If you see elements in Marcela Bolívar's art that you think is AI, consider that her art -- like that of many other artists -- was used without her consent to train the AI slop machines. She created effects like the red glows on the cover before anyone could even use generative AI to do that. 5/

It has been an absolutely insane few days on Bluesky My sleep schedule is wrecked

I have never watched a basketball game in my life but I would just like to add my two cents that god is real and she loves new york

Person without kids here. It's the money!! I would have kids so fast if a) I had the money or insurance to make them happen and b) could feed them regularly and not have to pay out the ass for daycare!

After the tarp went up to try and stop the “Berlin Wall” moment, Cliff Owen of the AP got the iconic 📸 shot. 🇺🇸

bluesky has the juice!!!

Aquarius: This week calls for deeper introspection. No better time to take a stroll through the flesh-eating mists.

I love that the second scaffolding is out, all the musical theatre kids start cracking jokes

what if they’re just building an elaborate set for a community production of rent

HE HAD IT COMING HE HAD IT COMING HE ONLY HAD HIMSELF TO BLAME

a worker on the scaffolding turns around and a spotlight finds him. it's lin-manuel miranda! he begins to rap about john f kennedy. we've been had

BREAKING: Trump admin asks for a 12 hour delay in removing Trump's name from Kennedy Center, saying work got delayed due to thunderstorms. Crowd (including Rep. Beatty) has been outside the center most of the evening.

There's a part of me that's just got the vague, small, tiniest hope that the Scaffolding is the crew deliberately stalling so that the letters are up past midnight, to force the contempt charges lol

this is one of the weirdest nights in history

if they actually construct his ballroom I bet we could get Super Bowl numbers for taking a bulldozer to it

This is my new favorite thread

tried offering food but we gotta nap in warm palm first

A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

unions protect the rights of workers to take too long to build the scaffolding. if you think they are building the scaffold too high you are anti-union

What would be really funny now would be to immediately book a couple weeks of Les Mis at the Kennedy Center

Won't lie, a hot and humid day in a non air conditioned theatre adds a very specific level of immersion for Dancing at Lughnasa lol

guy has a trillion dollars, 0 friends, and has never landed a joke. I know a pact with the devil when I see one.

Rule number one of avoiding scammers: You call THEM on the phone number on your bank's site! Never let them call you. Rule number two: don't be ashamed or upset at yourself if they do fool you. Share your story to help others, like Courtney!

Something not a million miles from this happened to me, only in my case they asked me to give them a one-time passcode and I clocked it at that point. You think they won’t get you, but if they say the right things at just the wrong time, they really can. Question everything.

If you're a dog parent that has ever wondered if the monthly drops for the BarkBox lucky bags are worth it- yes, 10/10, absolutely We got it for Subie last month because we're still figuring out what she likes, and she DESTROYS toys. We got like, easily $150 of toys and treats and chews

I deeply resent that I'm still having nightmares about my old job five years later

Need three books and a movie

I just feel like shit. The comments on every local thing related to pride or the trans sports petition are awful. The crosswalk in Bangor is defaced daily. Our president is an oaf. Everyone is too busy snarking on Maine. We're broke. my dog died. My therapist might fire me for being a flake.

Author Jane Yolen (b.1939) died on June 11. She wrote books and novels for all ages, including Briar Rose, How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight?, and The Devil’s Arithmetic. Yolen won 2 Nebulas, a World Fantasy and was named Grand Master by SFPA, SFWA and World Fantasy. She served as SFWA President.

new funniest time/manner for it to happen just dropped

lmao

Sports, tv shows you have no intention of watching, televised political events

bluesky loves sports so much that I stayed up 30 extra minutes just to watch everyone watch this game. 🤣

When James Dolan cancels the watch party outside MSG, we bring the watch party to you. Thanks to the @nba.com, Knicks Game 4 is now playing on dozens of LinkNYC screens across our city. LGK.

Congratulations sports!!!!

You wanna see what it looks like when author incomes collapse? Make their books unavailable for libraries to purchase. Go ahead, Author's Guild. See how far that gets your members.

This is an insane read, and Vance fully comes across as someone who either wants the files released so Trump is impeached and he can take over, or that he was the source for some of this and is gearing up for a more sympathetic view of him leading into 28 lol

very happy to see that the oot remake sticks to its localized title in the german version

I am so grateful for them

Gay dog comic.

Remix this for the club

This is actually the secret chord that David played and it pleased the Lord

chat is it good when your head of state cannot appear on camera during the national anthem at a national championship match for one of your main national sports without getting lustily booed by people who are statistically a lot likelier than average to actually be in or adjacent to the ruling class

I've been reading a lot of books about birds, birding, etc, and my favorite part is that almost every single once of them has a "fuck house sparrows" chapter
