99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 12/10/2026It took a long time for this to be proven correct, but my personal theory that John Gruber is easily the same amount of a shitheel as McArdle *finally* pays out. Imagine opening your mouth in 2026 and arguing 'X is pretty good, actually.' 020
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 28/09/2026There are tens of people that remember Jonathan Van Gieson's triumph. Tens, I tell you. www.backstage.com/magazine/art...backstage.com'Buddy' Cianci: The MusicalPresented by 4Panel Productions and 3mb Productions as part of the seventh annual International Fringe Festival at Teatro La Tea, 107 Suffolk St., NYC, Aug. 9-24. 011
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I think everyone forgets just have quickly they were AT IT as the lights went down. I am still scandalized by the aggression and I haven't watched it in years. 011
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I guess about now is the time where Choire is going to pull a Woodward and pen an article about how awful he knew Lorenz was all along. 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Inching ever closer to my dream of a Guys / IBCK crossover. @murderxbryan.bsky.social make this happen please 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I'm not super conversant in the 'Dollop cribs from other sources without credit' but it pretty much looks like they are trying to recreate Blocked Party on ticker from first principles so I guess I'm gonna have to update my priors. 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 11/09/2026I have two lamps that I use daily (IKEA, factory bulbs) and haven't changed them in 15 years. They both are the expanding paper type (one floor, one pendant). The floor light paper shade is coming apart at the bottom. The bulb literally outlasted the lamp. 050
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 11/09/2026The only thing stopping me from posting Archer clips the paucity of them "way to eschew traditional gender roles, pirates" 021

99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Canva was already leading the charge to convince marketing staff that you don't need no stinking designers; AI just accelerating the race to lowest common denominator LinkedIn ads. 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Man, 183 pages using a condensed typeface is a tall ask for a complicated topic. The Bloomberg interface has so much to answer for in distorting people's understanding of good UX. 110

99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Feel like this is halfway to a Reductress headline that is something like "Stunner! Helen Mirren Actually Flattered When Random Men Praise Her Looks Despite Her Age" 130
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Not sure if it was verified but stories going around during the LA Mayoral primary that it was the reverse - influencers were reaching out to candidates and asking for deals, otherwise they would do posts in support of opponents. 010
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 03/09/2026@brianvan.bsky.social was made for this moment (patiently waits to hear something like 'I LIVED IN TURTLE BAY') 110
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 03/09/2026We're doing Murray Hill discourse? Man, let me see what the IJC guy is up to. 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I don't have anything clever to say here. Everyone should read Perfect World. 010
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 02/09/2026I guess I need to get up to speed with MapQuest after [checks notes] twenty years. 030
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Antioch also on shaky ground (the president just resigned right before a significant accreditation review and I don't know if that is a good omen or bad), and we already have lost Goddard. Crunchy League schools having a very rough go of it. Stay strong Evergreen! 060

99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Subscribe to my app idea - the Cinnabuddy, where you use NFC to find people who will take some of the Cinnabon you want to buy but you know it's too much and will be too tempted to overeat and feel gross. 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 27/08/2026OTOH it's kind of refreshing to rehash this arugment with something other than Chapo being the focus. 010
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Looking forward the Third Way talking points on how this is further proof that Piker needs to be deplatformed. 050

99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 25/08/2026@mattlevine.bsky.social gets into the Lakers fray today. @pablo.show please do a cross-booked pod where y'all rank the cleverness and efficacy of Lakers vs Clippers financial shenanigans. 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Please don't encourage the Mission Burrito people. They are insufferable enough as it is. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON"T WANT 12OZ OF RICE? 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 22/08/2026But bike ppl are the best! Years ago I went into Bicycle Habitat in NYC & asked them to replace my janky rear derailleur w/some fancy Deore kit, and the guy behind the counter looked at me & my bike and stared me dead in the face and said 'why?' absolutely clocking that I didn't need it. 030
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I'm not sure I'm emotionally prepared for the fall sports season with Nanni leaving and the Distraction ending in the same two-week span. 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 20/08/2026[pauses to consider a hoodie related joke] If I was going to good faith this, I wouldn't be surprised if could make passable TGIF/Ruby Tuesday poster, but one person kept ask it for more, it obliged, and everyone dunked on the result and now we have a viral feedback loop out of control. 020
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 19/08/2026I have it on good authority from @murderxbryan.bsky.social this means she is effectively leader of the free world. 0320
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Starting to wonder if Laurie Powell Jobs funding the Atlantic is some 4D chess shit because she wants bsky to succeed and the only way for that to happen is to publish something every day that will cause 40% of the people I follow to yell about it at the same time. 010
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Do you think the producers of the WaPo podcast are leaning into the fact that their entire viewership appears to be the four dozen bsky users that dunk on them? You have to respek the data and now they have to continue to be horrible to sustain what little audience they have. 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 18/08/2026In the early days people thought it was Balk, and then when the quality fell off, deBoer. 040
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Hm, not pleased, but I guess relieved (?) to see so many familiar names in this thread. I diligently work to never expose an innocent to Aella lore, but to have fellow travelers that need to pour bleach into their brain pan every time this happens, I *see* you. 010
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Every successive story I read about the Trump administration feels more and more like the scene in Justified when Boyd and Duffy go to Detroit to meet with Sammy Tonin. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ColY...youtube.comjustified (2014) - boyd and duffy walk into a detroit bloodbathYouTube video by Crime Coded 020
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Sure, we all thought the "we shouldn't have speed limiters because what if someone is fleeing their abuser" reply to @michaelhobbes.bsky.social filled the galaxy brain box so firmly that it would take generations to dislodge it, but this is innovation that only mere mortals can marvel at. 0111
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 17/08/2026It was still legal to attached currency back then; people would glue dimes to postcards to get attention & I was told once by a sales director to never do this b/c 95% of them arrived sans coins. I expect Columbia House hoped for that outcome (since they probably postage paid by weight) 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 17/08/2026For anyone troubled by the (unsurpising) number of booskie denizens who think it's a constitutional right to threaten school children with a car, I invite you to the Santa Monica NextDoor, where they are enthusiastically advocating for internment camps. 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 17/08/2026When ashes are all that remain of bsky, elders will solemnly scratch out in this post in the dirt, and then look out into the distance in silence, the frustrated cries of the children ignored. 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 16/08/2026I know we're not supposed to look at the Hell Site and they are helping us because apparently they just have random line spacing now? 000
99 @ninetynine.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Did an unironic ten minute who's on first bit with Carlos D in a dive bar while day drinking. Someone erased the pool list and I was trying to reconstruct it and after much back and forth it ended me saying with 'Wait, YOU'RE Carlos?' He was dressed in full Carlos D regalia. 000
