That discord AI survey going around was not fake, the URL is linked to Discords account with the survey providing website as it matches prior official usage It is not stealing your account, nor are there "invisible AI bots" in your server that you have to ban People are just making shit up again

For those going "huh?" The picture below is currently circulating. There are no references, specific survey links listed, or any way to verify the claim. Please don't boost things like this.

thankfully I buy stop n shop store brand frozen tots (a lot) but if you use ore-ida or sysco tots, take a break from em

I feel seen

Vaccines save lives. That’s it. That’s the post.

Watch out for the ONE question where they try to trick you by putting "I want AI" as the bottom option where EVERY other question has "I don't want AI" at the bottom!

Tell discord "fuck AI" If they integrate AI, I'm getting rid of my server and account discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I hate AI’s usage under capitalism, instead of being a useful tool, it’s a poison. I don’t want to collab with ReichTubers even if they are huge! Companies can fuck off I don’t want your blood money! I have morals and I’ll stay by them.

I just want to make something explicitly clear as a publisher. If you are using generative AI, we will not work with you. No AI art, writing, brainstorming, nothing. I won't entertain any debate or attempts to get us to change this policy.

We all, and Iowa in particular, deserve a truly gigantic preying mantis wandering the corn.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

A former djinn lamp, the occupant freed back into the world long enough ago that hints of tarnish have crept across the surface. It has been repurposed into a quite functional oil lamp, although hints of its former purpose remains in the peculiar hue of the dancing flame. #WhisperingInfinities

A mug, painstakingly carved from a single piece of crystal glass; the flat pieces are etched with images of animals at play and growing plants, such that it shines like a diorama in the light, creatures stalking through forests together. #WhisperingInfinities

Gods fucking weep, WHAT!? Do not do this. Do not ever give this machine your data. Do. Not.

A true marvel, a metal box sized to fit on an average dining table, with a hopper on top and a dispensing chute at one side of the base. Anything could be poured into the hopper, prompting the machine to hum and pop before dispensing a small package, no two alike in contents. #WhisperingInfinities

A collection of game pieces for a strategy game akin to Go; one side in polished gold, the other in sterling silver. The box containing them was made of tiled black and white marble and detailed with fanciful images of sailing ships in action, carried on the winds. #WhisperingInfinities

A logbook of an explorer and prospector who visited numerous strange worlds of the Void of Twilight Stars; each entry with a page to detailing the official report, and then two or three more recounting their direct experiences there and what they discovered or dug up. #WhisperingInfinities

From a world where the apocalypse has happened multiple times, you had a necklace of aluminum pop-tabs on a cable of sterling silver, stainless steel, and gold wire all braided together. It rattled gently with every movement, a reminder of life and curiosity. #WhisperingInfinities

go.bsky.app/RRDgj6j Reminder that I only share images with alt text (no matter how much I love them). I even made a starter pack of VTubers who use good alt text 💖 lmk if you want to be added! Alt text is the only way some folks can enjoy an image. Use it, and use it properly!

Folks can make their own choices, but passively witnessing atrocities through a computer screen is not taking action.

important message to all bluesky users

I want to do a thread on "Small Press Red Flags" brought to you by years in the trenches combined with some issues I’m seeing pop up again in writer circles. Note: an isolated incident might not be a red flag, but cumulative flags are always worth examination. First off: Let’s talk about money.

one of the best things you can do is go back and delete a topical or political post you made 5 minutes earlier. it's unnecessary, no one will miss it, and now no one can start fights with you over it

Plain and simple my politics is that nobody should be wealthy enough to make their insecurities my problem.

Reminder for everyone operating at situationally-diminished capacity.

This sums up where I am, aside from ‘what the absolute fuck’, which can be taken as a given

Time to dust this one off again

Among the many reasons you don’t kidnap a foreign head of state at gunpoint even if you have the capability, is that it sparks consequences you can neither control nor anticipate.

New one used to be "TwitchDating" and "Digi-Ko.com" which, all I can find on the second one is Crypto/NFT or a deviantArt with no posts... so, while I cannot confirm the type of person who runs it... I can guess.

I have a lot of mutuals following their accounts 🥴 They have 3 different accounts - please block and do NOT give them your details!!! @mytipme.com @mytipme1.bsky.social @mytipmesupport.bsky.social #VSky

GOOD NEWS! A group of patients with an otherwise incurable form of T‑cell leukemia have seen their cancer driven into REMISSION by an innovative immune therapy known as BE-CAR7. 82% of patients reached deep remission and 64% of patients have now been disease-free and OFF therapy for THREE years.

Their mascot is AI and they try to harvest banking information from users for scam purposes. It's blocked for me by a blocklist I subscribe to so this is the first I've seen of them. They seem to be targeting Vtubers so please keep an eye out. Here's the alt text for that image:

So it's 2026, when are all of you posting art and photos without alt text going to start using it and not reposting things that lack it? You can mark a setting to prompt you to include it, and it doesn't have to be an essay. Help visually impaired people out, y'all.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

@jonathanlhoward.bsky.social Happy new year to you, and congratulations on surviving the last one again.

Happy New Year! 2026 is going to be a PACKED year for Kitfox. 👾 Caves of Qud on Switch, Expansion Pack updates, mobile port and localization 🧙‍♂️ Magic and Diplomacy in Dwarf Fortress 😈 Thousand Hells launch news 🏛 Streets of Fortuna Alpha test 🚀 Ship Combat + 1.0 news for Ostranauts and more!

Why the merry hell did all the tabletop nerds I know not yell a lot about this?

As we observe Public Domain Day I want to call attention to Ars Magica. It's now been more than a year since we declared the text of Ars Magica 5th Edition, plus a lot of supplements going all the way back to 3rd Edition, under the CC-BY-SA 4.0 license. atlas-games.com/arsmagica/op...

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

Results from the first part of our fourth LIGO @egovirgo.bsky.social KAGRA observing run are out today! We're pleased to share the largest catalog of gravitational-wave observations with more discoveries of black holes and neutron stars 📰 arxiv.org/abs/2508.18082 🔭🧪⚛️☄️ #GWTC4
