Thanks! This is definitely very useful information!

I wonder if this will stop me waking up to find my blankets on the floor. I may have to try this, once I am employed again.

Wait - you mean that’s NOT overpromising TV commercial BS? I am officially intrigued.

That’s nothing, just the other day I had sex with the girlfriend of the founder of Atheism.

The more I read the responses by BlueSky's dev team, the more annoyed I am about the ways that they've squandered the promise of what this site could be.

They are trying so hard to force all that AI crap into our lives.

Well, well, well.

Had a list for a long time named “Shitty People”, which I thought might get scolded, so I changed the name, added “Genocide Lovers” to the description, and added the word “Slop” after AI - and immediately got flagged.

I have never, ever, not a single time in 30 years, heard the phrase "table stakes" used correctly in a business context.

She could be an Edward R. Murrow Prize winning writer, but I'll never know 'cause I wouldn't read the filthy motherfucker.

I blocked the shit out of @cbsnews.com everywhere I could, right after cancelling my Paramount+ subscription. My Youtube recommendations are already better.

Scene from Pulp Fiction with Jules and Vincent eating in a diner. Jules is saying "Sewer rat might taste like pumpkin pie, but I'll never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy motherfucker."

Now, it's off to YouTube to tell them to stop recommending me any CBS videos.

Is she officially EIC yet? I’m waiting for that moment to cancel my subscriptions.
