Avon's older than we thought.

So in the wake of Google's full AI embrace on the search end, they've allowed Gemini to create Shorts from other people's videos, both horizontal and vertical. Here's how to disallow your videos from being used for it (for now) #YouTube #VSky #FuckAI www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3c8...

Block this trash on sight and follow the REAL publishers of actual human creators instead. go.bsky.app/C2tf7oZ

Zodd, and the War Crimes

NOTICE: Do you have an elderly or disabled neighbor in NYC? Be a good neighbor and let them know about the free air conditioner program. If they earn $3473 or less a month, NYC will cover the costs of an A/C. Remember…last summer we had 95 degree weather. Look out for them

Does anyone know of a small chocolate maker who would work with me to create a custom Bookstore Romance Day chocolate bar that participating bookstores could purchase at wholesale? There's tea & scent/body care & a candle is in the works & chocolate would complete the cliché.

I'm old enough to remember that their motto used to be "Don't be evil." I'm also old enough to remember when Google was a pretty hot search engine. Beat the pants off everyone. Look how far they've fallen. For shame.

Re-upping for the morning crowd, and the hopes of visibility.

Spirit Airlines Shuts Down: How to Get a Refund or Rescue Fare https://bit.ly/4tRHMCp

Apparently someone is STILL going around on Discord impersonating me. I have reported it to Discord, multiple times and they have done nothing. Best thing to do is report it. Coming in to my stream to tell me does absolutely nothing.

PSA - If you’re traveling at #MCVegas (or anywhere) and flew Spirit, please check out the latest news and make sure you have a flight back! apple.news/ABA9GUwZ8Txq...

What started with, "I'm bored" Me: "Why don't you play that piano in there?" has become an adventure of my husband dipping his toes into music theory. Now I'm looking for a nice poster, or art piece for the living room. And... the one poster I liked is being shown against an "AI" "drawn" background.

It's been a rough weekend. Here's a lovely piece of music from the Vince Guaraldi Trio, Cast Your Fate to the Wind. If it sounds familiar, it's the song that got him the job of crafting the soundtrack for A Charlie Brown Christmas. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAh4...

In honor of #EarthDay, here is a reminder that there is a bot account that posts a photo of the whole Earth from a million miles away, taken by the Deep Space Climate Observatory, several times daily. You can view all the images (and zoom in) here: epic.gsfc.nasa.gov

I just found out that an AI scammer is impersonating me in their spam campaign. I am LIVID. Please, please share this post. Warn people. I’m horrified that someone might be ripped off in my name. No one is safe from being impersonated like this.

It’s good that we all have something to cheer for that involves a positive aspirational vision of humanity.

Look at all that DEI sending astronauts around the moon.

What happened cannot be forgotten, or excused. People involved must be held to account. We can't continue on like this. It's untenable.

Good morning, Northwest Georgia! It’s Election Day. This is your moment to be heard — for your family and your future. I’ve spent 40 years in uniform. I know what’s at stake, and I’ll always fight to protect our kids from another forever war. Get up. Get in line. Go vote. #GA14

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption: "The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II" It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

✅#Artemis II update: 6 April, lunar flyby day! See nasa.gov/ways-to-watch/ @exploration.esa.int

Sit with this a moment. Then read Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot. Then sit with this again.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

There are people halfway to the Moon tonight. And that's a wonder. Go outside, look at the Moon, and hold that thought in your head.

Los Angeles Bluesky, I need your help. I just learned that on Saturday at the protest at the downtown Metropolitan Detention Center, a friend’s 18-year-old son was shot in the eye with a pepper ball by DHS, permanently blinding him. He needs justice. If you were there and saw anything, please… 1/5

Saw Hail Mary. First time getting my husband into a movie theater since COVID. Very small crowd, us and a few other people. What a delight that movie is. Ryan Gosling is rapidly becoming one of my favorite actors.

Aloha #uglydogs! I know Igivearod is over, but it looks like Nome could use some help with hungry puppers. 🐶

I know most of you don’t live in San Diego but here’s an Instagram post from the local food bank here with more information on how you can help. It also has info about the changes at the national level. The changes to SNAP are happening everywhere and they will be devastating for hungry people.

Illinois has same-day voter registration! Make sure you show up at YOUR assigned polling place with 2 forms of ID!

Cosplayers and Crafters: what's a good latex/rubber/silicone type glue for prop repairs? I have a piece that's bendy and may come off at the joint, that part can be stiff if necessary, just don't want it separating. It does go under a lot of carrying and heavy use

Saw Spiderman: Across the Multiverse tonight. It was really good. I've gotten good at avoiding spoilers so I knew very little going in, other than the obvious fact that it's a sequel. So all the twists and turns were delightfully unexpected. And, the animation is spectacular, even on a home screen.

I made an app. play.google.com/store/apps/d... Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby. I hope it's useful for someone. Nearby Glasses's open source, free and rather simple github.com/yjeanrenaud/... It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making

Now streaming.
