Fluffy and extremely huggable.

Oh and maybe now we'll get some respect, finally.

Sorry about your birdcage, SVP.

I loaded up my save game on HK, fought some pantheon, then started Silksong and told my wife, "I thought people said this was hard." Then I got a little further and she mocked it back to me after death # 22.

Everytime I see a muskie screenshot hating on them I donate. Gonna max out my standard deduction tax credits for donations this year on them alone, probably.

There was an awesome kid's event at the library on the bottom floor and NOW had a room on the top floor to make signs for the protest around the corner. Made it real easy for us to head on over. Such great positivity, almost emotionally overwhelming, couldn't yell at first. Appleton, WI.

Something about America doing the right thing after trying everything else.

More people than that memorial a few weeks back maybe? (I hope.)

Prob mindful redirection, takes you away from focusing on the sting.

I signed up for summer demand shifting when I lived in ATL, it was only for weekdays. 78F feels cool when it's a 90F soup outside. Stage thermostat up when you leave for work in the AM, turn down the thermostat at 9:01PM and you're saving money.

Best #nokings get-up I’ve seen so far. Unlikely to be beaten.

Appleton, WI showed out today, great to be out there.

Now I'm always going to get it wrong because I'll be self-conscious about it even though I typically used it correctly. 😅😂

One thing editors drilled into me was to use "farther" for physical distances, "further" for metaphorical ones.

I have a mnemonic for this:

Mercury is farther from the sun than Earth? Nothing could be further from the truth.

I'm not even going to block them. The protocol allows anyone to know who has blocked who, who created a list, what the list is called, the list description, users on the list... Mute would be an option though.

Entrapment by any other name but some API calls to search filter for key phrases then recursively download a profile on any hits.

They aren't out here to try hard, they want numbers, a show. A catch is a photo-op is an overcharged case that'll be forgotten.

They're bored, govt is closed, need lulz

lol why am I seeing Kentucky political commercials on this nationally broadcast ESPN Louisville-Miami game? I hope that cost them a pretty penny.

"So woke he's a joke, no wonder he supported Nikki Haley over donald..." damn yall get some new material.

Don't feed the trolls, it's all bait. Those accounts are only here to farm rage for signal chat screenshots.

Don Noble @donek311.bsky.social · 1d

No disagreement meant from me, my question was broadly rhetorical and an attempt to prompt awareness in those that may not have read the developer notes.

Also, one of the original rules of the internet: Don't feed the trolls. Those accounts are bait.

This is what I think too. They are likely already surveilling because the "best try" Bluesky privacy option simply requires an account to bypass. Make an account, never post, and hook the protocol firehose (developer's term, not mine).
