1) Four hospitals in Alberta have brought back mask mandates and Alberta HATES mask mandates. They're not doing this for fun.
2) I travel constantly for work and you better believe I mask. Laughing at me isn't going to stop me.

Dear Jon Stewart c/o @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social
I recently watched, with great surprise and disappointment, a weeklyshowpodcast segment in which you and other "personalities," gleefully mocked and derided the relatively small subset of individuals who continue to wear a face mask in public.

They probably already know this by now, but for artists who don't know yet, you can turn this off! In Create & Manage Invoices, there's a Feedback section with the setting before you make an invoice.
Apparently Paypal is now asking those who commissioned artists through invoices for feedback on the experience, Please never type anything, Its a trap. Just putting both yours and their accounts at risk of bans.

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons…
To deny a reservation to the author of a much-lauded book on how American economic unfairness forces working people into homelessness.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

This is a policy pretty much everywhere these days, in hotels and Airbnbs. When our ceiling collapsed a couple years ago, we lived out of our car for a day before we could find anywhere to stay -- we had money but literally no one would take us because we were local to the area...

before the pandemic. when the air quality was particularly bad, people would wear masks. during the flu season or whatever i saw people wearing masks
then the pandemic happpened. and then it "went away"
and now basically no one wears masks. even during flu season. even with shit air. 🤷 whatsup?

Disappointed to see Jon Stewart & co joke about masking in public. I do it for my medically fragile daughter (Batten Disease). People not masking properly led to her getting pneumonia, which led to her being on life support, which led to me getting price quotes on her cremation just in case.

🚨 It’s not too late to take ACTION. Last week, the house passed H.R. 845, a bill that would strip protections for gray wolves and block the public from challenging it in court. It now heads to the Senate. Call your Senators and urge them to vote NO: www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm

Remember, the Secretary of Transportation is absolutely terrified of this subway system. Just mentioning the ACE line will reduce him to tears.

LLM consciousness is exactly the same in character and quality as Pot Bear, a pot that I own that looks exactly like a friendly bear when viewed at a particular angle while drunk
"they will be, one day"
no, they won't, any more than tires can help you fly. They're not built for that. They're a fundamentally different technology. An LLM does not exist to model conscious thought, it exists to take advantage of your willingness to see faces in things that aren't there.

See also: scissors whether for wrapping gifts or kitchen shears, and large meat forks. Your floor can take the damage, your hands and feet can't.
As many of us begin Christmas meal prep, allow me to share the advice that my ER nurse sister puts in the chat every year:
A dropped knife has no handle. Jump away. Let it fall. You can pick it up and wash it.

go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

Merry Christmas everyone from Zooey and I :)
To the trans and queer readers, know you are all part of a community that looks out for each other and holds space when so few others do.
And I know days like today can be tough.
So please feel free to spend as much time here if you need to get away 💜

It's nice to live in a neighborhood where most of the indie shops have a version of No Ice or (Private Space Available/No ICE) etc prominently in their windows. Even the kids store has a banner flag that says "No Gifts for ICE"
