Evil thing have occurred in the myservalwings household today

Really awesome article about AI and education. I love the discussion around decoupling the feeling of learning vs actually learning, and how discomfort is often required for learning but understandably avoided when given the opportunity with AI.

I will once again be dragged for this, but I am once again begging you to stop advocating for illegal actions on social media www.wired.com/story/massiv...

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC

I loved @anhdangerous.bsky.social 's original artwork so much that I had to make it myself. It houses an OEM PsOne, with a handful of mods, including a functional (but not comfortable) Claw Based controller.

I tried (and failed) to get Katamari Damacy creator Keita Takahashi to explain his new game, to a T, to me. instead, I had one of the most fun, baffling interviews I've ever done www.wired.com/story/katama...

How we use the internet is largely shaped by a handful of US-based tech giants. US gov't surveillance laws allow them to demand access to your private data without your knowledge or a warrant. Read the thread below for the list of European alternatives that put your privacy first. 1/16

The discover feed is politically opposite but just as nauseating as Facebook with all the rage bait...

On the other site, Studio Ghibli-style AI output is going viral and allow me to just say it is profoundly depressing to see that stuff being used to promote OpenAI's latest product. Miyazaki famously called AI-produced art "an insult to life itself"—and this in turn is an insult to him.

Generally we think of alt-text as the domain of those with accessibility needs. However alt-text is useful for many reasons, which benefit your viewers, as well as you, the creator!

new thing in the bubblesort store: soft circuit kits & with a zine on how to make light up corsages 🌸💡 shop.bubblesort.io/products/flo...

You know what to do, internet! 😁😁😁

Empathy is cool and good

I remember coming across the (weird) book "How I Live Now" a few years back. I remember reveling in the description of the English countryside, wishing I could experience that amount of escapism. Then (spoilers) the war arrived on their doorstep. Feels a bit too close to home nowadays

I don't like Trump, but I'm seeing outright death threats on this app which is #1 a federal felony and #2 not something you can claim is "just a joke" in court. Please be careful. Have some class and call him a poopie head instead.

Normalize chasing your dreams in your 30's - - - Learn to draw in your 30's! Learn to cook in your 30's! Open that shop in your 30's! Write that book in your 30's! Start that podcast in your 30's! Pick up that guitar in your 30's! Do the thing in your 30's, or 40's, or 50's! It's never too late.

Preach. It frustrates me to no end how many people don't think to research, fact check, or intentionally form their own opinions #algorithmiccomplacency is a great term and already fits into our association with fear and "the algorithm" Also appreciate #nuance, yet another lost art on the internet

Scoop: The databases powering DOGE.gov are insecure, and people outside the government have already pushed their own updates to the site to prove it: www.404media.co/anyone-can-p...

Saw someone say, "End your friendships with people who are going about life like nothing is wrong." I will never understand people who think that further isolating ourselves from everyday people who don't get it is going to save us. It's not. Your judgment and disdain will not save us.

I watched this video this morning and it really has been instructive for understanding, well, a lot of behavior. youtu.be/bNOol5OTasw

I joined 350 of my Jewish clergy colleagues and other notable Jews in taking out this full-page ad in the New York Times to oppose Trump’s plans for ethnic cleaning of Palestinians in Gaza. Join us at saynotoethniccleansing.org

“Perhaps a $1,000 T-shirt and a $1 T-shirt are equally unjust – you’re just paying for one of them.” - Michael Kristy quoting some other unknown smart person I find myself going down more and more clothing technical and historical rabbit holes and they're very interesting. youtu.be/jQEBhkqw1zg?...

From @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social. "If you’re always consumed by the next outrage, you can’t look closely at the last one. The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

"What we are willing to do to achieve [the world we want]" is the million dollar question. Most people are scared/unable to protest. We need to make action seem as safe and convenient as social media blabbering. Any suggestions for realistic low boundary action? Donations are a good start.

In case you need snack suggestions, these rice cracker snacks are awesome. I just wish I didn't have to go hunt down an Asian market any time I want them 😭

I'm not sure about other countries, but you can also text the US hotline. And the shorter number 988 was rolled out a few years ago, so it's easier to remember. Sharing this link if you want to understand how it works before contacting them www.webmd.com/mental-healt...

You keep getting hacked because of lack of DEI in the cybersecurity industry. You only have one set of minds predominantly analyzing risks and proposing solutions. Get some people up in there that have dealt with risks in the STREETS everyday

"guys literally only want one thing"

Today I learned that #Edge has an automatically on setting that uses "machine learning powered auto fill suggestions" Not to mention it's buried in the Microsoft Wallet settings. Only reason I found it was because I was upset it saved someone else's email and was suggesting it for auto complete.

If you love this – and I do, with all my heart – and especially if you're going to be using it for research, please do consider making a donation to @gamehistoryorg.bsky.social. They're a non-profit organisation and every penny helps them to add more to the library: gamehistory.org/donate/

Well said, Pete Buttigieg

Sounds like a concentration camp to me but what do I know

I gotta say I respect that the content from Ben Stiller's bluesky account is just hype about the success of Severance interspersed with live posting about sportsball. I fully support celebrity accounts just being their silly human selves.

I want a #labeler that tells me if an account posts jokes or if a post is said with sarcasm It's honestly an accessibility thing, and it's rude to make fun of people who miss jokes that are intentionally confusing... I don't really care if it "ruins your fun"

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including: - Holocaust Remembrance Day - MLK Day - Juneteenth

I was interviewed by the MIT magazine “UnDark” talking about scientific communication about various issues, including vaccines, in a politically polarized world (undark.org/2025/01/09/i...)

I’m a domain guy so I find bluesky’s domain branding confusing. The default domain for users on the platform is bsky.social while bluesky’s main account and website is bsky.app and staff use either bsky.team, bsky.social, or their own custom domain

#SpotTheScammer Profile picture is from Instagram user zscottyb, spamming replies to posts asking for DMs

If you made this argument back in the day you were smugly dismissed as an economically illiterate lefty. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

@bsky.app Anxiously awaiting thread collapsing on mobile, high trafficked posts are a slog to scroll through

Looking for opinions. Would you want to be informed if you were following a #SpotTheScammer account? What's the Bluesky etiquette here until the mods/devs have it better handled? I don't want to be following anyone who follows scammy accounts, but I understand some are trying for account growth

Now bluesky has me wanting a chicken feed. And I say that earnestly Please resist the urge for jokes.

The most useful thing I can say about [gestures broadly] is that punditry is basically the act of crafting meaning out of events, and following pundits is in many ways outsourcing your own critical thinking. Be very careful about that.
