Someone should.

me when someone cites the deep magic to me even though I was there when it was written: holy shit, for real? I don't remember that part at all

Gentle reminder…

*sigh* If your Kickstarter video/image is AI, I won't back it. If your book has an AI cover, I won't read it. If you're a public supporter of AI use for creative work, I will unfollow you. I cannot stress enough how offensive I find AI use in the arts. It is outright theft, it is lazy, it is gross.

i think if you tweet "a whole civilization will die tonight" you shouldn't go to the hague, the hague should get to come to you

I get spam text messages every day, typically trying to buy my house (which is not for sale) or offering me a job (that I didn’t ask for). Today they were too lazy to even remove the AI garbage from the top before copy/pasting.

This morning's wake up call was a good reminder that sometimes we just need to enjoy the good things when they're happening :)

I took the German or Autistic diagnostic and scored Neither. I am apparently the control group. german.millermanschool.com

I hope when it happens, I find out the traditional way, the SPN meme

Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

rip to your land war in Asia but I'm different

Hemingway etc etc saddest four words etc etc

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

I am weary of The Discourse where folks take every opportunity to insist that the books are Bad or Cliche or [insert opinion here]. Sure, maybe, but the quality of the books is immaterial; it's all those profits going to a dangerous, powerful bigot that gets me. That's why I'm judging the viewers.

none of these descriptions nor the pixelated buildup could have possibly prepared me for the reality of this mascot o___o

I feel like people may have forgotten about this because of the way Twitter imploded so here it is on a different platform:

The formatting of this Beckett quote does still represent resilience and determination, just of a very different sort.

The website has launched. shootmenintospace.com

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

The world is a fucking nightmare, but hey, I bought myself a bag of caramel corn tonight, so I've got that.

I know there are many truly fantastic, moving , thrilling anime out there, and I respect the art form, but I mostly hate the animation style so much I cannot watch it.

tl;dr: more people should watch this gentleman's speech and think seriously about what he is saying bsky.app/profile/slcl...

me, logging in:

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this: I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

Ditto this. We have time to find a candidate who doesn't tactically throw people out of their own coalition. How hard is it to accept people for who they are?

Happy birthday to @stefstein.com, the best friend I could ever ask for, a true gem of a human being, my very favorite (even if she insists on living so far away). I hope this year brings you chill times, loving company, and occasional thrilling adventures. 😚

I love this statement by @catebridget.bsky.social re AI

Discovered today that Instagram had turned on (without my opt-in) automatic AUDIO translation of any reel that shows up in my feed not in English USING AI TO MIMIC THE SPEAKER’S VOICE and WOW it was creepy and upsetting. You can turn it off in “Language & Translations” in Settings. 🙅🏻‍♀️

The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance. bsky.app/profile/pron...

america could be such a cool fucking place if we’d just let it be

The list long actually, but lately I'd say it's "Truth is a Dimension (Both Invisible and Blinding)" by Josh Ritter. As an all-timer, maybe "The Only Living Boy In New York" by Simon & Garfunkel.

today's absolutely unimportant, trivial, petty annoyance: please, tiktokers, please! that's not what POV *meaaaans*!!

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Pie crust. I don't really care what sort of filling is in the pie - some of them are delightful; love a warm fruit, me - but pie crust itself is absolutely nothing to me. Waste of space and butter.

Ok timeline cleanser. Show me your teen celebrity crushes in gifs. (The crush remains, tbqh)

This song is seven years old and (sadly) continues to resonate.

Darren aronofsky congratulations... you have earned my strongest possible "ohhhh brother"

Quick question: what is the point of body cameras on individuals upon whom the administration has essentially granted "absolute immunity"? What are we meant to do with the first-person recordings of all those bad acts when there is no consequence to seek and no authority that will rein them in?

I'm not a boomer, I swear, but I found this song on a 45 at my dad's house as a kid and I listened to it SO MANY TIMES. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnnH...

Not that it matters, but holy shit I cannot stand Scott Bessent's stupid face. He's the human embodiment of Smug Prissiness gtfoh

Wheel of Fortune. *waggle*

*remembers that MN has some of the worst racial equity gaps in the country* Anyway, the official GFMs are in the thread
