Melon Husk choreographed a pre-game show and this is what it looked like 1gqcccq.mp4

Anyone heard that taking a benadryl before the covid vaccination helps reduce the side effects? Could be urban legend.

This is a seriously stupid, ignorant take. Unmask yourself, troll.

Not off to a great start. Allegedly.

The White House has an Office of Management and Budget whose purpose is to put together the annual budget proposal for Congress. Creation of an entire new government department for the supposed purpose of "government efficiency" is duplicative of the work of OMB. It's the stuff of idiots. Take a look at Dan Quayle's former Council on Competitiveness, to which he was appointed by Bush and which became the point of entry for corporations to give a donation to the Party in order to receive a slice of the government pie. It's the actions of corrupt communist cunts. They're not looking at how to make the government more efficient; they're looking at how to rig the game in their own favor.

Another thing bluesky has is blocklists. If you subscribe to one you can mute everyone in it, or simply block them, in mass. Similar to smart packs, apparently anyone can start one but here's probably the most well-known https://bsky.app/profile/numb.comfortab.ly/lists/3l6vb3qsxi32w However with blocklists, anytime a user gets added to a list to which you've subscribed, that account gets blocked or muted automatically, per how you've instructed when you subscribe to the list. Think nazi trolls, crypto scammers. There's also a maga blocklist https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:e4elbtctnfqocyfcml6h2lf7/lists/3l53cjwlt4o2s

Thank you! Really appreciate your presence and valuable contributions to our online community. The information you’ve posted over many years has been instrumental in shaping my understanding of the topic. Your thoughtful sharing has not only benefited me, but I sense it's also fostered a sense of belonging and collaboration among the Board.

I don't know if they're definitive but this user has 2 lists that seem good https://bsky.app/profile/terryfella.fellas.social

On your way to getting crowdsourced as @Maestro della Moneta you sprung up as @Jesse Livermore and now you have another new handle. So proud of you.

What the userbase calls "the nuclear block" helps keeps bluesky relatively civilized. For example, there's not much quote dunking. If someone is an annoyance, the block function vaporizes them from your sight, and keeps them from seeing your account, unless you unblock them. Also if you like an active feed you definitely need to follow more accounts than on twitter because nothing gets pushed into your feed unless you want it there. The number of new users is very apparent. I don't seek a following myself but for example I estimate the noelreports account (pro Ukraine) engagement has increased by a factor of 20 or so just in the past week.

Did you use "sky follower bridge" to re-connect with your twitter follows and followers? It's a chrome add-on. https://blueskydirectory.com/

If you go to this app https://github.com/lucahammer/tweetXer scroll down there's a youtube tutorial on how to use it for a mass deletion

If you're unable to use the app to delete your old tweets and there's too many to do it manually, you mean? I believe there's an option to deactivate your account. Do that and don't log back in. If you log back in after the 15th they should/probably will make you agree to the new TOS.

You seem like someone who's on his 252nd Surly account and it's about to get banned again.

If you posted a bunch of pictures on facebook or insta, or someone else posted of you and tagged you, that's all in Meta's AI database. Someone already found a way to have the facebook "smart glasses" identify the people they were seeing and dox them. https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/2/24260262/ray-ban-meta-smart-glasses-doxxing-privacy I imagine similar bad shit will happen with twitter's AI, or make the consequences of being doxed by Meta even worse for some people. I deleted fbook years ago -- about the time theye bought Insta -- and deleted my twitter account at least 5 years ago.

Site looks awesome. Loading up a basket. https://www.diasporaco.com/collections/all#spices Diaspora is my favorite boutique, small batch spice retailer. They created a network of small, organic farmers in India (mainly). Freshest and by far the most pungent spices I've ever tasted or smelled, but it's a small batch operation and everything is seasonal so ya gotta order when they have it. fwiw their saffron is awesome and fairly priced but sold out right now

If there's a war in the Persian Gulf due to Israel attacking Iran, how would that impact oil exports by OPEC?

If ruzzia agrees to a deal it would be for the main purpose of consolidating their gains (which trump will push for). Under those circumstances, and the possible need for private insurance, I'm not sure what or how much gets rebuilt because the risk/likelihood seems hight that they'll start up another war as soon as they've rebuilt their forces.

Have you made your bluesky account username public info here? Also @atomheartbevo Also for anyone at bluesky, if you're not aware of starter packs, they're basically a must know to build your account. If you want to get a lot of followers, find the admin of any list and ask them to add you. If you want to find people to follow, search the starter packs for users that others have recommended grouped under certain expertise and/or content. Starter pack subjects can be extremely micro. It's a feature that's a bit like what twitter had with "law twitter" or "immunology twitter" except more organized. There's over 5,000 starter packs https://blueskydirectory.com/starter-packs/all Bluesky doesn't have a central algorithm, so you have to follow a lot more accounts to get an active timeline...like 600 +/- 100 It also has "feeds," and you can get added to those or just use them to find people to follow. Feeds can be pinned to your home page a bit like a bookmark within the bluesky site to switch what content you see.

Oh look what the cat dragged (back) in

Fair. There's a few people on this site who have real accounts with valuable info/writing.

Go succor yourself in the CR.

On Mark Galeotti's latest episode of the In Moscow's Shadows podcast, he said his advice to Zelensky is that the new Ambassador to the US should be a former Miss Ukraine. He was only partially joking.
