three dada figurines - one shaped like a royal head of state, another like a large stag, and the third a five headed robot with five arms and four legs

I mean when I see things like this I think two things: 1. Old people were never nicer they were just scared into compliance with the tools they understood 2. I mean some old people (Like Bertie!) had Jeeves to help them navigate politeness!

A BlueSky post by someone named PG-13 Wodehouse that says "one thing that has changed since I was a kit is that old people used to have much better manners than young people. Now I'd the guy behind you on the airplane is playing phone games with the sound on, odds are good he's in his sixties."

Melancholia is even more apt:

Dialog would like the members to believe they are all the same folks in the D&G ad but my friend that is not the case:

I agree with this statement but seeing it right below Hokit made me think "is Josh Hokit actually a nice guy but had a bad day? Did he just lose his fight?"

Screenshot of two bluesky posts the first talking about Josh Hokit being offensive at the UFC fight followed by a post about how most people who are nice most of the time but occasionally say something mean are just having a bad day

Okay not sure why a pastor is saying "Gluttony is just as much a sin as murder..." when the Bible never ever uses the word gluttony and although it does describes people (only twice!) as a glutton/gluttonous never directly says it is a sin as opposed to, say, THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT.

A piece from the CHOTINER Interview where the subject says "Glottuny is just as much a sin as murder..."

Some call this a new world order. It is not new... and it is not order.

Interesting if the article compares the size of these protests to the miniscule size of the Tea Party protests. Oh.

Such as this:

AI summary of comments reads: The conversation explores the tension between traditional and progressive interpretations of Christianity, particularly in the context of political and social issues. Participants in this discussion express strong support for James Talarico's inclusive and compassionate approach to Christianity, contrasting it with what they perceive as the judgmental and exclusionary stance of conservative Christians. Many comments highlight the disconnect between the teachings of Jesus, which emphasize love and acceptance, and the political agendas that some associate with modern conservative Christianity. The discussion also touches on the perceived misuse of Christianity to justify political power and bigotry, with several commenters advocating for a return to the core values of compassion and understanding. Additionally, there is criticism of the focus on transgender issues as a political tool, with calls for acceptance and protection of marginalized communities. Overall, the comments reflect a desire for a more inclusive and loving interpretation of Christianity that aligns with the teachings of Jesus."

I honestly think the UI is cleaner - prior to M365 - what was your favorite "year" of the office suite? A good visual overview was here: microsoft.design/articles/flu... The biggest change for me was the weird 2010 ones...

Wow I just found the most bizarre website - a guy running against @markwarner.bsky.social www.runwithmoran.com The best part if you expand is you can see an image that doesn't load on the right-hand side called CLIPPY ASSISTANT. It almost looks like a satirical website from @theonion.com !

a picture of the mark moran website - on the side you can see an image for "clippy assistant" that is not shown because the image didn't load - the rest of the site looks like it is from the geocities era

I mean you had me at robot. Then... it turned into a "decorative prototype" that doesn't move and can't go in water. Smells like a Kickstarter opportunity though!

Can I put the RoboTurtle in water? No. This prototype is not waterproof and should not be exposed to water or any liquids.

Is the RoboTurtle a functional robot?

No.
The BeatBot RoboTurtle BFF Limited Edition is a decorative prototype figure, not a working robot.

Seeing this in my timeline made me confused until I clicked on @ianboudreau.com and realized *which* Ryan he was referring to.

a post by ryan cooper that says Bsky sent 6x the traffic of twitter following a post by ian boudreau that says "Yeah, Ryan this is the asylum. Why don't you go back to posting on the normal website" (he was referring to a different Ryan)

So @theatlantic.com says Trump got "what he wanted" www.theatlantic.com/health/2025/... Counterpoint? The Wall Street Journal: www.msn.com/en-us/money/... The stock price certainly seems to indicate Pfizer and big pharma once again outmaneuvered the president.
