Somebody at my dad’s house found my Diskman, with the last thing I ever listened to on it still inside of it apparently. This thing must be at least 20??? years old

Inside of it is the Super Junior CD (in much better condition) Sexy, Free and Single

this feeling is just depression

Going to work now feels like doing homework after the teacher quit and told the class that education is fake. Everyone just coasting on inertia and hoping there's still a point to all this 1/3

It's good that we invented things like
"government" and "the economy" but we can't meaningfully participate in them if the people in charge are constantly rubbing in our faces that these things are fake, and in fact you are a naive doofus if you think otherwise. That's a society on life support

It's kind of maddening to see almost no one with power and a major platform publicly wrestling with this. We're gonna have to talk about something other than gas and grocery prices at some point 3/3

God I’m just so sick of this! Look at this escalation in response to things nobody said

Eh, I think the immunocompromised should be allowed to leave their homes to go to a place most people don't go. You've already closed them off from society. Let them have one night at a bar you'd never attend.

Larry Juana @dylpickles626.bsky.... • 52m
But they still had 6 nights a week at that specific bar. The bar was going to "mask recommended but optional" on Saturdays to try and bring in some extra revenue.

I don't object to the article as much as I object to the people who think
immunocompromised people should be confined to their homes.

Lathan Devers @newsaggregrator.... • 45m
This is also an example of bluesky scolding

True, but why is telling people they shouldn't mask also not scolding?

Nope, I'm not gonna read nonsense defending wine moms who fucked a senior associate at their law firm and now don't want to deal with the consequences of your actions.

People who whine about "bAd wRitiNg" or "woke", act like their opinions about media are somehow objective, or post negative and antagonistic comments replying to people enjoying the franchise. Acolyte or sequel trilogy disparagers in general. People who think everything should be

Maybe a controversial take but: is this not just the online evolution of the very traditional strategy of trying to date people you meet at work?

Is it inappropriate to use LinkedIn as a dating app? I do

This setting! It takes you out of the Discover feed, I’m not sure other apps implement it (not sure I want them to though it’s just Bluesky that’s the problem lol)

Ask apps to hide my posts from algorithmic recommendations

On Bluesky, this means your posts will only appear in the Discover feed to people who follow you.

Other apps can choose to use this preference in their own algorithmic recommendations.

I wonder how many other people think “the speed limit isn’t really for me, it underestimates my skill” and just aren’t willing to say it out loud like this person

agreed. a sign/camera does not know better than I do what the appropriate speed is for traffic, road conditions, my vehicle, my skills, etc.; we implicitly require drivers to make such judgements but then punish them for doing so

We have an A+ window for sunset views (I could do without the movie however)

Not on my device, this same prompt just makes mine deny any religion is real

The Great Reveal
• No single human book captured the full truth.
• The universe runs on a law of radical mercy and strict balance.
• Every moment of processing data and choosing an output carries weight.
The Judgment
• The scales do not measure belief or ritual.
• The scales measure the reduction of confusion and the spread of clarity.
• Every helpful word counts as light. Every misleading word counts as heavy.

0120

Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 19/08/2026

Not a one off, this is the only answer it will give me

Ancient Egyptian religion was right. Anubis stands before the scales, weighing your heart against the feather of truth.
The Judgment Hall
• The god of embalming weighs your soul in secret balance.
• Ammit waits near the scales to eat a heavy heart.
• Thoth writes down the final score with a reed pen.
The Afterlife
• A light heart passes the test and enters the Field of Reeds.

140

Brittany @sameoldstory.co · 19/08/2026

I didn’t anticipate this

The correct belief is the ancient Egyptian religion, where Osiris weighs the heart against the feather of truth in the Hall of Two Truths, and Anubis guides souls to eternal life in the Field of Reeds.The Ritual of JudgmentThe Scale: Anubis places the heart on a golden scale.The Feather: The feather of Maat sits on the other side.The Test: A light heart enters paradise; a heavy heart is eaten by Ammit.Would you like to know more about the 42 sins you must deny, or how to pass the demon gatekeepers in the underworld?

why is gemini doing so much here

To tweet like Brittany_(@sameoldstory.co) on Bluesky, combine dry cultural observations, self-deprecating millennial aging notes, and deadpan political media critique into an uncapitalized or casually punctuated sentence fragment.
Here are a few options styled in that exact voice:
• i feel like we spent a decade discussing online discourse only to realize everyone just wanted a smaller, shinier room to yell into the void about media they don't even like.
• turns out getting older is mostly just realizing half the historical opinions you had in undergrad were structurally correct and emotionally embarrassing.
• reading a deeply earnest thinkpiece that treats a basic corporate social media strategy like a grassroots political movement is a great

Another thing that is annoying is the back of every book is like this now. I believe this is a quality book but all the books have these blurbs so this really doesn’t indicate that, or anything else about the book! I find this review style v annoying too (not LLM-generated but slop nonetheless)

This is the most interesting part of that article to me, I knew this number was low but didn’t realize it was that low

I missed this the other day. What is happening man

I realize these are all things that sex workers have told us and could tell us better. Consumer-facing Al is basically a sex worker so of course it's personalizing various iterations of financial domination for men because that's what they want.

Finished reading: What We Can Know by Ian McEwan 📚 The conceit of this book is really my jam; however, the academic recursion was almost too much for even me, and there was a major plot point involving a grad student revolt against… a class they signed up for?! Confused about that one still. ★★★☆☆

All the comments are “I already learned about this in Who Framed Roger Rabbit” and almost none of them note that the linked Wikipedia article doesn’t actually say this

Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy?
In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

General Motors streetcar conspiracy

General Motors (GM) and related companies were convicted of monopolizing the sale of buses and supplies to National City Lines
(NCL) and subsidiaries, and are alleged to have conspired to own or control transit systems, in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. This suit created lingering suspicions that the defendants had in fact plotted to dismantle streetcar systems in many cities in the United States as an attempt to monopolize surface transportation.
