How was that ten years ago? Anyway, I'm crying, goodnight.

if you are a bigot or support bigotry or act in a movie built on the profits of hate, people are allowed to not like you 1. because bigotry is bad and 2. because people generally DONT LIKE THINGS THAT HURT THEM. like this is so obvious. it is not 'canceling' it is an exercise in basic human autonomy

'wait when did chuck tingle get political?'

'hey what are you up to over there? wow thats pretty cool.'

#WritingComminity If you can read this, block @attie.ai If we as a collective userbase block it, development will become pointless Attie needs to become the #1 most blocked account on Bsky Remember, they chose GenAi vibe coding before giving us the ability to EDIT POSTS

Gentle reminder that Nonbinary ppl are also Trans. We are represented by the white stripe on the Trans flag.

I need to move somewhere more affordable; they're all healthcare deserts. I've had appalling experiences with the system here (not least my incompetent former GP, & several gaslighting/unhelpful specialists), but at least I've had access to care. Better the devil you know? www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

I had the displeasure of riding the new Eglinton Line the other day. It opened February 8th, but the seats are already worn & filthy, especially along the front edges; that pattern ain't hiding jack squat. They are by no means comfortable. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

It's been a really stressful week. My body isn't handling it well. I'll write below about the goodness that emerged from the awful; that's what's giving me strength as spring finally arrives in this hemisphere. People can be so wonderful. Those who don't choose kindness are their own enemies.

I'm admittedly kind of evangelistic about radio.garden, but oh well, you're just going to have to endure me blethering again about it. Every glowing green dot on the globe is a location with at least one online radio station. You can listen to radio from anywhere that's currently on air. 🧵

First of all, I'm not running unless it's an emergency, never mind w/ a baggie of cream sloshing in my top. Second, there's perfectly good butter at the store, it isn't anywhere near $10, & 35% cream is WAY more expensive. Third, if a friend served me this, we'd be done. www.cbc.ca/news/world/h...

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

Here's my idea about writing: If you hate to write, don't write. And here's my idea about reading: If you can't read, STFU about writing.

Does anyone from Ptbo recall a song that played on Trent Radio in the 90s, "Dave Beardsall, Huck Finn of the Otonabee?" 😎 Anyway. I grew up on a lake. The rule was, no matter how solid it looks, once the weather goes above zero for even one day, you can't trust the ice for the rest of the winter.

This is fucked up man www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

What authors and publishers pay editors for in a developmental edit is literally their time and expert analysis. If a developmental editor is charging you money to offload that work onto an LLM, you are quite actually being scammed.

It'll be a cold day in hell when I hand over my MS to AI, or an editor who uses it.

Anyways.

Signal boost! ❤️

Again, I cannot emphasize enough: do not go to the US even if you're privileged enough to have never been scared or worried of a border crossing in you're life. Do not go ESPECIALLY for something as optional & outrageously expensive as GDC. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

People were giving this b.s. argument 35 years ago when I was in uni. It's still garbage, & dodgy AF coming from a guy who dropped out of college after 2mos & never got a diploma. All education is vital. Especially for understanding when politicians are full of 💩. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The only surprise is that this number isn't higher.
