It's not on the same scale as rehabbing Trump's career for The Apprentice, but NBC DID also make Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera relevant again for The Voice, and I think indirectly bringing "Moves Like Jagger" into the world is also a crime the network should be held accountable for

That point in a conversation with a libertarian where you ponder the eternal question:

Is he dumb because he’s paid too much attention to libertarian ideas, or is he a libertarian because he was dumb to begin with?

Due to recent developments, we have made the tough decision to postpone the public beta launch for 11 days.

It turns out that Meta's Threads.net platform is building a groups feature that they curiously named Loops, and we feel the need to polish the app and Loops platform further so we can maintain the communities expectations.

We hope you understand, and those of you who registered via our CryptPad form can expect an email with additional details in the next few days!

Some of you may receive early access, and we look forward to onboarding more beta testers.

How Little Feather Found His Song

Honeybees are famous for working hard, but if you watch a hive, most of them spend a lot of time just chillin out on the honeycomb.

So when people tell you you gotta "be a good worker bee".... now you know the secret to their work ethic. Secure housing, affordable food, & naps.

Just voted. My politics is leaning progressive, and I have a long list of complaints against Kamala Harris. I voted for her simply because I want to still have a chance to vote for a more progressive choice in the future.

It's wild how social media outside of the fediverse has deteriorated. You have followers, but if your post doesn't please some opaque algorithm, they'll never see what you post. You have to avoid certain words to please the algorithm. If you refresh the page good luck finding the same posts again. And people put up with it.

Study of 21 former incels finds they felt "a sense of belonging and even superiority, as the community allowed them to shift blame for their struggles onto women and society, rather than addressing their own personal or relational issues."
