Teen girls picking random tics and made-up traits to reinforce ingroups and ostracize others? THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.

<Looks at Dopest Cars> $35k for an 11-year-old E350? Are you INSANE?

Steve (pointing at chicken): “car.”

This elides one of the biggest factors here, the massive homeowner’s insurance fraud (cf. https://news.fiu.edu/2022/the-big-reason-florida-insurance-companies-are-failing-isnt-just-hurricane-risk-its-fraud-and-lawsuits ) which the governor and lege could maybe spare a few minutes to fight in between their various Wars…

You can justify stretching a little for a mortgage since you get to keep some of the money you pay and deduct the rest from your taxes. If you live somewhere with an economy, your mortgage payment usually falls below average rent sooner or later. And if you have animals or kids, not living in fear of eviction is worth…

That’s a very good explanation and well put. I just logged myself off Twitter and I guess I’ll have to wait for my BlueSky invite to come.

Yep. Their Google Cloud contract expired June 30, throttling began July 1.

Yup. It’s a different protocol but the same concept, complete with DIY curation and moderation. This whole time I’ve been wondering what would make Bluesky attractive to the Twitterati who rejected Mastodon.

Oregon’s sign for this seems better phrased:
