How petty am I?
I am still thinking about the fact that my 3rd grade teacher (a very good teacher) instructed me not to use slang when I said ‘vice versa’.

Kind of shocking to me that the UK does not subscribe to the civic culture of shoveling the sidewalk in front of your house when it snows.
In addition to removing an accessible source of income for the kids (my first paid work as a 7-year-old in Brooklyn!), it's treacherous out there.

So, uh. The consensus that it spits out is not really a "consensus," but is representative of a hegemonic view of what an answer "should be."
Given the overrepresentation of the global north in the data it scrapes, this has DISASTROUS consequences for a variety of fields, especially the humanities.

That was not the issue. My point was, that AI usually spits out what the current consensus is on a particular topic. Based on data it has scraped from a lot of sources. And on average it does a rather nice job at that. I don't expect it to be 100% accurate, similar to other information sources.

I haven’t read enough [read any]articles about how Yakub Elordis body in Frankenstein.
my beloved girlfriend has an inexplicable attraction to grotesque, almost supernaturally weird old men. guys who look like the adults from a roald dahl story. fellas who act like they were perhaps recently animals turned human through some unnatural bargain with the fey. not me though

NEW: We traced out a devastating outbreak of bird flu to its source: an egg farm in Ohio. Where the wind blew, the virus followed.
Within weeks, the farms downwind were about 20 times as likely to see outbreaks as those that weren’t.

What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic
Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.

We need to start talking about community servers to host data storage for important cultural work. This shit is abominable.

In the last chapter of Alice’s memoir, “Year of the Tiger,” she wrote her own future obituary.
The wonderful “oracle, storyteller, cyborg, trouble-maker, activist, night owl” we loved so much closed it with:
“Enjoy all of Alice’s good shit, and may you create some good shit as well.”

You were incredible, Alice Wong, and it was a blessing to have collaborated with you on projects, to have read your words and to have heard your voice, as full of life and passion and joy and rage as it was.
You made a difference—so much of a difference.
Rest always in peace, and always in power.

I’ve been thinking recently about the diaspora of academia Twitter & how M’s takeover created a void of reliable information. It undermines the entire purpose of this app (to save what made Twitter special), if blackballing journos & academics becomes common practice. A really fucking stupid move.
It is disturbing that you the power @bsky.app to shut anyone off willy nilly, especially journalists. We depend on this network for our work, to communicate with others. Even losing DMs (on election day!!!) was detrimental to my ability to work.

Sarah Kendzoir is not just an important journalist and academic voice nationally, she's very important to St. Louis and the midwest. My hunch is you accidentally cancelled her account, as you cut off my DMs, but now you're too proud to admit a mistake w someone so famous and make amends.

@bsky.app last week my DMs were cut off. Moderation said I could not be trusted.
Hours later, you said it was a mistake.
Then you cut off them off again—but said it was my fault, tho wouldn't explain (before turning them back on.)
Maybe @sarahkendzior.bsky.social's ban is a mistake, too?

The number of quilt jackets that I see, and I’m like “omg so cute!” I can’t remember who but someone was talking about the Vogue cover with Gigi Hadid as appealing to a deep sense of Americana conservatism…they cannot take crafts from me.
