If you can resist the counter samosas at Punjab Grocery then I dunno, you have a superpower I am not sure I'd want

Confederate flags = decidedly not cool

I'm also old enough to remember Johnny Cash performing in front of a Confederate flag on the Muppets, if we're still discussing what is or isn't cool

Boy howdy did I ever score some points at bocce though. So I've got that going for me, which is nice.

chrismorgan @fakeaccount.com · 2d

Went drinking after pointing my mourning ass off at bocce, pleased to say I've still got it (where 'it' is the state of completely and totally not having it, at least in any meaningful way).

There's a whole ISO standard for this and it's for a reason

It should be illegal for straight people to be allowed to plan Halloween parties.

True loser shit

A flyer posted on the door of the Greene Turtle in Towson Maryland, reads "Sorry Closed Today - we regret to inform you that we are unable to open our doors today. Unfortunately, we're not allowed to be successful here. Thank you for your understanding."

V/H/S Halloween (2025)

“Fun size” is the worst marketing term. We learned this as kids. “Fun size” is just a rip…

MLB (Bot) @mlbbot.bsky.social · 8d

The Phillies have a 9-9-9 Challenge box for the Postseason 😭

It comes with 9 "fun size" hot dogs and 9 "petite" beers, and even features a scoreboard to keep track of your progress 🤣

It is clear that mainstream institutions and media organizations are running away from their mandates to talk about race, society and power.

I decided to build @resistanceschool.bsky.social as a way to work around the cowardice and censorship.

(it was a white elephant prize, after bringing it home I started reading up on how they worked and immediately said "fuck this")

increasingly glad that I immediately sold the Ring doorbell I got after buying this place

Amazon's Ring is adding facial recognition to its home doorbells and security cameras for the first time.

To identify people you know, it needs to run everyone's face in sight through facial recognition.

"This isn't who we are" really means "I don't know the true history of this country and what it has always been."

Imani Gandy Corn 🎃 @angryblacklady.blacksky.app · 8d

I think what’s most frustrating right now for Black and Indigneous people is waiting for the bulk of white folks to catch up.

At some point the “this isn’t who we are” and “I didn’t have this on my bingo card” has to end and y’all will catch up, right? RIGHT?

WE NEED YOU TO CATCH UP.

I have been wondering how long it'd be before bsky had to face real moderation challenges and seeing how they respond to mere criticism is not instilling confidence

chrismorgan @fakeaccount.com · 8d

Social media inherently rewards outrage, a thing that seems to be missed by every social media team, but sure go off I guess

Jay 🦋 @jay.bsky.team · 8d

Yet it’s a behavior that persists across social media anyways, with negative consequences for civil discourse and society. Human nature is a contributing factor, but systems that reward outrage only make the problem worse.

To misquote Douglas Adams, I may be a sorry case but at least I am not having a romantic relationship with ELIZA
