openly asking people to ratio you is really odd and a good reminder of when friends gently remind me it is time to walk my dog for an extended period instead of looking at my phone

How is THIS messaging off??

ARE WE OR AREN’T WE building a Qatari facility in Idaho?

Is it an airbase, or just a hangar for the plane gifted to the felon?

There should be an AI labeler if there isn't already.

#Sora is a scourge upon humanity. I hate that this slop is showing up everywhere now and it’s not easy to tell some of this content is not real. I am going to start blocking it here, but I wish someone would create a label for the AI generated content.

Matt Novak @paleofuture.bsky.social · 2d

OpenAI’s Sora puts a watermark on its videos but not enough people know what it means.

To complicate matters, people have built tools to easily remove and (oddly) add a Sora watermark. Sharing real videos with an AI watermark can make for a funny joke, but it also really fucks with the landscape.

I went to see that with my dad… it was a bit uncomfortable as I recall. But I absolutely loved that film. Definitely need to rewatch it.

I just looked it up and I think you are correct. I checked my bird list for this specific region and we do get California Scrub Jays, so thanks for the identification assistance.

I know, right? I absolutely loved her.

Get ready, folks. If you are in the greater Reno/Tahoe area, we are going to be in Winter weather starting next week. I won’t see snow in South Reno, but temperatures look like they will be getting into the low 30s. 🥶

Anthony Edwards @edwardsanthonyb.bsky.social · 1d

Models are trending up 📈 for #snow in the #Sierra and #Tahoe from Monday-Wednesday. This morning’s data has 15-20” of snow at @cssl.bsky.social near Donner Summit. Some of this will melt initially due to warm ground temps, but this would be a memorable October snow. #CAwx

This little twerp, who’s been there a few months, axed two of the lions of WaPo??

Fisher is an investigative champion and had been at The Post for 39 years. Hoffman had been there for 42, and he won a Pulitzer LAST YEAR.

Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social · 5d

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.
