Disappointing to see successful actors choosing to support the work of a billionaire who uses her power to bully a marginalised minority. I worry for the kids that will adore the show, then look to its creator and either be horrified by her rhetoric or worse, inspired by it.

An AU me pal @dytabytes.bsky.social and I stirred up based on a Tumblr textpost! Law and Rosinante meet at Summer camp and their under-the-bed monsters have to share an under-the-bed and learn to get along and eventuallybecome friends. Monsters in this world are helpful and eat nightmares

Oh my god the PayPal call was SO FUNNY. The guy on the phone was like "We don't allow processing payments for explicit material."

So I hit him with "So if I were to go and purchase a copy of Game of Thrones online, my payment would be blocked?"

I think it clicked for him then.

don't go into the phd dissertation and say "well i think barbie should vore polly pocket" and expect to have it received well. do not walk up to someone playing dolls and go "well actually there's no evidence in the source material that barbie or polly pocket has an interest in homoerotic soft vore"

Two hundred UK companies are moving to a permanent four-day work week.

The decision comes after a trial where businesses tested the model.

Workers were happier and more productive, and the quality and quantity of work was unaffected or even improved.

so hey, not to be That Guy, but remember how SFF fans called for a boycott of Chengdu Worldcon on the basis of the CCP’s actions in Xinjiang and China potentially not being safe for certain authors? are we going to have a similar discussion about Seattle Worldcon given the circumstances, or -?

The famous green owl app Duolingo is going even harder into AI made by stolen content. It's not curated by native speakers so you have no idea if what you're learning is correct. Their algorithm overall tries to hit the happy brain juices instead of helping you learn. So here are some alternatives!

I want to highlight this stupid fucking bullshit because literally EVERY TIME an AI writing company has a website, they always have a screenshot that looks good until you read the words that are on the screenshot.

Someone tagged me into this as, in Drach's absence, the person on BlueSky most likely to know (without guessing) how navies handled cat poo. I am VERY offended.

But they're also right. 😆 Indeed Drach/Dr Alex and I were comparing notes on this back in November.

So thread: How cats shat on ships /1
Bad news: I wrote to the Museum of Maritime Pets in Maine to ask how cat poops and pee were handled on ships before litter was invented. They didn't know! But they're very curious, too, and want me to keep them updated. We can all make educated guesses but I want to see what actual records say.
