also, I never would have gotten this far without the generous @samuelashworth.bsky.social leading a lively virtual Ulysses reading group, which I just happened to stumble upon a few months ago on this very website via @hellafitzgerald.bsky.social. and rufus, who makes everything more fun.
I have ONE chapter left of Ulysses! ONE!!! you guys don't understand how long I went being unable to read for pleasure — which was a lifeline for me as a child and teen — due to grief/ocd/brain goblins, and now I'm about to finish this honking doorstopper.

I've been on Bluesky for almost two & a half years now.
Initially, I jokingly compared it to methadone, as against the heroin of prime period Twitter.
Now I don't think it's a joke.
Bluesky is methadone; not as fun or useful as Twitter was when it worked, but just as addictive & just as bad for you.

They have to say this shit because nothing less than the technological rapture justifies the Niagaracal wastage of other people’s money, and none of the things AI can actually do are worth that much
like this is not real or true thing that will occur, and Meta is likely the last company that's going to dominate in this emerging space given the nature of their duplicative cack
yet their mythologies are never seriously challenged by tech and business journalism
