Don't send them this. It takes precious resources away from actual Bluesky posts, puts people in danger of seeing an actual joke, and just pisses everyone off. It's not funny or clever.

It’s actually pretty impressive, he’s demonstrating the fallacy while misinterpreting it at the same time

I just ran into someone I hadn’t seen for a while and they said, “man, you look way too tired for a Monday morning”

So that’s a good sign

Happy Columbo’s Day

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

If your state still calls it Columbus Day you have to read this

George Gantsoudes @pedsortho.bsky.social · 1d

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had in-vested, had to make good his promise to fill the ships with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain quantity of gold every three months. When they brought it, they were given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled to death.
The Indians had been given an impossible task. The only gold around was bits of dust garnered from the streams. So they fled, were hunted down with dogs, and were killed.

After each six or eight months' work in the mines, which was the time required of each crew to dig enough gold for melting, up to a third of the men died.
While the men were sent many miles away to the mines, the wives remained to work the soil, forced into the excruciating job of digging and making thousands of hills for cassava plants.
Thus husbands and wives were together only once every eight or ten months and when they met they were so exhausted and depressed on both sides... they ceased to pro-create. As for the newly born, they died early because their mothers, overworked and fam-ished, had no milk to nurse them, and for this reason, while I was in Cuba, 7000 children died in three months. Some mothers even drowned their babies from sheer desper-ation.... In this way, husbands died in the mines, wives died at work, and children died from lack of milk ... and in a short time this land which was so great, so powerful and fer-tile... was depopulated... My eyes have seen these acts so foreign to human nature, and now I tremble as I write....

It’s like the guys who spend hundreds of bucks to make their bike weigh half a pound less while carrying 20 extra lbs around their waist

(I have those 20 lbs too, no judgement on that front, believe me)

One of the many reasons I’ll never read The Atlantic again is that their writers mistake rage-bait for depth of thought

Sally Jenkins @sallyjenx.bsky.social · 1d

Ratio me. Please. It's a badge of honor. If you don't like a link, go follow some chicken-heart who needs the approval of the thought-police. Caitlin Flanagan of @theatlantic.com is a tremendous writer and this piece is an excellent read. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This picture has extremely strong Arundel Mills Mall vibes to me and I don’t know why, I went there maybe a handful of times over a decade ago

I simply do not agree that "email replies" are such a sophisticated technology/magical incantation that you should pay $3000 a year(!) to have an always-on button to make sure yours are machine-perfect. Like what

Not one single reporter has the balls to say, “Mr President, that is not happening, can you tell us who told you it was?” Pathetic and shameful.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."
