I asked Microsoft Copilot if I should try Linux and it said Linux is bad and doesn't work and then recommended me five easy ways to stains out of shirts, I'm gonna try this "bleach + vinegar" one first (don't know why I never thought to combine those!) Linux could never teach me stuff like this

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

Cuomo and Trump's AI posts aren't just offensive or bad; they let us see the world exactly as they see it without anything in the way, which is how they want us to live our real lives too aftermath.site/ai-trump-cuomo

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

Microsoft pushes Xbox division to hit higher profit margins of 30% following its purchase of Activision-Blizzard ➡️ www.bloomberg.com/news/article... The $70B buyout has led to 'increased scrutiny' from Microsoft leadership. Xbox has responded by raising prices, closing studios and canceling titles

Even assuming that it is in fact like this, you're not going to build the committed vanguard necessary to eventually co-opt the revolution—which, in this time and place, must have a predominant liberal tendency—by yelling at people on this website. So, what are we doing here man?

Anyway here's Mihoyo promoting AI assisted game production including: "Efficiency in Image and Material Generation With very few materials, they can generate character model sheets + 3D models, allowing for the testing of multiple designs and their artistic outcomes." Something to keep an eye on.

Most of us who are covid conscious understand that widespread masking is not returning. But masking in healthcare facilities should be an easy ask. Getting folks to mask when they’re sick should be an easy ask. Cleaning the air should be an easy ask. It’s time we adapt!

Millions of Americans use weed to treat chronic pain, but there's little high quality research on whether it works. New findings suggest it can be effective for low back pain, on par with opioids.

I spend a year plotting a mystery novel and then this happens.

I think my worst quality is helping everyone until they've been taking advantage of me for a while and then getting upset that they actually don't want to do things alone anymore and just ask me... Because I will help... How do I stop?

NYT has become a bootlicking rag. The only good left there is @jamellebouie.net

That’s the other thing that baffles me about AI and creative writing, actually. The work IS the joy for me. I don’t want to be able to snap my fingers and have a completed “product.” I want to be transformed by the process. I’m an author but I do this because I enjoy the rigor of being a writer.

There is a bias among pundits to eye-roll and dismiss Dem opposition to Trump (such as the No Kings protests) as predictable. But in terms of raw numbers (both events and participants), what we're seeing is much bigger than e.g. the Tea Party movement was. Dems are a high entropy system right now

It’s all fun and games till everyone has lowkey PTSD and a dead relative 🙃

I am looking at the Newskies feed rn, and it's not a pretty sight. This wave will subside, when they realize nobody's engaging with them here they will crawl back to Twitter. Meanwhile just blocking, even if you have a strong desire to reply or dunk.

A lot of regular MAGA filth followed Trump administration accounts to Bluesky. Their only purpose is to troll, to trigger libs. Block them on sight, starve them of oxygen, let them scream into the void.

morning tea

Don't worry y'all I'm doing my part to scare those losers

"No Kings" illustrates the uncomfortable truth about US politics: That the > 50% of white US people that want to turn the US into a white ethnostate (their words) is a lot of people. But the > 40% of white US people that don't want this, plus > 50% of brown people and > 90% of Black people, is more.

Anyone who is online stoking flames between libs and leftists right now at this moment when the libs and leftists are actually getting along in the streets is either unserious or a bad actor

My body is a machine that turns spaghetti into heartburn.

Do good for others

i know the desire to fight with these sick freaks is strong but resist the urge and just block. it’s better for your brain.

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

So they're trying to farm a highlights reel of "libs/lefties are violent and evil terrorists" episode. They're trying to piss people off so they can farm screenshots of anything that can even loosely be interpreted as a threat.

white house has joined bluesky click here to block all official us government accounts instantly bsky.app/profile/did:...

Block fascists. There's no reasoning or arguing with them, you might as well debate with spoiled leftovers. Don't let them bait you. Block fast, block often, block fascists. Let their accounts mummify.

The reason they're coming after this place is because they can't control the people on it and it drives them nuts.

I am going to cyberbully the United States government

By all means, go protest this weekend. But BE SAFE, listen to experienced organizers, DON'T RSVP, WEAR A MASK, and turn biometrics off on your phone if you must bring it. And if you're arrested protesting in IL, I will represent as many people as I can pro bono. Email me at [email protected].

I actually think bright colors, costumes—even inflatable ones—funny signs, music, and street food are proving dramatically more effective as a tactical mater than black clothes, goggles, etc. Results seem totally decisive on this point. However I do agree about the importance of bringing water!

Take a picture of yourself at the No Kings rally. Print it. Put it in a frame. Your grandchildren will speak about you for generations to come. You took a stand against fascism. You stood up for democracy.

Comics is Hard. Support the publishers you love, gang. Buy their books, support their crowdfunds, and boost their promo. The margins are razor thin.

The problem with arguing on the internet is you'll be debating about what happens in your favorite movie you've seen 10 times with someone who has never actually watched the 90 minute movie but has watched 57 hours of video essays explaining the themes and thinks that's just the same.

"The Indiana Daily Student will continue fighting for our right to publish and report the hard stories, even if administrators want to stop us."

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are using a full-body restraint device called the WRAP during deportation flights. The AP spoke to a number of people who said they were placed in the device after they had already been shackled.

That’s it! I’m gettin’ me mallet!

Patriotism in general is the stupidest thing ever. Cheering for a nation as if it's a team sport. Instead imo, people should always demand more. Demand better. Nothing should be good enough. Patriotism can come when we reach an egalitarian society. Until then it serves no purpose.

Happy indigenous peoples day!

can someone explain why my cat tries to eat my phone every morning? seriously, he just wants to gnaw on it with big ol’ chomps
