This is why I will periodically use cleanfollow to remove “orphaned” follows—anyone I had followed but their account is now deleted, blocked, etc.

want to reup the reminder that blocking somebody whether by hand or using a list DOES NOT unfollow them and you might have friends "following" bad accounts who have in fact blocked those accounts.
Could be worth an off-to-the-side discussion or a check in on clearsky.

LRS: one thing to be aware of as you look at accounts like these and go "whomst among my mutuals/follows is following this guy?" is that blocks on bluesky do not undo follows so even though I have a few friends who say they blocked him (and I believe them) they still appear on the mutual follows

Saw an indirect mention of the West Coast Electric Highway earlier and so here's a fun one, ABRP plan for a Chevy Spark EV (80-mile range when new) to go from San Diego to Seattle
Unclear whether all these networks will actually correctly charge a Spark but that it thinks it's possible is fun

the other day someone said something to the effect of empathy for objects and I'm struggling to remember where but anyway I have an extremely normal amount of that why would you ask?

Neil Gaiman is crawling out of his bog two years after sexual assault allegations to play the sweet old fantasy uncle again -- complete with name-dropping that book you like & his twee "make good art" catchphrase -- all in order to (of course) sell you his upcoming book. Don't you dare fall for it.

I love when you watch a youtube video from someone in a 240v country and they're like "woe is me granny charging" and they were almost certainly getting ~3-11kw and I'm like "okay guy whatever you say"

watching the Marques Brownlee Ioniq 5 XRT review and that he's showing it in the snow is 100% why I think Hyundai should sell it in where I live up in the mountains.
If a hypothetical future higher capacity battery comes true & a future year model earns 300 EPA I bet it would sell well here

LRS: I hate the E-word so much. Probably not even for a good reason other than that SO MANY people misdiagnose things that are genuinely just normal tech ebb and flow or even genuine improvements just because they don't personally like them, or because a trade-off was involved.

letting Doctorow get away with "enshittification" was a mistake
A slopagandist can become a policymaker in the Clicktatorship
The violent occupation of Minneapolis started with a vlog. I've wanted to find a framework to describe Nick Shirley & others like him: "Influencer" is too quaint. "Journalist" is obviously wrong.
I landed on "slopagandist."

separately, it is WILD to me how much people love to go online and blow up hyper-specific problems way beyond their reality. (or sometimes just straight-up fabricate stuff)
Like, the ICCU of course, the n1 write head cable, the geforce 8600, the butterfly keyboard, left32/right32,

Great call back! Folks would be like "it's a good thing you got the 997 Turbo so you don't need to worry about the IMS bearing", then one of the banks sh!t some sleeve or something, costing me $6k in repair, but hey, not the IMS bearing 🥴. Odd people.
