AuDHD Gen Xer, dad & husband, web developer & electronic musician, bleeping & blooping in Baltimore. I mostly boost leftish & news stuff. Occasional posts about mental health or whatever. Antifascist because fascism is wrong and bad.

Screen shot of post from “Acting the Fulemin (actingthefulemin.bsky.social): “Acting the Fulemin @actingthe... • 3h it's been pretty brutal watching BlueSky get overrun by obvious scams and then having people scream about how if you don't fall for them you're pro-genocide”
Screen shot from an iOS device running Apple's new "Liquid Glass" interface in Tahoe OS. The white text at the top of the interface for clock, on the left, and battery, on the right, are both jumbled and unreadable because the transparent Liquid Glass interface is also allowing white text from the app view to show up beneath the interface text.

A cartoon where on the top left side of the frame Elon Musk is standing on top of a huge pile of money while holding a sign that reads "Tax Cuts". Musk is frowning and saying through a speech bubble "You're the parasite class" while pointing down at a group of citizens below. The citizens are carrying signs that read "Veterans Benefits!", "We Need Healthcare" and "Save our farm!".

Screen shot of an innocuous post by user @loveree.bsky.social that is labeled by Blluesky moderation as "intolerance" for some reason. The post says: See Jack Q. See Jack Q demand examples. See Jack Q reject evidence. See Jack Q invent a nonexistent statement attributed to the OP referring to "anyone particularly prominent as alleged" See Jack Q become abusive while he is the one demanding proof. (there is more) The screen-shotted post includes three screen shots of user Jack Q doing all the things mentioned above.
