@npub1jc6…7v67 Is there a way to mute a hashtag in Phanpy?

@npub1gpa…xlk0 @npub1typ…c8hh Bears more than a passing resemblance to CEOs of publicly-traded companies trying to juice short-term gains at the cost of long-term impact/sustainability, mirite? Similar incentives at play, where focusing on quarterly results is similar to focusing on elections.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 @npub1jpp…u59l It almost looks like a bony bra, and if there were other skeletal clothes scattered on and around them it would be awesome. Like one bony sock on a foot, maybe a bony hat... 🤔

@npub1zdp…vqv8 A cat with bone ears you say...? How about a rat, bat, and maybe a chihuahua thing that won't stand up?

@npub1zdp…vqv8 At first we were grabbing the ones that just seemed slightly off but now we realize that the decoration designers are in on the joke and leaning into it more and more each year, and we are all too happy to reward their paymasters with capitalism coupons.

@npub1zdp…vqv8 We have a collection of "improbable skeletons" that we proudly add to and display every October.

Watch these remarks by #PresidentBiden and remember that just four years ago the US was not really engaged in fighting the #ClimateCrisis at all. We have made enormous progress since we got off the sidelines!
The fight to come is still grim, but we should take heart from how quickly things can change when we focus and treat this emergency with the urgency it deserves. Onward!

Cory Doctorow points out lots of reasons for optimism around how large engineering projects and their attendant mineral demands will play out over the climate transition. Worth a read!

Gavin Newsom is a callous, irresponsible disappointment. Lately he's been doing everything he can to pursue the Overton Window as it slides to the right. California can and should do so much better than this.

One of my least productive hobbies, in terms of habit loop vs reward, is obsessively collecting free access to games on every platform where you can do that (PS Plus, Steam, Epic, Amazon, etc), meticulously curating that _phenomenal_ library of games in Playnite... and then never playing _ANYTHING_.
I am not terrific at making return-on-investment tradeoffs with my time.😞

As someone who wants politics-ignorant people to understand the stakes of the upcoming US election without thinking it's alarmist hyperbole, I want to link plain-language descriptions of #Project2025 proposals directly to the language in the published Project 2025 PDF where the intention is stated.
To that end, I started a Hypothes.is group for people to collaboratively mark up the Project 2025 PDF in-situ. Here's a link people can use to join:

#ebike conversions are rad in the first place, but I want to talk about why I teared up when I finally spent the money to have this done.

I've had peripheral neuropathy in my feet since 2020. I'm constantly oscillating between being in pain and being medicated to the point of stupidity. I telework and couldn't handle a bunch of walking associated with a commute, so I don't get out much. 1/

Are we seriously expected to believe that an avowed Christian Nationalist rushed up to Columbia to defend... Jews!? Come on. Jews are not a unified bloc, and we're not stupid. Israel's got a whole foot in the genocide water, and it's not at all antisemitic to call them out for that... unless you happen to believe the "dual loyalties" canard, which is itself antisemitic as hell! 🙄
