Whoever is writing Season 2024 is now just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks.

At first glance, I thought this was one of those fancy Japanese commodes. Billionaires should definitely be lining up to go to the bottom of the ocean in this thing. The more, the merrier.

A real estate billionaire in Ohio is planning an underwater voyage to the site of the Titanic shipwreck, where a submersible imploded on its approach to the sea floor a year ago, killing all five passengers on board.

I’ve been trying to eat better, especially regarding carbs and sugar. And I have been better, but certainly not perfect. For instance, I’m still eating chips, but I’m no longer calling them a vegetable. Baby steps.

Please block trolls on first sight. This can stay a fun and accepting place. No algorithms pushing the Nazis and fascists into our feeds. Only by responding to them will they be seen by others. Block, block, block.

Bluesky is officially “open” now (no more invites). So just a reminder to not engage with trolls and bad actors, there is no algorithm here to promote or spread them, replying to them is what puts them on everybody’s timelines. So block and give no oxygen.

Why isn’t this woman far more famous than Cleopatra? I mean Queen Amanirenas actually won her war against the Romans.

This. Just block. Do not engage at all. Even with a screenshot. Give the trolls no attention. We CAN have nice things.

With all of us coming here to Bluesky, we are all essentially hitting a big reset button. Twitter promoted a lot of toxic unhealthy traits in the pursuit for clout thanks to its awful algorithm. Here, those toxic fucks don't have an algorithm to push their bullshit. This is a huge chance for us.
