This is getting much more serious. Please limit your time outdoors please stay informed about the wildfire smoke and where it is headed. SHARE THIS MAP. I have such a bad headache and we live in one of the black spots. It's BARELY begun, here. I don't know what we are gonna do on Friday. 🥲

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

not saying anything new, but if these folks actually believed in genAI writing, they'd disclose it, tout it, and build their own audiences elsewhere and leave others be. hiding and sneaking it to markets who want no part of it doesn't prove you're good at writing. just proves you're good at fraud.

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

#bookidentification #tipofmytongue #whatsthatbook #storyidentification #whatsthetitle #booksky I read this sci fi series in the 2000s or early teens. Humans set off to explore another world. They discover the other world has been deliberately technologically inhibited by killer sats in orbit.1?/

So I've been advertised this Zaavi range of Transformers art by someone called "Thumbs" as if this a wonderfully curated and created line by a major talent... But it's just existing art by other people with the word "Thumbs" slapped on it. Of which this is the worst.

I love this podcast. Go listen!

This might be one of the most insane scandals in game history When Pokemon Go players scan PokeStops, theyve been unknowingly building a detailed visual model of the world which is being sold to a military contractor to build a no-GPS positioning for the new generation of unmanned killing machines

Annals of AI fuckups: an author forwarded me the email below, in which the book club scammer mistakenly sent the AI output instead of the intended email pitch. Note the "strategic analysis", which illustrates the scammers' boiled-frog approach

and to the trans people with psychosis/bipolar/schizophrenia (or PTSD etc), i.e conditions that often prohibit you from accessing trans-affirmative care even in areas that are generally more accepting. because nobody accepts that we can ever be trustworthy about our own experiences

@pugsteady.com You know a lot about old TTRPS, right? Can you remember one that's vikings meet wild west? I'm sure I saw it in either the 2000s or teens but can't remember the name.

The first warning arrived on a Tuesday morning, six weeks after consultants advised moving from dependency on six hundred small excel scripts - and nobody at Zenith Ledger Advisory paid much attention.

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

@sarahkorse.bsky.social I'm going to be visiting Sweden soon. If I ask for directions at the bridge, will they direct me to you? "I'm looking for Sarah. She has a cat." That's enough to go on, right? Joking aside, I'm sure I'll be back on here by June. :)

Pro tip: If you, like me, have to sit with some really raw survivor stories in order to do you job, have Tetris close at hand. More and more science is stacking up to show it helps process recent trauma, and antecdotally, I can 100% confirm.

Eric Swalwell has ENDED his campaign for governor! Make sure every California voter knows to NOT (repeat NOT) vote for Swalwell!!! It is too late for names to be removed from the California ballot. As such, Swalwell’s name will still show up on the ballot.

"All eight pages showed up completely penciled and inked and Wolverine was stark naked throughout the entire eight pages, full frontal and rear view. “And I called up Sam and I said, ‘Sam, this is very nice. And Wolverine has a lot to be proud of. But it's comic books, and we can't print this.’"

Do not watch Sesame Street on Tubi with the subtitles on 😭. I swear, I didn't edit or add anything. Is it hilarious? Yes, but also, they need to fix this immediately. Absolutely incomprehensible and bad

I can never ever be in NASA because if I was in charge of the moon mission I would have ordered every single person on the retrieval crew to be dressed in a gorilla suit and act like they were shocked to hear the the astronauts speak
