Every person on Bluesky should know: * Every post on Bluesky is PUBLIC forever * Every post on Bluesky is archived by ICE, NSA, and many other agencies * Even if you delete a post, it’s already been captured * Judges don’t care if you were “kidding” or being ironic www.404media.co/the-200-site...

LLM AI means you need more persistent experts and more sceptical generalists to spot fake stories like this www.platformer.news/fake-uber-ea.... It’s a metacognition issue of certainty and confidence.

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years. Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

This happened to me in real life. #xenoblade #xenobladechronicles

It shouldn't be understated that this severely cripples PBS & NPR, especially non-metro stations - but make it known it doesn't spell the END of public broadcasting outright. It always has been built off public donations, & they are now as critical as they've ever been. www.pbs.org/about/about-...

hacking the US or leaking inside info may be scary, but you know what's even scarier? war do the right thing. use ur skills, use ur knowledge.

If you're in the US the bare minimum you can do is to take 5 minutes to call your local representatives and senators about impeachment. Your government has been fucking evil and it's time to flood their phone lines and emails.

So for the last little song snippet of 2025, I figured I'd end things on a upbeat note with "Spacewalking with You." This is probably the most fun track sonically I've done in a minute and I'm pretty proud of the retro sci-fi vibe I was able to pull off with the chords. Art by halcyotis

Update: I emailed the opt-out address listed on their website and got a reply. But, I never. Should. Have. Had. To. Opt. Out. I’m so tired of these tech companies & their entitlement. DoorDash putting small restaurants on their apps w/o permission, AI scraping our sites, & now this? It’s exhausting

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.

know what the 80s were like? Open, mainstreamed homophobia and racism. Bullying. Saber waving foreign policy, union busting, AIDS downplayed while it was out of control. We were required to believe it was all great.

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience. Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense. They admitted it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

So I finally have the time to do promo on some of the songs I put out for Vast Error Vol.6. First a snippet of the song "Cure For What Ails You" which is a collab between me and @dbnet18.bsky.social. If you like kinda whimsical orchestral music, give this a listen. Art by @bakudadadan.bsky.social

It was reprehensible when people mocked condom usage at the height of the AIDS pandemic. It is just as depraved to mock those wearing masks to reduce the spread of airborne viruses today. Whenever someone takes any kind of step to protect public health, they should be applauded, not mocked.

tips for users who are new to bluesky

Benny Johnson just called for trans genocide at Turning Point USA's AmericaFest, declaring trans people to be at war with "creation itself" and calling on the FBI to "start kicking in doors" and to "round 'em up". The entire crowd gave him a standing ovation. We're racing toward Stage 9.

literally fuck anyone who doesn’t see at this point that it’s an organized nationwide effort to make trans people unemployable. every trans person they push out of public life is a win for them & a whole hell of a lot of cis people need to start stepping up and saying fuck off to freaks like this.

That one troll from that one web series idk anything about #homestuck #vriska

Please keep contacting your representatives and demand they oppose repealing sec230, and oppose internet censorship/surveillance bills Get friends and family involved, february is when they are going to make a major push

it's the season

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is. It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

If you're in Oregon, please call these three folks and ask them to 1) Protect Section 230 and 2) Oppose KOSA, SCREEN, and other internet bills. Tell them the bills aren't well thought out even if they sound good on paper to these reps. Don't forget to put your name, zip code, and city!

this article really lays it all out on how much we rely on section 230 please do not rest on your laurels, contact your rep and advocate for protecting Section 230! www.congress.gov/members/find...

I am not trying to fearmonger but if one of these people is your representative please call them and tell them to vote no on "Protect Children’s Innocence Act, H.R. 3492"

"we USE ai, but our game wont CONTAIN it" is a clarification that no one has ever cared about & now CEOs are using it as a wedge to get their foot in the door as a part of a long term plan into normalizing AI, just like how 'it's just placeholder' was used with E33. dont cede even an inch of ground

while industry figures, dressed to the nines, filtered into LA's peacock theater last week, protesters chanted "the industry is dead" outside of it. despite how often geoff keighley says the game awards exist to "celebrate" games and the people who make them, many feel ignored

Next day repost!!

You need to read this thread and you need to be calling every representative you have and threatening to literally never vote for them again and donate your time to getting them replaced if they do this. If you don't, it's basically the end of the internet.

Playing the Pokemon Z-A DLC rn. Ansha just made something she calls the "forever weed donut." Should I feed it to Hoopa?
