It's seven years since we posted on Twitter about how kids kept coming into the library asking if we had any books about FORTNITE. We didn't back then, and we'd never heard of it so we tried asking what it was.

@samreich.bsky.social I want you to know that I'm watching Babylon 5 right now. The phrase "I/We have always been here" comes up several times during that show. However, thanks to YOU all I hear is "I've been here the whole time".
I hope you're proud of yourself (you should be).

I'm sure I will lose this status very quickly, but at least I will be able to say that I once had the biggest Danish account on Bluesky.
The two most followed Danish accounts on Bluesky are @anderspuck.bsky.social and me.
Looks like a large amount of the people interested in Ukraine etc. have taken the jump over here.

Alien: Romulus is pretty good, got to see it last night. I really like how hostile to humans they make the entire environment seem. Andy is an amazing addition to that whole part of the movie too. Do not watch it for the space physics, though. Spoilers in reply tweet.

I spent several years on unemployment assistance which was in the same area as this and: It's an absolute lifesaver. The amount of energy you spend on money when you don't have them is insane.
These “we did a trial run of UBI and all the statistics show that it really helped in every way, now the trial is over and we’ll do nothing with that info” tests are really starting to feel like those Flat Earthers proving the earth is a globe with science and then ignoring their own findings videos
Individuals who received the $1,000/mo or $500/mo payments were more likely to find a stable, full-time job than before they received the basic income.
Results showed 45% of participants secured housing, while $589,214 was saved in public service costs.
"It's freedom. It's freedom from poverty..."

As long as you’re talking about this can you please use your platform to point out that it’s never actually a contronym? Literally’s use as an intensifier doesn’t carry a lexical meaning of “figuratively”, it’s much closer to “hyperbolically”, but really just an intensifier.

A catatonic woman awakened after 20 years. Her story may change psychiatry.
New research suggests that a subset of patients with psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia may actually have autoimmune disease that attacks the brain.

In theory, I only care about the Helldivers debacle to the extent that my friends who enjoyed the game are no longer enjoying themselves.
In practice, I love a good mass strike-out against a big corporation.

So Utah, having passed a transphobic bathroom bill, has launched an online form for people to snitch on folks they think are in the "wrong" bathroom or locker room. Be a real shame if people on the Internet flooded it with fake reports: ut-sao-special-prod.web.app/sex_basis_co...

The United Nations says the world hasn’t seen anything like the unprecedented destruction of housing in Gaza since World War II, and it would take at least until 2040 to restore the homes devastated in Israel’s bombing and ground offensive if the conflict ended today.

Someone out there definitely needs to know that you can get an RPG named Cattails, where you play as a cat. I don't know who you are, but I've been on the internet. Some of you are interested.

Apparently, she wasn't aware of the metaphorical use.

![“Potentially, what you could do with [AI] is obviously use it to engineer storytelling and change storytelling,” Russo said. “So you have a constantly evolving story, either in a game or in a movie or a TV show. You could walk into your house and save the AI on your streaming platform. ‘Hey, I want a movie starring my photoreal avatar and Marilyn Monroe’s photoreal avatar. I want it to be a rom-com because I’ve had a rough day,’ and it renders a very competent story with dialogue that mimics your voice. It mimics your voice, and suddenly now you have a rom-com starring you that’s 90 minutes long. So you can curate your story specifically to you.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p6axwbgwhtlglpsgvsih4tzx/bafkreibp4dr4kuis72d56uk6wxxp42erto3ekop6idnwbukfx6rdzl242y@jpeg)

Please borrow my book from the library. I love libraries. They are the best. They are good for readers, and good for books, and also very good for writers. Please support your local library in any way you are able to, including by checking out books.
Not only is borrowing books from the library something you can do, it's something you *should* do. Supporting libraries is good for authors *and* it's good for libraries. Go get a card, walk inside, take out some books, read the books, books are great, libraries are great, life is amazing.
