For online communities to thrive they must have rules, and those rules must evolve as the community grows, changes, and learns. I'm glad to hear Bluesky is paying attention to this. techcrunch.com/2025/08/14/b...
Bluesky rolls out massive revamp to policies and Community Guidelines | TechCrunch
Some of the changes represent an effort by Bluesky to purposefully shape its community and the behavior of its users, nudging them to be nicer and more respectful of others.

I've been reading #Ironheart since issue #1. Love her MCU character even w/ some differences b/w the comics & the MCU versions. I enjoyed 99% of her Disney+ show.

I am absolutely FURIOUS with how badly they blew the ending of that show. Such disrespect to the character & the audience!

TFW you discover you missed that @dennisetaylor.bsky.social wrote a new Bobiverse novel months ago, but Amazon didn't link the Kindle and Audible versions. (Yes I'm that sort of weirdo that buys books in 2 formats. Amazon sometimes makes this mistake. Also, if you like scifi read the Bobiverse!)

My final job at Google was as a Program Manager specializing in online content moderation. This week's Last Week Tonight takes a great look at how truly difficult moderation is, especially at scale. It goes by quickly, but pay special attention to the statue example.

I've owned a copy of this book for many years, it's amazing. Here's the story behind it (article may be behind a paywall).

She was a novice cartographer who landed a dream assignment: to create an atlas of the setting of “The Hobbit” and “The Lord of the Rings.”

The Overview Effect, my new favorite YouTube channel, scores again - this time with spin gravity! From 2001 through the Bobiverse and everything in between, he's got it covered.

I feel like enough people I know IRL or people from other social platforms I'm interested in are starting to show up here. Maybe I should start using this channel more? Or turn on feddiverse postings so Threads crosses over here?

The Overview Effect is my new favorite YouTube channel. Here's a new video visualizing the relative real-universe locations of the planets from the Dune books:

@scalzi.com I'm totally enjoying Starter Villain but what a surreal first few chapters it was for me! I was also laid off this year & just lost a family member to pancreatic cancer. And the funeral home staff was eerily similar. As best I can tell so far I'm not inheriting a villainous organization.
