Very. The first time I played was when Starfield launched and I wanted more of that. I’ve found it much easier to pick up this time after the Voyagers update than last.

Unsolicited (space) ship pic.

Screenshot from the game No Man’s Sky centring on the player character’s Corvette class space ship. The ship appears to be travelling at speed away from a large ringed planet that occupies much of the background.

A lovely little read. “All Creatures Great and Small,” is a lovely read, and many dramatisations have captured, I think, much of the story’s spirit.

I’ve got bad news both historically and in the US context for the people doing fascism in the U.S. facing consequences.

Screenshot from the game No Man’s Sky from the player’s first person perspective, looking up over the horizon as a handful of large spaceships fly over. Above and behind those ships in the centre are two planets in a line. Several green con-trails light behind several much smaller and harder to see ships. The sky is orange and purple.

In remembrance of the Bluesky leaderships team’s spectacular crash out these past weeks, banning users left and right, I’m reminded about them selling those “world without ceasers,” shirts. lol.

Book wise, I’m still pushing through “1Q84,” by Haruki Murakami. It’s good but it’s a 47 hour audio book. But also just picked up G.K. Chesterton’s “Father Brown: Collected Cases,” a full-cast BBC Radio dramatisation! Exciting stuff.

Screenshot from the game No Man’s Sky. The player charger is fishing from a ramp on the back of a hovering starship, its large runs engines filling the top left sixth of the image. The bottom half of the image is occupied by shimmering, nearly still water. The near background is a yellow and orange beach, dotted with trees. A cloudy, yellow sky fills the rest of the image.

I fucking love my local library, got 9 books on reserve and 1 on loan. It’s my first go to for any reading/listening. Don’t forget about libby and libro.fm too.

Library cards are cheaper than an Amazon unlimited subscription

And they have better ebooks available anyways

“Forced labourers?” Surely there’s another word for that.

Bluesky silenced trans voices over J.K. Rowling, here’s why

Outcry grows after multiple trans users were targeted for mild criticisms of the anti-trans billionaire.

Just incredible own goal after own goal.

Every day the user base tries to use the ability to speak directly with leadership and every time (unless you’re a bigot it seems) the users are treated like they’re disposable, with contempt.

“We built a decentralized network so you could run your own moderation,”

That’s why we caved to “angry,” conservatives and banned people who weren’t sufficiently conciliatory towards or making jokes about Charlie Kirk.

Jay 🦋 @jay.bsky.team · 8d

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.
