Netflix: I implore you. Find a good author and release Benoit Blanc novels. I will buy hardcopies of every one. I promise. Is @straczynski.bsky.social available?

Incredibly frustrating conclusion on this article. Academia is going to make the same mistake it did with Wikipedia. This prof couldn't come up with a way to teach his students to use ai because he refuses to use it himself

Photographers / videographers: has anyone talked about the "Maga lighting" trend? Conferences, fern talks, speeches, official portraits -- they all look like the were lit by an open refrigerator door.

Okay yeah, they are't coming back until January at least

What's unique about this particular lie is: not even cognitive dissonance can combat it. Everyone knows it's not true! Everyone buys groceries. Everyone buys stuff from Amazon. We all have to buy stuff just to live, and it's all way more expensive than it was at the beginning of the year

Not for nothing, Mamdani's graphic package was top

Every portrait from this administration looks like it was lit from an open fridge

Tearing down a third of the White House isn't exactly shooting someone in Times Square, but oof is it close.

Trump really doing everything Osama bin Laden could only dream of

The internet is half down today, but you know what's up? My SHOP! And I have a 20% Fall sale running right now. so what else are you doing? www.scottwurzel.com/shop-art #photography #fallvibes

Trump and Musk share a commonality of somehow being both quite clever and extremely dumb which I (and others) have found confusing. I have a model that has been working. I think they’re both clever guys with extremely narrow worldviews.

You haven't had representation since mid september! bsky.app/profile/scot...

Trump moving around your tax money on his whim as congress sits on its hands. The rest of the country now knows what its like for DC to not have voting representation in congress. Time to bring back its motto nation-wide: no taxation without representation.

FYI: with the previous No Kings in DEC a few months ago, they barely acknowledged it existed. Full blast counter-programming this time. What changed? 🤔

He's shutting it down for the rest of the year because of that discharge petition. At minimum through the Nov 4th off year election date

Stuff like this makes me think more and more this is a "yes" bsky.app/profile/scot...

Hrmmm.. 🤔 This got me thinking. We aren't waiting for the Dems to make a deal. We're waiting for a house member to agree to withdraw their name from the Discharge Petition.

So no Military pay until at least the 20th. While the military will continue to show up, I predict all those newly minted ICE agents are going to suddenly catch a flu next week.

It's important to note that Democrats attempted to gain recognition in the House today to pass a bill to pay the Military. The Speaker did not recognize them

Dear, DNC: be the Party the GOP thinks you are.

I'm beginning to think the House may never go back in session

Wedding 'tog Landscape Boudoir

I am just so fucking proud of her.

GOP then: "The Left is going to impose martial law!" GOP now: "I only feel safe when I see armed soldiers on every street corner. 🫣"

Thank you!

dude's pic is in the dictionary next to "Reagan Appointee"

I joined bluesky to share my art mostly. I've slacked on that, so on yet another ugly day, I thought I would share something pretty. I call this one "Borders." It's from Olympic NP It's part of my "Tide & Timber" collection: www.scottwurzel.com/tide-and-tim... #photography #landscapephotography

It's becoming increasingly clear that if/when this all blows over, we'll need to ratify an omnibus of constitutional amendments addressing separation of powers, etc.

I've been reaching for a way to express how I feel about all of this bullshit. "Empathy Paradox" from @skepchick.org is exactly the word I was looking for. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6MS...

As I get older, no story from my teen years metastasizes in my mind like "The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas"

This is the most detailed look inside Tyler Robinson's Discord community I've seen and yet again, it gives us absolutely no clear motivation, political in or otherwise. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

Rewind two weeks and the coverage of Charlie Kirk's death is indistinguishable from Cracker Barrel changing its logo. Just exhausting

It's telling that the mainstream narrative is that Charlie Kirk's death was political violence and we have literally no evidence yet

"The troops are assigned to stay in hotels, most of which are located in suburban Virginia. Housing is among the biggest expenditures. " Oh, not Maryland? 🧐🤔

My em-dashes are hand made — long pressed even. I was using them when you were still dialing into AOL

frankly i am already tired of explaining very basic stuff about life in the dmv to people who live hundreds or thousands of miles away, yet act as authorities on the area. either help us or leave us alone.

All of this focus on the crime of having no house, when this nascent police state has yet to address the real crime in DC: escalefting.

It's sorta interesting that right-wing dictatorships always end up in the same place no matter where they started. Trump the maoist

Everything conservatives warned about the Police State for my entire life is playing out right here in DC.

When Michael Jordan felt boxed in by his success in basketball he tried baseball. When Gary Brooks became synonymous with country he created Chris Gaines. And when JK Rowling created the most successful kids books of all time she reinvented herself as a petty, weirdo transphobia influencer.

It's sort of interesting that when these folks list the things AGI* will solve they never list the wealth gap as one of those "root-node problems" AI will solve. And it's the deepest root. *none of the AI we have is AGI, close to AGI, or likely to be AGI. When we have AGI, it won't be from LLMs.
