You can leave a comment for the FCC's proposed change to make transgender people of any kind inappropriate for children's media. Go to this link and let them know you are commenting in regards to MB Docket No. 19-41 A massive public outcry is needed on this.

The people banning books are never the same people who actually read books.

Just found out that AXIS has been disqualified as 10% over budget. Nothing to do with 20 staff lost to White House cuts, 6-week gov shutdown, moves to kill the Probe programme. The science was never reviewed. This is the result of political chaos. www.science.org/content/arti... #astro

This includes Ai checkers, to my mind. Has the @societyofauthors.bsky.social issued a similar statement? "Editors [etc.] should not upload any manuscript to or otherwise prompt consumer-facing chatbots with any author’s works without first getting the author’s written permission"

M57, The Ring Nebula, is a planetary nebula located about 2600 ly away in the constellation of Lyra. Kinematic studies of M57 suggest that it is barrel shaped. It appears as a ring to us because we are looking down the barrel. #astronomy

Being considerate to those of you who are squeamish, I’m not going to describe what all is involved in cataract surgery. But I will say I have acquired new respect for James Holden for enduring an 8G burn.

🖼 I picture Master Leonardo da Vinci, aided by AI, who—after writing the eight-hundredth page of the Great Book of Prompts—says in a weary, bitter voice: "Bloody hell, that’s not what I meant!" #AI #laziness #blackhole

I have spent more than a month with mismatched vision – a left eye that can only see far, a right eye that can only see close. Tomorrow I finally have my second cataract surgery.

Why does fiction matter? Because stories can sharpen the way we understand other people. A meta-analysis found that reading fiction has a small but positive effect on social cognition. Including our ability to interpret emotions, motives, and inner lives. ⏰📚💙📚🎧 #books #reading #fiction

Every once in a while I kind of wish that whole Jobu Tupaki thing was real 🥯

Cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written and I think it’s important to credit our sources.

I don't know how to explain to the pro-AI set that I want to be skilled. I want to develop talent and abilities and experience and knowledge. And I literally cannot fathom paying a subscription to pretend I have those things.

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

I’m so GenX I still have one of these:

Finally had a chance to sit down and read Fractal House and omg... Loved @mercwolfmoor.bsky.social's streamer horror! Such a visual and unsettling piece!

We posted an odd craigslist ad for a haunted attraction in Milwaukee. Reddit noticed. Then it snowballed (just a little). Here's what happened when @mercwolfmoor.bsky.social's Fractal House bled into the real world. www.patreon.com/posts/how-we...

Can you explain the strong nuclear force without colors? The idea of a "color charge" confuses a lot of people, and the analogy certainly has its flaws. Here's how to understand the strong force without colors, and without group theory, too. bigthink.com/starts-with-... #physics #proton #quark

what dark secrets are they hiding

I get that books are expensive, but authors deserve to be paid for their work. Don't steal books.

It’s fucking bizarre how people are acting like something from 2022 is something they can’t live without. Like dudes, the emotional dependence on a sycophantic machine regurgitating nonsense to encourage you to stop engaging in critical thought and trust the slop is truly depressing to witness.

This story was extremely fun to write. Loosely inspired by the Berlin art scene and a summer spent on dating apps a few years ago. Would you follow Cupid's instructions? 💘🤖🍸
