Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Holy shit. Noam Shazeer, one of the original authors on the "Attention is All You Need" paper and Character.AI founder, came out as major transphobe. Like Trumpian levels of "this is child mutilation" of transphobia. (via The Information)

I have to do many different small tasks at work. My executive functioning is not happy with this. (no advice needed, just grumping about it)

Gezocht (met spoed): een goede en lieve volkszanger Voor een gezin dat nog één keer samen Nederlandstalige hits wil horen en meezingen. Het gaat om aanstaande zaterdagavond, in Brabant. Uiteraard wordt de zanger betaald. Wegens drukte graag alleen concrete tips (dus niet “kijk op Showbird”). Dank ❤️‍🔥

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I was at a weaving workshop and it was SO AMAZING! Very cool. Less physically intense than I expected.

This is not even close to what I signed up for when I came here. I did not come to @bsky.app so that you could decide FOR ME what I want my social media to be like. Control over my own experience was the whole entire draw.

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

i absolutely do not want bluesky to automoderate my threads. this is *absurd.*

On this Halloween, a reminder that a sculptor included a Xenomorph gargoyle during the 1990s restoration of Paisley Abbey

Bumping this more visibly, as due to rescheduling I have extra spots open right now!

The ICC ditched Microsoft services and is using #Zendis OpenDesk instead. Zendis is Germany’s publicly funded center for #digitalsovereignty. OpenDesk is open source. This is fabulous news! So impressed by the folks who are & have been involved with Zendis www.euractiv.com/news/interna...

Sigrid Kaag en Frans Timmermans. De politieke leiders die ons hadden kunnen helpen volwassen te worden en die het hardst afgestraft zijn. Dat zegt uiteindelijk alles over verrechtse Nederlanders en niets over hen.

Chagrijnig wakker worden: het autoritaire, nationalistische, xenofobe eigen-volk-eerst-blok verovert een derde van de Kamer. Links verder uitgehold. De VVD, die gisteren danste op de vulkaan, komt er bijna ongeschonden uit. Maar hé, we krijgen misschien wél een homoseksuele premier. Vooruitgang!

I have the best little brother. He's coming over this afternoon to help me rearrange my bedroom, because I can't do it myself (disability yaaaay!). 🥰

Iedereen heeft het steeds over strategisch stemmen, en welke partij je dan voor welk resultaat moet kiezen. Echt strategisch stemmen, is zo kiezen dat je niet het hele blad hoeft open te vouwen, want dat scheelt enorm gedoe 😎🤣

Israel has bombed Gaza again. 104 Palestinians are dead. Critical aid being let into Gaza remains far below agreed levels.

Link's perma ban is wrong and should be reversed.

Reposting with Alt-text:

Weet je wat cynisch is? Bontenbal zegt iets discriminerends over homoseksuele leerlingen en het heeft meteen electorale gevolgen. PVV’ers maken schadelijke AI-beelden van Timmermans en er volgt meteen afkeuring en actie. Maar alle bagger, haat en racistische AI-meuk over migranten? Moet kunnen.

Sometimes cis people join in on the gallows humour and like. If you are on the gallows and there's no rope around your neck you look like an executioner my guy

I found a capybara pebble🤎

Klimaatmars!

Clocks go back in the UK tonight. They change in the US on November 2nd. Welcome to the Week When No One Knows What Time It Is 😆

Worf is both historically and forever the hottest Star Trek character but also have you seen Michael Dorn without the makeup? It's WILD that they covered that man's face

Fakking bizar.

"We have to face the fact that Corona is now a part of life" Yeah. I am facing that fact. With vaccinations, masks, and ventilation. Nobody says, "We have to face the fact that winter exists" and runs around in bathingwear all year, windows down, doors wide open. Pure clown shit

In 2026 zal de Nederlandse overheid intern vrijwel exclusief via Amerikaanse Microsoft servers communiceren. De "Cloud Kootwijk"-moties zouden een alternatief moeten bieden. Maar tenzij we verstandig stemmen komt er geen geld of aandacht voor: #NerdVote #TK2025 berthub.eu/articles/pos...

There's a series of these, which include (based on which ones I've seen) Boss, Man, Pet, and Kid. the four genders.

"YOU THERE BOY! WHAT DAY IS IT?" "It's Christmas Day, sir!" "So I'm not too late!?" "Yes you are, we all know you're a wife-beating piece of shit who leveraged his fame and privilege to sue his victim, and no amount of ghosts are changing that."

Thank you so much! In an hour or two, I should finally be able to utter words that are not “OH MY GOD STEPHEN KING HAS READ ONE OF MY BOOKS!”

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Is er al een stemwijzerStemwijzer? Want dit is nogal een lijstje, en dan mis ik de afvalwijzer.org bijvoorbeeld nog. www.ewmagazine.nl/nederland/ac...

@irisverhulsdonk.bsky.social ha! Ik zag je like op mijn post over de liveshow van vandaag, dank! Heb je hier ruimte voor een vraag die ik had willen stellen tijdens de borrel (als ik je had gezien), maar waar ik niet was, aangezien mijn gezelschap naar huis wilde?

Haagse Zaken Live in Paard in Den Haag, tezamen met mijn "politieke klaagzang" appgroep: m'n moeder, m'n tante, m'n vriend, en zijn zoon (die pas vanavond aan de appgroep is toegevoegd, maar goed 😂). @lamyae.bsky.social fanclub represent!

weird reading gripe: I'm noticing an uptick in similes and metaphors that don't quite work. it'll be like "bitter as seawater" or "in constant motion, like a cockroach." like, I get the vibe the author is going for but on a mechanical level it doesn't make any sense.

Hallo, ik ben Els, en ik ben expert in "I told you so"-dansjes. Al kan ik me indenken dat het LGBT Asylum Support hier geen hulp bij nodig heeft, gezien hoe lang ze dit al roepen... www.nu.nl/binnenland/6...

She's at that cusp-y age where she can almost work out food, but still needs some help. Apparently syringing milk into the baby requires full supervision.

Hey C# gang, apart from the canonical “undo history”, “web navigation history”, and “check parentheses” leetcode examples, how do you use a Stack<T> in real life? This is a serious question. It’s definitely not the first thing I reach for, and I’m struggling to think of practical use cases for it.
