- Omg I love my city 😂
- I once had a boss who wrote just like Epstein. Spelling, grammar, punctuation a total mess. Always ended his sentences with a comma instead of a period. It came across as: "I don't care. YOU do the emotional labor of trying to decipher my mess. I'm too important to pay attention to details."
- When a deeply anticipated game comes out but I'm 34 hours into another game that I am really enjoying... The struggle is real infinitebacklog.net/feed/2571100
- Reposted by Brian in DetroitI may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?
- There are going to be white people having *absolute tantrum meltdowns* over this 🤣
- I think it's time. #soon
- I heard the term "broccoli hair" regarding the current trend in young men's hairstyles, and young brothers, let me tell you from my elderly perch having been through the trenches of the mullet: Rock it until it becomes too cringe, then bide your time. Thirty years from now it'll be hot again.
- Dawg I had three cups of Iraqi tea at the restaurant and now I'm at a Yemeni tea shop and had two huge cups of adeni tea and now I'm literally QUIVERING. My skin is vibrating lol I had way too much caffeine yikes.

- Reposted by Brian in DetroitI've been playing DRAGON QUEST my entire life, so to be part of the team to help launch a new game is still a surreal experience. I hope everyone enjoys DQVII Reimagined! It's such a lovely adventure and the perfect version for people that have never played it before. Happy launch day! 💙
- And I can't even find a job
- I'm at a small Iraqi restaurant with a total of six tables. It's just me and one other diner, an older man. We've been eating in silence but he just turned towards me from across the aisle and said "Excuse me do you mind if I make a phone call?" I thought it was so sweet that he asked. 🥹

- I think @whstancil.bsky.social gets it in the sense that just as we mock ICE for cosplaying or LARPing big strong army men, leftists fall into a similar trap of OPSEC theater, LARPing like they're saboteurs in the French Resistance or KGB double agents during the Cold War.

- Question from an atproto noob: would a very simple webcomic site built on atproto require its own lexicon? It would just be a blob (today's comic image), a sentence or two beneath it, and a very simple nav (back, beginning, today, next) and that's about it. Maybe I'm not even using the right words
- Reposted by Brian in DetroitWe gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”
- This is a tremendous framing of something I've not found the words to articulate about agentic AI: why it gives me the ick. "There is no self-made man. There is only a man with invisible infrastructure. That infrastructure was always female." A real banger from @abiawomosu.bsky.social
