I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them.
I am busy af with my own job, I don’t need to do eight zillion more.

I'm always ok with my tax dollars going to feed people. All people. No matter what food they eat.
“My tax dollars are paying for their steak!”
Yeah, well, my tax dollars are paying for ICE to threaten and abduct my neighbors. Steak sounds better.

"This fucking sucks" and "all is lost" are two different sentences.

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

Unexpected package from Chewy contains one adorable portrait of my cat, Spike. The artist really captures his concerned expression. It's from an older photo but he hasn't changed much since it was taken, he still makes that face a lot.

The obligation to help mitigate the effects of climate change are on all of us but rest much more heavily on the wealthy and corporations that have been poisoning the planet for decades than it does on you not wanting to sit in a 90 degree apartment and don’t let anyone gaslight you otherwise

Yes, temperatures are rising. But more and more AC means more and more CO2 – and then more and more global heating. Let’s have some long-term thinking instead, writes Guardian columnist Emma Beddington

I ran into kd lang at the Symphony Hall Bread and Circus back in the 90's. I mean, figuratively, not literally. I wish I looked half as good in a white t-shirt and jeans.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

I can’t imagine that there are any ICE members who read my books and are on Bluesky, but just on the very off chance—you’re monsters, you’d be the villains of anything I write, the Church of the White Rat would work to bring you down, Alex Easton would spit in your face, and I hope you die alone.
In a massive show of cowardice Ice is now putting out video “demanding” Americans be nice to the Gestapo doing terrorism against them or else.
You know what that means America. Time to turn up the volume and show these Nazi cowards what we really think of them and their fascist terror.

Please enjoy this thread of Ginny the legal scholar parsing the edge cases of the household statute "cats are not allowed on the counter" bsky.app/profile/raha...
We have one who knows she's not supposed to be on the counter or table, but has developed a fascinating series of edge cases that parse the definition of "on the counter" with Talmudic precision. This one may be my favorite: bsky.app/profile/raha...

I always get irritated by people calling horror protagonists "dumb". It doesn't matter if they do your "smart" thing, they'll still get got! If they don't walk down into the creepy basement, then it'll turn out the monster was in the kitchen cabinet and the basement was the only safe place!

What happens when North Carolina turkeys get a presidential pardon? They (usually) die quickly anyway.
This state makes a lot of turkeys. Most are eaten. Some are spared. None of them last very long, with one exception.
