Community highlight: Lemonous built the “Space Guppy” — a tiny, human-scale ship for their character, perched on an asteroid near Shae’s Light! 🚀✨ Truly an inspiring build! #StarsReach #CommunitySpotlight

Finished up a commission for @lemonous.bsky.social ! It's her DnD character and her personas :3 I had sooo much fun working on this!

I'm going to be honest here, I think AI is going to do so much damage to the usable internet that even after it's inevitably crashes out, it's going to take years to disentangle from every space it's polluted, like digital asbestos it's gonna be time consuming effort and likely expensive venture.

truly, i kept trying to tell people this. "they're going to keep rolling back rights even if dems win everything. that is going to make it harder to win elections in the first place too. what's the plan." and it was "just keep winning anyway until they die, i guess" bsky.app/profile/wowc...

It's hard to over-state how, for a large fraction of the country including almost every conservative, their political stance on protesting amounts to desperately hungering for the pain, suffering, and public execution of any whiner or "attention-seeking loser" who does anything resembling protest.

"Not for you." Palestinian citizens of Israel--21% of the population--are being excluded from bomb shelters on the basis of their ethnicity. This is the society the West will defend at all costs. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/6/...

historians is it good when the robe Nobles are able to buy the positions and honors typically reserved for the sword Nobles?

I think we need to start to grapple with the concept that large swathes of the left are also very anti immigration, albeit for not quite the same reasons, and for a lot of those people, anything that divests from those undeserving foreigners in any way is considered a step in the right direction

I’ll save you some time: while interracial marriage was legalized in the US in 1967, majority approval didn’t happen until the mid to late 90s.

The cruelty of this is, genuinely, staggering. This is a policy that saves virtually no money whatsoever whose success is measured in the number of children it kills.

transition care for trans people is life saving healthcare. the only regret with my transition is that i didn’t start when i was younger. fuck everyone who is cheering on the destruction legal trans healthcare, and fuck those indifferent to it

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

fuck all of you for abandoning trans kids. "i turned out fine" fuck you "its a distraction" fuck you "its not a death sentence" FUCK YOU

How are thinking adults in Dec 2024 still acting like Israel is “selecting Hamas targets” and not simply blowing up anything that makes life sustainable pursuant ethnic cleansing. There is no “hunt for Hamas,” it’s pretextual. We know this. HRW, Amnesty, the ICJ all have long reports detailing this

I have a brilliant plan, all I need is: - the copyright to everything - all the money in the world

Machine learning is a technology. Gen AI is political. And that politics is brutal neoliberal permanent growth at any cost. We are forever promised that AI will take away tedious toil, but only ever see it replace creativity and thoughtfulness. It doesn't make any of us the best version of ourselves

And if you need an example of what that sort of violent apartheid looks like in practice today: in Israel ethnosupremacy is a critical factor in deciding whether you're human, or just subhumans routinely shot to bleed out on the street as anyone who tries to save you is exterminated for sport.

We have had a no pepe rule on the Kitfox Discord for years and it's surprising how many other dev Discords still allow them.

The UN has now formally found Israel's genocide "consistent with genocide", including the use of weaponized starvation. www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Some genuinely terrible people whining about the "block culture" here on Bluesky is how you know the block culture is working, keep blocking those genuinely terrible people, folks, soon the only people they'll be able to bother here is each other

Mm so they want journalism without journalists, images without artists, books without writers, and performances with no actors. I dunno seems like they just hate everyone and this whole thing is incompatible with humanity and should be dismantled stem to stern I dunno I dunno

Layoffs as they are done now, are scientifically proven to be unprofitable and IMO a symptom of the brain rot cause by, and fetishization, of 'tough decision making' and when I say scientifically proven, check out this segment from the really eye-opening write-up from HBR: hbr.org/2022/12/what...

Fucking hell. Hugs to everybody laid off at Bungie today, and also everyone who's left and mourning their colleagues. You all deserve better. 😭💙

Progress flag because hell yeah. Among country flags, I think the flag of the Seychelles is my fave

Obscure shark 5: Angular Roughshark (Oxynotus centrina), AKA Chonk Shark, AKA Mr. Chonkasaurus. Count Chonkula challenges the idea of how a shark is "supposed" to be shaped. LOOK AT HIM! 🧪
