To an extent.

Like, the nostalgia was great, and it's really hard to beat something like that for discovery, but after a while, you sort of find your niches or your current obsessions, and from there you want to go deeper, not wider. And then the portal is just something to click through.

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

I briefly considered using it once

And then realized "at the point where I'm writing a detailed description and covering my corners and doing all of this, I might as well start writing it in code from the get-go anyway, the typing isn't the hard part here"

Alt: Agent Smith, a man in a black suit and tie wearing sunglasses, says "Me too" in front of a fence, having just been changed into this form by another Agent Smith in The Matrix: Reloaded.

The fact is, the conversation around trans rights _isn't_ healthy discourse - a fight for the right to exist cannot _be_ a healthy discourse. Fights over rights cannot healthy discourse in any society.

Modern framing of rights fights as something to be debated has broken society irreparably.

will this healthy discourse project change anything about allowing journalists writing articles calling for trans people to be erased, but banning palestinians in need of aid, trans people and even just people who make somewhat crude jokes

We’re system architects at core. We built a decentralized network so you could run your own moderation, but beyond that our upcoming healthy discourse project is taking some swings at the interaction model that drives these dynamics on Bluesky. Excited to start seeing it in action.

My stories were stolen for AI training, but I get no money or credit.

Every time you use AI to write an email, it's because you need me (and thousands of other people) to think for you.

This mean short stories and articles published in anthologies and collections aren't included b/c while the larger book has an ISBN or ASIN, the individual works don't. This also means works published in magazines and online that were pirated but don't have an ISBN or ASIN are also not included. 5/

@clppng.bsky.social this shot felt kinda perfect

clipping., comprised of Daveed Diggs (front, holding a microphone), William Hutson (back left, unfortunately partly obscured), and Jonathan Snipes (back right); the scene is heavily fogged, you can see a few audience members' heads in the foreground, and the word "BLESS" (as in "God bless the red", lyrics from Say the Name) is clearly visible behind Daveed's head, which is perfectly centered on the bottom of the word; out of context, the image could be mistaken for him holding service.

I'm sure it is a concept widely familiar to the Ruby community that:

If it walks like a duck

and it talks like a duck

then it's clearly a neo-nazi for all intents and purposes.

"If you are trans, a migrant, black, overweight, childless, have ADHD, then in DHH’s view you are somehow inferior. Instead of raising up and supporting the marginalised and vulnerable, DHH choses to exclude and punch down. This is not something the Ruby community can continue to simply ignore." 🎯

The Ruby community has a DHH problem

The Ruby community can no longer afford to stand silent in the face of DHH and his toxic ideas.

Transgender people are owed a retraction and apology from @wsj.com. The lie has already become canon to millions and it seems the least they could do.

I was searching frantically for the connection between Homicide/Natural deaths and that diamond and found the random intersection and went "I don't think that's how that works but at least it's there"

But it sure don't flow

They have never, ever expressed anything close to this level of pain and sympathy for school shooting victims.

On Fox News, the anchor Will Cain choked up on-air as he read aloud President Trump's announcement of the death of Charlie Kirk. "I don't know where we go from here as a news program," Mr. Cain told viewers, "and I don't know where we go from here in America."
Megyn Kelly, streaming live on YouTube, was tearful even before the news was confirmed, sobbing with her guest, Glenn Beck of The Blaze.
She described Mr. Kirk as a friend who supported her even when her relations with the MAGA world were strained. "I am so sorry to be bringing you this news," Ms. Kelly told her audience. Later
