You ever have a situation that fits into a storage unit auction as a metaphor?

Like, you never KNEW what was in there but everything pointed to it being full of good stuff, but then your partner implies that "it's empty actually." and you have to decide whether or not to still bid on it?

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

I know it won't be but. If Wicked pt. 2. Isn't carrying the energy of the last scene in Wicked pt. 1 for three hours, i will be gravely disappointed. This is MY avengers Endgame.

Trapped in the audio dissonance between a Fire tablet, at top volume, playing Kindergarten the Musical and an iPad playing the CBS morning program lauding the vision and genius of Elon and I'm getting vertigo by the competing inane discord.

twitter hiding replies from me is how my stalker was able to reply to me for months talking about raping me and cutting me into pieces without my knowledge. he was violating my protection order and i didn’t even know it.

it kept him out of jail.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

Hiding replies without my consent is *dangerous to me*

I use the mute function extremely carefully for a reason

I need to know if people are being violent at me so I can take action to protect myself

I need to be able to choose for myself who hidden

Thanks I hate it.

Also like I enjoy artisinal blocking, and I want to know if people are saying toxic things to me so I can deny them access to my posts in the future???

I assumed it was because i didn't have any friends left 😂
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

Whether you voted for him yesterday, voted for someone else, voted anywhere in the hope of righting this ship, I think we need these words.

It reminds me of the last scene in the Neverending Story, nothing is left but a grain of light.

Huh. All my investments are up the day after a wave of Democrats were elected. I wonder if this is a consumer confidence metric.

For decades now, fans have been loving the extended editions of the Lord of the Rings movies. Has it been long enough that we can get the abridged versions? 1:20-1:50, each?
