I always had hoped for a future where technology was helpful and uplifting to humanity but yeah...

I see it now.

And the sad thing is without corporate greed it might have become something better.

Anyone on here able to help me work on a possible pitch for a story? It involves the unarmed shooting of an abducted teenager by police in San Bernardino, a shootout on the freeway, far-right politics, and the trauma of divorce. I have gigabites of police reports + witness interviews + videos.
The funny thing is all these supposedly "agentic" things can't even do the useful shitwork of say, solving CAPTCHAs for you. You know, the things humans _genuinely_ would rather automate out.
Same with Tony Stark's JARVIS - I'd love to have it but not with all the corpo privacy invading bullshit.
Sad thing - as a child growing up on repeats of Star Trek: TNG, and something of a nerd, I always dreamt of an artificially intelligent computer I could control with natural language speech.

Now today, when Microsoft is pushing it, because of how they are doing so, I want naught to do with it.

I realise now this toy did not have holes in the bottom for feet (it was motorised) - but we could have those in the real one if there was a panel on the bottom that flipped up to cover the holes / reveal the front greebling for the chest.
@tjomega.bsky.social your latest series of videos had me thinking how a Flintstones car might work in #Transformers, so I did this crappy #Photoshop mockup of a transformation. I think it could work if we gave up on making the big wheels spin and just added small ones on the bottom somewhere.
also probably need a flap on the bottom that flips up to form the chest / cover the holes where the feet protrude - this toy (from the movie) had a solid bottom and I forgot about that.
ugh i realise i didn't specify where the waist pivot actually _is_
this is why Hasbro engineers make the big money

It's not a ballroom, it's a roof for the place he hides when he's scared.

Well, my heart (and the muse) have decided to shout at me “GIMME ALL YA GOT!” So please enjoy a sci-fi sketch this evening (fountain pen on paper).

I sure hope this is not how you think about people who like cars
Does Jabba the Hutt actually have any sexual interest in the humanoid slave girls he owns or is having a harem of conventionally attractive women a power and status symbol type thing only if you are a hermaphroditic gigantic slug who presumably is more biologically inclined towards its own kind?

If you want to troll capitalisms defenders, just be like: "oh cool, I love capitalism too. How much capital do you own? I see you work a salaried job for a living, which is socialism, but maybe you own some farms or something?" "No? just stocks? Participating in co-ops is a bit too socialist for me"
Picard: Why were you late, Lieutenant?

Worf: I was busy ignoring my son.

Picard: Excellent. Carry on.
Captain,

I apologize for my tardiness this morning. I make no excuse. This transgression will not happen again.

In case anyone is new to Bluesky & not using custom lists - an anecdote:

Over time I've come to follow around 1300 people / orgs, all wonderful and interesting, but sometimes the firehose is too much for me mentally. On those days I switch to a smaller list of a few people and it's so much calmer.
