www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ptx-... I really recommend starting a mastodon account. At some point you are going to hate bluesky as much as xitter.

Queer is the most inclusive letter of the group. It is basically anyone who doesn't identify as straight or cisgender. So yes, I suppose that would be "anyone who is not totally boring." PS, you should federate your account or start a mastodon account. Bluesky is corporate algorithm driven X-lite.

Out of craven self interest, I am beseeching you to bridge your bluesky account to the fediverse so I can follow you from mastodon. this is where you do it: bsky.app/profile/ap.b...

PS, if you do the @ap.brid.gy ting, please let your Mastodon fans know.

Hi. I'm trying to follow this account with my Mastodon profile, since I dn't spend time over here. According to Reddit, this is possible if you, John Scalzi, follow @ap.brid.gy

Since you post far more over here, I'd love to follow you that way if you are willing.

You might be thinking of Boss Nass in The Phantom Menace...

I saw this and all I could think of is the barrage of deep fakes Democratic candidates are going to be hit with come October.

Come on down to Oaxaca. I'll buy you a mezcal.

Interesting. If you follow the link, the headline is different, and it says nothing about her losing her job.

This place feels clunky and sterile with minimal user control, as if it wants to replace Xitter on its inevitable implosion. Maybe people who thrived on pre-Musk Twitter want that. I don't think I do. Convince me otherwise.

First question should have been: Did you know that President Biden submitted a comprehensive immigration reform bill on his first day in office and Republicans killed it?

The rest of the answers would be a bit different.

Right in line with my recent post about why studies erroneously say that comprehension and retention are better with audiobooks.

Spent most of my adult life in Tucson. Now live a bit farther south. Hello to the old pueblo.

Instant block and report if possible. It hasn't happened here yet, but all the time on IG.

I remember a cartoon from 20 years ago or so. It showed a new homeowner standing in his house with boxes laying around. his shirt was labeled "Windows". A mover was coming in with another box and the homeowner said "Just put it anywhere."

Without hashtags, how does one find content? How do people find my posts? This place feels very elitist. I'll stick around to read your content, since you post very lottle on Mastodon, but I see no upside in creating any content or promoting my work here. Nobody will see it.

So, I haven't been here very long, but I have to say I am not overwhelmed. Someone like you, who already has a large following, will attract readers very quickly. I had mor interaction and built more community in an hour on Mastodon than I have in three days here. (continued)
