Odd - first time this hasn't worked, @barefootjim.bsky.social. Grok must be manning the phones.

A text message asking me to sign Elon Musk's thank you card.

My response: "Fuck off all the way to Mars"

No response after 24 hours

12 dimensional chess. Nothing in the Constitution says the president of the "Unites States" can't serve three terms.

Very nearly introduced myself and my bike to the inside of a pickup truck door this afternoon. Shouted inarticulately and he yanked it closed again, but it was a close shave.

Proud of my association (as a columnist for two years) with the Cornell Daily Sun after reading this brilliant and extremely disturbing editorial: www.cornellsun.com/article/2026...

cornellsun.com

EDITORIAL | Cornell Won’t, We Will

The Editorial Board demands that Cornell stops protecting the alleged Chi Phi rapists through the University's opaque sexual assault policies.

Driving thru Mac-Groveland today looking at pre-election yard signs and saw one for alley plowing, so Winter Is Coming I guess.

A text from winred.com asking if I'm accepting my ABSOLUTELY REAL, NOT A. MADE-UP THING DOGE check.

lol I need to remind folks that brands like Converse and American Eagle have marketing, branding, and social teams. Multiple people need to say "looks good" before WE see it.

So... the government is 1) pumping men full of testosterone 2) telling them no woman will want them 3) okaying bestiality. "Weirdos" doesn't begin to cover it.

Freshened up the catnip in his favorite toy the other day. He decided to sleep it off on my chest. #Caturday #OtisBDriftwood #CatsOfBluesky

Hi if you are in Minneapolis and are this 25-to-30-year-old white woman, about 5'5", with brown hair and a curly-haired golden retriever-like dog, get medical attention immediately!

I doubt there are many computer scientists who don't find LLMs "interesting". Whether they find them intelligent, useful, cost-effective, moral, or generally beneficial to society is a different question.

"Sometimes you have to choose the lesser of two evils," they say. Ah, and why does one sometimes *have* to do that? Because someone else, who could have chosen opposition to evil, instead opts to become a lesser evil for their own perceived advantage—leaving others to bear the burden of that choice

the WORST thing for kids is poverty. "screentime is bad"-ism is an attempt to shift your thinking away from societal obligations and onto blaming parents for 'bad parenting', aka individual choice

Starting to vary the language a bit. You know, as an experiment.

A text message asking me to sign a petition to put Bible study back into public schools. I responded, "Fuck right off," and was unsubscribed.
