YOU, TOO, CAN LOOK LIKE A BOT ON YOUR LINKEDIN PROFILE!

I feel you man... Good to see you here though!

Is anybody still here? Seems very few of the people I followed are active anymore.

I enjoy BlueSky, it’s nice, but it just doesn’t have the vibrancy I was looking for. It’s becoming another doomscroll for me, and at the moment it’s part of the constellation not helping me get on with more pressing things.

As such I will be deactivating my account for the time being. Farewell!

Hey, they got rid of 2 kids in women’s sports, worth it. /s

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Trump Goes Crazy on Trade “Liberation Day” is even worse than expected

Falsehoods, lies, and made-up statistics. These are not serious people.

Their entire game-plan is using language to condition people to think abusing people they don’t like is a matter of national security.

They’re always “fraudsters”, “extremists”, “terrorists”.

They’re literally weaponizing language in order to justify unsavory actions.

Woman Arrested After Miscarriage In Georgia Under Abortion Law A 24-year-old Tifton woman faces criminal charges after experiencing a miscarriage, raising concerns about the application of Georgia's strict abortion

Absolute insanity.

I'm no big fan of manifestos, most are exercises in empty corporate speech meant to make the writer feel like a pro.

But this isn't any manifesto, it's Miyazaki's project plan for Totoro, written in 1986.

Enjoy.

MAGA accusing others of pushing hoaxes is some next level idiocracy.

This whole thing is sickening, and the silence of “but her emails” republicans is absolutely shameful.

Reading the news is depressing, these people are abject.

Impressive, this is 100% “could have fooled me”

you think this administration cares about the truth, or even making sense? They got to power without either of those.

I don’t think “marketing tweeter” (the good and the bad) has found its place now that Twitter is gone.

It seems most have simply moved to LinkedIn (which isn’t the same), while some here, like me, are struggling to stay on topic with everything going on.

Just in case you were confused about the spiteful view billionaires like him have of us plebes.

That’s a new one- email was in my inbox by the time I landed.

It means they flagged that something wasn’t working, sent it to a customer response system, and activated the response.

Pretty neat, and the kind of service that makes sense in 2025.

What a sign of the times…

Only had good experiences personally.

I mean, it’s catchy! Kinda like the “Obey” of its time

PepsiCo to buy prebiotic soda brand Poppi for nearly $2 billion — Reuters PepsiCo (PEP.O) said on Monday it would buy prebiotic soda brand Poppi for $1.95 billion, expanding in the

Smart move by PepsiCo - Poppi is a really popular product with massive upside.

Wonder who'll grab Ollipop - could be interesting if Coke went after it.

I can't vote here.

"If you get up in the morning and you see an asshole, well you've seen an asshole. If you go through your day and keep seeing assholes, chances are you are the asshole" is a quote from Justified I remind myself of regularly.

That’s.. erm.. accurate.

U/figsFanPhotos recreated F1 scenes with official LEGO sets.

The only post prod effects used were for the tail lights.

I had the pleasure to meet both Jodo and Moebius 20 years ago, it was a high. I really hope Waititi is able to make L’Incal, although the lack of news does not bode well

Joorowsky’s Dune really was something. What I would give to read those storyboards.
