hShe's also explicitly trans, not just a rule63 gender swap (nothing wrong with that in general just when used to specifically counter a trend of making a character trans). 000
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 10/10/2026But if they stand for anything, then people might disagree! 010
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 10/10/2026(And this was in 2018, before the fascists take-over went mask off) 020
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I mean, it's Prager U, that's a hiring requirement. 020
Reposted by bobismeisbobCarole Cadwalladr @carolecadwalla.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Yesterday, Facebook whistleblower Sarah Wynn Williams revealed that even though she sat in silence on stage at the Hay Festival with me & Tim Wu, Facebook sued her anyway. EVEN THOUGH SHE DIDN'T SAY A WORD!! 🤯 4/ 414454
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Except that makes them sound cool (despite the real mafia not being cool like movies/shows depict them) 210
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Drive by management, give a 5min idea and walk away then have everyone else do the work to make it real. 000
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I didn't realize it was a video until the guy moved. By then I was reading comments and it was out of the corner of my eye like a jump-scare. 050
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I don't see one other than slow incremental change. And I'm not sure we have the time for that (we definitely don't have the collective will) 010
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Here's hoping, but with the damage to US education and trust in institutions due to all them becoming about price gouging a lot of main defences against propaganda are just gone and can't be rebuilt without decades of work. 110
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 08/10/2026They're carrying shields they're not inconspicuous no matter what, but my guess is based on them not thinking beyond "shoes clock us, cover up shoes". 010
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Looking at all we know of AI code I can only assume it'll be more buggy, less supported, and from what we know of AI bros I doubt it'll stay free. Just use the existing open source tools with decades of support for them. 010
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I guess they learned from decades of cop shows where the undercover cop is outed by their shoes/boots? 100
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 07/10/2026We already have open source apps that work amazing. Why would we need to pay a pile of tech bros to recreate them but more buggy? 100
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The same thing over and over "I just used AI to replace Blah, sure it doesn't work right yet but imagine if it could! Isn't AI (the future impossible one I made up in my head) amazing!" 000
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Nope. It also struggles to write code, some people might accept a 40% error rate in their code but I don't. 010
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 07/10/2026And not because they're rubes (though they are) they believe the obvious lies because they want to. Because they're bigots and the lies justify the bigotry they want to keep doing. 020
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The writer's strike just seem to highlight how they had nothing planned at all, that they were scrambling to come up with anything to start writing instead of just rushing something they already had planned. 010
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Hugs (also the obligatory reminder that you are) and more hugs 050
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Yeah these days any rug pulling makes me lose interest. 020
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 06/10/2026We used to have one turn that was zipper merge, and it seemed like everyone all got it and it went smoothly. They took the sign down a few years ago and now that intersection is always a snarl. 030
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 06/10/2026There's probably a name for it but yeah it was the archetypal show where they had a plot arc all lined up for the first season but it was like they expected to end it after season 1 and were surprised when they needed to write another one. 4120
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 06/10/2026For me both got better after they got together. I guess you are the audience that is why every relationship in a show gets needlessly dragged out. Though for Bones she was still a flanderization of her character, but that happened in the first season already. 100
bobismeisbob @bobismeisbob.bsky.social · 06/10/2026That was my experience buying one. It's not that they weren't selling cheap ones; it's that EVs that had the same stats as my previous car weren't cheap (but a new version of my previous car was cheap). I lucked out with a used one but what would have really fit was a PHEV they discontinued in 2023 020
