Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

JK Rowling has denied the nazi persecution of LGBTQ+ people in the Holocaust, uses the money she earns to legislate trans people out of existence and asked her followers to photograph women going to the washroom. Keira Knightley: we all gotta figure out how to live together

You have to wonder about all these spam emails being sent to writers, offering ‘book promotion services’. Like, you really think trying to tap *writers* for money will provide a good source of income?

Aftonbladet's report is harrowing and should make anyone who doubted it feel ashamed.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

I don't know how it works in other countries, but sci-fi was not that studied in Italian schools. Huge mistake, not acceptable. I think that we should all read and study poetry, the classics and sci-fi.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

It can be incredibly hard to see your progress when recovering from depression or burnout. The whole world keeps demanding certain benchmarks of you to the point that it’s easy to feel like a failure despite your hard work. Remember your progress is your own journey. Every win means something.

When we say "billionaires shouldn't exist", it's because no private individual should be able to bully a government into enacting their own personal whims.

speaking of locked tomb, this muir quote is one of my favorite things anyone has ever said about writing and self-indulgence

... and two days later OpenAI admitted that ChatGPT's hallucinations can't be fixed because they're a side effect of how LLMs work. Stellar job there, @ox.ac.uk .

Every time I think about PhDs I get a slap on the face from reality and remind myself why it's not worth it. So glad I couldn't afford to study in England, imagine the amount of money and time wasted just to be exploited, devalued and impoverished by these institutions.

Rape is not just about power, it's about arousal and sexual desire too. Stop denying this just to prove your point about fiction.

In addition to scraping your uploads for "generative AI" training, Academia dot edu is going to start claiming rights to your personal info— *including your signature & voice*— for anything they see fit. So now'd be a good time to remove all of your uploaded works, & then delete your whole account.

I think those who hate trans people are under the impression that information about us somehow makes us "trans", whereas the reality is that all those feelings and unexpressed desires were already there, and then someone makes a word for it.

I lost mutuals and can't follow some artists in the tlt fandom anymore because some of them decided to stay mainly on twitter. I don't want to sound accusatory, it just makes me sad that people who are triggered and afraid of grokAI and the Nazis can't even enjoy parts of fandom anymore.

@moderation.bsky.app These new policies directly harm the survivors you claim to protect. You’re promoting a dangerous lack of moderation and making it hard for survivors to consent to what they see here. This is serious. These policies are directly risking lives.

Gli Stati Uniti sono precipitati dentro il loro ombelico. Se non fossero pericolosissimi sarebbero una noia mortale.

people always say "don't give them an excuse" and i always say "they'll just make one up"

Not enough talk about how you are never going to truly reach people who think they are chosen by a god, have no responsibility to other humans, and won't cease to exist when their brain dies

report this post, it almost definitely wont work but it should be reported for misinformation because it is

Buongiornissimo, ho bisogno di seguire più gente italiana, grazie al maledetto felon ho perso contatti con Twitter Italia e mi perdo tutte le notizie di cultura pop da mesi 😔

On a related note, playing animal crossing can help with trauma recovery.

Is there a luxury tax on British accents making all these actors broke or is it just the terf island background radiation making them all ignorant assholes

I'm not worried about the quality of generative AI being good enough to compete with our talent but of AI deluge that will make it hard for new voices to find an audience, no ladder for growth, and a surveillance CEO solving the problem he created w biometric human verification, aka data4dictators

i bought my cats their own laptop for when they hang out in the office with me and now they have to write emails and go to zoom meetings

I'm not sure what is worse, when reviewers say stuff like this or when (mostly male) reviewers called Poor Things a feminist retelling of Frankenstein

It's really fucked up the news media at large is searching so hard for humanity in machines, while systematically denying humanity to Palestinians, trans people, immigrants, and other persecuted people

"I reject the question" is a robust social philosophy. Metaphorically, literally, spiritually, emotionally: hit da bricks

Oh no.

I asked ChatGPT and it said that I was a credulous rube who would believe anything if the message was delivered with a sufficient degree of fawning subservience

Close enough, welcome back baron Isaac Tettares of the Fourth House

I'd say there's an episode of black mirror about this but at this point it seems redundant

The editors who published this should go straight to The Hague. I mean literally, according to the terms of international law such as it exists.

Paperback books are like velveteen rabbits — ours to be loved and squeezed and read and stuffed into shoulder bags and left in the sun and read and read again until there's nothing left but memories from something real

They said the same thing about radiology, students were dissuaded from pursing the field. They were wrong. Now we have a radiologist shortage.
