I've been seeing a new round of hype for flying cars.

As a professional wet blanket, it is my displeasure to say that no, you are not getting a flying car. Also, you don't want one.🧵

One for you @cartoonbeardy.bsky.social

Hi new Bluesky users. Semi-annual reminder to follow my favorite part of this website: the Gift Links feed.

It shows any free link to an otherwise paywalled article that’s shared by anyone on Bluesky. It has legit changed how I read the news.

I don't want to give anything away but I really do not care for this dude. (This is a gift link) defector.com/donald-trump...

I can’t get a straight answer to the “When do you conclude it didn’t work, has all been wasted effort, and finally stop damaging your own candidate?” question. Mostly seems to be: “not gonna stop” as if a Trump victory would only prove they were right to wreck Biden’s chances seeking an alternative

“Regressives” is such a perfect word for the current court, GOP, and on and on and I’m shocked I wasn’t using it sooner as their adjective.

It’s also less profanity-laced while still being precisely pejorative.

I’m halfway through @scalzi.com ‘s Fuzzy Nation, which spent far too long on my to-be-read list. So far, very pleased with it. It has been decades since I’ve read HBP’s classic and this remake feels true to the original.

One thing that I love about Mastodon is that there are many 3rd party apps to use. I prefer Ice Cubes.

Are there any good apps to browse and post on Bluesky, besides the official ones? A quick search hasn't found any.

I come from Mastodon where Charlie Stross @[email protected] is the SF author that fills 20% of my timeline.

It looks like @scalzi.com got that gig over here on Bluesky.

I've only been on Bluesky a few days and I admit it has a lot of old Twitter feels.

Everyone helped @mmasnick.bsky.social shop for a travel power cord before debating generative AI.

I learned that @scalzi.com was a guest on Oprah.

Hello, I've just joined Bluesky.social. A few of my favorite accounts left twitter to end up here, so it is great to see them again.
