I’ve got a big gay dinosaur book coming out this fall! Pre-orders make all the difference, so please do ask your favorite bookshop and library for Tyrant Lizard Queen. You’re going to love Snaggletooth. 🦖

This passage by @brianphillips.lol is fantastic.

Video of what appears to be multiple @tps.ca officers tackling & arresting a cyclist during a stop sign trap on the MGT. Cyclist - "What did I do wrong?" Cop - "You didn't stop." If true, this is excessive use of force for a traffic stop. Mayor Chow & @ausmalik.bsky.social plz look into this.

Today Microsoft moved all its GitHub copilot subscribers to token-based billing. If you want to see what happens when people have to pay the actual costs of AI, the day is finally here. It's obvious that every customer sees the deep, meaningful value and isn't angry at all.

Happy World Reef Day everyone!! 🤘💙💚 Despite covering only 1% of ocean floors, reefs support 25% of all marine life!🐠🐟🐡🦈 #reef #reeflife #WorldReefDay #sharks #fish #fishart #marinelife #corals #nature #wildlife #sciart #ArtYear #bskyart #art #ocean #conservation

Toronto Police out here tackling cyclists who slow roll a stop sign along a bike path. Nothing more important to do on a beautiful Sunday than encourage people not to bike. #BikeTO #Toronto www.reddit.com/r/torontobik...

ICYMI - @cycletoronto.bsky.social's Rally and Ride for Eglinton Redux is happening TOMORROW! We need to get as large a turnout as possible for this event, as well as at the Eglinton & Allen Intersection Study consultation at Forest Hill Collegiate afterwards. #BikeTO #TOpoli #VisionZero 🚲✊

$1.43 billion budget.

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

Writers: don’t excitedly share a cover reveal and neglect naming the artist/designer.

I understand the arguments about whether audiobooks counts as reading… but I kinda wonder why no one asks why we seem to find it derogatory to listen to stories in the first place. Storytelling was an oral tradition long before writing and reading was invented. People enjoyed telling & listening -

How many of these fucked up apologia pieces are we going to get before they give up

Omg so fun. A lot more Hutt stuff than I expected.

Going to go see a Star War today Can’t wait to see what happens to this cute l’il guy

Since Google revealed its plans for an AI search overhaul, visits to our "No AI" search page have tripled…and they’re still rising! Want to make it your default on Chrome or Firefox? Grab our No-AI extensions and banish AI-assisted answers, chat, and AI images. (1/3)

Oh hell yeah @amnesty.org comes out swinging: "Amnesty International finds that standalone generative AI systems... are fundamentally incompatible with IHRL. As such, Amnesty International is calling for a prohibition of such systems." www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

Anybody else coming to SfNC next week?

Really pleased with these two dragon sun catchers in purple and green! Each features ombre shades of glass and crystal that perfectly match the enamel colors on the dragon toppers! #handmade #gift #crafts #art Link: alaskanime.etsy.com/listing/4511339769/dragon-sun-catcher-fantasy-decor-rainbow

Remember when they brought out a grip of celebrities to endorse NFTs and we had a great moment of solidarity clowning tf out of every single one of them? So much so that some of their careers never recovered? Well, time for round two!

I'm not happy with today's drawing, but it is what it is. Not every drawing is going to be my best. Daily drawing 2433. #landscapeart #digitalart

If you ever wanted one of Sahasa's amazing sculptures, now is def the time to pick one up if you are able too. The funds go towards emergency vet care. Sahasa has really been so sweet and huge part of bsky #SciArt community, would be great to get a rally of support to help pay back that kindness.💙

"The AI can code like a novice coder, this is great, we can replace all of the novices with AI and just keep the experienced coders!" Where do the geniuses who run these companies think experienced coders come from? This is like watching the majority of farmers all decide to eat their seed corn.

Who would've thought encouraging employees to use an expensive product as much as possible with no oversight over than measuring how much they're using it could possibly backfire?

You know why women are the ones who don’t use gAI/on the frontlines of resisting and critiquing gAI? Because of shit like this. This feels like such a violation.

I genuinely feel sick. A company reached out to me on IG, linking me to an AI version of myself. You can even ask "me" questions. They are also advertising it using an AI photo of me. They told me if I like it, they will give me free access... to my own fucking content that they stole. /1

Memorial for my late dad this weekend so I'm gonna need a lot of extra bike rides to keep my head clear. I'm okay but messed up but okay, y'know?

If the history of the future is to be believed, it's that nerds will inherit the earth. But in this particular moment, I think it's the humanities nerds that will set the pace of the future. My personal belief, anyways.

Every one of these directors/producers jumping in with AI is convinced their skills are irreplaceable while kicking their hard-working peers to the curb. Praise the leopards all you like, but your face will still get eaten when the time comes.

We uhh... Totally didn't forget that today is our birthday. Nope. Not at all. Definitely not forgetting things in our old age. We're not having a senior moment. You are. But! We're 54 year's old today! 🥳 To celebrate, all books are 15% off for the remainder of the day in-store and online!

I think if Guillermo del Toro subtweeted me I would walk into the ocean immediately
