i prefer when folks wearing babies strapped to their chest face the baby forward so it looks like the parent is just an assistive device for a little wobbly tyrant

Paging @ripeteeth.bsky.social

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

idk man 'AI powered Catholic priest' seems like a great way to procedurally generate heresy, which is very funny actually

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

I'm having this weird thing atm where at work I'm The GenAI Doubter in a way that's rapidly going to become problematic for my career, and outside of work I keep running into people who think I'm The GenAI Shill for saying that 'there's literally no good use case for it' is an absurd position

So cool how people I thought better of feel emboldened to RT the super funny joke that is "stranger in mental health crisis is soooooo weird" if LLM's are part of the punchline.

Fellas.

Kids are wild man, our 3yo URGENTLY needed to be a cyclops so he drew an eyeball then spent afternoon in full character as “Mike Wazowski” pretending to be meeting us for the first time, walking around the store with a paper plate strapped to his face calling me Robert asking me if I have any kids

Does @australianlabor.bsky.social realise abolishing the partner income test for Centrelink payments like DSP would likely win them the election? Oz friends, sign & share this Parliamentary petition. We don't have disabled marriage equality, but we could. Just 10k signatures = debate in Parliament!

Dental care should be covered under Medicare. Last time there was a minority government, the Greens secured free dental for 3.4 million kids. It's time to finish the job. Everyone should be able to afford to see the dentist. We've done it before. We can do it again.

From a new piece in the NYT. This is why I don’t have patience for his collaborators to “process,” especially since we’ve already known for months. It’s horrific that his agents continue to represent him and it’s horrific that his collaborators stay silent.

FUCK YOUR DISCORD. IT'S A SHIT REPLACEMENT FOR WEB FORUMS. I DON'T CARE IF YOUR CHANNEL HAS PINS. FORUMS HAVE PINS, AND THEY AREN'T BURIED OUT OF SIGHT. Don't get me wrong, I like my chats on Discord, but I don't like it for knowledge sharing.

MERRY CORRUPTED BLOOD INCIDENT

Year of our lord 2024 there's a new ranma 1/2??????

One of the hardest things for some leftists to do is to accept that marginalization doesn't ontologically mean incapable of harm- I have met so many people who believe themselves defanged on the basis of how the world oppresses them.

night blooming 🌙 flowers that bloom in the evening to attract night pollinators like moths and bats

I've been doing some silly lil colouring in sheets and thought id be clever by buying them off etsy to print, and can i just say. my left arm to be able to filter out AI generated shit 😭

All day, I’ve been seeing references to the Bell Riots, and I kept meaning to google it but kept getting sidetracked, but I was SO SURE I was going to find a Wikipedia article about some historical event, but no. It’s Star Trek. It’s always fuckin Star Trek with you people.

I do not think this will have the same effect, but if you insist

My sister illustrated her cat’s adventures with an IKEA bag earlier today

You can tell who did and who did not moderate IRC/phpBB/whatever back in the day, because all of us who did learned the true shape of online group culture: your culture is the shittiest person you don't ban

ICYMI: Here are the transcripts of the first three podcast episodes containing the SA allegations against Neil Gaiman. The transcriber @kathryntewson.bsky.social is currently working on the fourth. drive.google.com/drive/folder...

This Romeo + Juliet interactive CD-ROM is a real time capsule of late '90s graphic design.

I urge young people not to fall for the easy route of “going goblin mode.” Take care of yourself, exercise, and eat well. This will ensure that you are healthy enough for the coming war with Heaven

"Honey, the strike is over, time for me to go back to work." We embrace. I close my office door, carefully remove the cover from my typewriter and insert a sheet of paper. I crack my knuckles, type HOSPICE SHELDON and stare at the wall for 9 hours.

Citronos devouring his children (2022)

it's time to rob the dragon it's time for elven sights it's time for giant spiders on the hobbit show tonight it's time for bilbo's birthday it's time for barrow wights it's time to fight the nazgûl on the hobbit show tonight

It's funny that if Bluesky ever does take off, Jack Dorsey will go down as the undisputed king of microblogging platforms and he will have absolutely no idea what makes any of this good or why anyone uses this. It'd be like if the inventor of the dishwasher was a dalmatian.

waddup nerds its time to get BISKY
