Hello Bluesky!

You may know us as Tordotcom, but we are so excited to announce that we are reintroducing ourselves as Reactor, a new look and a new name, but with all the same short fiction, articles, and rereads that you know and love.

When bsky finally opens up next year, PLEASE keep blocking the right-wing weirdos instead of interacting with them.

Do not interact with them, do not give them a stool to preach from. They are counting on this reaction.

Deprive them of what they want most - attention.

I feel like the definition of being at “high risk” from covid really needs to include “high probability of messing up your health and life for months or years” not just “likely to immediately kill you.”

A 9% chance that I’m gonna be sick for at least three months is a pretty high risk!

This is the Nissan Snail, a small utility van from the late '80s. Except it wasn't actually called the Nissan Snail...its real name was much much better, possibly the greatest corporate product pun ever.

This snail-shaped small cargo van was...the Nissan S-Cargo.

I don’t think it can be emphasized enough that large language models were never intended to do math or know facts; literally all they do is attempt to sound like the text they’re given, which may or may not include math or facts. They don’t do logic or fact checking — they’re just not built for that
