The new thing is landlords using ai photos for their property listings. Totally legal. Total scam. The whole economy is oil and scams.

If you feel you can speak up, do. Goodyear didn't know about the problem with Myhrvold, because many reporters aren't specialists who'd even know to look. It's not always safe to say something, but, where possible, it's so important to talk about what's happening if we're going to change it.

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened. And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday said House Democrats will demand that ICE be banned from the use of tactical nuclear weapons without a judge's order.

being a writer is amazing because one hour you can have a spiraling existential crisis and the next you can write 500 words like nothing happened 🙃

‘Abolish ICE’ has become an increasingly popular position and people are being shot in the streets over it why the fuck would you dillweeds roll over like this. Especially given that citizenship is much more friable than people think it is this is not as protective as dems want it to look.

Wildlife tracking tips. A wintry comic from last year.

Movies aren’t always meant to be shunted into categories of like and don’t like. If you leave the theater or press “exit” and you’re thinking “Ok I don’t know about some of that, I have thoughts,” congratulations you’re engaging with art! Its own special thing.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I've noticed this. A lot.

[observing someone’s obsessive passion project] wow i really like whatever’s wrong with that guy

This group of teenagers behind me is discussing their favorite brands of water and I’m just wondering when this generation became septuagenarians

remember, folks,

It feels really performative at this point, but a reminder that it’s National Day of Mourning for Native folks Relatedly, thousands of Native women are still disappearing and agencies are doing fuck all about it Learn more here: www.niwrc.org/mmiwr-awaren... And here: notournativedaughters.org

Absolutely wild. She was 8 when she entered the country. An unjust system is to blame here.

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

I miss the era of when shows had so many episodes they would have to do holiday episodes.

"Dickensian"

You're told it'll sabotage your career if you're a vocally politically opinionated, queer, woman. But things sabotaging my career are systemic xenophobia, sexism, and horrible job market. Which are a direct consequences of people not being vocally opinionated in the first place.

Okay, so you cannot avoid a Thanksgiving event, and it’s not entirely under your control. You’re home from college, you live with your parents, your spouse isn’t ready to process how awful their natal family is. It happens. THERE ARE STRATEGIES YOU CAN EMPLOY TO YOUR BENEFIT.

Ah, I'm awake again. Time to open the psychological harm app

Everyone is a muppet except for Daniel Craig MAKE THIS HAPPEN

Nanotyrannus attacking a young Tyrannosaurus is super common in paleoart especially in the last few weeks. Won’t stop me from depicting it too. Enjoy the new #watercolor. #paleoart

Reminder that anyone who says "a writer must do this," "a writer cannot do that," is WRONG.

getting a text in the middle of the night and it's just my loathsome vizier saying "Your enemies lie in wait, my lord!!" what am I supposed to do with that. its four in the morning

Saw a sign about Flock cameras in my podunk home town the other day and it gives me so much heart to see how pissed off people are about this.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Shutting down the government is a big deal. People have been hurt in big ways as a result of the decision. To have that suffering be for nothing—to re-open the government without actually having protected people’s health insurance and economic well-being—is unconscionable.

There are many good science fiction novels. Not a single one that I have read delivers a happy vision of the future in which aged right-wing billionaires control the media.

🐧 Puffin fact #2: Puffins are amazing flyers. They flap their wings up to 400 times a minute, reaching speeds of 55 mph. Underwater, they “fly” through the sea to chase fish! 4/5 #BrushWithTheWild #WildlifeArt #Puffin

Nobody *needs* to drive. What people need is to get around. A century of bad urban policy has led to the two being synonymous.

Beyond embarrassed I got confused at 12:30 in the morning and let 🧊 into my yard.

it’s fucking insane that you can log off for a few hours and come back to find trump invaded another city in his own country

Feeling very at the end of my rope.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

I no longer see job listings in any of the areas that I used to find employment in that aren't centered around AI. Unemployed 2 years now. People are debating this fucking topic like it's theoretical, but it's ruining people's lives in real time as you debate minor points on the issue.

if you’re a writer and have an idea but you’re thinking “idk how to stretch this into a novel” and that discourages you from finishing… consider just writing a short story or a novella. you don’t actually need to write a novel for a story to be worth reading

I really hate who I’ve become.

There are far more disabled people pretending to be well than there are pretending to be sick. Being on disability is not fun. You’re forced into legislated poverty. Treated like a “useless eater”. Shunned, abandoned and constantly questioned. It’s dehumanizing 🧵

Writing is done when it’s done and not a second earlier, I don’t know what to tell you.
