Have you considered using Bluesky poasters to transcribe characters? Because many seem equally able to read text without extracting any meaning.

A lot of media coverage of the ‘AI’ reading of the Herculaneum scrolls really fails to understand what’s happened here.

I only understand words 9-5 M-F

Pretty sure the whole shrimp discourse is just a psyop to sell the Onion. I’m afraid if you thought Alex Jones was bad then @bencollins.bsky.social should scare you right to HELL!

@travisview.bsky.social could you please tell Jake that the Mason song he recorded was fucking amazing, and possibly let us know where we could buy a copy?

I'm not sure how widely known this is, but Bungie made the entire original trilogy of Marathon games (developed for Macintosh) available as open source, and a group of fan developers created an engine called Aleph One to run them in. They are free on Steam: store.steampowered.com/developer/al...

Interesting. Someone should have suggested this…if only….

Just had a convo about bands at warped tour and my friend described one as "brass emo" and I immediately yelled "SAD TROMBONE"

Kawami is a 55-year-old bar owner. Unlucky in love, she was divorced at 25, separated from her daughter, and burdened with 30 million yen in debt from a man she dated.
