Bluesky has now replaced twitter as the top platform for finding out if there was an earthquake in LA
Good morning, Bluesky. Please enjoy these flowers from my cabin. As a reminder, this week, I'm on vacation and updates will be sporadic and mostly will have pretty pictures. I am not keeping up with what's going on in the outside world this week. There is no world, only boat. Boat is boat.

In a leaked recording, State Senator Elena Parent (D-42) said she’d vote for Republican transgender healthcare bans because trans rights are too “unpopular." "You can go right to heck. I don’t think I will lose re-election based on you screaming at me"
The followers-only reply setting appears to be improving my experience here a lot! However I do think I'll have to also turn off quote-posts whenever I exercise that option. They remain pretty weird when the post escapes containment.
Walter ganhou!! Brasil ganhou!!
This is just a game for Elon, but the consequences for families in Oregon and across the country are real and dire. His purge of the federal government is going to make life harder and more expensive for all of us.
This blowing smoke up every nominated ass is so necessary, these poor people never get flattered

Before game magazines started hitting shelves, sometimes they would print a "preview issue" to let stores and advertisers know what their content was going to be like. We've been collecting those too! Here's the preview issue of PSM from E3 1997: archive.gamehistory.org/item/29017b5...
