Wandering Adventure Party

Ah, Bluesky, my sweet summer child.

You're going to enforce your "rules against harassment and toxic content". And then you'll discover that it's the same set of people doing the toxic shit. And those toxic people are connected to really powerful people from a specific political party.

And suddenly you'll be getting calls from really wealthy fascists asking why you're enforcing this liberal bias by squashing conservative speech...

It's so predictable I can't even. There is no neutral position. If you clamp down on all the hate speech and toxic shit, you will clamp down disproportionately on a specific demographic who will throw a (potentially violent) temper tantrum.

The thing is, Bluesky is fundamentally capitalist. They need money and all the money is with the fascists these days. If they clamp down on toxic fascists, they will clamp down on wealthy fascists and their money will dry up. This won't last.

Bluesky says it’s getting more aggressive about moderation and enforcement | TechCrunch

It sounds like Bluesky is getting serious about giving some users the boot, with the company saying it will be doing more to “enforce our moderation policies to better cultivate a space for healthy conversations.”

It's not like any water on Earth. You couldn't do dishes with it. At least not dishes as we know them.

The realtor was right. Putting a white woman on a plinth in the bay window really increases the curb appeal.

And here's the scene from minute 13:00 it probably will cause your eyes to roll. It definitely caused her eyes to roll. I've CW'ed the movie because this scene is kinda...grisly.

So if you’re a fan of #Jaws and you like #boardgames I recommend this jaws board game. It’s actually really neat to play. I enjoy it and it isn’t cheesy.

You’re basically 2 teams. 1 person is the shark, and the others are all playing the people on the island (Hooper, Quint, Brody). There are 2 phases. In the first phase the shark is trying to eat swimmers off the beach. The people are trying to run around the island getting swimmers off the beach and dropping barrels to find the shark.

How many swimmers the shark eats in phase 1 before it is found determines how much strength it has in phase 2 and how many weapons the people have in phase 2.

In phase 2 you’re on the boat. And the shark is destroying bits of the boat and trying to get people into the water to eat them. The people are trying to get weapons and shoot and kill the shark.

You can guess how we determine the winning side. ️
#jaws50th #jaws50

If you are a fan of #Jaws or #Spielberg, this is the 50th anniversary of an amazing film. Defined an entire genre and sparked dozens of copycats. “It’s ’Jaws’ but an octopus.” Or “It’s ‘Jaws’ but slugs.”

Going to a local theatre tonight to see it on the big screen.

@CactuarJoe I thought Godzilla was sometimes the good guy. Is it always that they want to kill him? I thought he saved Japan from some of these monsters in the past. I was confused that they were happy to see him die.
