genuinely i hope they do. bye bye shitheads 👋
It’s become a very boring trend for stupid rich people to threaten this whenever someone they don’t politically like gets a chance at power and it’s our job to reply, ‘Good. Off you fuck then,’ every time they do it.

I miss talking on social media.
Ever since twitter became a hub for callout culture and artist witch hunts, I pulled back completely. Even though bsky feels different, it's hard to go back into sharing thoughts... to present yourself as a person again.

why does bluesky have to be a viable full-spectrum replacement for twitter? why can't it be a place to hang out with your friends?

Are people so technologically illiterate that they really believe these LLMs are sentient and not just pattern recognition algorithms?
Can we fucking stop with this?

“One of the most unsettling questions of our times”??

Get in the sea. How about you interview the workers these lake boiling slop machines are replacing??? Do you think these PEOPLE suffer at all?

If rich people don't want a guy to be mayor then you should vote for that guy to be mayor.

I've seen some vocally anti-AI people recently make an anti-AI post and be surprised there are still pro-AI people following them, and I can explain this;

most pro-AI people think they are somehow the exception. the way THEY are using it, SURELY you would take no issue!

well, we do. so fuck off.

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

tbh lost all patience for those who say they're still fans of hp, even if they say "despite jkr" or "i buy fan made stuff" or "hp's ours not jkr's". trans lives are more important than fictional wizards. today is only one example of the tangible impact jkr's bigotry has had

“Hank, why are you spending so much time defending the freaking /minecraft movie?/“

Actually, I’m not defending anything, I am attacking the practice of dumping buckets of jaded misery on moments of goofy joy and I will absolutely die on that hill.

It is not enough just to hate genAI. You do also need to support real artists- buying product, subscribing to their memberships, and most importantly for free by giving rebleets and comments. Outrage is not enough, there also needs to be undeniable support.

“I want to do [creative endeavor].”

Then do it.

There will never be a “perfect” time or set of circumstances to start.

Even if you start whenever those magic imaginary “perfect” parameters are met by you, people will still criticize you.

Keep yourself too busy learning and creating to care.

did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

Hey now more than ever it’s important to treat yourself with some positive self talk.

The world is loudly cruel and unkind lately, do NOT succumb to the pressure to hate yourself.

You are strong. You are kind. You are trying your best. Things will be better. Keep fighting. ❤️

Bluesky is a great site but you have to unlearn EVERYTHING Twitter has ever taught you to make it useable.

Repost yourself. Interact with others. Use tags. Use feeds. Be kind and find kindness. Comment away. It's really really freeing.
