POETs Day by @BenSearsMSYS "Even if we decide some enterprising Sappho scroll seller invented the accompanying material in the 400s BC and revolutionized music publishing, that’s twenty-four hundred years of musicians and orbiting talent commentary sold"

From @sarah_stook "I’ve been to a few other stately homes but these are commonly described as the most popular in the entire country. So, let’s get down to it: who wins in the battle of the iconic stately homes?" ordinary-times.com/2026/10/1…
From @OG_Jaybird
The first “Dang, I should have brought a jacket” as I left work to go to the car
The first “Dang, I should dig out the blanket for the foot of the bed”
And the best one: “Dang, kitty. What do you want? Oh you want under the covers? Okay" ordinary-times.com/2026/10/1…
From @wvEsquiress "The legal profession isn’t just being snooty or gatekeeping; it’s just that we have enough public opinion problems than to let every Tom, Dick or Katie call themselves a lawyer." ordinary-times.com/2026/10/1…

"It seemed like clever marketing to label the mad dash for wealth/power via LLMs “artificial intelligence” in the beginning. But now, the great unwashed masses have started to resent the tech lords branding, to say nothing of their public behavior"

Wednesday Music Post: Two Songs Out Of Time - Ordinary Times from @OG_Jaybird ordinary-times.com/2026/09/3…
From @OG_Jaybird "We need to talk? I guess we need to talk about tariffs, I guess. (big sigh) Okay. Tariffs are bad....Sure. I agree with you. Can we go back to eating cheese now? Do we still need to talk? I don’t want to talk. I want to eat cheese."

"The fear of flying furries fits w/immigrants were eating pets, claims that schools were deploying litter boxes for students who identified as cats, or the perennial claims migrant caravans are about to swarm across the southern border"

From @four4thefire "Folks not on those streamers have no idea what’s going on. Opining those folks are partisan-inspired liars, when they are utilizing the promise streaming would be personally curated to do just, isn’t insightful, it is just being obtuse"

From @wvEsquiress "Your attempts to victim blame might hurt some survivors who are just minding their business scrolling...Or it might damage actual victims if it turns out you are propping up a false accuser. So maybe just shut up and avoid all that."

From @captainkudzu
It doesn’t follow that meowing on the radio means the perpetrators are furries. For one thing, if a pilot was really a furry, he’d probably want to keep a low profile rather than risk outing himself by meowing over the radio."

From @four4thefire
"Steaming numbers have led to big headlines about “bigger than that Mariah Carey Christmas single, biggest EV-AH” and such. Some folks have taken those big numbers to mean universal acceptance.
And thus is the problem..."
