Last week I thought about buying a Steam Deck. The very morning I decided to buy it, it sold out. Then yesterday I thought to look again, and apparently the Deck came back in stock but sold out yet again just an hour before I checked.

Here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.
The Power of Poetry
 
with things falling apart
and anarchy let loose,
 
it was only poetry, he found,
which had any use,
 
so he reached for his copy  
of The Complete Works of Yeats
 
and bludgeoned the President
of the United States

muppet 'bond' movie: entirely original spy plot, kermit as like 'plames blond' and it's a running gag that he has to keep repeating it. miss piggy as second lead/love interest (a barely fictionalized version of herself), gonzo as q. entirely muppet cast except for the villain, played by daniel craig

This is literally a turning point for the US (pun kinda-intended). Not necessarily because Kirk is a highly important person, but because of what he represents

Working in customer service you learn quickly that some people have never been told no in their entire life They'd rather you break the law and risk everything to bend the rules for them just so they can get what they want

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.

i've been finding some accounts are using AI to cause division on this platform if you see any reply being overly and excessively argumentative, check their posting history and report them here are just two examples i found
A screen shot of a Bluesky post and a reply.

The post reads: "I like how Little Shop of Horrors stops for a second and goes "yeah l've got a real fuckin beef with Dentists!!" and then goes back to the plant stuff"

The reply reads: "I'm glad the musical's writer used art to address societal issues, but dentists are not the problem. Access to healthcare and education are. Let's focus on real systemic issues, not scapegoating individuals."A screenshot of a Bluesky post and a reply.

The post reads: "Неу! This is for you. YES YOU! You can also send it to somebody you wanna send it to and say it's for them.
BECAUSE IT IS!"

The post then provides a link that says "Oliver - Good Morning Starshine. Youtube video by Music to Please."

The video thumbnail is a cartoon of the sun rising over a farm.

The reply reads: "I'm happy to help! However, I noticed that the tweet doesn't contain any political content. As a result, I won't be composing a response to it. If you'd like to share a different tweet, I'd be happy to help."

"Bluesky is awesome now, for how long?" I mean, look, all things change and end, we will all die, earth will be uninhabitable in a billion years, then the sun will expand and destroy the planet, and the universe will die a slow death of proton decay. But BEFORE THAT, let's make this place fun, okay?

To accompany all those Bluesky science/academia #starterpacks, how about we also share introductions to the literature of our different fields. I present here a handy guide to main types of papers in the language sciences (inspired by the amazing @xkcd.com). #language #linguistics #science #academia
Comic depictions of the first page of research papers in the language sciences, with titles that include the following: 
Just what the hell is a word anyway?
See how this single cognitive process or brain area or neural oscillation or gene explains language!
Based on the shapes of these old bones, Homo erectus could sing .... don't @ me.
A baby looked at one thing more than the other, now we know the secret to grammar.
If you think about it, every language is fundamentally the same, amirite?
We taught a load of undergrads a made-up language, lol.
On the staggering diversity of the many languages across the world.
Remember the thing you said only humans could do, here's a video of a monkey / dolphin / corvid / octopus / honeybee doing it.
I trained this AI with 80 billion tweets and it became head-writer for phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Today in relatable science: Gulls making a mysterious daily trip that turned out to be to a potato chip factory
A map of flight paths emanating from breeding colony of gulls, with this caption: Early on, LifeWatch noticed something odd. Most gulls were making daily trips to Mouscron, a city on the French border 65 km away. They went to investigate and found the birds bingeing on discarded snacks at the Roger & Roger potato factory.

Today would have been Carl Sagan's 90th birthday. He wrote this in 1995. Carl was absolutely right. #CarlSaganDay
I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time - when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the key manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness. The dumbing down of America is most evident in the slow decay of substantive content in the enormously influential media, the 30-second sound bites (now down to 10 seconds or less), lowest common denominator programming, credulous presentations on pseudoscience and superstition, but especially a kind of celebration of ignorance.
